### 4/5 — Not an online game

*2020-05-26, version 1.0.7*

I thought the multiplayer meant online playing against your friends but sadly I was mistaken but still a good game

### 3/5 — Laser crash

*2018-11-08, version 1.0.7*

When you pick up the laser it crashes plz fix

### 3/5 — Ok

*2018-06-17*

I like it but fix it and add more modes and features.

### 3/5 — Updates

*2018-03-17, version 1.0.7*

READ THE BOTTOM This game would be an easy 5 star if it ran smoothly. I play the computer version all the time and absolutely love it but the mobile version obviously hasn’t been updated in 2 years. If the developers read this PLEASE update this game so it doesn’t crash when you pick up the laser, make it so the tank can move when you shoot the rocket, and all and all just so the game runs smooth. This is one of my favorite computer games and I don’t want the mobile to ruin it.

### 3/5 — Laser Powerup Crash

*2017-11-16*

I have an iPhone 7 and whenever I get the Laser powerup it’s Crashes for some reason. If you guys fixed this I’ll give you 5 stars 👌🏼🎱💯

### 4/5 — Easy was hard

*2017-07-06, version 1.0.7*

Easy was hard

### 4/5 — Good game but...

*2017-05-07*

This is a great game... but it needs more updates.

### 4/5 — The laser glitches!!!

*2017-04-04*

Whenever you get the laser the game crashes and it is very annoying! The mac version is great, but with iPad you need to fix the laser and add in more power ups, the maps need to be bigger also

### 4/5 — Eh

*2017-01-28*

It's good but PLEASE add multiplayer through TWO devices! My phone and even iPad is way too uncomfortable for us to play on one device! Plz add wifi multiplayer!!!

### 4/5 — Good game

*2016-06-12, version 1.0.7*

Pretty good and fun and challenging game. Two player is hard for phone sizes and you need to add power ups in single player

### 4/5 — Love the computer version

*2016-05-13, version 1.0.7*

Love the computer version with multiplayer and it's great but this one need power ups spawning faster

### 3/5 — Derpa

*2016-05-04, version 1.0.7*

If a derpa became a Herpa, a cow would become a uniseahorse.

### 4/5 — Pretty good 🤔

*2016-03-29, version 1.0.7*

While i saw that the movement was nice in my opinion, there is something that ABSOLUTELY needed to be added. Online multiplayer, seriously, why not update it to where it can? SO many people might like it, just a bit better, i would have given it  five stars, but THERE IS NO ONLINE MULTIPLAYER! 😡🤔

### 4/5 — Tank trouble is nice!

*2015-10-28, version 1.0.7*

Tank trouble is nice but the controls are bad but tank trouble is boss on computer you should try it go to unblocked games

### 4/5 — I like this version a lot better!

*2015-10-23*

The game used to be released under "Tank Trouble" under developer "Jack Dent Limited" it's no longer on the App Store, and it was pretty good.

But this version has plenty of improvements, it's nothing but improvements, like having a single-player mode, the original app was only multiplayer. Also, having bigger maps and power-ups are welcome features, as well as the option for both vertical and landscape play, and account integration.

However, it isn't all sunshine and progression, this version has also gotten worse than to previous app, for starters, no multi-device multiplayer, whereas the old app used to have online multiplayer, this version offers no such thing, I mean, the old version even had Bluetooth multiplayer. Now, multiplayer is crowding around a small screen hunched over because the phones laying on the table.

Also, and this isn't really a big matter, but the old tank trouble app could be played on iOS 4.2.1 devices, and now it's only iOS 5.1.1 devices, again though, this doesn't really matter, not many users will have those devices anyway.

Also, it would be nice to be able to change your tanks colours in-game. And the power-ups not being in single-player mode is a bit strange, I would like power-ups in single-player mode please.

But the biggest offence has to be the title screen, the logo doesn't shake and fall off when you tap it! This was the single most important feature of the old app, it showed character, and now it's gone.

