### 1/5 — Unable to connect to multiplayer game

*2025-10-22, version 1.6.2*

iPhone. Sad.

### 5/5 — Super jeux

*2023-07-28, version 1.6.2*

J’espère que l’application restera longtemps, car beaucoup de jeux de société ne sont plus utilisables faute d’application supprimer. 😓

### 5/5 — Super aventure

*2022-07-20, version 1.6.1*

Malgré que les combats sont assez dur à déclencher au vu de la très grande map , au final les objectifs sont très bien amené et les rares combats souvent décisifs
Je recommande vraiment ce jeu 
Le mode ou chaqu’un a son propre téléphone comme navire est juste incroyablement fluide 
Ce jeu mérite vraiment plus de visibilité

### 1/5 — Worthless App

*2021-04-09, version 1.6.1*

App constantly crashes when using multiple phones. Haven’t been able to get it to work even once.

### 1/5 — Attention app developer!

*2019-09-25, version 1.5.4*

It’s been 2 years since the iPhone X came out and there is no support for “bezel-less” phones. I would thing this would make the game more immersive and seamless. I have a XS Max and I’d say about a third of the screen is just blank area. The image is smaller than the board. It could obviously be blown up to full screen and still work. I see reviews from a year ago addressing this problem and nothing has been done about it. Amazing concept. I will immediately give 5 stars if the app is updated.

### 3/5 — Super Spiel leider kein Support von iPhone X oder höher.

*2018-10-16, version 1.5.2*

Das die Kombination aus Brettspiel und Smartphone sind super. Leider sind es ein paar wenige Mission so das man das Gefühl hat das alle bekannt sind. 

Leider wird bei iPhone X und neue die Auflösung nicht unterstützt und es sind schwarze Ränder so das es auf den Handys nicht sehr gut passt wenn dieses auf dem Fled liegt. Das wäre super das mal
anzupassen für den Spiele Genuss.

Auch eine Editor zum erstellen von neuen Missionen wäre ziemlich cool zu haben vielleicht macht das ja ein bisschen mehr mögliche.

### 4/5 — Une équipe à l’écoute

*2018-05-27, version 1.5.2*

Le jeu est sympa. Je trouve que l’équipe a su prendre en compte les retours sur la v1 (qui était passable). Pour en faire un jeu plus profond. Quelques améliorations seraient encore les bienvenues pour que le jeu trouve son publique. Il se situe actuellement dans une gamme « famille » avec un intérêt surtout entre 10 et 14 ans. (Or il est noté à partir de 14 ans...). Mais tout de même chapeau bas car depuis la mise à jour avec de nouveaux éléments c’est tout de même beaucoup mieux.

### 4/5 — Quelques modifications à apporter

*2018-04-09, version 1.5.2*

Super jeux, bien réalisé et pensé seul bémol rencontrais, il n'y a pas assez de phase de combat car la carte est trop grande pour le nombre de joueurs. Sur 2 partie jouées, seulement 3 combats on étais réalisés car les bateaux me se rencontrent pas assez souvent. Serait il pas possible d'ajouter des joueurs en plus? Je pense que à 6 joueurs le jeux serait encore plus intéressant.

### 4/5 — Excellent mais SVP ajouter un 5eme joueur

*2018-03-31, version 1.5.2*

Pourriez vous ajouter un 5eme joueur via une mise a jour de l’application.

### 3/5 — Please add iPhone X support

*2018-03-14, version 1.5.2*

Hello, so far the app has been great but we would love an update to address the screen size of the iPhone X not being supported. The app currently not only does not utilizes the room on the right and left of the screen but it is also noticeably smaller leaving an unused gap at the bottom of the display as well.
