Everytime I try to resume game or load from the last saved point the app just kicks you out. Now the only way round it is to start from the beginning. ### 5/5 — Obviously great game *2026-08-04, version 1.5* I’ve been play grand theft auto since 2002, across all platforms. I bought this game over 13 years ago now and I enjoy the mobile port. It makes time go by a lot faster than doing tasks around like laundry and so on and so forth only problem I have to complain about is the camera. Some of the missions are a little more difficult on here because of the camera problem but the controller support is absolutely great and makes the game seamless transition when coming from consoles ### 5/5 — I like this game *2026-08-03, version 1.5* Best game ever ### 5/5 — Great game and I hope GTA 6 is just the same as the others with amazing stories *2026-08-02, version 1.5* I love the game but if rockstar makes a remaster version where it makes the old gta games with the same graphics as gta 4 or gta 5 it could bring a lot of old veterans back and new players play the game all over with the amazing story of the gta games. I just hope gta 6 will only be great like the other games and even the future of gta ### 5/5 — Good game *2026-07-28, version 1.5* Worth buying ### 4/5 — Great but controls need to improve *2026-07-22, version 1.5* Love the game but I find the controls a lil hard to control, I use a ps4 controller to pay and makes it play allot better but unfortunately the shooting mechanics aren’t good it locks onto anything and everything and makes it hard to complete missions ### 5/5 — Flashback to memory lane *2026-07-18, version 1.5* So fun so far, very nostalgic & very funny with the radio stations. ### 3/5 — PLEASE UPDATE *2026-07-13, version 1.5* Please add keyboard support ### 5/5 — GTA III *2026-07-10, version 1.5* best game, thanks ### 5/5 — Amazing one *2026-07-05, version 1.5* A great one ### 5/5 — Nostalgia? Or it’s really peak *2026-06-30, version 1.5* This is honestly one of the greatest games I’ve ever played, alongside the other GTA titles. It’s an absolute masterpiece. I’ve always preferred Rockstar’s classic games, especially the Grand Theft Auto series. The older entries—particularly this one—are truly incredible. The gangs, such as the Leones, Forellis, Diablos, and many others, gave the game so much personality. We didn’t really get that feeling in GTA V, and hopefully GTA VI brings it back. While the gameplay can’t compete with GTA V because of its age, the story, the gangs, and the world perfectly capture what Grand Theft Auto is all about. I also hope Rockstar releases an update for the iPhone version to add Social Club support. Finally, thank you, Rockstar Games, for bringing us the Definitive Edition of these classic titles. ### 3/5 — It’s great but… *2026-06-26, version 1.5* Love the game but now it won’t let me continue to play. Every time I open the game, as soon as it loads it takes me back to my homepage on my phone. Please fix this issue. If I delete and reinstall I lose all my progress. Without even knowing this won’t happen again when I reach this level (“rumble” is the mission) I reached before this issue occurred ### 5/5 — Runs very smooth and i like it alot already *2026-06-25, version 1.5* Its very fun and the story is interesting even though its not as engaging as the other ones but still fun ### 5/5 — I hate this game *2026-06-22, version 1.5* Why are the missions stupid hard ### 5/5 — ❤️ *2026-06-21, version 1.5* GTA is my all time favorite game and this one is totally worth the money if your playing on your phone ### 3/5 — 语言不够丰富 *2026-06-20, version 1.5* 希望能添加中文的选项 ### 5/5 — Such a good game *2026-06-18, version 1.5* As the first good gta I can now put it in my pocket (FIX THE CAMERA) ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — 니가몬데평가하라마라야 *2026-08-03, version 1.5* 1점던진다 ### 1/5 — Awful gameplay *2026-07-24, version 1.5* Constant freezing & glitching don’t bother with this it’s awful ### 1/5 — I need Russian subtitles *2026-07-07, version 1.5* We need Russian