### 4/5 — When this baby hits 88mph

*2025-10-05*

Honestly pretty good! It’s didn’t crash and works alright! However if the developers are reading this please make it so the keypad has accurate movie sfx, and if possible Mabey add the flux capacitor when I hold the phone vertical, and when I hold the flux capacitor down the dates will change kinda like the old app. Either way I LOVE THIS APP!

### 2/5 — Funktioniert nicht

*2025-06-09*

Bildschirm immer 90 Grad verdreht

### 4/5 — Car play

*2023-08-22*

Please make this available for Apple car play, it would be perfect

### 4/5 — MAKE THIS COMPATIBLE WITH CAR PLAY

*2023-05-29*

Please!!! This app will be absolutely amazing if it was compatible with apple car play. 

Suggestions, I'm not saying get rid of the 88mph speed limit, but it would be nice if we can change the speed in settings to 55, 66, 77 mph to comply to some local laws. 

Please fix the glitches, make it easier to type in the date, increase the resolution, and make it compatible with iPhone X and later screen sizes. (Most importantly car play!)

### 2/5 — Right side up?

*2022-12-09*

No matter how I tilt my iPad, it is always 90 degrees off. Things seem to work. I like the “Dist” display that shows years,months,days etc.

### 4/5 — No Time Travel

*2021-12-11*

Yes you try to drive 88mph & you don’t time travel/it doesn’t work. I know exactly why. It’s because this there’s no flux capacitor. You can’t time travel with only time circuit. You need to have a flux capacitor as well.

### 2/5 — Is there sound?

*2021-10-02*

I can’t find a sound setting. Is there sound in this app?

### 3/5 — Good but....

### 2/5 — Keypad

*2020-08-09*

### 4/5 — No speeding needed?!

*2019-06-13*

Hey, just a question, is there a way in the future, you could ever let us time travel up to 88mph by just sitting in our house?

## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated)

### 1/5 — 88 per hour

*2026-01-03*

I don’t think it should cost a dollar just to get up to 88 it should be a boutton that gets it up to 88

### 1/5 — Trash

*2023-02-01*

The other flux capacitor app is far better!

### 1/5 — Don’t buy

*2022-04-21*

This is a waste of money

### 1/5 — Crap - don’t buy get it in browser for free

*2021-10-27*

It’s not working does not show car screen no instructions waste of money

### 1/5 — No sirve no emula el viaje en el tiempo

*2020-08-20, version 4.1.9*

La versión anterior estaba mejor, estaba el Capacitador de Flujo instalado y servía, podías ir a cualquier época como en la película Back to the Future, ahora no sirve solo te deja introducir la fecha de destino y no hace nada más

### 1/5 — Total trash and waste of time

*2019-10-09*

Please do not buy this there are no instructions and it’s very unclear the controls are terrible and when you do get it something always goes wrong and you have to go back to the start I would rather recommend OutATime it’s easy and the controls work, free and at least that one works and if the company is reading this it’s trash and get it off The App Store

### 1/5 — 何が出来るのですか？

*2019-10-06*

入力はしづらい上、反応無し。
なんとかしてください。

### 1/5 — CRAP

*2017-10-14*

This app is an actual piece of crap it is so hard to put into the dates on the time circuits! I only got his because the regular good time circuits app is not available for iOS 11 yet! Don’t get this app it’s horrible!

### 1/5 — Change the interface

*2017-06-26*

The app is great and all but the interface is bad developers if you are reading this please change it when I push 1 it turns out as 4. Please change the interface completely I really like this app there isn't really a lot of (good) time travel apps out there. P.S. if you want to change the interface don't use a picture please that is why it is not good.

### 1/5 — はやくなおして！

*2020-01-05*

die app macht mir alf fan viel spaß 
und funktioniert auch so wie sie soll

### 5/5 — Really good app!

*2019-06-15, version 4.1.9*

This app is great but I don’t want to go 88 mph, and neither does another guy named Jake Weatherman. Do we really have to go 88 mph just for style. I would go 88 mph if it COULD actually time travel.

### 5/5 — Du hasst ein Meisterwerk erschaffen !

*2018-05-10*

Es funktioniert wunderbar!!! Lob an dich 🤗 !! Ich bin als BTTF fan begeistert und noch nie so glücklich gewesen!!! Bitte lösch diese App nieeee !!!

### 5/5 — Please update the app

*2015-10-29*

This app needs an update. Just as two other people said on the reviews it doesn't work anymore. When you open it it just crashes. It worked a month ago now the 21st has passed and it doesn't work? Please update! Five stars only because back to the future is the greatest ever and if this is ever fixed it deserves five...Thanks

### 5/5 — sad face

*2015-10-29, version 3.1*

I got his app last year and I loved it. Pointless,  but i loved it. I got a new phone and I re downloaded it. It doesn't open anymore. It keeps crashing =(

### 5/5 — This App is awesome

*2015-01-07, version 3.1*

I don't know why you people say that is app is junk. This is the coolest app ever. You can simulate that you're on a time machine. Screw you people. This app is awesome.
