  1. [R1] WW2 Warplane Fighter Bomber 1/5 · US Pros and cons of: There is only 2 reasons I don’t like this game but the rest is great. 1, I wish there was a ad I could watch to revive and continue playing when I die. 2, the ai planes try crashing into you which is pretty irritating if you want to successfully achieve a high score.
  2. [R3] WW2 Warplane Fighter Bomber 3/5 · US Just make them shoot: The game would be better without the kamikaze planes or the helicopters that spawn directly in front of you.
  3. [R4] WW2 Warplane Fighter Bomber 1/5 · US Bad game: Your game sucks every time a plane appears it turns into Kamikazee. It will literally ran into you for no reason you could be a real life pilot and it’s still not loose cause these these AI suck fix your AI
  4. [R6] WW2 Warplane Fighter Bomber 3/5 · US Stop it with the helicopters!: Great game I really like it, but all the other planes try to kamikaze crash into you. And because the camera is so zoomed in and non adjustable (why?) you never see them coming it's especially bad with the helicopters which hover just off screen above you so if you pull up to do a tight loop it seems like it spawns in an inescapable sacrifice maneuver.
  5. [R2] WW2 Warplane Fighter Bomber 4/5 · US 👍: GREAT GAME don’t get me wrong but I hate how if I accidentally pause it it restarts and I don’t really like the fact there’s a boundary And I’d like there to be more settings/game modes like maybe one that you start with max bombshell and everything just starts coming at you, or maybe some missions of sorts. Again great game just could use some tweaks
  6. [R7] WW2 Warplane Fighter Bomber 2/5 · US It’s ok at best: I would love to meet the moron that worked on this game and programmed the enemy planes just to run into you. Fun game but terribly inconsistent on what upgrades show up and the control button is in a horrible spot. Your thumb covers all incoming enemies while steering. Fun game but made by people with little common sense
  7. [R10] WW2 Warplane Fighter Bomber 1/5 · US Could’ve been one of the best games on the AppStore: With one major flaw and no way to fix it I deleted the game within my first 5 minutes of playing. My plane controlling finger is in the way of everything I need to see. So with no way to see what was to come the game was in my opinion, unplayable. Good luck
  8. [R9] WW2 Warplane Fighter Bomber 3/5 · US Can not save progress?: Hello, I can not save my progress, the game takes time to load and then informs me it will not save my progress? Is it being worked on?
  9. [R12] WW2 Warplane Fighter Bomber 3/5 · US Adds: Too many adds and to hard to level up
  10. [R15] WW2 Warplane Fighter Bomber 3/5 · US SUICIDE PLANES: ITS IMPOSSIBLE TO PLAY WITH THE SLOW PAID PLANE, enemy planes literally kamikaze to you. Its ridiculous, fix this, or give me my money back.
  11. [R28] WW2 Warplane Fighter Bomber 2/5 · US Bad-ish: One bug please let the score add up so people can get planes more easily
  12. [R23] WW2 Warplane Fighter Bomber 4/5 · US One teeny bug: I love this game. It’s my favorite, BUT I can’t change my name! Every time I try the interface freezes and won’t stop loading. I have to swipe out and reset the app. I’ve hit multiple leaderboard high scores, but I have a default name! So annoying! - otherwise, 🤌 ❤️
  13. [R40] WW2 Warplane Fighter Bomber 1/5 · US Does not work: Doesnt work
  14. [R11] WW2 Warplane Fighter Bomber 5/5 · US It’s pretty good.: I’ve been playing this for days, it’s a challenge but a fun one you can overcome. The repetitive gameplay can be annoying but it offers diversity in planes and enemy’s making it more rewarding to survive.
  15. [R13] WW2 Warplane Fighter Bomber 1/5 · US Tired of the suicide planes.: WW2 helicopters huh! Really can’t stand that the plane and helicopter are just suicide aircraft. 100% of the deaths are to them. They come from the sides so fast you can’t dodge.
  16. [R14] WW2 Warplane Fighter Bomber 4/5 · US Why: Why are there helicopters in World War II?
  17. [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
  18. [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.
  19. [R79] Wings of Heroes 1/5 · US Too money hungry: The game used to be fun but now the developers make it impossible to compete without constantly spending. Even if you spend you have no control over what parts you get and wind up constantly getting parts you don’t want or need. They say you can sell back unused parts for about 1/4 of their worth and even then you usually wind up with more parts you don’t need
  20. [R85] Wings of Heroes 1/5 · US Used to be good: The game had some updates in Spring of 2026 and now it’s nearly impossible to upgrade planes without paying a fortune. Rewards have also been decreased so grinding it out is very challenging. My playing of the game has plummeted and will probably only be played occasionally.
  21. [R81] Wings of Heroes 3/5 · US Awesome graphics and sound: Expensive!!!
  22. [R105] Wings of Heroes 3/5 · GB Read this: After the last update, it’s hard to progress but further updates have eased things a little. Good game, smooth graphics. Shame we don’t have French aircraft!
