  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. [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
  3. [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.
  4. [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
  5. [R14] WW2 Warplane Fighter Bomber 4/5 · US Why: Why are there helicopters in World War II?
  6. [R33] WW2 Warplane Fighter Bomber 3/5 · GB Helicopters: Would be a good game if helicopters were taken out... hovering kamikaze ruins the fun
  7. [R45] WW2 Warplane Fighter Bomber 4/5 · US ONLY 1 LEVEL: The game is really fun, and the graphics are AMAZING!! But the game only has 1 level and I would like to have multiple levels
  8. [R58] WW2 Warplane Fighter Bomber 1/5 · GB ITS A 5 STAR GAME WUTH A 1 STAR PROBLEM: this game would be absolutely amazing IF I WAS RIGHT HANDED!!!!!!! This game is pretty much useless if you're left-handed, and there's no option to move everything over to the other side please seriously consider this because then you'll have a lot more customers and the game looks amazing
  9. [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.
  10. [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
  11. [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
  12. [R16] WW2 Warplane Fighter Bomber 1/5 · US No settings: you can't change controls, and there are absolutely no settings besides sound. You can't even pause during combat. · translated
  13. [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.
  14. [R30] WW2 Warplane Fighter Bomber 3/5 · US Great: Game is cool and everything but it could use more variety for those without premium, also needs to change enemy planes and helicopters crashing into you as a strategy, maybe give them missiles or something to keep them effective
  15. [R38] WW2 Warplane Fighter Bomber 5/5 · US Do love it but the JU87: The ju87 Stuka doesn’t make its dive bomb noise when I dive bomb and can you add the B-29 and Northrop b-2 spirit
  16. [R12] WW2 Warplane Fighter Bomber 3/5 · US Adds: Too many adds and to hard to level up
  17. [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.
  18. [R29] WW2 Warplane Fighter Bomber 5/5 · US Perfect: Everything I wanted in a causal game. Reminds me of a game from my childhood on the Mac. It is difficult to be good in this game but then I realized the PURCHASE, (not subscription!) was only $4. This made it an easy buy and opened a lot of other planes. Really like this game and want more like it.
  19. [R34] WW2 Warplane Fighter Bomber 2/5 · US Problems.: So I recently bought premium got all of the cool planes, but with the really big plane its too hard to actually get past the enemy planes and helicopters, maybe have an ai settings or something because the game is impossible to actually get a good score in. Please update this or i will be refunding my purchase
  20. [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?
  21. [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, 🤌 ❤️
  22. [R40] WW2 Warplane Fighter Bomber 1/5 · US Does not work: Doesnt work
  23. [R46] WW2 Warplane Fighter Bomber 2/5 · US Wth: I don’t understand why the game randomly restarts when my plane is full health and no enemies have reached the city
  24. [R63] Armed Air Forces 3/5 · US Lease have there be more free planes: This game is pretty fun, but the thing that bothers me is that there is only four free planes. I mean, I get that you have to make money somehow, but can you at least let there be more than four free planes?
  25. [R70] Armed Air Forces 1/5 · US Horrible: They only give you four planes and you can’t earn the planes you have to actually buy them would not recommend
  26. [R76] Armed Air Forces 1/5 · US Costs: All the good planes cost money, the game should make some more available for free, you would retain more costumers that way
  27. [R77] Armed Air Forces 5/5 · US best game: Really good game if had to like 2 or 3 years now but my question is would it be to much if you tried to make it like multiplayer so that we could play with 1 other person
  28. [R80] Armed Air Forces 5/5 · US Fantastic: This game is really great and has really high potential imo if online was added the game would be be the best
  29. [R84] Armed Air Forces 3/5 · US Its pretty solid: The only complaints I have are 1: controls feel messy, and the joystick is practically unusable 2: the 4 free aircraft dont provide much variety, and $2 per airplane is way too expensive, especially for something that doesnt even have multiplayer 3: doesnt have that much customization for the UI and is very limiting i hope the developer can find some things here important and
