Can you please update the app so it was like version 1.9. I miss getting awarded with gas caps, the blood, and riding with the Junkie, (guy in the motorcycle outfit.) Also the background and the nurse on the next page, and at the before the game started with the motorcycle was driving beside of a tractor trailer, it showed the motorcycle driving in front of the tractor trailer doing a wheelie, saying “Oh Yeah” and the screen said Buckle Up. When the motorcycle wrecked, it listed the broken bones, the the medical expenses. Then the nurse was in the room and the rider was on crutches and in a sling. It showed how many close calls, and the record. Then, it showed menu, or play again, and if you did play again, then the player said, “time to do it again” or “let’s go again” or “nothing can keep me from riding.” I haven’t played this game in a long time, but if you update it again like it was before version 2, like I described, I’ll start playing it again. My favorite version was 1.9.2. Thanks, Marcus ### 3/5 — New version not great *2025-12-30, version 2.4.2* The old version was much better, the old game over screen where the rider is leaving the hospital/police station was better than the “You Crashed” message. Speed Junkie’s new design isn’t good, zombie rider is gone. ### 1/5 — Greed loses customers *2025-12-06, version 2.4.2* This game used to be my favorite mobile game with the rice rocket bike. Now its trash and yhey shove idiot game ads in your face as soon as you doe once. F that. Im not waiting for those stupid ads to end to play another round. I deleted the whole game. So for the douche bags who thought changing it up and stuffing it full of ads would do something for you, no. It lost a long time player for you and hopefully it will lose you a lot more. ### 1/5 — BRING BACK THE OG GAME *2025-12-02, version 2.4.2* This use to me and my cousins favourite game when we were younger, haven’t played it in like 7 years and I had a nostalgic memory the other day and thought I need to find that app again. As soon as I found it and saw the app cover was the same and saw that the warning screen was even the same I was so excited but the second I saw the skin and started playing it genuinely ruined everything for me. Such a simple nostalgic game, why would they ever change it. BRING BACK THE OLD GAME!!! ### 1/5 — Bring the old version! *2025-11-28, version 2.4.2* Too much ads I wish that you can pay for take it off ### 1/5 — Used to be good but now ruined *2025-11-06, version 2.4.2* Back in days this game used to be so much better, with good character and better controls, but now they ruined the whole game with so much annoying ads ### 1/5 — OG was better *2025-11-05, version 2.4.2* you guys need to make it like it was before. new version is a disgrace ### 5/5 — Nostalgia *2025-10-21, version 2.4.2* Tbh I have no idea what the other reviews are saying about then changes the gameplay is the same as I remember it from 10 years ago. Still fun and stupid in a fun way. ### 5/5 — Good *2025-10-16, version 2.4.2* Very nice ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Too many ads *2026-08-07, version 2.4.2* No way ### 1/5 — I'm trying!! *2026-07-25, version 2.4.2* Where in the heck are the controls? All I'm finding is throttle and overy sensitive steering. ### 1/5 — Too many adds *2026-07-19, version 2.4.2* Too many ads and u can’t even buy them off ### 1/5 — I spent money it did not give caps and to meny adds *2026-07-06, version 2.4.2* L game ### 1/5 — Where is my gas caps *2026-04-20, version 2.4.2* I just spent $6 on this game and it don’t give me my gas caps I need refund now ### 1/5 — Still missing updated iPad graphics *2026-03-15, version 2.4.2* Update March 2026: The turning controls are now reversed, with no way to change them, so if you turn to the right, you actually go left. And the amount, type, and length of adds is really bad. Review update for version 1.8.4: Most of the crashes on iOS 8 devices when collecting mPoints have been fixed. However, the updated graphics introduced last year still don't appear on iPad (not even the Flashing Hazard Lights from this 1.8.3 appear on iPad) -even the new iPad Air 2 is still using the old graphics! I would give it 5 stars if they implemented the new graphics on iPad and offered an in-app purchase to remove the advertisements for a dollar or two. Currently, the advertisments pop up during menu transitions and start playing videos, and they appear on top of the mPoints pop-ups. I've sent emails to their tech support months ago (which was difficult with their slow website) with no response. (update: their website seems pretty quick now) ### 1/5 — Highway Rider *2025-12-26, version 2.4.2* Matthew ### 1/5 — Used to be a fun *2025-12-23, version 2.4.2* Now so much ads and not even fun ### 1/5 — Bring back the old version *2025-12-11, version 2.4.2* The physics mimic what it feels like to ride a bike in your dreams.
