  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. [R15] Bomber Ace 3/5 · US Needs some bug fixes: This is a great mindless game to play, don’t have to have service to play and don’t only play against other players which is what I like. The adds could definitely chill out but the whole reason why I’m writing this is because the developers should really fix the issue of when I drop bombs on a target and then get out of range to visually see it explode, the target gets zero
  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. [R2] Bomber Ace 5/5 · US Exactly what i expected: This game popped up as an ad. I played it and enjoyed it so I downloaded it. It plays exactly as the ad played. AND THE BEST PART IS THERE ISNT AN AD UNLESS YOU WANT EXTRA STUFF. WHEN YOU DIE IN THE GAME THERE IS NO AD, It doesn’t bombard you with ads between every screen either. Very much appreciated in today’s mobile gaming world!
  6. [R20] Bomber Ace 5/5 · US Best game: This is super duper fun!
  7. [R33] Bomber Ace 3/5 · US It’s hard to use with touch screen controls.: Please allow controllers to be used. Ie: backbone
  8. [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
  9. [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.
  10. [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.
  11. [R14] Bomber Ace 5/5 · US Mayor Bug: Used to play this for a while, have tried downloading, deleting, redownloading for a good 10 times and the loading bar will never progress over about 15%, don’t loose your time
  12. [R4] Bomber Ace 1/5 · US Review: Ads after every single match😑 too irritating.
  13. [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
  14. [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.
  15. [R16] Bomber Ace 1/5 · US Too many ads: Game is ok, nothing special. After every game (~45 sec) it shows long ad… boring
  16. [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
  17. [R9] Bomber Ace 3/5 · US Glitch: Level 20 seems glitched
  18. [R72] War Thunder Mobile 3/5 · US Recommendation: Cool game and everything is fine but I do struggle to have silver lions and War Thunder has more advance features the the mobile version so I wanted to ask if we can add some stuff to the game that War Thunder has. Overall I love the game and as a kid growing up I always try to find games hyper realistic and when I started playing this game I fell in love with it because this is wh
  19. [R73] War Thunder Mobile 1/5 · US BVVD, give me back my life! How can your potato servers be so laggy and still not get fixed? There are so many bugs; the water on the map has turned into nuclear waste, textures are messed up in the sky, and the penetration indicator is also garbage. What does it mean when green bounces my shot and red penetrates? It's also missing a ton of stuff compared to the PC version. I'll be waiting until my grandchild's generation for an update. And look at the Chinese tech tree; it's a mess. There isn't even a single Tier 13 vehicle for a tech tree line. Also, with the silver lions for purchasing vehicles, I've unlocked all the lines, but only have enough money to buy one Tier 8 vehicle. If you don't fix this game soon, it's bound to die. · translated
  20. [R88] War Thunder Mobile 1/5 · US I hate gaijin: Your guys make very good vehicle paid and the grind makes me want to hang myself
  21. [R96] War Thunder Mobile 3/5 · GB Great game, shame about the economy: Can’t fault the game, a great port and so well done devs. My issue is how they seem to have taken away, without saying so, the ability to progress on tasks by watching ads. In doing this they are trying to drive people to the ludicrously expensive £18/month subscription. No thanks Gaijin.
