### 4/5 — Just needs house mode

*2025-03-31*

The game is good but if it had a house mode it would have been better

### 3/5 — Не понимаю как им пользоваться

*2019-09-13*

Не то за бегом следить не то на экран смотреть искать точки. Отвлекают.

### 5/5 — Really original

*2019-06-30, version 3.0*

Great game, even though it would be better if some of the parts of it were free, it’s understandable. No ads thankfully , overall really interesting game.

### 3/5 — Great idea but...

*2019-06-29*

The game has a very great concept and is really fun but only when it works. The targets occasionally drift higher and farther away to the point I can’t even see them making the game unplayable.

### 5/5 — Отлично!

*2019-05-30*

Очень крутое и интересное приложение, но со стороны смотришься как какой-то наркоман..

### 4/5 — ПЖ сделайте как раньше  будет задорно

*2019-05-21, version 3.0*

Почему б и не сделать бесплатную версию и лучш сюда включить та 5s у нее же такая же планка ( лучше можете совместку с 5s сделать )

### 3/5 — Bien

*2019-05-13, version 3.0*

No entiendo por qué ponen premium si ya hemos pagado por el juego, pero es un buen juego.

### 5/5 — Pagar más

*2019-01-12*

El juego esta bien pero he pagado 1,09 euros i para jugar todos los niveles hay que pagar 2,29 euros. Estaría bien si pagaras 1 euro i no tener que pagar más por favor arreglad esto i el juego será más interesante

### 5/5 — www.5-Sterne.de

*2018-12-16*

### 5/5 — Fun

*2018-09-27, version 3.0*

The only way to improve this game is to make it VR compatible. VR and AR games would be awesome

### 5/5 — Восторг!

*2018-09-24*

Давно уже меня, не радовали приложения для спорта. А здесь и спорт и игра. Пару раз бегал по кабинетам на работе в течение дня, шокировал людей на остановке пока ждал такси. Пришёл устроил конкурс с женой, отличное приложение. Возьму позже премиум с удовольствием! Успехов вам!

### 5/5 — Simply awesome it makes me remain fit

*2018-09-21*

Just loved it

### 5/5 — Интересно, но..

*2018-09-20*

Приложение крутое, но... 
бегал я, а мимо ППС проезжали. Спросили, мол, что делаешь? Больной что ли? Ну я даже не знал что ответить. Просто затупил и стоял молча.  В результате повязали, думали что я наркоман

### 1/5 — Well they broke it

*2025-09-09*

This worked back in 2017. But today, on a newer phone, inside and outside, plenty of room, the field doesn’t load. It can’t detect the ground. Somehow, they broke this app, and it shameful. It. Used to be a finicky fun game, but now it’s just a literal waste that I regret having spent money on.

### 1/5 — Crashes

*2024-08-10, version 4.0*

Crashes every second

### 1/5 — Never found the floor

*2022-06-27, version 4.0*

The app could never find where the floor was no matter how many times I restarted the detection. So essentially it was as if the marks were in mid air floating around.

### 1/5 — Good game

*2019-08-02, version 4.0*

This is one of my favorite games under Minecraft I am currently tied for second it the 30 second rush 2 by 2 meters. This a great game. The bugs are few and far between really a great game

### 1/5 — Bonjour

*2019-04-12*

« Appuyez pour commancer »
Eh bien dites donc! Bravo l’orthographe!

### 1/5 — Doesn’t work

*2017-10-21, version 2.0*

I tried all of the instructions and it didn’t work.

### 1/5 — 인식도잘안됌

*2017-10-07*

빠른업뎃이시급해;;;

### 1/5 — Doesn’t request the camera

*2017-10-01, version 1.1.1*

Can’t use the app because it tells you how to link your camera, but I can’t since it doesn’t request for the camera

### 1/5 — It’s not working

*2017-10-01, version 1.1.1*

I’m trying to play but it says to turn on the camera. pls help

### 2/5 — Doesn’t work

*2017-10-07, version 2.0*

I have the iOS 11 update and an iPhone 6 Plus and it won’t let me play ): 😡😡😡

### 5/5 — Best game ever

*2026-04-05*

I had it on my iPad and then download it on my phone so good you could even do small distances. I took it outside and did it on my sidewalk and I have a small sidewalk! Probably the best AR app you’ll ever get best game ever

### 5/5 — Игра

*2025-06-26*

Игра интересная но хотелось бы изменении в мульти плеере а именно то что можно было соревноваться с игроками на ростоянии либо в реальном времени либо чтобы момент игры игрока сохранялся и при старте игры у другого человека как соперник появлялся «призрак» игрока. Хотелось бы чтобы эта возможность была в бесплатной версии игры.

### 5/5 — Amazing

*2023-03-12*

### 5/5 — One of the only good AR games.
