Aber es ist ein bisschen anstrengend ständig das gas zu spamen, da man sonst zu schnell wird. Deshalb fände ich es gut ein Slide Pedal (Auch für die Bremse) hinzuzufügen. Das würde den Spaß heben. Die Steuerung könnte man sonst auch noch ein bisschen optimieren, wobei man sich nach kurzer zeit daran gewöhnen kann. Gut, dass es auch eine gratis Version gibt, falls man kein Geld dafür ausgeben will. Von mir gibt es 4 Sterne. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ ### 4/5 — Jeu ( bus ) *2026-04-07* Jeu trop cool 👍🏼, j’aime bien y jouer mais il y a des bugs dans le jeu c’est pénible mais sinon j’adore 👌🏻 ### 4/5 — minor issues *2026-03-28, version 1.1.4* sometimes it doesn’t run so smoothly but overall great game very detailed ### 3/5 — Pretty Goood *2026-03-23, version 1.1.4* Quite fun for a while. To be honest it’s a bit dull, but if you want a relaxing drive around in a bus this looks and drives quite well. The only problem was that it’s easy for your fingers to stray off the steering wheel area since you have to look where you’re going. But a bit of pedestrian murder adds to the spiciness of the game, although you lose points. ### 3/5 — Lagging issues *2026-03-02* Too much lagging it almost borke my IPad. In India it works but here in Qatar it doesn’t. ### 4/5 — Nice, but one mistake *2025-11-02* So if you know you know, I have download this game to test if it’s good or not, and I have some results so it’s pretty good. I thought for the first time when I watched their ads, but it is fake, but it’s absolutely not the graphics are incredible, and it is absolutely the beauty between my eyeballs, but there is one problem when I park. I use indicators everything else needed while driving, so I use indicators right are used well basically, I was on perfect schedule and I parked in a perfect spot but it done said I didn’t use indicators. I like park in the place in the perfect place, basically, and things like that that weren’t true. So developer, if you see this review, please fix the problem about what the player is doing, and if they’re doing it correctly. if not hire a driving expert. ### 3/5 — Rezension *2025-10-04, version 1.1.4* Ich habe mir die voll Version für 4 Euro gekauft und sie bringt ganrnix also nicht drauf reinfallen ### 4/5 — Lenkung nicht gut *2025-08-22, version 1.1.4* Ganz gut Lenkung nicht so gut aber sonst 👍👍👍 ### 3/5 — 太不可思議了 *2025-08-06, version 1.1.4* 希望有下雨天的效果，為啥一直玩到等級七就不能升等級了呢😨 ### 2/5 — We Need The Full Version Free *2025-07-27, version 1.1.4* This Is The Great Game, But I’m Not Wasting My Money On A Full Version. I Will Give It A 5 Star If The Full Version Is Free. ### 3/5 — Please make it so the full version is free *2025-07-23, version 1.1.4* Look this game is really fun it has a lot of potential. But it gets boring after you realize you have to get the full version by paying real money. I am not trying to spend money just to play the full version. I have seen other reviews asking to make the full version free. Please just make it free so we can enjoy the game ### 4/5 — Bus Simulator Lite *2025-07-11, version 1.1.4* Ich finde es ist ein cooles Spiel,aber auf der Nintendo lässt es sich besser spielen. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Bug *2025-10-15, version 1.1.4* Game keeps crashing on me ### 1/5 — Horrible *2025-09-14* Laggy on iPad ### 1/5 — In App purchase *2025-09-02, version 1.1.4* Do not play !! You pay for in app purchase - that you will never received or get a refund. Avoid at all cost !! ### 1/5 — It is not worth *2025-08-09* Steering wheel don’t work ### 1/5 — Money gets everything *2025-08-04, version 1.1.4* I want to rate this 0 stars. Bad game with too less buses for free. Everything is with money. Bad game. Worst bus sim. If this game adds more buses that are free, I'll definitely rate it way more than this. Where is the double-decker bus? I hate this game. Please add the Enviro 500 for free. 