### 3/5 — At a not working

*2026-08-28, version 10.2.3*

Arca cars and the climb not working

### 2/5 — So Much Wasted Potential

*2026-08-10, version 10.2.3*

This game reminds me a little bit of retro bowl, with the classic arcade style theme. But they haven’t put any care into the interface or quality of life features. I also cannot play the climb, it gets stuck on the loading screen of lap 499/500 on the very first race.

### 4/5 — Could be Better

*2026-07-22, version 10.2.3*

Awesome Game but the Climb, probably the best part of the game is bugged. You race on lap 499/500 forever … I played it many times and nothing happened so I let it run for 24 hours and it did nothing stayed on lap 499 forever. I thought maybe it was a test because NASCAR can be long but nahh it’s just broken. I’d love to start from the bottom and do a career/Season work my way up to greatness but it don’t work. Other than that great gameplay.

### 4/5 — ARCA 25

*2026-07-20, version 10.2.3*

ARCA 25 doesn’t  work and the only 26 is cup series 26

### 4/5 — For NASCAR Fans

*2026-07-17, version 10.2.3*

Really good you can tell the guy who developed this cares a lot about his game and the players. Not only that but you can tell this guy is an actual NASCAR fan too so that’s cool.

### 3/5 — Climb dont work

*2026-07-14, version 10.2.3*

I saw another rating about it its been a few months since then but the climb still just makes me run in circles on lap 499 with red/black 37 car endlessly when will this get fixed

### 4/5 — The Climb

*2026-07-09, version 10.2.3*

Every time I try to start the climb it always keeps me stuck on the Daytona 500 on lap 499/500 and doesn’t let me progress, other then that game is amazing and i need to know how to fix the climb thing

### 4/5 — Expanding for more modes

*2026-07-04, version 10.2.3*

It would be nice to have a commissioner styled mode because sometimes it gets boring being the racer because if you get great at the game it’s more about just holding first place for the rest of the game I know this game unlocks cars based on progression so that’s why I think maybe it would be fine to add but have it locked until they unlock enough racers or just make their own custom cars if that’s possible

### 3/5 — Good game could be better

*2026-06-26, version 10.2.3*

Good game could be better and the climb is bugged it says 499/501 laps and it doesn’t change please fix this

### 3/5 — Please Fix this game

*2026-06-14, version 10.2.3*

I love this game to kill time and really wanted to check out the climb after not playing for a while. I have redownloaded and even created a new account and can’t get out of the 499/500 laps glitch

### 3/5 — It’s good but has big issues

*2026-06-12, version 10.2.3*

This game is very very addicting and it is fun if you are a nascar fan, but there are some issues. The first things are things that just don’t work. Career mode literally dosent work. The mods for cars were super fun but it stopped working and removed them from my garage. And it is a little challenging to get lots of cash and gears in a race. But it is very fun. Also they should add road courses.

### 4/5 — Mods

*2026-06-09, version 10.2.3*

Modding doesn’t work on iOS

### 4/5 — Fix the climb!!!

*2026-06-03, version 10.2.3*

Love this game, however the climb is bugged. Really would love to play this game mode. Please

### 4/5 — Awesome game, I think

*2026-06-01, version 10.2.3*

Upon first impression it seems looks and feels like a great game. But after entering the climb career mode and attempting to start the first race, it just goes to the track and a single car making laps as if it’s stuck in qualifying or something. Fix this and it’s easily 5 stars lads

### 4/5 — Can u pls fix “The Climb”

*2026-05-29, version 10.2.3*

Every time i try to play the climb the game keeps going to the 37 car driving around the track all by itself with no controls. but i love this game but can u pls fix the climb pls

### 3/5 — Why did they make modding cost money?

*2026-05-25, version 10.2.3*

I was having so much fun modding until they made it a paid purchase. Very disappointed

### 4/5 — Love the Game but The Climb seems to be busted

*2026-05-24, version 10.2.3*

I suppose it’s not just The Climb, but ARCA as a whole. Just loads a single car ripping around Daytona. Can’t control or reset it. Any fixes?

### 3/5 — The climb

*2026-05-07, version 10.2.3*

Day 9 waiting to forget about this game for a few months to come back to the climb and seeing it works

### 4/5 — Fix The Climb

*2026-05-03, version 10.2.3*

Great overall game, graphics nice, raging is great, just the one thing that bugs me is that the climb is glitched. Whenever I start the race I’m suck in a black 37 car on lap 499 out of 500. 


Plz fix this

### 4/5 — Amazing game but…

*2026-04-12, version 10.2.3*

The ARCA series doesn’t work. It sends me to Daytona with one car, not even a car I have, I’m assuming it’s being worked on but I just wanted to make sure you knew.

