Runs out of fun fast
Why collect coins if you can upgrade gear. Game is very obviously pay based.
Abandoned game
There’s literally no point to having coins at all. You can only unlock new stuff by subscribing to VIP
It sucks
U los a battery when you get 0 stars and if you los 3 you have to wait an hour
Wind problems
They shouldn’t have added wind to this game at such a big problem!!!!
Pay to play

L game
P2w there nothing good this is the worst game ever
Have to go premium to upgrade equipment
I get you want to make money and there should be premium items but why can’t I use in game currency to upgrade my bow,arrows and scope? Delete
Do not pay!!
I tried the VIP and it’s a rip off….. I didn’t get the daily vip reward nor am I able to select different arrows or sights. I want a refund. This APP should be BANNED AND REMOVED from Apple store!!!!!
Rigged Game unless You Pay
In tie shoot offs, the opponent wins 100% of the time if you do not pay $. Your opponent’s arrow can be far from dead-center, but he will still score a perfect 0.0 bullseye. Statistically impossible for 100% of opponents to score perfect bullseye 100% of the time over hundreds of games unless the game is rigged. I have earned 128 million points, but I have lost 100% of the tie breakers..
Frustrating
You know you are going to hit the target and it says MISS. No way!!! You are in a playoff and your opponent always gets 0.00. No way!!! You lose. You lost me as a user. Bye-bye.
Cool game but……
What’s the point of collecting coins when you can’t use them to upgrade your bow, arrows or sight. They want you to pay for a monthly or yearly subscription. No thanks.
Rip off!
This game is nothing but a cheap cash grab! You can’t get any new bows or arrows with having VIP status. Once you pay REAL MONEY to get said status, it will not let you claim it. It says abnormal network. It sends you to a contact us tab that just sends you in circles. You can’t even contact game support to ask where you money is!! Developers like this should be banned from the whole web!!! Do yourself a favor and NEVER DOWNLOAD THIS GAME!
Meh
Well I paid for the no ad’s yay but now I can’t spin the wheel and after I lose at a match I can’t add 2 more Arrows or time or watch a video to add more time or arrows I’ve had the game for 2 weeks I’m at LV. 50 for both classic n adventure mode and it’s kinda like is this all I can do? I can’t buy new arrows or bows or sights? I have like half a mill coins? What’s the point and what’s the point of the purple gems they do nothing.. I work up one day and had like 26 lives no clue where that’s came from?? But thanks but it would be cool to be able to buy new arrows or a new bow or sight?!!! Other wise this game is boring now n dumb… there is nothing to do more and the weekly open up box thing is all I look forward too now hoping I get a better sight is all I care for now….
Sorta fun for a rip off
$2.99 for “no ads” but they still have popups for their “VIP” that they charge $19.99 a month or $99.99 a year for and its the only way i see so far to get any other bows, bow sights or arrows. Just typical greed and no care for customers.
Fix
The game is fun but you can’t buy anything or play the mini game also when you need more arrows it don’t load at the end of the match
Update your app it’s 2023
I hate that you have to pay 19.99$ a month it 99.99 a year to be able to upgrade your bow.
Y’all should update your game and make it obtainable to upgrade your weapon of choose by earning and beating the levels.
2) you can’t even play mini games
3) all you can do is the little whack missions, go face to face with random people. That’s it… no cool skins, no cool characters.
The characters are all people that hate their lives and graduated from some top end university.
Losers….

Watch out for in app purchase!
My nephew loved the game, I did not love the in app purchase of $99.99!! A $100 for a game?? And no extra caution measure of ensuring an adult made the purchase like birthdate or math problem??
Never write reviews. Trash game
The game makes you lose. I blatantly was going to beat a guy and then my arrow just didn’t shoot. Then in another game my timer went to zero immediately so I lost a shot. Then in the playoff, I was 2 cm from the bullseye and the other guy hit the outside ring but the game said he won. Absolute trash
Completely non competitive if you're not spending 20$ a month
Cash grab that's pay to win
Daily reward does not work
Daily reward does not work. Also why give money when you can’t buy anything or our
Garbage
The mechanics in this game are slow and poorly timed. It is a complete waste of time
This game is genuinely terrible
Please don’t download this game.
Ads
Nothing but ads
Ran out of time during a single player level and wanted me to watch a ad for more time straight nonsense.

