### 1/5 — Not worth it

*2023-09-06, version 1.5.1*

This game is not worth $3.99 and it should be free. I thought the game came with different maps and stuff but it only comes with one and all you do is drive in a circle and do the same thing over and over. Definitely not worth $3.99.

### 1/5 — No sound

*2019-07-09, version 1.3*

There is no sound with this app, I’ve tried everything all other apps are opening fine, this app is faulty.

### 1/5 — Disappointing

*2015-03-24, version 1.2*

Very disappointing after Dr. panda's Daycare. Not any where near as much interaction. When you need to get gas or get the bus washed, there is a wait while the scene changes. I expected a lot more after Daycare!
