### 4/5 — Jogo extremamente bom

*2026-08-24*

Esse jogo é bastante bom, com muita variedade e rejogabilidade, um único fator ruim é que existe um bug que as vezes, depois que os anúncios normais aparecem depois de eu iniciar o jogo ou depois de completar um nível, o jogo buga e crasha.
Mas além disso, eu recomendaria muito esse jogo para alguém que não sabe o que jogar. 
Eu digo parabéns aos desenvolvedores.

### 2/5 — ВНИМАНИЕ! КАТАСТРОФА! ПОМОГИТЕ!

*2026-07-21*

Здравствуйте уважаемые разработчики, у меня iOS 12.5.8 с iPhone 6 Plus. Скачал ProgressBar 95, думаю наконец-то нашёл что-то замечательное и совместимое с моим устройством, открываю, иии, барабанная дробь, вылетает. ПОЖАЛУЙСТА! ИСПРАВТЕ ЭТО😫!
Я уже писал в поддержку, а они не отвечают! Минимум месяц!

### 4/5 — One problem

*2026-07-10*

I love this game but sometimes whenever I tap on a pc or whatever I get an and but when I close it completely blackscreens and I can’t play and even when I close the app and do it again it still doesn’t let me log in due to the black screen it doesn’t ruin the game but it’s just annoying

### 5/5 — A nostalgia of windows

*2026-07-09, version 1.9570*

I always play it
And the new Progressbar Pe update is actually amazing

### 5/5 — Request:

*2026-07-08, version 1.9570*

I would really appreciate it if you would add the ability to make custom posts in PBook :)

### 4/5 — Good game but poor support

*2026-07-05, version 1.9570*

I love the game. It’s well made, hits nostalgia correctly, is fun, and I have been playing for years. However the customer support for the company is basically non existent. Accidentally purchased something I didn’t want and wanted to know if I could refund or at least have my account reset just so I could play the way I wanted. I didn’t mind giving them money but I wanted to do it differently. It’s been weeks with no response now. I ended up resetting myself in a different way and gave them MORE money but still, wish the customer support was better.

### 5/5 — Super fun game

*2026-07-05, version 1.9570*

Found no bugs or issues playing it

### 2/5 — Issue

*2026-06-30, version 1.9570*

There is an issue when I open the game on my iPad mini 2 and when I open it, it unexpectedly crashes and even after deleting it and reinstalling it, it still does not work

### 4/5 — Fun

*2026-06-27, version 1.9570*

Game is fun. Not very hard so far. I like it. Nothing too good, but it’s good.

### 5/5 — Very fun game, so cool to play

*2026-06-27, version 1.9570*

10/10.   

would recommend playing for sure.

### 5/5 — this is the best game I’ve seen!

*2026-06-23*

This is the best game I’ve seen the older or starter os is kinda cool because it has old disk sounds and nostalgia and now we have a tablet pc!

### 5/5 — ♥︎

*2026-06-23, version 1.9570*

so fun but no sounds

### 5/5 — barOS 26 и barOS 27

*2026-06-22*

Добавьте системы  barOS 26 Taco (MacOS 26 Tahoe) и barOS 27 Golden Gear (MacOS 27 Golden Gate)

### 4/5 — I don't see any reason to rate this anything other than 4/5 star

*2026-06-21, version 1.9570*

I don't want to write an introductory paragraph so I'll just put bullet points of my stuff.
(I CAN'T KEEP EDITING MY REVIEWS OVER AND OVER AGAIN)
C1. Compliment. I love the visuals and the sounds, they look (almost) just like old-school OSes. I'm a gen alpha and I'm kind of sad I didn't get to experience the 70s to early 2010s, and this helps a lot.
C3. It's also a really good timekiller. If you're bored just play this game, it solves so much problems with waiting. (THERE IS NO SECOND COMPLIMENT lol)
C3 2: Electric Boogaloo™. I love Bin™.

