I remember playing this game on my DS and it was so good now I have the full game on my iPad and the game is still good as it was years ago, seriously, this game is flawless and if you are thinking about getting this game, just buy it and you’ll have the time of your life. ### 3/5 — Kauf *2026-03-10* Ich persönlich finde das Spiel sehr gut ein wirklich gutes Spiel. Besonders für Mobile Games ist das ein sehr sehr tolles Spiel und die story ist auch super was mich aber stört ist, dass man leider nur 30 Minuten spielen kann und dann bezahlen muss. Ich dachte nämlich, dass wir ein kostenloses Spiel, bis ich bemerkt habe. Es ist kein kostenloses Spiel. Klar weiß ich dass das schwierig ist kostenlos zu machen aber ich hoffe das kann beheben werden und jeder kann es dann gratis spielen. ### 4/5 — GTA avis *2026-02-22* On vrai le jeux et bien mais il et payant c’est dommage car don certain iPhone il et gratuit 😫 ### 4/5 — 改善してほしい *2026-02-17* 1.ゲーム内には言語設定がありません。 2. ハンドルのジョイスティックは人物の動きをコントロールできないが、運転はできる。 3.ログイン後にクラウド保存ができません ### 3/5 — Missing Apple TV + Controller support *2026-01-28, version 4.5.9* All the iOS games available from Rockstar are outdated. If only there was support for Apple TV and modern gaming controllers for all GTA games and Bully game on iOS ### 5/5 — Bike can’t do stoppie *2026-01-27, version 4.5.9* To perform a stoppie, I need press and hold the left dialog stick forward to stand on the bike then brake. But the dialog stick in ios version is can't be push forward. ### 5/5 — CONTROLLER SUPPORT *2026-01-11, version 4.5.9* Wish the controls for this game on controller were more streamlined, very happy I get to play this game on my phone now though. Best drug dealing system of all gta game imo. ### 3/5 — It works, just not great *2025-12-20, version 4.5.9* Im on the latest MacBook Pro and it works. Even with controller. Just no in game settings to adjust resolution/graphics/controls etc. It actually is better on an iPhone though. It works but like I said not great. I feel like there are better ways to play this if you were thinking about it solely for Mac. I already had it on iPhone years ago just was playing again , this should only be bought on a good sale. Don’t pay full price ### 3/5 — Add Back Controller Support *2025-12-17, version 4.5.9* It’s not a bad game at all back in 2024 the latest update that’s came out where it broke controller support and doesn’t remove mobile controls when using controller also you can’t perform the following actions Can’t use Throwable’s Can’t do a flying kick Can’t do open weapon inventory unless it’s meant to be like this I think you need to fix it ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — ??? *2026-05-09, version 4.5.9* mua game rồi đổi sang máy khác bắt mua lại là sao ### 1/5 — Laggy slop on Mac *2026-04-10, version 4.5.9* You can get this game on Mac through other means and its a better version ### 1/5 — I can’t even play it *2026-03-30, version 4.5.9* So I’m a massive grand theft auto fan, but when i downloaded this I expected to play GTA: Chinatown wars, but I was greeted by a GTA+ screen. I’m not hating on it I just think maybe you should put it in the description that you need GTA+ please reach out rockstar and remember I’m not hating I love the games and the community, but just for the love of god put it in your description next time. ### 1/5 — Can’t select throwables *2026-03-12, version 4.5.9* There’s an early mission that requires molotovs and there’s a glitch that won’t allow it to be selected so I can’t move past this mission or play the game ### 1/5 — Billp *2026-03-02, version 4.5.9* Game đoé chơi dc ### 1/5 — FPS drops on IpadOs 26 *2026-02-01, version 4.5.9* I was playing the game perfectly before updating my Ipad to IpadOs 26. However, after the 26 update, the fps drops significantly and it is hard to fully play the game ### 1/5 — 有料再インストール *2026-01-23* 数年前購入とはいえ再インストールにまた金払って買えと？さすがC国ウォーズですね **Developer response:** この問題を解決するお手伝いをいたします。こちらからチケットを作成してください： http://rsg.ms/support ### 1/5 — Glitch!!! *2026-01-11, version 4.5.9* I was enjoying playing a game until I got to the mission steal the show. The truck keeps getting caught at a building. You can’t aim to throw the crate so it’s already dimmer impossible to beat the mission. I purchased this game and now I can’t even enjoy it. I’m playing on my iPad by the way like is there something that could be done to stop the truck from getting caught at one of the buildings I’ll probably try this mission at least 20+ times at this rate I might as well just uninstall and see if I can get my money back. ### 1/5 — Can’t recover cloudsave *2025-12-16, version 4.5.9* Can’t recover cloudsave after uninstalling ### 1/5 — Hạn *2025-12-14, version 4.5.9* Chơi 30 ph thò chán quá ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Best mobile game ever *2026-07-24, version 4.5.9* This is simply the best mobile game I have ever played. It’s more than that. It’s a real, full game with compelling characters and storytelling, a great setting, and intricate mechanics. 10/10. ### 5/5 — Perfect for a pocket gta game *2026-07-22, version 4.5.9* Full healthy free speech enjoyable 10/10 WOULD BUY AGAIN ### 5/5 — GOATED GAME *2026-06-26, version 4.5.9* Top 3 gta games oat ### 5/5 — More languages please!!! *2026-05-16, version 4.5.9* Hello Rockstar! I love your games, especially the GTA series, but I have one problem: could you add more languages ​​to your games? For example: Russian, Belarusian, Chinese, etc. This would be an ideal solution on your part, as more players would want to buy your games, since not everyone is comfortable using them in a language they don't speak. Please add ports of old games like GTA 3, CTW, and Max Payne. ### 5/5 — Perfect *2026-05-14, version 4.5.9* Wish there were more games like this ### 5/5 — Love this game on iphone 17 pro *2026-05-10, version 4.5.9* Game is good and runs well on my new iphone its very cool to see a gta game on mobile wish gta v was on here like it got treated for like red dead. ### 5/5 — Its alright *2026-04-14, version 4.5.9* But it would be better if you can fix the audio glitch that it has cause you go into menu and settings the audio goes to zerio cant here nothing thanks ### 5/5 — Great Game *2026-04-03, version 4.5.9* Great little mobile game of gta on the go would recommend 👍 ### 5/5 — Good game *2026-03-22, version 4.5.9* Good game ### 5/5 — Класно *2026-03-04, version 4.5.9* Отличная игра я обожаю гта двух видов: новый который показывается от третьего лица такие как gta5, 4, San Andreas;так и с видом сверху gta 1,2,cw. Мне кажется что эта игра лучше чем первая и вторая часть. Не знаю почему она не зашла всем, но для меня это очень крутая игра. Я понимаю что если бы эта часть захайповала то вы сделали бы подобные части. Кстати предлагаю вам свою идею сделать в gta6 dls (дополнение как в gta 4)где будет вид сверху как в gta Chinatown wars. Я очень надеюсь что вы задумаетесь над этим фактом. Короче игра классная обязательно поиграю в полную версию. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
