  1. [R2] You Sunk 5/5 · US You Sunk: Fun,fun,fun. I never have a sinking feeling when I play this game!
  2. [R4] You Sunk 1/5 · US Sargejack95: Reload time too slow Need faster reload time
  3. [R6] You Sunk 3/5 · US was 2/5 not good frustrating … but i’ve noticed the devs always respond so 3/5: ok at first had promise and I only played it to get some money but then I realized I would have to beat 300 levels which to be fair was stated up front but would have been frustrating since the controls that weren’t too sensitive at first soon became so when the game gets harder and usually not a problem I like a chall
  4. [R9] You Sunk 3/5 · US New Update Made It Complicated…: The new update tried to improve the game, I can appreciate that. A graphics overhaul, redesigned gameplay, new ships, and new enemies. It’s not working right, though. The upgrades for the new ships are as extremely expensive as the original ship was, and coins still take far too long to farm. The redesigned torpedo shot slightly changed the all-important timing pla
  5. [R1] You Sunk 1/5 · US Powerups: Game now is attempting to force me to buy powerups. I used to play a lot without buying the powerups. I guess if I have to wait too long I will quit playing and find another game to play
  6. [R13] You Sunk 1/5 · US Another Great Game RUINED: Well, I thought it was going to be fun; however, DEVELOPER GREED has ruined another game. Before you even play the game, they’re trying to hit you up for a subscription. Every 5 seconds they are trying to squeeze nickels out of you to the point it’s not even fun. This is to be expected, -game developers won’t settle for selling their game for a one time fair price.
  7. [R24] You Sunk 3/5 · GB What could have been a gem of a game has been taken hostage of greed.: 1. From the get go, any game which has an “energy” system where you can only play a few games bet hour already looses a rating. It’s a feeble attempt at making money but ends up in me not wanting to support the company. 2. Constant micro transactions and ads. I get it - you guys need to make your bag, but you should realise tha
  8. [R34] You Sunk 2/5 · US Opinions: As you can tell, I have a few opinions about this game, some negative, some positive. Let’s start with the negatives. It is bad to shoot the friendly ships, right? Then why make them so fast and easy to hit? No sense! Next, every in game item is way too expensive! I’m not gonna slave away for a thousand gold just to get one thing! On the positive note, the game has good graphics and simp
  9. [R15] You Sunk 3/5 · US Score Not Sticking: For some reason my score keeps resetting to 0. It used to retain My last score. The coin amount is retained, but not my previous score. Please advise. Thanks.
  10. [R16] You Sunk 2/5 · US When hitting a fuel vessel when friendly ships are mot there: When I shot a normal torpedo at a fuel ship it exploded but a hospital ship sinked further away from the blast
  11. [R19] You Sunk 1/5 · US Game not working: Used to be able to play the game but now it won’t even update and I get booted from the game
  12. [R27] You Sunk 3/5 · GB Gone down-hill: This used to be gem of a game, but since the last update with the fancy explosions, it’s now developed some bugs. When you hit a large ship in the middle, it explodes and vanishes, however it now seems to be invisible. You can still see the red blip on the radar. This means you now have to hit what is in essence a cloaked ship. Also the power ups don’t continue work once activ
  13. [R12] You Sunk 3/5 · US Fun but seems orphaned: Plays ok but simple things like creating a user name seem unsupported presently
  14. [R18] You Sunk 3/5 · US Landscape mode: Not being able to play in Landscape mode is frustrating. In landscape mode would allow a wider screen and easier operation. Note: I tried the App Support button; that that link only links to show games.
  15. [R21] You Sunk 3/5 · US Game’s fun but needs sprucing up: It’s gotten boring just same old; No improvements. Would like to see: * points for neutralizing enemy torpedos. * xtra points for sinking red attacking ships * please get rid of... notices like “quad kill”, “not so smart”, etc, - these block your view at critical seconds.
  16. [R62] Modern Warships 5/5 · US Great game: The game is very good! Modern ships, helicopters, aircraft’s….amazing!!! Thank you dear developers. Please don’t stop and continue to support this game many thanks in advance
  17. [R74] Modern Warships 5/5 · US Quality: The game is really good I played it for a good hour and I already got to level ten just 6 more levels away from level 16 so I can do air combat and I love the quality it’s real good try the game!!!❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
  18. [R80] Modern Warships 5/5 · US Good game: Very realalistick
  19. [R36] You Sunk 1/5 · US Updates ruined it: It was a fun little game of shooting torpedoes at ships but a recent "upgrade" makes it difficult to play unless you buy more coins to keep your weapons available. I'm deleting it now.
  20. [R37] You Sunk 5/5 · US Latest Update: With your latest update on July 31st to fix the “crashing” problem DID NOT work. It still crashes on opening. Please send another fix. Thank you, Dave
  21. [R47] You Sunk 5/5 · US This was my favorite iPhone game BUT: ...it no longer opens on my iPhone having gotten the latest system updates. I've tried deleting it and reloading and it still doesn't even start up. Could you please fix - if it's an issue on your end - because I miss my favorite game! It's one of the best sub games ever. Or is there something I need to do? Thanks!
  22. [R61] Modern Warships 1/5 · US Disappointing overall: The app takes forever to load, and that’s with a new iPhone on fast WiFi. Don’t waste your time or data - avoid subpar apps like this.
