### 2/5 — Non funziona

*2022-12-27*

Sul mio ipad ultima generazione non funzionano i controlli e la grafica è molto imprecisa! Nessuno ancora batte il primo ski-challenge, non quello attuale che é un lontano parente…

### 2/5 — How Do I Control The Skis?

*2022-03-06, version 3.7*

I think this would’ve been a fun game, if I knew how to turn. Am I missing something, like to turn, do you have to tilt the screen, or is this game just not for iPads? Please make the controls easier, or make an in-game tutorial. Thanks!

### 3/5 — Can u add a jump buton and make it more responsive

*2022-02-12*

Can you plz also my acc won’t work so ugj can u plz fix that to plz

### 3/5 — Works well (when it works)

*2022-02-09, version 3.6*

A fun game … but there’s a bug which gets very irritating; sometimes it locks mid-turn & turns you off the track. And each time you restart it gets stuck in this same angled position… Without this problem I’d give it 5 stars …

### 5/5 — Giocabile

*2022-01-10*

Bello, realistico, ottima giocabilità

### 4/5 — Ci sta

*2022-01-01*

Il gioco è bello , ma non riesco a fare le gare di wc. Potreste dirmi come si fa? Grazie. Comunque il gioco ci sta anche se è un po’difficile

### 1/5 — Can't login

*2021-11-20*

When I tried logging in I didn't know how to. Y'all need to make it where everyone can join and not to make us put emails in. So y'all are failures.

### 1/5 — Beton Tore

*2021-06-25*

Eigentlich nicht schlecht gemacht.
Aber  die aus den 80er Jahre mitgezogenen Beton Tore Sind absolut Mist. Kippstangen waeren gut.
Fazit: Das Spiel ist Sehr schlecht gemacht. 8 bit style!!

### 5/5 — Come competere realmente

*2021-05-21*

Straordinaria competizione sciistica molto realistica e divertente

### 2/5 — Non si può vincere

*2021-02-21*

Il gioco è troppo sensibile nelle curve anche con la sensibilità al minimo, in più il tuo avversario, controllato dal computer, fa dei tempi assurdi che non si possono battere neanche se sei un campione del gioco. Per il resto il gioco è abbastanza realistico con anche dei tracciati esistenti anche nella realtà

### 1/5 — Why does it always make me turn left?

*2026-02-16*

Whenever I start, it always makes me turn left at the very beginning and I’ve literally Clean it off my screen, and it literally didn’t work and I tried everything please if any devs can tell me how to fix it please do

### 1/5 — Won’t steer the way I want

*2024-11-29*

So when I started I finally found the start button and when I was playing I started to try and steer but it did not work so I’m about to uninstall after like 30 secs game is good but I can’t figure out how to steer

### 1/5 — 👎

*2024-02-07*

Super long logging in process for a trash game.

### 1/5 — RIDICULE

*2023-10-09*

Rien que pour commencer à skier il faut 20mn pour ouvrir un compte tellement le développeur se croit à la DGSE. 
Pire application même si vous tentez de jouer en guest, retour à la case formulaire incompréhensible 👎🏼👎🏼

### 1/5 — Befuddling

*2023-03-08*

Couldn’t figure out how to ski.  No “Play” or “Go” button, so I randomly tapped on things hoping to bring up a menu or something.  Also changes to my character never save.  I change from default country Austria and it changes me back to Austria.  No “Save” button to save changes.  Uninstalled after 5 minutes of random tapping.

### 1/5 — Horrible

*2022-10-17*

Controls are horrible. Could not play

### 1/5 — Impossible

*2022-03-05*

Beaucoup trop dur, impossible, rageant, mauvais contrôle du personnage, très peu de parcours pour débuter.
Il faut y jouer pendant 10 ans pour pouvoir espérer réussir une course en un seul coup. 
Dommage ...

### 1/5 — Was soll das?

*2021-12-26*

So ein visuell mies gemachtes UI habe ich ja echt nicht erwartet. Wie Windows 95. Und im Hauptmenü passiert nur beim Klick auf die Schaltflächen um etwas zu kaufen. Dahinter dann Schwarzweiß Bildchen. Sorry, gleich wieder runter geschmissen. Wenn der erste Eindruck so grottenschlecht ist, kann das nichts sein. Selbst ein Stern ist da noch zuviel

### 1/5 — Totalement injouable

*2021-12-18*

C’est dit

### 1/5 — Un vrai bordel

*2021-12-02*

Un vrai bordel : faut créer un compte et même en cochant la case remember login faut tout retaper 
Trop compliqué comme menu 
Un jeu c’est fait pour pas se prendre la tête et se détendre tout de suite. Là faut 8 ans avant de jouer.

### 5/5 — Great Game - Update Killed It

*2024-01-21*

Played most of them, this one was a winner. Only played it a couple of weeks, the last update killed tilt control on my iPad. Hope you work the bugs out real soon. - Ernest T. Bass

### 5/5 — Bellissimo

*2023-04-15*

Molto realistico

### 5/5 — Fun
