  1. [R1] Bowmasters 1/5 · US Ads: Okay game but it has ads every game and the games take maybe thirty seconds.
  2. [R4] Bowmasters 1/5 · US ads: if I got a penny every time I got an add in this game I could buy the whole NBA twice. If i could get all the hours back of watching these ads i could start a new life a new job and start a family until im in a coffin.
  3. [R7] Bowmasters 1/5 · US day ruined at 2:18 am: this is honestly one of the worst experiences i’ve had in a mobile game, and btw it is nothing like it used to be, i used to play this when i was younger and it is nothing like it used to be. the second you open the app they try to get you to buy things by throwing pop ups in your face. you can’t go 3 minutes without an ad. do not waste ur time
  4. [R11] Bowmasters 4/5 · US Pretty good: Well this game is pretty cool! It’s got great abilities and cool animation. BUT! If you are under the age of like twelve then I wouldn’t play this since it’s got blood and mild gore. My only other complaint is that there are too many ads and pop ups. Those are kind of annoying
  5. [R20] Bowmasters 4/5 · US I bought remove ads years ago: I bought the remove ads years ago when the app literally just came out and now I still get a tons of Ads? Why? How do I get contacted for this issue?
  6. [R49] Bowmasters 1/5 · US Ads, ads and more long ads.: This game used to be a lot of fun, but it’s become almost unplayable because of the excessive number of long ads. What’s even more disappointing is that I paid $3.99 for the “No Ads” option, yet I’m still forced to watch lengthy advertisements while playing. That feels misleading and completely undermines the value of paying for an ad-free experience. I understand tha

  11. [R10] Bowmasters 1/5 · US Huge money scam: Installed this game thinking it would be fun, literally never got to the main menus/playable spot once loaded as there is an immediate pay wall that you can’t even play the game without paying a subscription.

  13. [R43] Bowmasters 1/5 · US Lost all of my progress: This seriously would have been a good game if it wouldn’t loose my progress after an update. I had unlocked almost every character in the game and I guess there was an update or something because I never deleted the game or bought a new phone or anything, I opened the game recently, and I saw that I had lost every character except for the starter characters. I used to have

  15. [R55] Subway Surfers 5/5 · US Idk: I love to play this game because it gets my thoughts off my mind. It also teaches you to never stop running until you reach your goals. So I recommend you to get this game because this is my new addiction.

  21. [R68] Archery Go 2/5 · US Ads don’t work: I love this game and I hardly ever review but it makes me so upset that none of the add work for extra time or shots. Also there is no way to get more lives if u want so I order to get them all back you have to wait 3 hours!
  22. [R79] Archery Clash! 1/5 · US Headshot Competition Needs to Be Fixed: “I enjoy playing the game, but the headshot competition is really frustrating. I get a lot of headshots, yet my score barely moves or doesn’t seem to count properly. It feels like I’m stuck in the same place no matter how many headshots I get, so it’s almost impossible to move up in the rankings. It makes the competition feel unfair. I hope the developers lo

  28. [R96] Drive Ahead! Fun Car Battles 1/5 · US garbage: rubbish game crazy how they turn this into a huge cash grab with having to buy a pass to get rid of ads every season sad to see the insane downfall of this game
  29. [R97] Drive Ahead! Fun Car Battles 5/5 · US Best childhood game, one thing though: I used to have this game on my iPad I was maxed out with all these cool vehicles so I love the game but In online mode, whenever I'm randomly assigned the Skid Steer Roller, my opponent disappears for the entire round. It happens every time except for one match. The match can't be played normally because I have to let them score so it continues. Great game th
  30. [R107] Archers Online 2/5 · US Now ads after playing: This game was already inundated with ads in order to get gems and coins, but now there are ads right after playing. That was the absolute worst thing to do. I’m done playing this.
  31. [R108] Archers Online 4/5 · US Would give 5 stars but….: I love the game I can play literally for hours however having played that much 3 times now I’ve been cheated out of wins…. If my opponent doesn’t shoot back 2 consecutive times then I’m the one dealt the loss so I tried to do the same thing and was still dealt the loss… what gives?!?! Things like this make me not want to play! Hopefully there’s an update coming soon
  32. [R110] Archers Online 2/5 · US Use 2 be: The game was awesome but now that I have reached the end nothing!! No new levels and those you enter weekly no new rewards, just points and shards for nothing. I guess the developers didn’t think ahead or expect anyone to reach the end. We want more!!!
  33. [R111] Archers Online 5/5 · US I am satisfied: Excellent gameplay and graphics. · translated
