### 5/5 — Love it

*2026-03-13, version 1.6.0*

It's fun, light and NO ads. Perfect for me.

### 5/5 — Love it

*2024-10-27*

I love this game. Play it every time I have a chance.
The only set back is when you purchase a new device. It never brings your level with the App. I play it since 2017 and when I bought a new iPad in 2021, I had to restart from level 1. Today, October 2024, I bought another iPad, and guess what… the App loaded again on level 1. My level was above 5,000.
It’s very disappointing. Please, fix it.

### 5/5 — Yes Jayashree.

*2023-12-13, version 1.6.0*

Like it very very much.

### 2/5 — Just deleted this game

*2023-01-17, version 1.6.0*

I deleted this game. It was just getting to be too expensive for someone on a budget. Sometimes, it would take days to complete a level and purchasing tools was just too expensive - No across the board packages, sales, etc. It could be a fun game but frustrating to advance and expensive for aids.

### 1/5 — No way to win

*2022-11-24, version 1.6.0*

Most games will give you daily bonuses and/or ways to earn extra turns.  This one does not, which makes it almost impossible to move up a level.

### 5/5 — Love this game

*2021-10-17, version 1.6.0*

I love it, play it almost everyday.
But I got a new iPad and couldn’t restore my progress. I don’t know why because I even saved it in the iCloud not to loose years of playing. But I’m hooked to it and will start all over again

### 1/5 — Money Grab

*2020-11-07, version 1.6.0*

No accumulation of points or gifts. Just a weapon every 5 or so levels.

### 5/5 — Most Beautiful C’mas Game EVER!!!!

*2019-12-27, version 1.6.0*

Thank you to the Designers of this Game & Peaceful Joyful Christmas to you...& A New Year worth remembering!!! BLESS YOU ALL!!!

### 4/5 — Just starting but

*2019-10-21, version 1.6.0*

Just starting but so far so good. I hope that I can get to the higher levels without having to buy boosters. I had to delete the other Christmas game of theirs because I could not get past 334. Also I hope the boosters and lives don’t disappear or remain unusable as in the other game as well. The scenery in the tank one games is beautiful, I wish we could pause the game to look and the different pictures before the game board covers them.. love the rank one games!!! Merry Christmas everyone ♥️🎄♥️🎄♥️

### 5/5 — Aggravating!

*2019-02-01, version 1.6.0*

Most aggravating so far of these games...you could not win or advance because you never get enough items that are required to win. It is obvious it’s ridiculous. Thus you have to endure non stop ads for their other games. I have loved these games in the past... play them everyday... but it has become tiring and redundant to even try to play anymore ..any of their games...I can not get out of one game .. been on it for weeks. What happened to your games Rank One! ???they are no fun anymore.