😡😡😡 - J. Li ### 1/5 — Neues Update bitte ? *2025-07-02, version 1.1.4* Mann muss zwar bezahlen aber ich habe das Spiel durch aber will ein neues Update warte schon seit 1 Jahr ### 1/5 — PÉSSIMO *2025-04-28* Só vai até o level 7 de motorista, tendo que pagar para ter acesso a mais que isso. Terrível. ### 1/5 — zwrot pieniedzy *2025-04-16, version 1.1.3* zaplacilam za pelna wersje gry jendak nic sie nie zmienilo. prosze o rozpatrzenie problemu i zwrot srodkow. ### 1/5 — 銀行沒有用 *2025-03-23, version 1.1.3* 購買收費選項但是卻沒有增加其他地圖 ### 1/5 — Proszę o zwrot pieniędzy *2025-03-22, version 1.1.3* Zapłaciłam za szerszą wersję gry i niestety nic się nie wydarzyło. Z konta zeszło mi 19.99 ale nadal nie mam dostępu do szerszej wersji. Możliwość zgłoszenia błędów na tej aplikacji nie jest łatwa, ponieważ zamiast przekierować mnie do jakiegoś okna dialogowego, to każe zalogować mi się na pocztę. Proszę o pomoc oraz zwrot pieniędzy. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Ai buses are here or not here *2026-04-13, version 1.1.4* Buses are traffic ### 5/5 — Bus Simulator Lite *2026-01-24* Ce jeu est extraordinaire et très bien fait. ### 5/5 — 10/10 mit luft für verbesserungen *2026-01-19* Wenn ich hier leute sehe die sich über 4€, damals 8€, beschweren für die Voll Version, werde ich schon direkt aggressiv - merkt man eben dass gute Sachen nicht immer kostenlos sein können. Hier meine Erfahrung aus der Lite Version: Ein sehr tolles und realistisches Spiel vorallem für Mobile Gegebenheiten. Dennoch wünschte ich dass es eine adaptivere Sound Kulisse bei den Fahrzeug Geräuschen gäbe, oft wirkt es sehr schwammig und gar nicht passend zu gas und bremse. Menüs, UI Sounds und Buttons sind fantastisch und geben ein sehr schönes Gefühl, aber es wäre unglaublich toll „Slider“ für Gas und Bremse zu haben, würde allem nochmal das perfekte realitäts und feinheits gefühl geben. ### 5/5 — Ai buses *2026-01-11, version 1.1.4* This game is interesting but they have no ai buses and ai buses are available at bus simulator 21 ### 5/5 — Just User *2025-12-11, version 1.1.4* Very realistic game, I was happy to see very high quality of the buses, roads, threes, cars, people and so on. I hope YOU will improve in future YOUR game. Thank YOU very much for these amazing emotions 🤝 ### 5/5 — Fajna na nudę *2025-10-27, version 1.1.4* Fajna Gierka na nudę można sobie pojeździć i wszystko śmiga elegancko ### 5/5 — I am playing this game for few months *2025-10-01* This game is so so so nice 😎😎😎 ### 5/5 — The steering wheel needs to be improved and Make sure there are no cars coming from behind. *2025-08-24, version 1.1.4* After playing other bus games, I think you have done very well and are very interesting. However, the steering wheel doesn't work very well, which affects the game experience. I hope this problem can be improved so that the game will be more fun.It will be better to have the rearview mirror function. These are my better suggestions for you. Please listen to them, thank you ~ ### 5/5 — İNDİRİN *2025-08-07, version 1.1.4* İNDİRDİĞİM EN İYİ OTOBÜS OYUNU İNDİRİN ### 5/5 — Add an Optare Solo bus plz *2025-07-05, version 1.1.4* I love this game, but plz add an Optare solo to the game and extend how far you can play in the lite version --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
