### 1/5 — Unplayable on iPad

*2024-05-29, version 1.5.0*

Black lines and black screens. Does not work well with the iPad. Please update the app for iPads.

### 1/5 — Don’t expect an update

*2024-05-19, version 1.5.0*

I have e-mailed stinger games to inquire as to whether there will ever be another update for this game. No response. Going on almost 6 years without any improvements. Inexcusable I noticed in the reviews I am not the only one with a stats issue for the ipad in terms of no stats being shown, just gray lines The game worked fine on my iPhone 12 I was due for an upgrade after a few years and went to the 15 Pro. Sure enough the game has a glitchy screen and is basically unusable since it’s hard to see For the people who have posted about difficult controls, I get it. But once I practiced enough. I got the hang of it They need to read their reviews - positive and negative - to get a feel for what their customers /fans of the game want I want to give this app 5 stars again, but until improvements are made for US the customers/fans, I will not Have a safe and happy holidays everyone!