### 3/5 — The climb

*2026-04-12, version 10.2.3*

It’s a fun idea but once I go signed to Xfinity the game broke. I was the only car, and there was an indefinite amount of laps. I keep having to delete and redownload the game every time this happens (which is often)

## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated)

### 1/5 — What happened?

*2026-07-15, version 10.2.3*

Game is a buggy mess. The climb doesn’t work, and half the time the races don’t save. Took off too much you could chew and won’t fix it.

### 1/5 — Retire

*2026-05-28, version 10.2.3*

Joshua Duffety-Wong. You do not know how to develop a true game that isn’t impossible to play, glitched out of its mind, and very inconsistent. Might be time to call it a career when it comes to game development.

### 1/5 — Bruh

*2026-04-20, version 10.2.3*

I can’t even play the climb because I’m stuck on a loading screen did we even try…

### 1/5 — Please Fix

*2026-03-31, version 10.2.3*

Love this game, but please fix the bug on the climb where it loads into Daytona with the 37 car running infinite laps. Thanks.

### 1/5 — FIX HOW THE AI WORKS

*2026-02-16, version 10.1.2*

LET ME PUSH THE AI CARS

### 1/5 — Good game but…

*2026-01-07, version 10.0.4*

This is a good and fun game, but there is 0 customer support. My account got deleted and I’ve been trying to have it restored but there’s no one to reach out to. The discord does not work. If I could get my account back I would give it 5 stars

### 1/5 — FIX HOW THE AI WORKS

*2025-09-10, version 9.3.2*

i will come back to this game when it is updated fix how the ai works, stop them from jumping out of line to save another falling car for absolutely no reason, make it so i can push somebody, make it so that the ai knows how to go faster. its just a bunch of mindless lane changing and not being able to do anything because nobody can figure out how to push you or be pushed also? why is starting on the front lane an disadvantage? people refuse to push you and your just falling back to 15th
AND DONT YOU DARE DELETE MY REVIEW HAHAAAA

### 1/5 — blows

*2025-06-01, version 9.2.2*

game blows

### 1/5 — Data from different devices doesnt sync

*2025-01-24, version 8.5.1*

Im logged into the same account and it just won’t sync.

### 1/5 — Ruined

*2024-12-09, version 8.4.1*

They ruined this stupid game because now all of a sudden your engine blows whenever you push somebody, and you can’t pass anybody when you’re not bump drafting, very dumb addition to what is supposed to be a fun game

## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated)

### 5/5 — Amazing game

*2026-08-01, version 10.2.3*

Only issue is for the climb (the career mode) once you load in you get stuck as the black 37 car and on lap 499 of 500 and the car just infinity around the track would be nice to be patched

### 5/5 — Love the game/one fix needed ASAP!

*2026-07-03, version 10.2.3*

even after using the settings reset and a clean install, the lap 499 Daytona soft-lock is still happening.

### 5/5 — I need help with the climb

*2026-06-21, version 10.2.3*

I am an iPad player stuck on ARCA Series Race 1 in The Climb. Standard races work fine, but career mode loads with zero AI cars and frozen stats. Please manually advance my profile save string to Race 2 so I do not lose my unlocked cars or gear currency.

### 5/5 — I want The Climb mode

*2026-06-08, version 10.2.3*

Personally, I’m a huge career mode guy, and it’s upsetting that “The Climb” mode doesn’t work.
The game is still fun, but it could be better

Please read. Thank you!!

### 5/5 — ADD RC

*2026-06-04, version 10.2.3*

Add rc like Daytona rc glen sonoma whatever it’s called yk so PLS ADD IT

### 5/5 — NASCAR fan fan game

*2026-05-17, version 10.2.3*

This game is awesome. It’s everything I want in a NASCAR game as a die hard NASCAR fan. I just wish there was a feature where you could just watch replays of races previously raced. Overall, Awesome game guys!

### 5/5 — Awesome

*2026-04-01, version 10.2.3*

Great game but unfortunately some features dont work like the climb

### 5/5 — Great sequel

*2026-03-27, version 10.2.3*

Hello Josh I have been here since Draftmaster 1 I started in 2017 this game is awesome but something I always wanted was a way to dodge the wrecks please try and work on this if possible

### 5/5 — Amazing but some features don’t work

*2026-03-24, version 10.2.3*

Awesome gameplay love it, but for me The Climb is bugged. I start it, select a team and load into Daytona where I am then stuck on lap 499 of 500 with a black 37 car that runs laps around Daytona indefinitely with it saying loading in the top left. Certain inputs work like the lift and minimize buttons for the top rocker. But others don’t like the left and right. But if there’s a fix for this then really is my favorite game.

### 5/5 — Best game in the app store

*2026-03-22, version 10.2.3*

Sure bump drafting works but the engine heats up and you eventually have to stop
