## What is Weaphones?

Welcome to the world of Weaphones, the ultimate firearms simulator for your iPhone, iPod and iPad.

Blurring the line between digital and physical, Weaphones combines the two to create a fully interactive real world experience. Switch off the safety, load the magazine, rack the slide and fire, all without having the cops called on you.

Ergonomically designed, Weaphones fit naturally into the shooter’s hand. All the important controls are located within a finger’s reach. The ability to resize, flip, zoom and relocate the Weaphone assures perfect fit no matter the size of hand or screen.

For the price of a couple of 5.56mm rounds you can have a full arsenal of Weaphones… and you won’t shoot your eye out.

### 2/5 — Accurate Sim with no real purpose

*2026-07-28*

Other than sounding and having the user going through the actions of reloading there's no real purpose to it. What do you do after you had your fun pretending....the WWII version was a little cooler because they were older items....but that app isnt available to try anymore nor is does it serve any greater purpose than this one.

### 5/5 — This game is amazing

*2026-02-28, version 2.3.1*

It helps me with my marksmanship team every weekend with cadets I totally approve anyone playing this , mostly using the sniper rifle

### 1/5 — Paid for this game just for it not to work

*2026-01-04, version 2.3.1*

Would rate zero stars if i could as soon as i open the game it freezes

### 5/5 — Cool game

*2025-12-24*

I enjoyed the simulation of this game and also the mini games that some guns have.
You should add more mini games.

### 5/5 — Please add more it has been 8 years since

*2024-09-20*

Add more it is all the same every day and every year add more please 🥹

### 5/5 — I love guns and I love this game

*2024-08-25*

First of all, I’m gonna talk about the good things of this game1. Bro, who came up with this idea so good?2. my favorite gun is the RPG and now we’ll talk about the bad things1. sometimes it freezes up2. Sometimes it won’t let me reload and also now I want to talk about the things that I want them to put in the game I want to be able to make your own guns in there should be skins bye-bye whoever is the best person to exist

### 1/5 — Still no fix

*2024-06-10*

So-

A year ago someone mentioned how all the buttons that make the app actually function have stopped working, all but the social links.

When you click to choose a weapon, it takes you to a blank screen.

I payed for this app because of my love for weaponry but I can’t even use it. Devs, please read these, I know you last updated it 8 years ago, but people still use this for Christ sake.

Please fix this. Its technically fraud if you make us pay for something that you promise worked, and it doesn’t work-

### 1/5 — Doesn’t work

*2024-06-03, version 2.3.1*

App pretty much never works. Always freezes when trying to use, I deleted and redownloaded the app. Still freezes. I paid money for this, was a great app but won’t recommend.

### 5/5 — 👍🏻

*2024-05-26*

крутая игрушка)

### 4/5 — Very good, but some things could be changed

*2023-08-26, version 2.3.1*

This game is very detailed and good, with in-depth controls and mechanics like weapon jamming and overheating. For £2.99 it is a very worthwhile game to have. However, some things I think would improve the game is more shotguns and snipers, as there’s a lot of pistols and rifles, but only 1 shotgun and 1 sniper. However, there are 2 shotguns in volume 2 so if you want more then you could buy that game seperately for another £2.99. Another thing that could be changed is weapon customisation, specifically changing the colour and camos of guns. There is one customisable pistol and one customisable P90 that you can change the general weapons colour with. I feel like camo options could easily be implemented to some of the rifles, and it would be very cool if there was a ghillie wrap option for the sniper rifle. These are just minor problems though, and the overall game is very worthwhile and quite realistic.
