  1. [R5] Uboat Attack 4/5 · US Long time player: It’s a pretty good app with over 8500 wins but the game has glitches and won’t let you watch the video as payment quite a bit lately and can get repetitive on the number of scenarios that you can play
  2. [R8] Uboat Attack 5/5 · US What happened to race for glory and sharpshooter games?: I loved the race for glory and sharpshooter games but they have been absent for about a week? I hate defend the fleet and will not play it. If the race and sharpshooter games don’t come back I will not be playing this game. 6/25/26 this is an update. This game has improved greatly. I can now avoid “defend the fleet” and continue playing. T
  3. [R12] Uboat Attack 3/5 · US Not bad: It’s nothing like the old Solo Warship Age but it’s ok compaired to the ones who require you build a whole fleet
  4. [R15] Uboat Attack 3/5 · US Ports never end: I am now at close to 300% on ports . When does it end. I started skipping building them because it passed 200% and kept going. Now I have users with power levels of 56% beating me and I have over twice power levels. Also if you check the rating you see many in the millions which is not possible.
  5. [R6] Uboat Attack 3/5 · US Fix the Ads: Have been playing this game for quite a while and yes, though rewards have changed and the ads become more frequent and longer I’m willing to put up with that in order to play for free. What’s happening now is ads that run do not end or are framed in a way that you’re unable to find the X logo to close the ad. You can’t rotate the game as it plays in landscape so the only option is t
  6. [R7] Uboat Attack 2/5 · US Level 24 6: When I get to this level, this game became no fun hard to win at that level. No chance too many people shooting at you. Don’t waste the time downloading this game. You’ll get frustrated. Can’t dive your submarine to get out of trouble.
  7. [R9] Uboat Attack 3/5 · US I wish it we’re better: I really like the game but unfortunately it cuts out in the middle of game play, not just once in a while, every single time you play, it cuts out and you have to start over. It’s impossible to play in competition. I’m beginning to think it’s set up this way to make you watch ads repeatedly so they earn money on your wasted time.😡
  8. [R4] Uboat Attack 1/5 · US Ad free is a lie don’t waste your money: Gameplay is repetative and if there are that many ads in the first rounds it’s going to only get worse, purchasing ad free for $6 did nothing to diminish the ads. 0 stars would not recommend, scammy.
  9. [R1] Uboat Attack 2/5 · US Eh. . .: WAY TOO MANY ADDS FOR ADVANCEMENTS
  10. [R3] Uboat Attack 3/5 · US Boat Attack: Too many ads and too difficult to get rid of them
  11. [R55] Uboat Attack 2/5 · US Game crashes/restarts: I’m removing app after the third time screen goes to what looks like total fog then restarts loosing all gains and starts me as new player. I’ve contacted support, no response. Flushed 👎
  12. [R69] Uboat 1/5 · US Greenland?: Seriously what is wrong with the devs? Is this really an appropriate time to have “I can’t invade Greenland”? Please tell me what I’m missing here. Edit: Devs tried reaching out to say that I was wrong. I’ve got screenshots that say differently. I’m guessing that they’ve already fixed it, but it was originally posted, therefore a disgusting approach to a new yet failing game.
  13. [R18] Uboat Attack 3/5 · US AD Free Version does not stop ads!: The game is fun and graphics are good, but paying $5.99 for the ad-free version does not stop ads! They are riduculously long videos and no way to close them out.
  14. [R42] Uboat Attack 3/5 · US Great game, but ads didn’t go away after purchase: I really enjoy this game - it’s fun and well-made. However, I made an in-app purchase because it says any purchase removes ads, but they’re still showing. I restarted, reinstalled, and logged back in, but nothing changed. I like the game and want to support it, but this feels misleading. Please fix this issue or clarify how to remove the ads.
  15. [R20] Uboat Attack 5/5 · US The state of the game: This is an entertaining game that I have spent many hours playing The only criticism I have is the game doesn't really evolve after a certain point The enemy really becomes predictable and you can lose interest
  16. [R40] Uboat Attack 2/5 · US Decent game.: It’s a ok game. At 1st it’s a pretty fun game however it goes down hill fast. Lots of ads. And you play the same levels over and over. It’d be nice for some updates to play new content.
  17. [R67] Uboat 2/5 · US Same thing over and over: Same thing over and over and over and over and over and over again
  18. [R25] Uboat Attack 1/5 · US Waste of time: Points disappear, ridiculous Amount of ads, ads don’t even run right and crash the game..don’t waste time with this one.
  19. [R43] Uboat Attack 2/5 · US Lost my game: Lost my complete game after months of watching commercials to play and get somewhere in the game. Opened my phone to play one day and the game reset to a beginner stage and not with my name.
  20. [R49] Uboat Attack 2/5 · US Game started over.: Played the game for months. Last time a day or two ago. Now it shows a new game like the first time playing. All my game money gone. What happened.
