After being in level two I used some money to add routes. When I added routes it make the font of the amount of money I have really small and added a dash above it. Now I can’t spend any money. The game some how made my money negative ### 3/5 — Glitch *2023-06-25* Its a good game but my money went into …minus?j ### 3/5 — Unlocking levels takes way too long *2022-10-11, version 1.4* The game is fun, but progressing through the levels is painfully slow. The requirements to unlock the next level are very high ($9 million to unlock Level 2 and $25 trillion to unlock Level 3), and a recent update seems to have limited ad bonuses making it even slower to the point where it could take literally weeks of playing to reach the next level. I like the game but it gets boring waiting that long to move on. ### 2/5 — My game save keeps going backwards *2022-09-21, version 1.0* The game is good but I can’t have my save it always bugs out whenever I go back in even if I close it just for a second I lose all my progress I just made makes me sad ### 2/5 — Doesn’t save *2022-09-19, version 0.9* The game itself is pretty fun. I like how they have a ton of different ways that the cars have to PS through to get money. The only problem I have with it is that it doesn’t save. ### 2/5 — Not idle *2022-09-13, version 0.7* Doesn’t continue when app is closed. Also got to 9m and didn’t unlock the new track ### 5/5 — new pieces are awesome *2022-09-12, version 0.7* all the track pieces they added fit in perfect. can’t wait for whats next actually ### 5/5 — Add more car types *2022-09-12, version 0.7* Updates are good but I think the game would be even better with monster trucks, vans, semis etc. I can help you if u need devs. ### 5/5 — Good update *2022-09-10, version 0.5* fixed everything ### 5/5 — Same as the toy *2022-09-08, version 0.3* I just want all my cars in the game now upside down 🙃 ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Eh *2025-09-23, version 1.4* Could be a good game... but I don't know because I can barely play it... I got 3 ads within the first 5 minutes. Immediately deleted it after that. Way too many ads ### 1/5 — Typical. *2025-05-16, version 1.4* It’s the typical forced ad game. No thanks. ### 1/5 — What a waste *2024-08-10, version 1.4* I’ve downloaded this game before but deleted it because I pretty much lost all of my money and more. I spent so much time on the game and saved up enough money to reach the next level, but when I logged in the next day all the money I saved up was converted to the negatives. I was unable to increase my money because of how high the negative number was. Today, redownloaded the game and realized that I do not have offline earnings. This makes reaching the absurd level unlock prices even more unpleasant. This is the worst idle game. How could this be called an idle game if I can’t even gain money while being idle. But the worst problem is the fact that all the money I got was made negative like so. 100 turned into -100 except it was trillions of dollars. I saw someone else recently complain about this same issue but you didn’t respond. ### 1/5 — Too many intrusive ads *2022-10-08, version 1.4* Pop, and there’s another add. Deleted. ### 1/5 — Bad *2022-09-20, version 0.9* All my progress was gone once i closed the app. ### 1/5 — Didn’t save my progress *2022-09-20, version 0.9* After a long time of playing I log in the next day to see that everything was reset and now I have to start all over again should be programmed better to save progress. ### 1/5 — Keeps resetting my score *2022-09-20, version 0.9* Why does it keep resetting my score ### 1/5 — THE WORST *2022-09-18, version 0.9* It’ deletes my progress ### 1/5 — why does this happen *2022-09-17, version 0.9* I leave the app and my progress is lost completely I’m mad about it ### 1/5 — READ *2022-09-15, version 0.8* Worst game I’ve downloaded in a long time. There is 1 track only and you can complete it within a day. Also they show an option to buy next track for 9 million, I got 9 million and it stays locked. There are no more tracks. The main frustrating thing about this game, the game itself is littered with ads and on top of ads all over your screen while playing, you’ll get forced ads as well. Awful awful game, DO NOT DOWNLOAD. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — I have a feeling that you great *2024-05-08, version 1.4* I’m going on the road house ### 5/5 — Bad game *2022-10-07, version 1.4* Very bad game ### 5/5 — Reviews *2022-09-24, version 1.1* I love this game so much ### 5/5 — Cool *2022-09-24, version 1.1* Is kinda boring but good at the same time ### 5/5 — Cool app needs more *2022-09-22, version 1.1* I am writing this review cause it seems like the devs maybe read these? If you aren’t already adding things, please add: a feature to zoom out a bit more to see the whole track, a feature you can pay for like 3 dollars to remove ads, more car types more tracks and more cool income sources on the ball version it’s just all notches but here it’s stuff like sharks this is a cool time waster. For reference Im an adult who just likes tapping the screen at work and the vibration feature makes each click feel nice ### 5/5 — Amazing car game *2022-09-21, version 1.0* The best car game I’ve played. ### 5/5 — Nice Reboot *2022-09-20, version 0.9* I like the way that you brought back Hot Whells it was I nice idea. ### 5/5 — fun car game *2022-09-14, version 0.8* favorite game on ipad ### 5/5 — Fixed *2022-09-12, version 0.7* All problems fixed. Runs flawless. The nos effects look so good as well now ### 5/5 — I will get there… *2022-09-12, version 0.7* idk how people make 9m lol i guess i need to play more --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
