  1. [R3] Modern Combat 5 3/5 · US Smh: Finally a game with a good story line and not just battle modes…but please include the auto aim feature,if that happens,then call of duty is going to start hating,the aiming is terrible,which is why I uninstalled,it’s not that hard,come on now
  2. [R25] Modern Combat 5 2/5 · US Too many ads. Only campaign worth it.: The only thing this has in comparison to COD mobile is campaign mode. Otherwise… it shoves ads down your throat, graphics are old school (which is fine but it’s glitchy… its 2026), and you can’t customize where the controls are (this is something even racing games had 10 years ago). I only gave 2 stars bc most combat games don’t have a campaign mode and I app
  3. [R62] Call of Duty® 5/5 · US I really enjoy this game.: I’ve been gaming since 88’ but for whatever reason my eye-to-hand-to-thumb-to-analog controls “skills” have hardly ever won many multiplayer matches. Then I started playing Call of Duty Mobile. With this digital thumb stick option, on my iOS device. I like that I can actually get top 3 now, every almost every match(90%)😁 & I’m really enjoying ranked for the first time ev
  4. [R68] Call of Duty® 5/5 · US 2014: I love CODM. I’ve been playing since COD: Heroes was out! I was sad when it was announced when it would no longer be available. Whenever I feel like I need to let my emotions out, I play this game every time. 🫶🏼 Gamer girl xo
  5. [R12] Modern Combat 5 3/5 · US Too many ads: The game is good but ads pop up every few mins. Can’t enjoy the game at all. Waste of time and space.
  6. [R43] Modern Combat 5 2/5 · US Full of adds: The app was amazing but with the latest update an add pops up after each game and the worst thing yet even that has an X to close the add, the add still there with no way to continue with the game. I paid for the app. Why I have to watch adds and now I’m not able to play without having to re open the app after each match. Sad because the game was really good. But if this is not fix I
  7. [R70] Call of Duty® 2/5 · US Lagging: Whatever update happened, everything is lagging.
  8. [R75] Call of Duty® 3/5 · US Lagging: Idk about anyone else but this game is amazing . But for some reason the newest update has everyone lagging and screen buffering pls fix this . You can’t even select anything without it saying please wait . Also I’ve never had this problem before . Other than that 5 stars
  9. [R4] Modern Combat 5 2/5 · US Server error: Why does every time the game keep having server issues. Can’t play up to 3 matches keep disconnecting from servers why fix it. It’s annoying and make the game tiring
  10. [R10] Modern Combat 5 1/5 · US MC5 dissapointed I lag alot n there’s hackers: Nothing but Hackers n cheaters
  11. [R91] Call of Duty® 1/5 · US Update problems: Yeah, since I got my last update, my game locked up about three or four times during a match. Never had a problem until this last update A perfectly good game has been trashed
  12. [R118] Call of Duty® 1/5 · US Too many crashing bugs in JUNE 2026 update: The update is filled with crashing and hanging update, while playing it will freeze and no move until you close the app and restart.. before recommending to delete and reinstall, I have done that twice and I’m playing with a iOS 17 iPad so it’s the game and I won’t be returning until I’m sure a patch update is released.
  13. [R40] Modern Combat 5 1/5 · US Pay to win: Your guns will literally do No damage if you don’t buy any
  14. [R73] Call of Duty® 1/5 · US It’s the worst app: It’s honestly a bad game, like yes once you play it for the first time you’ll like it, but once you get to certain level it’s not fun at all, it’s the same thing over and over and all the perks and bad guns you get, and then you have to spend a ridiculous amount of money and especially if your a young teen, if you want to feel constant stress and just frustration then this game
  15. [R117] Call of Duty® 3/5 · GB The game is not bad: Pubg is still better than call of duty and call of duty is far more expensive compared to pubg…. Call of duty is greedy, you win if you pay…
  16. [R106] Call of Duty® 1/5 · US Rigged: Game is great but definitely it benefits the high spenders with giving them advantages during ranked matches.
  17. [R7] Modern Combat 5 1/5 · US No help: I use to play this game but I was banned for no reason , can’t even get customer support and I spent money on this game . What a let down
  18. [R115] Call of Duty® 1/5 · US Scamming game NO support.: Failure to give heat points after deducting CP spent. My friend spent $100s worth of CP for the collab event and did not receive the promised heat points/rewards. She contacted support but they use AI chatbots with automatic messages and did not receive any compensation.
  19. [R82] Call of Duty® 1/5 · US Punished for using controller: For the first time, I decided to struggle my way through ranked so I could unlock the construct rewards obtainable at legendary rank. Little did I know my hours and hours of effort would be wasted. Why? Because once you reach grandmaster rank the game refuses to load you into matches at all. This is because it can’t find other people at similar rank on controller. It
  20. [R114] Call of Duty® 3/5 · GB Make the matchs fair: Good game but poor matchmaking, every time i get into a match I’m stuck with the most npc newbies ever and i genuinely have to carry my team and of course its not a problem if it occurs a couple of times but it happens in every match and obviously I’m not talking about a full npc/ai match, I’m talking about a real match, i would be blaming the players for not being good at t
  21. [R8] Modern Combat 5 4/5 · US Childhood game: I loved this game as a kid I’d play it on any phone I could get my little hands on the story is just epic couldn’t tell you how many times I’ve replayed it. Graphics are pretty bunz considering it’s 2026 tho
  22. [R39] Modern Combat 5 3/5 · US Video games: This graphic is of high caliber,no lag time the plays are smooth like Xbox or PlayStation.
  23. [R90] Call of Duty® 3/5 · GB It used to be good: Been too commercialised, with no actual way to earn the ‘better’ weapons unless you pay. And don’t get me started on the number of times I’ve shot people in the head/chest to no effect, but a single punch from the ‘gloves’ or some stick means you die … Or, you’re not even being aimed at, but the bullets still find you anyway - even through walls. The game has become a bit of a
