### 2/5 — Camera issues

*2026-07-22, version 1.2.2*

I was willing to buy the game, but the camera controls makes it almost unplayable

### 3/5 — Buy to play??

*2026-07-10, version 1.2.2*

I was playing the game and it was time for mission 2 I clicked on it ready to play but it said purchase content so I was like what it wanted me to pay 20$ just to play the rest of the campaign or maybe just a glitch???

### 3/5 — Ok adaptation, camera NEEDS fixing!

*2026-06-23, version 1.2.2*

I really hope the developers read this, because this game has so much potential, but the camera for this game needs to be changed. I don’t understand why there isn’t in option to have the camera be draggable like in other mobile shooters. If the developers do read this, please update the game to give an option to make the camera draggable.

### 2/5 — Problème de sauvegarde ICloud

*2026-06-11*

Le jeu est de très bonne qualité, les missions sont très biens fournis avec des graphismes très sympathique tant bien sur Mac que sur iPhone. 
Le problème ? Le crossover de sauvegarde avec ICloud. La force du système aurait été intéressant entre jouer sur son Mac pour continuer sa progression en déplacement avec son téléphone. (Les contrôles sont pas intuitifs mais avec la première mission on peut s’y habituer et rendre le tout très jouissif) mais le problème c’est que j’ai perdu 2 sauvegardes pour le mettre sur le cloud et même malgré l’activation de la sauvegarde via ICloud je n’ai pas la sauvegarde sur mes appareils compatibles mais sur un appareil. L’autre recommence à 0. J’ai dû recommencer 3-4 partie après avoir y jouer quelques temps pour rattraper les sauvegardes perdues précédemment… en gros j’ai perdu au moins 6 sauvegardes au total donc une trentaine d’heures de jeux à la poubelle littéralement. Je pensais mettre 4* voir 5 mais tant que ce problème ne sera pas résolu je mettrait pas plus de 2*…

### 3/5 — 13?

*2026-06-07, version 1.2.2*

This game says it is 13+ but it is M according to all the websites like google. Apple Store fix this.

### 5/5 — Bonne qualité

*2026-05-21*

Franchement nickel le jeu est de bonne qualité au début c’est un peu dur sur mobile mais on s’y habitue vite continuer comme ça il manquerais juste des petites touches au niveau des plantes et avoir plus accès au bâtiment dans la première mission de campagne continuez comme sa je vous soutiens très fortement 😉🎉

### 3/5 — great but...

*2026-05-17, version 1.2.2*

it plays really well no lag or anything like that. controller connect is easy...only problem is render distance and graphics. it looks like a 2002 game and when you have a sniper looking super far render distance is a joke like super bad graphics im not even nit picking. most indie mobile games have better graphics. i understand its a triple a console game shrunk to be played on mobile but yeah...graphics makes it hard to see soldiers with out tagging them

### 5/5 — Very good game

*2026-05-06, version 1.2.2*

I have completed all the missions and i have truly enjoyed every single mission. I wish if they could provide updates and new missions

### 5/5 — Hours of fun

*2026-05-01, version 1.2.2*

This massive game kept me playing for hours/days. I was sad when it came to an end. 

Great value for money, please release more games. 

Thank you.

### 4/5 — Brilliant PC Port, but beware the "Hidden" Downloads

*2026-04-25, version 1.2.2*

A genuinely impressive port of Sniper Elite 4. The gameplay is smooth, the controls feel well-optimized for mobile, and it’s impressive to see a full AAA third-person shooter experience running this well on a handheld device. The stealth mechanics, gunplay, and overall performance make this one of the strongest shooter ports on mobile.

My main criticism is the update system. While store updates may appear small, the game often requires a much larger mandatory in-game download afterward (in my case 5.65 GB), which is not clearly communicated upfront. This can be frustrating for players with limited storage, data caps, or slower internet, especially when it feels like an unexpected second update.

I hope the developers can either remove these large mandatory hidden downloads when possible, or at least be transparent and state the full required update size beforehand so players know what to expect.

Still an excellent game and an outstanding port overall.

### 5/5 — Sniper élite 4

*2026-04-25*

Jeux excellent rien a dire avec mon iphone 16 et la manette bluetooth GX TRUST franchement c'est pareil que si je jouais sur play 5 avec ma télé je vient d'acheter le jeux entier a 22 euro sa vaut le coup ma play étant cassé pour le moment moment je ne regrette pas du tout cet achat merci au constructeur✅✅✅✅✅🔫

### 5/5 — Great stuff!

*2026-04-15, version 1.2.2*

A very well optimised Mac port. Runs incredibly smoothly on high settings on an M1 Max. One the best games I’ve played on the Mac. Even runs well on a base model M2 with only 8Gb ram. Gripping gameplay, huge open levels that let you tackle them in many different ways, & a great saving system. Also, no super annoying ‘boss fights’ that spoil a lot of FPS games for me. I don’t have the patience to spend hours trying to shoot one giant robot etc

### 3/5 — Good game, except on MacBook Air

*2026-04-13, version 1.2.2*

I tried it on a MacBook Air M4 it runs fine until my MacBook Air reaches thermal temp max and begins to throttle. Then game starts to suffer and eventually become unplayable.

