  1. [R5] Gun Gang 5/5 · US Great game to pass the time: I have to say, that you really stepped it up since the last time I had the app on my phone. There have been numerous updates and upgrades to the game. I don’t mind the ads so much as long as it comes with a reward. Only thing I do not like is the ads that come even when you don’t want to watch them. One move thing to improve the game is maybe change up the trail. It

  8. [R8] Gun Gang 4/5 · US Game is still broken :(: I have played this game for a while and at one point there was an update that just causes the game to stop at the end of a round. It is only when I have the no ads purchase I made and I would really like to know how to fix this cause I really enjoy the game. I hope there is a fix somewhere as I would love to play again.
  9. [R4] Gun Gang 1/5 · US How many videos can they make me watch?: I didn’t think it was possible, that I’d have to watch so many videos. I can’t take it anymore. Even offline!
  10. [R14] Gun Gang 4/5 · US Nice: I don't normally write reviews, but one really bothered me! I had seen this game several times and I was trying to find for a while because it looked really fun to play! Obviously I finally found and started playing, but I have uninstalled it after less than 30 mins of play because of the ridiculous amount of ads! At the end of each level you have the option to watch an ad for more coins, bu
  11. [R19] Gun Gang 1/5 · US Horrific adds 30 seconds between games: Seriously it could be fun but the constant adds and waits of 30 seconds between games is to much. Deleted it as I couldn’t take it.
  12. [R15] Gun Gang 3/5 · US Can’t continue: I like this game a lot but now it looks like there’s a bug. At the end of the level the continue button is not there. You can only continue by exiting the game and starting it again. Fix this and the app will be 5 stars again!
  13. [R20] Gun Gang 4/5 · US Fun but now glitch plagued: On lvl 688, still playing but almost every round ends with all shooters aligned and firing off to the left with no targets and no end to the round. Loops on till I kill the game and play the level again. Very frustrating. Then, if it does end and I opt for the 5x reward, the ad glitches out near the end so I’ve wasted the ad time and get NO GOLD for the round. Even
  14. [R23] Gun Gang 4/5 · US Fun to play: I like playing this. I only have a few issues. I will be playing and all of a sudden it starts glitching and then the game will kick out.

  16. [R27] Gun Gang 3/5 · US Do not buy no ads: They take your money and still keep the ads. A scam
  17. [R63] Armed Heist 3/5 · US Close to a Masterpiece: The game itself is very fun and there are little to no glitches. I have been playing on and off since before offshore was changed into reputation and I have had a positive experience thus far. The game could be so much better if you implement these 4 things. First of all make vanity crates purchasable without gems or at the least easier to get. Gems are so much harder to g
  18. [R70] Armed Heist 1/5 · US Lagging is terrible: My WiFi and service is fine- yet it lags. I won a Co-Op and got MVP but the game froze. I didn’t get my chest reward from it either. Y’all making me mad about this game. I like playing it but why do I keep getting F’ed. That’s not okay.
  19. [R97] Armed Heist 2/5 · US Game freezing: Game will freeze every time I try to open the app, and I have already deleted it and reinstalled and i am already having the same problem. Please fix this.
  20. [R120] Armed Heist 3/5 · GB Tech issue: Hi. I really enjoy playing this game it is a fantastic game I’m in love with it. However, I have experienced a technique issue and this has happen to me twice before. I’ve been playing this game for some time now and all of a sudden the app doesn’t open and keeps loading doesn’t allow me to have access to the actual game. I’ve had to delete the app and re download from App Store. Bu
  21. [R66] Armed Heist 3/5 · US It’s a good game but it left for dead: Honestly this game has potential it really dose in a way to order to get good things you lowkey have to buy certain items with real currency the game hardly gets any updates it lowk just get repetitive I can feel like this game has so much potential really if I had the opportunity I have so many ideas lol but the main thing that honestly bothers me is the sho
  22. [R76] Armed Heist 1/5 · US Wants you to always buy: In beginning it’s fun to play, but once you’re higher lvl, if you don’t keep purchasing their packets to upgrade, they make the game harder, trying to force your to buy their upgrade packets. This is Ridiculous, greedy developers as always. Don’t bother to download loading unless you willing to always purchase their packets to upgrade.
  23. [R79] Armed Heist 1/5 · US yawn: this game is so boring once you get to level 40. you then have to pay to win and the maps stop. no new maps = repetitive cycle + harder game play and multiplayer is an absolute joke that’s full of bots, expect to be on an endless loop once you get to 40 with your winning percentage decreasing bcos you have to dump about $90 a play until you lose interest to all together and just give up!
  24. [R82] Armed Heist 2/5 · US Cost too much to upgrade gear.: Takes too long to maximize gear potential. And they kinda cheat you out of your money. When you buy a season pass! Some items in crates may be 0 ! On an item you’ve already maxed out. When they should put those points towards an item that isn’t yet max out. Very frustrating. If you play you’ll understand. 👎🏾
