### 1/5 — Never again

*2026-01-04, version 1.0.14*

I literally downloaded this game, loved the look ready to dive in. Instructions on the enigma were so unclear I couldn’t play the game. Spent an hour looking stuff up, nothing. Just deleted and moved on

### 3/5 — App is zoomed

*2025-03-31, version 1.0.14*

The app is incorrectly formatted for any iPad. Doesn’t matter which version iPad, new iPad Pro 11 or the older iPad 9 and new iPad Air. All three the app is not fit to the screen and it is missing the right and left sides of the screen. Reading anything is almost impossible as the words are all cut off on both sides of the screen.  Fix this and then I can update my review. Until then, this app is useless on an iPad.

### 1/5 — Game in unplayable

*2024-11-16, version 1.0.14*

Can’t even fire a torpedo

Even looked online to make sure I was doing it right

### 3/5 — Decoding although good

*2024-10-29, version 1.0.14*

No clue how to find the enigma code sheet, need more help on that but everything else is pretty cool and also why is it a board game that costs 90 quid just make it a normal game you will get more money that way

### 4/5 — Decoding although good

*2024-10-23*

No clue how to find the enigma code sheet, need more help on that but everything else is pretty cool

### 5/5 — very realistic i'm surprised but 1 problem

*2024-09-16, version 1.0.14*

i love the game and all but i can't seem to find any cargo ships or destroyers or even planes all i hear is my guns turning my ship turning the water waves and nothing else so please make it easier but other than that SO FUN SO REAL LOVE THE GERMAN VOICES also is this game based off of "DAS BOOT"? the submarine from 1942? 🤩🤩🤩🤩🤯🤯🤯🤯 took me half of my day to find 1 aircraft and i didn't even hit it. 😢😭☹️ also i don't know why but i can't be sunk? i was hit multiple times and other players have sunk but mine refuses. 🤕🤕🤕🤕😆😆😆

### 1/5 — Screen Cutoff on iPad

*2024-07-20, version 1.0.14*

Incomplete screen on iPad, can’t really use it.

### 3/5 — Zoomed in

*2024-04-21, version 1.0.14*

App is zoomed in cutting off half the screen on my iPad. Seems like a bug they did not develop for different iPads or update it to work. I have an older iPad and a newer one and it does the same thing on both.

### 2/5 — Does not display correctly

*2024-03-17, version 1.0.14*

The app does not open and display correctly on iPads of 12.9 size. The left and right hand sides are cut off so significantly that I cannot read what the cut off buttons say.

### 3/5 — Great but needs 1 major feature.

*2023-12-14, version 1.0.14*

As this is on a device, it needs a map. When I find a convoy/ship on the hydrophone, I can’t get to the convoy. This game atleast needs a map to get 5 stars. Also the scarcity of ships is… rare. Please fix these and you ge t 5 stars.
