  1. [R6] Bomber Ace 3/5 · US Missions: This is fun until you get the nearly IMPOSSIBLE missions, like the bomber protecting has taken me SO MANY RETRIES AND I STILL HAVEN’T BEAT IT. The 1 hour wait each time sucks BUNS. FIX NOW.
  2. [R33] Bomber Ace 3/5 · US It’s hard to use with touch screen controls.: Please allow controllers to be used. Ie: backbone
  3. [R36] Bomber Ace 3/5 · GB Good game, not polished: Good game, can be addictive but it is not polished. Can’t replay missions (to get 100% points etc) Pause button just pauses the game, doesn’t allow for you to exit/restart/ change settings If you accidentally press the online player game, you can’t get out of it, have to restart the game. No tutorials for each new enemy you encounter. Progression through weapons/upgra
  4. [R39] Bomber Ace 3/5 · GB Good game: great game moderately realistic flying which is good for a game like this reason it’s not 5 stars is the lack of planes i know it’s a ww2 game but more modern or even just more older aircraft’s would add a lot more depth to the game another thing is the excessive amount is of adds.
  5. [R1] Bomber Ace 2/5 · US Fun for a while: It was fun until level 193. There’s an unbeatable glitch situation right at the beginning of that level. Now it’s literally unplayable
  6. [R3] Bomber Ace 3/5 · US Great game: Great game! Very smooth and fun to play. Should be simple enough to play offline, but the app is blocked without internet. Not good for travelling, so for me this game was useless.
  7. [R9] Bomber Ace 3/5 · US Glitch: Level 20 seems glitched
  8. [R10] Bomber Ace 1/5 · US Level 193 Glitch: Game was decent but there’s a glitch on level 193 on the front 1st bunker that doesn’t allow you to kill the bunker and hence not being able to advance.
  9. [R4] Bomber Ace 1/5 · US Review: Ads after every single match😑 too irritating.
  10. [R7] Bomber Ace 2/5 · US Wayyyy too many ads: Fun game, but there are extremely long ads after every. Single. Game. Without fail. After you finish a level, it will ask you if you want to watch an ad to double the reward. And even if you say no, it will still force you to watch an ad and just not give you any reward. And if you say yes, watch an ad to double the reward, it’ll make you watch an ad that is two minutes long w
  11. [R8] Bomber Ace 4/5 · US Awesome game: Buying no ads is definitely worth it I do have a problem though on level 20 when you destroy the rocket launchers they still shoot at you
  12. [R12] Bomber Ace 3/5 · US Possibilities are great with this game: Really fun and cool game! Way too many ads however unfortunately. Even after paying to remove “forced ads”. I’m more than willing to pay more for a fun game where I’m not bombarded by an ad every 2-3 mins.
  13. [R30] Bomber Ace 3/5 · US This game was good until the latest update. Now I’m done playing.: The ability to progress in the game depends entirely on your playing of single player. Before the latest update, you would automatically collect the “coins” earned from destroying enemies. Now, those coins need to be manually collected within a very short window of time. It makes progressing nearly impossible and it makes it seem l
  14. [R16] Bomber Ace 1/5 · US Too many ads: Game is ok, nothing special. After every game (~45 sec) it shows long ad… boring
  15. [R26] Bomber Ace 5/5 · US Enjoyable: Great simple game for the phone, free gameplay has an ad after every mission. I found that it takes about 9 seconds to shut down the game and reload for next mission rather than b wait up to 45 seconds for the ad to finish. Ads are repetitive. All in all a fun game to pass the time
  16. [R21] Bomber Ace 3/5 · US Good but..: Fun to play but opportunities to get diamonds to level up are very scarce so I find myself only picking it up every now and then when I’m bored and then losing interest fast. Coins are plentiful. Needs a better ratio.
  17. [R52] Bomber Ace 1/5 · US Pay to win: Once you unlock a new plane you have to buy all new weapons for that plane. If you don’t buy gems that would take an insanely long time. Loved the game until then.
  18. [R64] Wings of Heroes 1/5 · US Fun game, bring your wallet: Have been playing on and off for years. The game is fun but definitely have to spend real money and lots of it to upgrade planes. Developers constantly making updates which seem to be in players interest but the focus is on p2p
  19. [R67] Wings of Heroes 1/5 · US Okay: Takes too long to gain more planes. Every thing cost money if you want to progress. The recent game changes make it even more challenging to progress in the game with some planes having rarity. The rarity makes it harder to randomly get parts for the planes. The more rare the plane the more cost.
  20. [R13] Bomber Ace 1/5 · US Software development need work: First time downloading, went directly to the setting so it didn’t interrupt my music, not only the first, second, but also third time I opened and closed the app, it froze loading the setting menu.
