The obstruction, bouncy blocker I find to be the worst. I noticed my opponent has no problem, shifting a few degrees and clearing the obstruction when I use it against them, yet when I drastically shift the angle of attack on my turn, I always am deflected when it's played against me. Not that big of a deal, but it does feel like it's not a balanced game in this silly little detail. Obviously, I'm a stickler for details. ### 3/5 — Fun But Frustrating *2026-07-20, version 3.0.0* I always liked this game so thought I would give the phone version a go, it’s really fun and easy to play but the computer opponents are too difficult. Even on the easiest setting they hit your tank first time and never really miss so you have to get your first shot right to have any chance. ### 3/5 — Lvl 1 *2026-07-01, version 3.0.0* I can barely win i nean come cpu opp almost nvr misses what lvl 2 gonna be me difficult and i wont win? ### 3/5 — Overpriced *2026-06-26* Game can't be better but after paying 500rs still 150 weapons unlocked and then for whole 400 weapons to be unlocked have to pay 100rs per pack that would take like 2000rs. Not worth it. ### 4/5 — Need new weapons packs *2026-06-20, version 3.0.0* Great game but needs new weapons packs for us loyalists ### 4/5 — Very cool tank game *2026-06-19, version 3.0.0* I like that this is a game where math and physics work together and there’s no battle pass, no skins, and no pay to win. It’s really chill and fun, and like other people said, chat would be pretty nice ### 5/5 — Awesome *2026-03-18, version 3.0.0* It’s just straight up good! The aim mechanic is hard to get used to but otherwise great. No ads ### 5/5 — No Ads!! *2026-03-14, version 3.0.0* Great game. Free to play the basic game. Awesome to play with friends. Not a game from some big corporation. Just fun and NO ADS! ### 2/5 — Could be better. *2026-02-20, version 3.0.0* This game is very fun but when people take over a minute to do their next volley gets old. Been multiple times where i wait for my opponent to do their turn for over 5minutes. There has to be a timer to do your next attack in my opinion it should be 15 seconds to prepare and aim. My other issue is the weapons. There should be a way to see what a certain weapon does without going into practice mode. Like if i click on a weapon there should be a video where it shows the best and most effective way to use the weapon. Also there is to many weapons that dont do anything but waste a turn. Like the weapon that only gives you 10,5 and 0 degrees like what is that good for other than wasting a weapon slot and a turn. ### 2/5 — Frustrating issues in a simple premise *2026-02-14, version 3.0.0* Suckered by nostalgia, I’ve spent more time with this game than it deserves. The biggest problem is that what you see isn’t always accurate. This is most critical when try to shoot through obstructions but creeps up elsewhere. Other issues include poor weapon value assignments, poor randomizations from the weapon draw to the arena generation, and odd weapon value logic. Weapon draw luck has too much impact. Small issue, too many of the weapons are actually the same thing with different optics. ### 5/5 — A+ Classic game *2026-02-04, version 3.0.0* I love this game. I remember my dad showing me this game maybe in 2001 when I was 3 and have been playing it ever since and in 28 now, still playing it with my dad and family that grew up with it. ### 5/5 — It’s so fun especially online with a friend *2026-01-20, version 3.0.0* You can have tons of fun choosing mini weapons and there’s good weapons bad weapons super cool stuff not just the weapons but fun game you can do tons of stuff change the color of you ### 5/5 — Decades of fun *2026-01-14, version 3.0.0* I’ve played this on and off since high school in the back of math class. This was in the 2000s - I played before and after deluxe and it’s always been a great time to pick up. You aren’t good unless you can land a sniper shot after a wind change with no tracers. Definitely recommend ### 4/5 — Обнова будет? *2025-12-25* Игра прикольная вот бы новые паки, и возможность с другом 1х1 менять направление ветра и тд ### 3/5 — Not as good as I expected it to be *2025-12-21, version 3.0.0* I can’t even get into the game because it won’t load but if you try it, it might work ### 5/5 — Love it, pls solve issue *2025-11-14* I’m absolutely addicted to this, and love the game. I just updated my version but the game isn’t loading anymore. Can you please check and solve my issue ? ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Computer bot never misses *2026-08-21, version 3.0.0* If you play against a bot on an easy mode, it still seems to get a perfect direct hit every time. Definitely feels dumb playing against a computer that doesn’t make mistakes. I’m uninstalling ### 1/5 — Terrible *2026-04-07, version 3.0.0* Unfortunately this game is terrible. Slow, buggy, laggy and so dated it really should either be updated completely or removed from the App Store. Don’t make the mistake I did and purchased the deluxe version as it’s no better than the free one. ### 1/5 — Defiantly needs an update *2026-02-25, version 3.0.0* I don’t think they have ever reviewed they’re game since it was released ### 1/5 — Non-Functional? *2025-12-19, version 3.0.0* Is anyone else having this issue where the app never loads. It just hangs on the loading screen… tried going through support on their website without any response for a week. ### 1/5 — Can’t open the game *2025-10-28, version 3.0.0* I bought the pack of additional weapons and now the game won’t open. Rebooted my ipad, nothing, deleted and re installed the game and it still doesn’t open. ### 1/5 — Bad Game *2025-07-02, version 2.7.8* The worest game ever ### 1/5 — Garbage game *2025-06-29, version 2.7.8* Worst game I ever played ### 1/5 — Way too hard *2025-06-07, version 2.7.8* Whenever you try to aim it’s just so weird and annoying like why add a power button if you have an angle button and even on easy mode the bots are still way too hard ### 1/5 — Game is down and does not authenticate. Last update corrupted the login ability- on day 4 *2025-04-02, version 2.7.7* Cannot access the game at all and I have purchased all weapons. No response from help desk. ### 1/5 — Online is a mess *2025-02-21, version 2.7.5* Bots and Lan is fun but im not sure what the developer was thinking with online. Besides the 60 second lag between each turn, it shouldve been a weapon draft like the other modes instead both players get a completely random lineup and neither player knows what they both have so using/holding counters is useless ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Lack of weapons options *2026-07-16* Please make available all pc weapons on mobile platforms ### 5/5 — Best quick game *2026-07-13, version 3.0.0* Best quick game but one player discovered a way to cheat and get 999 points for every move and relocate to any spot on the map. No response when I emailed about this issue. ### 5/5 — Veteran! *2026-07-09, version 3.0.0* I’ve been playing this game since computer lab in middle school sometime in the very early 2000s. Absolutely love this game and share with everybody that I can so I can have 1on1 matches. So glad it’s still available. ### 5/5 — Pure Nostalgie *2026-07-09* Erinnere mich als ich ein Kind war und dieses Spiel am PC von meinem Vater im Büro gezockt habe! Die music hat sich eingebrannt! Super einfach zu verstehen und macht spaß! ### 5/5 — Have never found such a great game until now *2026-06-18, version 3.0.0* Pocket tank is literally the BEST game, I play it everyday and best of all there’s no adds! ### 5/5 — Nostalgia *2026-06-12, version 3.0.0* This game is pure nostalgia for me because I remember playing this in the 90’s on pc called scorched earth and have been searching for it ever since and to see a version of it here, it was an instant download for me!!!!! Kudos to the creators of this game. ### 5/5 — Fun game *2026-06-01, version 3.0.0* Fun game, best part is no ads. Playing with my gf is so much fun. And i love the fact that we get a good variety of weapons in the free version to try it out ### 5/5 — This Game is my Childhood *2026-04-27, version 3.0.0* I used to be obsessed with this game as a kid. Glad to see it’s still around and just as fun as it used to be. ### 5/5 — 🤩 *2026-03-31, version 3.0.0* Love this game so much as a kid! Now on a mobile app!!? I love it ### 5/5 — It was great *2026-03-27, version 3.0.0* I have no other things to say👍 --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
