  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
  2. [R11] Gun Gang 5/5 · US Gun game: Really fun really addictive i love you will to
  3. [R39] Gun Gang 3/5 · US Make levels tougher: Great and fun. I’m at level 450 with all the guns and it’s really easy now. I’m trying to get to the end with one guy and that is difficult. Make levels tougher.
  4. [R44] Gun Gang 5/5 · US Fun: Great fun
  5. [R7] Gun Gang 1/5 · US I don’t know if it’s a glitch or lag but it is bad: I can’t even make it past the first level because it always crashes and takes me back to my home page it is so annoying and it doesn’t work at all
  6. [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.
  7. [R9] Gun Gang 3/5 · US Fun game: This is a really fun game to play, but the repeated crashes are extremely frustrating
  8. [R12] Gun Gang 3/5 · US Not enough options.: Crashes and freezes on gift screen.
  9. [R1] Gun Gang 1/5 · US Ripoff: Spent a ton of money to eliminate ads and get better weapons and was given virtually nothing. Complete garbage don’t waste your time.
  10. [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!
  11. [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!
  12. [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. Also wish there weren’t so many ads. I understand you need ads but why so many. I hope the glitches can be fixed so I can kept playing.
  13. [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.
  14. [R25] Gun Gang 1/5 · US Too many ads: The amount of ads you have to view in this game is atrocious. Terrible
  15. [R60] Gun Gang 3/5 · GB Adverts adverts adverts!!!: This game seems like it would be quite addictive but you spend more time watching the adverts every few seconds you don’t get time to actually enjoy the game. I think my patience ran out after about 10 minutes!
  16. [R26] Gun Gang 4/5 · US What in the actual: Paid for no ads and still have ads. This game is trash.
  17. [R27] Gun Gang 3/5 · US Do not buy no ads: They take your money and still keep the ads. A scam
  18. [R34] Gun Gang 1/5 · US The game is on but the devs are chiselers: This review is more about the paid option. So when I start playing the free version of the game before I decide to go ad freeIt was impossible to click on the ads to get any gifts or game prizes.After paying for the “no ads” I could all of a sudden watch ads to get gifts and weapons upgrades. DONT BUY Apple should look into this dev over this behavior sin
