HOW SURE ARE WE
Small app: combines its grossing ranks with ratings growth (761 new ratings a month on average since launch). Tested on 418 apps with verified revenue: typically off by about 2.6 times, so the range is wide. Countries we don't track (and Google Play in China, which doesn't exist) aren't included, and neither are ads or web payments. Gross revenue before store fees.

★★★★★ Now every time I try to get into the game it freezes upon finishing loading and can't do nothing have to restart.
★★★★★ Game freezes within 30 seconds of start up, half the time it won't even get past the acknowledging of eula
Price and subscription18%

11 of the 1 and 2 star reviews.

★★★★★ But just like Train Station 2, after the first few hours, you quickly get to a point where it's basically watch ads or spend real money to not have to wait a long time to progress, or you guessed it - wait a long time…
★★★★★ My name stopped working but they sure got their money tho
★★★★★ Beware spending real money on this.

★★★★★ Now every time I try to get into the game it freezes upon finishing loading and can't do nothing have to restart.
★★★★★ Update to Dev #2: No, I will not update my rating until you change back the global map that makes it slow and cumbersome to move between ports.

Junk

This game doesn’t seem to be supported anymore. I have the game on my IPad and have been playing for 8 months. I made it to level 300, so it’s been fun. The kicker though is that I have been getting a GUI174 code. I have reloaded the game 10 times and have rebooted my IPad 6 times. I have not had access for the last 9 hours. So beware, there’s a massive lack of support.

★★★★★Sep 6, 2026
Pretty darn fun

I downloaded this a couple days ago and it seems pretty legit. Fun game for anyone out there who wants something different to play or just likes boats in general. Would recommend.

★★★★★Aug 5, 2026
Hope the devs can see this

Hello, could the official add Chinese language support to the game?

★★★★★Jul 10, 2026
