Community Insight:
Just played this last night with family. We all lost our voices from screaming . It was so much fun and worked perfectly. The games graphics were really good. All you do is just download the game on your Mac book, connect it to the tv and everyone downloads this on their phone. Truly the best game for friends and family thank you for making such a game we cant find one like this.
A lot of people seem to misunderstand that this is a remote for the BombSquad GAME. You use your phone as a remote for the game on your Mac or other platform. Other than some occasional lag, this works great and its the perfect idea because it helps include everyone into the fun.
The bomb squad remote works perfectly and smoothly for us no problems at all! Its amazing! Definitely a five star :).
We experience crashes on our friend's iphone cause they have updated their phone. Plz update your app or open source it so we can fix the bug. Thank you.
Come on what happened to the old game we gotta pick up bombs and throw it and you had to take the other person's flag like this app don't even work we don't think our mom tried to help us and she put in the address but nothing happened we waited an hour and it didn't work Bring back the old game please.
This is not the game its a controller for the game on pc also its really easy to install and run on pretty much any pc from the past 15 years just go on YouTube and search bomb squad download for pc and there will be video showing you how.
This remote works just fine but we wish you could put the game on the App Store; Ive always wanted to play it again but we dont have a android phone so we cant play it.
Hey guys love the game as you can see Im having trouble getting something going our way here. Ive downloaded Bomb Squad on our PC (which is kind of a hastle if you have no experience with computers) and in game we go to Gather and try to find our address to connect to our phone but whenever we put the local address into the find our address all it does is load.. And load.. And load and it never connects and it does the same with a random ip, like 1.1.1.1 it does the exact same thing. So why how in the world am we supposed to get this controller going? We have no idea, because there is no help online either Ive looked and looked and this truly is so frustrating Im gunna have to learn how to port forward a UDP to a router or some crazy stuff and we have no idea how to do that so were gunna be busy for the next few days figuring that out but yeah this app simply does not work and we really hope we can figure it out on our own.
We havent played the game for a while. But this game had so much child hood memories. And when we try to play it, it wont work. So please bring back the old version of the game. This game is amazing one of the best games Ive ever played if Im gonna be honest. But it wont let us play it anymore.
The app is awesome just need to bring back the actual game and not the remote version.
This was honestly such a fun concept for a game and we love the short exciting rounds of chaos! We do not see why it has been replaced with the remote version? We would absolutely love to see the original come back to the App Store, it was different than any other games, didnt feel like a cheap game where ads would pop up every 3 seconds. The style of it and everything was just so appealing.
An awesome game for most ages, understand its not tragic in any way, however there are characters trying to blow each other up. Ive played sense we were a kid and loved playing a game that can fit a large family. We highly sagest playing as many players as possible, and embracing the cohos.
PLEASE ADD IT BACK TO IOS ITS SUCH A GOOD GAME PLEASEEEEEEEEE IM BEGGING YOU.
Why did you remove the game we remember the actual game those were the good days we played it all the time with our brother when we were younger please bring back the game.
Please make for App Store Ive been wanting to play this game forever we miss this game so much.
How come the game online android butuh not on iPhone there the same control just iPhone dong have a back button.
We are big fan of Bomb Squad. Us and our friends play that game every single day. We are so much fun with that game. But we change our phone android to IOS :(( we cant find Bomb Squad in ios app store. We miss you.We want to play again.We are hoping.. And waiting since 2018. #BOMBSQUADFANS<3.
The strange is: why this popular game doesnt have IOS Version.
This game is amazing and addictive. You will have so much fun for hours at a time.
It is good but the thing is we played bomb squad a long time ago and we do want it on iPhone because we dont want to connect to someone else just to play. It is still fun though.
Hay where is the real bomb squad game???????!!!!!! We like the remote for multiplayer and we had the real game but then we deleted it and now we want it again but we cannot find it really really really annoying Im really really really really really mad.
This so bad why did you delete the mobile one and remove it with a remote one we cant believe you guys pls add back the mobile this is our and our brother favorite game of mobile fix it plz.
Please bring this game to iOS we will buy and many other people have been waiting years.
We like this game we played it when we were 6 now we are 8 but the WiFi is not working at least we played it when we were small (we all most did it ).
Please make a full version of the game for iOS!!!!!!! We gave this 5 stars so developers will notice.
Please make the IOS version of the game. Ive been playing it for a while on our old phone and now we have this iPhone so now we cant play it anymore. We would give the game 5 stars if it was in the App Store.
We love the game but the full game is on the Samsung app.
This game is mind-blowing. But its annoying when you look through all the reviews and all ppl ask for is When will it be out for iOS? Please stop writing this.
Please make this game for iPhones !!! We honestly don't know how to use the remote.
This game is so amazing, we love it! But, can you please add the full version? We would love that.
Please make a game for iOS please.
You need a computer to play, this is just the controller you need to play.it is really fun.
Add the game please to App Store.
Plz insert orginal bomb squad game.
Please make the full version for ios.
The idea of this app is that it is literally just for turning your mobile device into the handheld controller for the actual game. We downloaded the actual BombSquad game on our Mac laptop. The concept of being able to turn your phone into a wireless controller to seamlessly play a multiplayer game on your laptop is amazing. Warning: Playing for hours will destroy your thumb from running around so much, but we can't fault them for making the game too addicting! 5/5.
Please make the game for iOS App Store please.
Please make BombSquad game for IOS deviceThank so much.
This game is great but plz make a full version for Apple because this is only the remote and also add final kill cam.
They need ti add bomb squad to iPhone fr.
We loved bomb squad for a long time but when you replaced it with this version it sucked bring back the old one.
We need the old bombsquad. Its fun being able to choose your own rounds and play offline. Bring that back.
The game is really fun and we enjoy playing but the device we play the real game on is our android tablet and its old and the battery is trash. We would appreciate the actual game on the App Store. Thank you for the good game and best of luck with it too.
What we dont like is that when u go into the game and like then u have to wait we have been waiting for like an hour and we have good internet connection so yes that is all.
The game is very good but why on iPhone we have to play we have to play at our friends fire stick and why on fire stick.
Everything ok but we think you should add a setting that let you move the controls down and make it small or big.
We love bomb squad mainly because of the violence.our only complaint is that the computer players are overpowered.
We know you have a million of these to the point we think youre not reading your reviews but we loveeeeeeeeeee this game but PLEASE make the full version on iOS.
We love your game so much but its not working fo our small apple iPad. Pls fix it. If it working Ill tell you.
Please make this game for ios thanks.
