### 5/5 — 5 stars but…

*2025-12-27, version 1.0.58*

The game is great the auto flight could use improvement but over all very fun but here’s the but I have all 3 of the komolexes new ships but they have not been added to the app so please add the new ships.

### 4/5 — Great app but could be better

*2025-11-20*

This a really cool app since I’m really into snap ships. There’s a lot of very cool features but I have a suggestion that would make this app SO MUCH COOLER. Suggestion: Add games to this app. A snap ships game would be INSANELY cool. I do have one problem with the app which is that in the profile where you can keep track of the snap ships you have, it doesn’t have the newer snap ships like the Claymore and the Hammerjaw, only the older ones like the Gladius and the scarab.

### 3/5 — New addition

*2025-09-01, version 1.0.58*

You should add Custom ships

### 2/5 — It’s… meh.

*2025-04-27, version 1.0.58*

It was okay, but VERY boring. Maybe add something where you can build custom ships in game?

### 1/5 — New set not added

*2024-03-15, version 1.0.58*

If you make all of the new Snapchat sets, why won’t they add it? I mean come on there’s a Mac there’s a new freaking complex ship as well as a Mac tank for the complex as well as a new Hawken ship for the Forge and more than that. so put the freaking sense in the game as an update. or else you’ll get a negative review.

### 5/5 — I love this game

*2023-08-12, version 1.0.58*

I love it. Awesome 
The game need some more Snap ships

### 5/5 — Awesome

*2023-08-05, version 1.0.58*

Nice app

### 1/5 — Wish to not need the toys.

*2023-05-11, version 1.0.58*

Do we really need to have the toys to scan…? I’m gentle.

### 5/5 — Awesome

*2023-03-11, version 1.0.58*

Downloaded just to check, wasn’t expecting much, but if you have the toys this is amazing! Multiple ship designs that are different to the ones provided in the instruction books, and very easy to follow steps to build. Great overall

### 4/5 — Love this game

*2022-07-25, version 1.0.58*

This game is really handy if your just getting started with snap ships. It tells you everything about each ship and witch uju tech piece you will get. I do have 2 complaints. First is that I wish they had the knew snap ships like the hammer jaw and claymore. And second I wish you could make your own ships in the game and then get the sets that will give you the pieces you will need to build the ship you made yourself. Other than that the game and the product “snap ships” are well made and fun. Can’t wait for the board game.🤪😀😇😎👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👋🏻👋🏻👍🏼👍🏼🫡