CS1. Content Suggestion. Add new gamemodes. A lot of them are either too boring like PB XL or too hard like Progresssweeper.
	a. Make new gamemodes based off of Microsoft 365 or whatever it's called, I kinda forgot.
	b. I suggest you take recommendations from fan concept wikis for the game.
CS2. A bit more direct, but add a smartphone system line.
CS3. The mines in H@ckgresh are almost indistinguishable from regular pop-ups. Make them different.
DS1. Development Suggestion. Stop leaving massive gaps between Android and Steam updates and iOS updates. It's making me mad.

B1. Bug report. One time I was playing Screensaver 3D when I got the last segment (or 3, I got a 3x cyan at 85%) but on the exact same frame I got the third one, I hit a red segment. I did CHKPROGRESS hoping that would make me win automatically, but instead, it softlocked me making my progressbar at 100% with no way to put any more segments in. I had to catch another red segment and not do CHKPROGRESS to get out. Please fix.
B2. In BarOS, there's this annoying black bar at the top of the screen that is exclusive to the system line for some reason, and the bar itself might not seem annoying, but the Terminus close button is inside the bar. I'm not sure if the close button issue involves the 4:3 aspect ratio issue as well though. Please fix.
B3. Radial progressbars (or progresscircles I like to say) in BarOS, for some reason, there's a chance for segments to pass clean right through them and that's annoying. Please fix.
B4. Some game design elements are just NOT built for 4:3 aspect ratio screens like iPad, where some things are just way too oversized and sometimes even off screen. Please fix.
B5. One time I got a stupid restart from a file copying unknown.exe file, but the overlay from when the window was active stayed on and I was basically softlocked. Please fix.
B6. The calendar is off-sync. That's all I can really say for this one. Please fix.
B7. Once I was playing PB xs, and I got like a lot of bonuses. When the game ended, guess what bonuses I got from the numbers? Literally nothing. Please fix.

So overall, it's fine, but there are a few things that can be built on.

is pdrd dead

### 4/5 — Is good but...

*2026-06-21, version 1.9570*

I played the game for first time and I won the game so I was at level 13 but I still can’t go on the Internet thing. Can you please make it easier please tell me.

### 4/5 — Wow

*2026-06-20, version 1.9570*

This game is actually super fun! I love the wolfenstein mini game!

### 5/5 — CAN YOU ADD BarOS 26!?

*2026-06-17, version 1.9570*

WHY IS THE LATEST BAROS AT BarOS 15 ON PROGESH COMPUTERS!? I NEED BarOS 26 NOW!

### 5/5 — Bug report

*2026-06-17, version 1.9570*

Hi PB95 team, I should tell you that the advertisement at startup once booted in can cause a black screen and needs to be fixed, otherwise it is literally unplayable

### 1/5 — L

*2026-07-05, version 1.9570*

Why Does PB Puts A Black Screen When Quiting An Ad?

### 1/5 — YOU TOOK MY MONEY

*2026-06-20, version 1.9570*

i bought 25 keys, and then you told me to use my cloud save, then my keys were GONE! and my money is still gone! hitting the restore purchases button does nothing.

### 1/5 — ADS KILLING ME

*2026-06-13, version 1.9570*

I used to play this game so I know it works so why the heck do I boot up progress bar 95 plus, get an ad, and then get a black screen of NOTHING when I close the ad? I’ll literally see the game screen right before the ad pops up and I’ll STILL get a black screen of nothing. Maybe it’s the ad but even then I’ve gotten different ads from different companies and still get the black screen. Maybe it doesn’t affect anybody else, I don’t know.

### 1/5 — 👎🏻

### 5/5 — Хорошая игра

*2026-08-17*

Игра отличная, только добавьте облачное сохранение через Google Play, а не только через Game Center. А так все хорошо

### 5/5 — Имба

*2026-08-13*

Игра просто шикардос ток я не понял как ключи собирать ну так ибулич

### 5/5 — amazing, but needs optimisation for mac

*2026-08-09*

i strongly suggest adding a pc gui, computer support, giving ios the latest version and allow progreshes to be customised. this game is great, and ahs hours of fun, but after a while, it can get slightly repetetive for some, but the new options makes it fresh. pls allow ios/macos to experience betas. once again, this game is almost perfect, and it keeps getting better every drop. 100% a 5 star game