Still though, a good game, though the old version used to be £0.69. (Just saying)

### 4/5 — Good

*2015-07-15, version 1.0.7*

Love the game but you could add something to work for like you get points every kill or win and use them to buy better tanks and so on and mutliplayer so you can play with your friends not in the same wifi that would make it 5 stars. Hopefully i will see these things added in shortly!

### 3/5 — Ok game but more needed to justify price tag

*2015-06-20*

Overall game is fun to play but it needs more options like a campaign. Online capability would be awesome too.

### 1/5 — Not impressed

*2022-11-25, version 1.0.7*

Not what it used to be. Not worth $2

### 1/5 — Bugs

*2022-01-07*

App keeps crashing

### 1/5 — horrible controls

*2016-06-07, version 1.0.7*

the game on the laptop is much better, these controls are too hard to use.  this game is bad.

### 1/5 — Not worth the money

*2016-04-23, version 1.0.7*

This game needs a lot of work if its going to be worth $2. There are still several glitches that need to be worked out, and the controls need a lot of fine tuning still. This app was thoroughly disappointing. I would not recommend this app. The computer version is a lot better.

### 1/5 — Horrible

*2015-05-15, version 1.0.7*

I would definitely recommend finding a different tank app. The online game is absolutely AMAZING!! Go play it! So I'm really disappointed with this app, especially considering how they vary so much. This game is just really hard to control and even if it was easier it isn't worth $2.00!! Horrible, do not download! 👎👎👎👎👎👎👎👎👎👎👎👎👎👎👎👎👎👎👎

### 1/5 — Not a good game experience

*2015-05-07, version 1.0.7*

Its not good as the tank trouble online it doesn't have beautiful UI

### 1/5 — This app needs to be fixed

*2015-03-25, version 1.0.6*

I payed for this app and no mater what i do it will not open when i click on it. It opens for a second than closes thay need to fix this problem

### 2/5 — The Computer Game Much Better

*2016-06-03, version 1.0.7*

This game is definitely not worth the 1.99 I payed for it, and is not nearly as good as the version on the computer. Also, for the two player mode, it is extremely hard to play on a regular size phone like the iPhone 5(c, s).

### 2/5 — Good but needs a lot of updates!

*2015-11-26*

The pc version is great but this needs to have a bigger area to fight in and put in the mine bombs and stuff PLEASE

### 3/5 — The laser

*2018-12-19, version 1.0.7*

PLEASE fix the laser so that it doesnt immediatly crash your game.

### 5/5 — Laser weapons crash

*2018-12-30, version 1.0.7*

I found a bug. When I move the tank over laser weapons, the app crashes.

### 5/5 — Turn off the laser in the settings

*2018-05-19, version 1.0.7*

Great experience on the go as long as the laser is turned off.

### 5/5 — Really fun

*2017-05-28, version 1.0.7*

### 5/5 — Tank.....?

*2015-11-28, version 1.0.7*

I agree with dat guy there should be a way to play with other friends, and just right now in one player, I got 102 kills, no joke

### 5/5 — Add Bluetooth multiplayer

*2015-05-27, version 1.0.7*

😋😋😋😋😋😋

### 5/5 — Can I have my money back

*2015-04-06*

I'm sorry for buying this app I didn't mean it but please can I have the money back because I want to buy another game but now I don't have no money on my bank

### 5/5 — Shrektacular

*2015-04-03, version 1.0.7*

Best game ever 11/10

### 5/5 — Amazing!

*2015-03-25, version 1.0.6*

This app is great for having fun with friends. Chase your friends through a maze and hunt them down, or wait until a power up spawns so you can demolish them. This app is great and actually, F**king hilarious! The only downsides are that it has no wifi/Bluetooth multiplayer like the old app and that there are few power ups. But other than that, great!

### 5/5 — OMGOMGOMGOMG

*2015-02-28, version 1.0.5*

BEST. APP. EVER. But I have suggestions. Online multiplayer. Load account maps. More weapons. That's it. I LOVE THIS APP SO MUCH I WANT TO MARRY IT. YOU SHOULD BE PROUD OF HOW FAR TANK TROUBLE HAS COME. I LOVE THIS GAME, AND I LOVE YOU!!!
