Pros and cons of Star Command app for iPhone and iPad

Star Command app good for

This game is incredible but it seems like the developers just stopped updating the game, this game has so many planets and levels that we cant access that I am dying to explore. I really hope the developers are still working on this game but its just taking too long. Ive had this game since 2012 waiting for a update and I know they fixed some bugs in 2013 but I just feel like there is a giant hole in game. This game could go places but without finishing the game it feels like a forgotten idea.
Feels like commanding your own starship. Great classes: combat commandoes, engineer, and medics. The game play and music is all there. All I want is more...more stories, more combat mini games, more story development options (ahem!). This is the stuff every Star Trek fans dream of. Cant wait for the "coming soon" stages.
This game instantly became my all time favorite game its extremely addictive and a nice story behind the game also
By far the best game I have played on my phone. If you like the indie game FTL and wish you could play on your phone with a graphical update, this is it. Compared to FTL it does not have the roguelike elements or the O2 monitoring that FTL does, but its got enough story and fun gameplay that you wont even notice the difference. For any fan of ship, RPG, management or Sci-Fi games, this ones a must play.
This game is one of the best games on the App Store. It is a must get, the only problem being the updates. The game has had an update since 2013 and if updates were released it could be even better. There are so many ways to add to this game. It evens hint at a future addition. This game is great, but if it was updated, it could be the best game on the App Store.
This game is simply amazing, giving you a Star Trek-like feel with a sense of comedy, Ive played this game multiple times, and I simply want more! The game is so unique and fun, and I truly wish for another update, maybe add multiplayer (just a suggestion) or perhaps add a whole new storyline, I just loved fighting and combating all these unique space aliens and even having choice and consequence decisions. All the references were hilarious and awesome, in plus the upgrading descriptions gave me a kick. Ive been playing a similar game to this, but THIS game has so much potential! Please I need more!

Some bad moments

No updates since 2013? Coming soon option on main menu? Very short but fun however lacking depth. Devs used to be super active in the community but no progress in 3 years.
I remember when the game was kick started. Lots of expectations and hope. And lots of delays and promised not kept. The game is too short! No expansion or updates! Basically they are stealing your money. Dont buy it!! Wait for a sale or a hacked copy online. Its not worth even 99 cent.
This game is fun, but the lack of new content is ridiculous. Once you play it through, there is little incentive to replay again. If the creators update it, then I will play again.
It is already uninteresting but I can overlook that in a game if its got fun gameplay. Its not. Its boring and basic. But even then that doesnt make a bad game. What makes this game special is it explains the games already awful mechanics poorly. "Oh how do you fight invading crew? Look at these useless pictures and confusing instructions that you cant go back to." Or also "how to attack? Press buttons when its full. Oh yea also you have to do a stupid mini game. Oh and also its got a limited amount of time I forget to say that" its so bad. Thats how it felt. Avoid this game.
This game had potential and was fun initially. But promises for an update are 3 years old and frankly its sad to see such a waste of a good concept. Dont waste your money until they drop a new update, for what they are offering, this game should be free.
An update is long overdue. Stay away. After three years, still nothing. Stay away.