subtitles !!!!!!!!! Right now ### 1/5 — Crashes *2026-06-14, version 1.5* Game continuously crashes and has got to the point it won’t load before crashing back to my homepage. Device and app resets don’t help. ### 1/5 — fps *2026-06-13, version 1.5* 20 fps for iPhone 17 pro max ### 1/5 — Repugnant car glitch *2026-03-16, version 1.5* All cars go left aggressively no matter how i steer and i shouldnt have to put up with this in a paid game ### 1/5 — Bad driving camera view *2025-11-26, version 1.5* The game is great but for some reason the camera view while for your driving is really bad, its zoomed it to the point where you can’t see the back windshield or the trunk. When you adjust the different camera view, their all bad. Why aren’t the driving camera view like Vice city or San Andreas? Where I can see the whole car not just hang. It needs a fov slider or something. ### 1/5 — Lag *2025-11-24, version 1.5* When the game starts loading the game crashes ### 1/5 — Crashes is you use Siri *2025-10-22, version 1.5* Used Siri during the game then was asked to review kept kicking me out. On marked man mission it asks me to save wether I say yes or no it’ll take me to the elevator ### 1/5 — Sloppy work from the creators *2025-09-12, version 1.5* Yeah I understand, this is an iconic classic masterpiece. On ps and pc… This version unfortunately keeps crashing, your car isn’t saved in garages etc. still nice try but you had 14 years to fix this. Now I would rate it 3 stars but no one reads a 3 star rating. Therefore I must give a single one. :( ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — A true classic *2026-09-07, version 1.5* Thank you Rockstar for many years of fun and memories ### 5/5 — GTA iii mon jeu préféré *2026-09-05, version 1.5* Jeu divertissant et nostalgique même si certaines missions me fatiguent ### 5/5 — So much nostalgia *2026-09-04, version 1.5* 10/10 no matter what cuz i loved playing this back on my PS3 best day/ nostalgic day i ever had so many Memories ### 5/5 — This is an extremely fun and addicting game *2026-09-01, version 1.5* I kept begging my mom to get this game for me And she finally said yes, and when I played it I just found my new favorite game and it was this People should play games like this not like Roblox or other popular stuff this is so underrated ### 5/5 — Игру хорошо сделали *2026-08-26, version 1.5* На радио Flashback играют крутейшие песни из саундтрека к фильму Scarface, а на радио Lips 106 играет одна из любимых песен в гта Bump to the Music, которая ещё играет на телефоне франклина когда ему звонят ### 5/5 — Masterpiece *2026-08-25, version 1.5* Amazing game ### 5/5 — This is the best *2026-08-20, version 1.5* I been playing this for 1 year and Im loving it, fun fact it more fun with a controller ### 5/5 — Love this game *2026-08-19, version 1.5* I gonna play this forever, cause it is the best songgame ### 5/5 — Love it *2026-08-15, version 1.5* As an 11 year-old with GTA V this is overall a pretty good 3-D game. I also have a gaming console that has GTA two and over all these games are just so fun and I just really like this game. It’s very like fun and retro and it’s just very nostalgic. ### 5/5 — Игру хорошо сделали *2026-08-15, version 1.5* Крутая игра для первой в серии 3д игрой с хорошим и незамысловатым сюжетом, отличными радиостанциями, большим городом и довольно сложными миссиями (миссию kingdom come прошел с 5 попытки). Управление удобное и его можно перенастроить, добавили в игру карту (её не хватало в пк версии) улучшили и сделали модели персонажей цельными (а не те модели что на пк выглядели как конструктор и разваливались на куски) некоторые текстуры сделали в более лучшем качестве, улучшили модели многих машин и т.д. Но у игры есть и минуты: в интернет кафе многие текстуры сломаны (а еще убрали отсылку на гта 2, ее можно было увидеть если посмотреть на экран компьютера) некоторые текстуры стали синими (конусы, деревья, лужи), зачастую не удобная камера и плохо работающий автоприцел --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