No Developer
The game does not work properly. It seems the developer is no longer engaged.
No Black Women Character
Now why would y’all have every race under the sun but exclude Black Women as a character choice, then have the nerve for the arms to be White regardless of who you choose. Pretty racist and exclusionary . So better.
Scammy Sosa
Scammy asking for subscription.
Trash game
It’s bad
Fake Multiplayer
This game doesn’t even try to make it seem like the multiplayer is real. When it goes to sudden death the other player will hit the bullseye spot on 0.00 every single time. Not to mention they always go first as if to make it more obvious you’re just playing a bot
No longer supported
Last update was 2 yrs ago. Always has a “network error” and will not give you ads to give you the bonuses. Seen other users state they have bought upgrades and did not receive. The developer seems to be MIA.
Full of flaws
This game is somewhat fun to kill time but is beyond inconsistent. Half the time you shoot, you watch it hit on target yet says you missed. Not just in the solo play but also in the multiplayer games as well. Along with force closing in the middle of games. And you can only upgrade your bow, arrows, and sights if you pay money. If you get coins for winning multi rounds and completing solo rounds, make it so you can actually use the coins. They have no purpose in the game. It makes no sense.
Battery
Not enough battery life
Ads!
Way way way too many ads! Deleted
Greed
This game use to be fun but now it gets you coming and going with the insane ads after every round and the useless coins etc since nothing can be upgraded without bugs vip. And the developers excuse ads and vip are used so they can develop higher quality games. While I’m sure the real reason is either just pure greed or mounting bills from bad choices. Either way you can’t make more money if people just get fed up with all the changes and look elsewhere for better choices. Hopefully they pay their consultants and researchers enough to enlighten them this is not the correct path to riches but instead to catastrophic failure
Has Potential
Man this game is good but ads are after EVERY match. Shoot 3 then an ad. Shoot 3 then an ad. This game isn’t complete garbage, but with the ads so often I’m deleting it.
Terrible pay to play
Must be VIP ($20 a month NOT WORTH THAT AT ALL) to upgrade any equipment. So coins are useless now too unless you pay. Ads are plentiful as well. Horrible to see such greed take over the game. The game used to have ads but you got coins(watch ads to get some more greedy dev) to upgrade equipment, now pure greedy pay to get the privilege of using coins to upgrade. Could a dev get more greedy??? Game itself is unrealistic but semi fun to play. Now that you can’t upgrade with hard earned coins the game is not playable. App will be deleted as it’s not fun anymore since the dev got greedy. There are other games out there that are the same and not greedy
Needs a pause
Round multiplayer needs a pause.I have lost multiple times because of this issue. Otherwise great game
Multiplayer sketchy ending the round auto losing.
Also need something to do with coins and gems.

Do better

I think they’re trying to get rid of us non-payers
I’m not much for a paying to play a game, but I don’t mind watching a few ads or taking advantage of a product offer, if the game provides them, to enjoy the experience. This is a fun game but the developers stop allowing you to get a daily gift after awhile. The gifts were the only means by which you can get extra life or equipment upgrades instead of just buying it with cash outright. Since you expend a life every time you lose an archery event, you’re ability to play is significantly diminished. This app doesn’t provide product offers. Maybe they should consider it as a means to earn an additional income from us folks who are adverse to pay-to-play. If you’re wondering what I mean by a product offer, check out the offer wall on the PGA golf app. I only gave the game two stars because of the developers clear choice to boot us out. Enjoy it while you can, and then blow it off.
The multiplayer isn’t actually multiplayer
Multiplayer is just facing off against bots, if you get into a “playoff” scenario the bot will hit dead center of the bullseye every time without fail which is stupid and unbalanced
Very Strange
Somehow this game tallies a shot as a miss when it’s clearly on target. It leads one to believe the fix is on for people spending their money or registering through Facebook or Google on the site.
It’s fun but…..
It’s a fun strategy game to play however what’s the point of accumulating coins within the game if you can’t use them to purchase equipment within the game I’d rather not have to pay a monthly fee to unlock things.
Stupid set up.
Any game that I would say is half way addicting has to do with leveling up and improving whatever it is the game is about. On this game you only get one bow without paying to be a VIP like seriously who wants to waste money on this game when they don’t even try.
Ads don’t even work
To help save your lives or even get more coins the ads don’t work!
You only get 3 lives.
You can’t even save your progress in the app to pick it up on another phone or iPad. You have to start from the beginning. Love the sounds and music though.

Cool game but…
Cool game but what’s the point of earning the coins and gems if you can’t use them to upgrade equipment. $100 bucks for a year so you can demo all the different equipment? Nice try but inflation can’t have impacted gaming markets that much.
Meh
Don’t pay to remove adds. You do that, and then they slowly squeeze you out of the game unless you buy a subscription. Unless you get the subscription, the abilities of your bow, sight, and arrows quickly become obsolete. I was bummed as I paid to remove adds and then went to buy some upgrades and it wanted a subscription. Bummer. Developers, don’t respond with some junk like we hope that the more people who play will allow us to reduce the cost because your subscription rate is ridiculously high for what the game is.
So disappointed.
So disappointed.
Too much
The game is OK but they really try to buy you on paying for it and I don’t know anyone in the right mind that would pay so much for such a low quality game. I don’t know if you’re just money hungry or think that’s a reasonable price but your game isn’t worth those prices unfortunately half the time it barley works.
Errors and stole my money
Good game, it’s be a lot better if it worked 100%. I receive an “abnormal network activity” error when attempting to use different features including the trial. I bought lives for $5, they didn’t give me all the lives and disappeared.
Too many Ads
Games good, but there’s way too many ads.
Fun but unplayable in free mode
Like the mechanics but the constant ads just sucked all enjoyment out. I get you need to make your money but the frequency hampered the fun
Good but two things…
This game is a great game in my opinion but I just don’t like how many ads there are and I also hate how there’s little to no reason to have money in this game UNLESS you buy with REAL money for VIP which gives u 20,000 coins etc… and bows, arrows and sights but not ONE of them are buyable without VIP
