### 4/5 — PLEASE update the game

*2026-01-07, version 1.4.1*

I really like the game I just wish it was updated to fit new phones and maybe a speed selection or more variety

### 4/5 — Awesome

*2017-08-13, version 1.1*

It really fun

### 4/5 — This is great

*2017-08-06, version 1.1*

U actually listen to the feedback. This is great! Now I can use my coins for something . But one problem with the game, why every car has same speed, not just speed but every car looks same except the design. Why?    AND one more, why every vehicle is a car? Why can't be a motto bike, taxi or heavy vehicle.... Just asking!!!!! 

Anywhere, everything looks so good! 
Ps: I am only giving this feedback because it's different to other games. 

Thanks 

Keep making great games! (Developers)✌️😀😉

### 1/5 — Love it

*2018-03-25, version 1.3*

Love your game

### 1/5 — TOO MANY ADDS

*2017-04-20, version 1.0.1*

they are helpful so you can keep going after the first time you die but after every session is bad. i say it's fun but too many ads. like calm down

### 1/5 — Ads

*2017-03-30, version 1.0.1*

I don't like how there are so many ads, especially the ones you can't skip, making me closing and reopening the game. And I hate when it offers to play a video to continue and I say no, but it plays an ad anyways.

### 1/5 — Boring and bad quality

*2017-03-26*

This game has a blatant disregard for making there buyers happy and wether it is a good game or not 😡😡😡😡😡 I expect better updates in the future.

**Developer response:** Hi Ñôÿtįçø! Thank you for honest feedback! I will add more features in next updates!

### 1/5 — Very laggy

*2017-03-26, version 1.0*

Not very fun when the game lags every second

### 1/5 — Unplayable

*2017-03-24, version 1.0*

The game is so unbelievably laggy, you can't even control it. On iPhone 5s by the way.

### 2/5 — Love fast drive

*2017-11-12*

Hi . I am writing this review about fast drive I just want to say something fast drive can improve I think fast five should improve no more adverts because people will get bored of the advert and then give up because they are hardly playing the game  .  and now I am writing about a good review ! IT IS AWOME but still change a few things ok . Thank you

### 2/5 — Drive Fast, Lose Interest Even Faster.

*2017-03-24, version 1.0*

Quite stupid, I felt. The difficulty is not skill based. The visibility of what is ahead is limited to about the top quarter or less. So, if your reactions are fast, you MAY avoid pranging, but otherwise, you just keep on re-start after re-start. I would much prefer to have the extra visibility, and be required to have greater skill to change lanes.

### 2/5 — Interesting but....

*2017-03-24, version 1.0*

I first downloaded the game thinking it would be a cool arcade driver where you compete against your high score to get more cars and paints. I soon found that the game was way too challenging to get past 6 points. It was also way too fast and should have a system where it starts out slow and begins to progress. If you add these things and some nice content I think it has great potential.

### 5/5 — Good game

*2019-01-03, version 1.4.1*

I like it!!

### 5/5 — Everything it's meant to be

*2018-09-16, version 1.4.1*

All the reviews here are about a year old, so I'll chip in a recent review. 

My first arcade game about 40 years ago was a racer - turn the wheel to move the mechanical (yes) car from lane to lane while a reel of oncoming vehicles scrolls down towards you. Addictive then and you might think boring now - but this app shows you can take a modern spin on an old racer. 

Yes, this game is as simple as left and right, but with its rocking soundtrack, lightning fast lane changes, variable traffic and other distractions, there is some satisfaction in knocking over the levels. Crashes make you just laugh at how crazy it was you crashed but you want to keep coming back for more. 

Think Crossy Road, think Frogger and you get the idea for how this game plays - except it's faster and you dodge the oncoming traffic. I can imagine the game play getting more and more complex and there's opportunity to keep enhancing this game - but for what it is, and hey, it's even free, this wins as a retro rebuild that captures the simplicity and fun of a top-down 2D racer. Five stars.

### 5/5 — Lots of fun and Challenge

*2018-08-05, version 1.4.1*