### 5/5 — Need

*2026-04-09*

We want sniper elite 5 or resistance please what a brilliant game

### 4/5 — Awesome

*2026-03-28*

I use Bluetooth mouse and keyboard which give me pc like experience. Love the game. Story is awesome. For those who are complaining about bad sensitivity, what are you thinking playing a pc game on finger? Can’t wait for sniper elite 5

### 3/5 — Control are terrible, unusable

*2026-03-28*

The controls are very difficult to use. The control position should be adjustable, resizable and aim should not work like an onscreen joystick. Give the ability to adjust onscreen controls transparency. The camera should be freely movable. Adding gyroscope control will greatly improve gameplay. The game itself is very good, but the controls are holding it back. I am buying it to support the game port, but unfortunately due to bad onscreen controls I will not be able to play it. Hopefully this will get fixed.

### 1/5 — Very Greedy

*2026-08-19, version 1.2.2*

You MUST pay to play. Nothing free!

### 1/5 — Controller doesn’t work

*2026-06-30, version 1.2.2*

Started the game yesterday and 90% of my controller buttons no longer work.

### 1/5 — Limite de jogo

*2026-05-10*

Só pode jogar o básico e uma vez só, não pode restaurar e jogar novamente, um lixo aí só comprando poderiam falar que é só demo.

### 1/5 — Fix the way the controls handle for phone players it’s litteraly impossible to play.

*2026-04-16, version 1.2.2*

If u would make it fixed speed optional would be great

### 1/5 — Movements in the games is worst

*2026-03-18, version 1.2.2*

I purchased this game for entertainment but it cause headache because of its movements in the game and can’t fix it in the options menu. This game sucks

### 1/5 — Stuck on loading screen

*2026-03-15, version 1.2.2*

On Mac, it’s stuck on infinite loading screen. Fix it

### 1/5 — Stopped supporting

*2026-03-09, version 1.2.2*

Was great until latest update and then they stopped supporting it and it doesn’t recognise purchases. No news from support when and iff they are going to, recommended me wiping my device and going back to an old Os to play it! I guess they are gearing up for the delayed Sniper elite 5 but very annoying to just basically take the game you purchased away from you

### 1/5 — Can’t work on iOS 26.4

*2026-03-04, version 1.2.2*

Can’t work on iOS 26.4

### 1/5 — Não restaura a compra

*2026-03-02*

Joguei e zerei, apaguei e quis recomeçar a jogar, porém na hora de restaurar a compra ele simplesmente não restaura, isso é roubo

### 1/5 — Нет кооперативного режима

*2026-02-28, version 1.2.2*

Специально покупал эту игру, чтобы играть вместе с другом, но как оказалось кооперативный режим игры не доступен на MAC устройствах. Просто феерия ну и конечно же выброшенные на ветер деньги

### 5/5 — best game ever

*2026-08-21, version 1.2.2*

can’t wait for the sniper elite 5 to be on mac…

### 5/5 — Exceptional

*2026-07-28, version 1.2.2*

I usually hate stealth games. This blends stealth and shooting pretty well. For those like me, there’s an excellent skill curve. The training mode actually helps. I’m not dedicated enough to be great at this but I’ll come back to this often. Great game.

### 5/5 — :)

*2026-07-15, version 1.2.2*

Очень круто что такое существует, не зря айфон взял, 30 кадров идет хорошо

### 5/5 — Best productivity killer ever!

*2026-07-11, version 1.2.2*

I am a fan of this series from the Xbox and when I saw it on the Mac / iPad had to purchase it.  SE4 is my favorite in the series, and really looking forward to seeing 5 even though its release seems to be getting pushed back.  It (SE4) plays true to what I remember from the Xbox and looks great.  I use the XBox wireless controller (Bluetooth) with my Mac and iPad and works flawlessly for controls.  Kind of wished multiplayer existed, online cross platform will be nice too although not sure many still play online.  Great game to catch.

### 5/5 — Best game ever 😎

*2026-06-28, version 1.2.2*

*2026-06-16, version 1.2.2*

### 5/5 — Vielen Dank das es dieses Spiel Gratis Auf IOS gibt!

*2026-06-05*

### 5/5 — Console Quality
