- [R3] Gun Simulator Fun but way to many ads: Super fun, but the amount of ads is not even funny
- [R7] Gun Simulator Too many ads: Simply too many ads too frequently.
- [R22] Gun Simulator Great but: I really think this would be better if there was less ads and infantry rifles
- [R30] Gun Simulator Good gun game: Love the game but please a bit of less adds
- [R1] Gun Simulator sucks: so it said swipe to reload and that and I did that, but once it said shake, I shake it like three times and nothing happened dude this game is like one of the worst games in the whole entire world because every time you shake it, it doesn’t even work
- [R6] Gun Simulator It o: It’s ok but I have trouble
- [R10] Gun Simulator Don’t waste your time: I’ve had some bad apps but dang dude you guys can’t make a good gun all of your life depended on it lol
- [R13] Gun Simulator It doesn’t work: This app doesn’t allow me to shoot it doesn’t work but it does work for my brother do I find it irritating
- [R9] Gun Simulator Good and bad: This game is realistic because when I shoot the iPhone light flashes but they make up random names like the ak47 was named red tiger😒
- [R27] Gun Simulator Nothing more than sounds: No animations. The slide doesn’t go back, the reload isn’t animated and you can’t actually simulate using a gun.
- [R5] Gun Simulator Actually the best one, needs changes though.: PLEASEEE add custom setting like shake sensibility and custom flash settings. Those would make this app so much better. also, give the gun sounds less reverb if you use this inside it’s a lot less realistic audio.
- [R51] iGun Pro 2 I like Igun Pro 2: It has cool guns I wanted to have and now I know many names of guns!
- [R53] iGun Pro 2 The best: The physics are realistic
- [R57] iGun Pro 2 W GAME: collect guns and shoot em very fun
- [R63] iGun Pro 2 Best gun game: This gun game is really fun and I had a blast enjoying it and you can collect rare cards or you could collect ones, but either way I would say that this game is a five star rating
- [R65] Polygun Arena Bug fixes: Fun game, very much a paid to play game. Higher skilled players will lose to someone with a big wallet in this game. You don’t have to have skills, just lots of money to win. The newest update made it even easier for people with money to win at this game. Tbh it’s frustrating as hell. Don’t waste your time downloading unless you want to spend a few grand to stay competitive.
- [R66] Polygun Arena Current version glitch: One of the best online shooter game I’ve played. Great missions, weapons and combat. Current version however has some glitch. Every day when the game resets for daily mission and rewards and once you do daily log in this glitch kicks in. Every 30 seconds four dots come in and refreshes the missions. If you complete the missions and got the rewards the same missions show up
- [R70] Polygun Arena Eh: Good game except diamonds were randomly disappearing from my account with no ways to contact anyone about it.
- [R71] Polygun Arena 👎👎👎👎: Hoooooorible game doesn’t even work j downloaded it on 2 electronic devices and it didn’t even do anything don’t wastes your time on this!!! Horrible
- [R80] iGun Pro GREAT: Very realistic and super fun to prank lol
- [R87] iGun Pro Best app of its kind extant: The only thing better would be to have links to actual videos of each firearm.
- [R88] iGun Pro Realistic: Very realistic felt awesome
- [R90] iGun Pro Very nolstagic: I used this app alot when i was a kid im glad its still around
- [R94] Gun Sounds on Shake Play with a friend: Fun app, especially if your friend has it on their phone.
- [R95] Gun Sounds on Shake good, but…: it’s good but almost all guns and features are locked behind subscription. even if you were to make the gun shake to shoot option where you can put light, medium or hard for free then it would be much more enjoyable. also, levels take 1000 sounds to level up once, which i think is way too long. i checked the achievements are only 0.7% of players have even reached level 3. finally, if y
- [R101] Gun Sounds on Shake Bad: Garbage game needs subscription for everything
- [R107] Gun Simulator 3D Stupid adds: Adds take too long. Want a free version please. It would be nice to be able to play this without adds.
- [R109] Gun Simulator 3D This game is silly: Despite being riddled with ads and bugs, this game is alright. I’m still confused, though, by the fact that every time you fire a round (after loading the entire magazine/cylinder I mind you), you must reload the entire weapon and cycle the action. I think it’s safe to say this isn’t necessary with an Ak-47, which would already have chambered a new round 😂. Confusing but laugha
- [R110] Gun Simulator 3D Bugs and malfunctions-Unplayable: I downloaded game. Played one round. Game then made me watch ad. Screen froze, would not return to game.
- [R112] Gun Simulator 3D Too many ads: There are ads after every round. I just want to play the game, not watch ads. Also, every time I earn the rifle, the game crashes.
- [R74] Polygun Arena Top Shooter Game: Cool weapons, simple layout. Not so confusing like call of duty. Glad I found this game!
- [R78] Polygun Arena Cool: Shooting game are best
- [R79] iGun Pro I want a refund: I bought all guns and didn’t get all guns
- [R81] iGun Pro Many issues: First there must be a way to earn coins otherwise this is dumb. Second, The packs are way to expensive and the cost to many coins. If you were to please go over this it will make the Game much better.
