*2026-06-01, version 1.48*

*2026-03-17, version 1.48*

I’ve had this game for a really long time it’s a very good sinking simulator for your phone. Please bring back the Olympic and also add the ss United States

### 4/5 — Please don’t remove ships

*2026-03-17, version 1.48*

Can we please either have RMS Olympic back or a high-resolution version of the Titanic (like Olympic was)? It’s not a good update to remove ships, even if replacing them (particularly replacing a historic and famous ship with some generic random old ship); I wish this game hadn’t updated. I have a wishlist I’d been meaning to suggest but removing content is a much bigger fish to fry.

### 3/5 — Fix it

### 5/5 — Add more chips

*2026-03-04, version 1.47*

I like the game in all of that, but could we please have more ships to sink?

### 1/5 — Will not Open

*2026-05-23, version 1.48*

Bought this app for $15 and it crashes every time I try to open it, so I can’t use it at all. I want my money back, especially because it said it was compatible with my device.

### 1/5 — Titanic’s speed

*2025-07-29, version 1.46*

Where you would change the Titanic’s speed there is only a white box and there is annoying noise. FIX YOUR GAME!

### 1/5 — This game is cursed

### 1/5 — Don’t waste your money

*2025-01-18, version 1.44*

Get to the 3rd level and mooring with two tug vessels. It was no problem except it didn’t go to the next level even though I had done what was supposed to be done to pass on to level 4 but nothing happened… 🤨 won’t allow me to hit the “Submit” button in the top right without giving it a ⭐️ otherwise it wouldn’t get the one it’s been given.

### 5/5 — free roam

*2026-08-05, version 1.48*

If there’s free roam in this game how do I access it and if there isn’t please add it

### 5/5 — Great Lakes Frrighter

*2026-07-23, version 1.48*

The S.S Edmund Fitzgerald or Carl D. Bradley should be added.
With the ability to change the waves and weather it would be super cool to replicate the final voyage of both of these ships.

### 5/5 — Hey

*2026-07-15, version 1.48*

Yo excuse me sir it would be Crazy if you added the Lusitania and if you don’t that’s fine 👍 Also please add more animations like the funnels falling and more sinking animations and also add the S.S American star. And also like one of the comments can you make a player model so the player can move around the ship when it sinks or when it is stopped and can you please add interiors so basically you can go in like cabins and that stuff and it doesn’t matter if the insides are detailed or not that detailed. Also (yes I’m adding more to this) but can you make it so after a while it gives you a button so you can explore the wreck? Like that would be cool and also please add a bit more ships and make the earlier models more detailed and make submarines that you can find and play as an shoot your boat down and also add boiler explosions and more realistic crash physics and add people to the boat so you can see how much people died and how many survived. This is probably all I have for this request if you add these things it would be crazy and thank you for making one of the best ship sinking/driving/handling game there is on the AppStore/Playstore

### 5/5 — Good game

*2026-07-10, version 1.48*

### 5/5 — Hey

### 5/5 — More ships

*2026-06-09, version 1.48*

There are a lot of ships but what if we could create our own ships and plz add the smokestacks falling when it sinks and let us explore the ship even when it’s sinking it could make it seem like we’re someone that experienced it sink plz take this into consideration and plz add multiplayer plz take this into consideration

### 5/5 — Queen Mary 2
