Also you should get to choose which district is yours so you always start in that district. Also just make the characters look like the real people, I can't even tell which one is Katniss. Last but not least, please get rid of the ADS!! Please write me back to let me know what you think!! :) ### 4/5 — Would be five stars but... *2016-04-17, version 1.0.21* It is an amazing game with a pretty good idea going except it gets kinda boring after a while. You only can go to the same couple of districts over and over again. If you add all the district it will make the game more engaging and more fun. Please listen for I would love to go to all the districts! ### 4/5 — Good game *2016-01-31, version 1.0.21* I love the hunger games it is my favorite movies and books.I used to pretend like I was in the hunger games when I was 9 years old the game is good but it glitches way to much ### 4/5 — ❤️ *2015-12-08, version 1.0.21* This is a really fun app. I would like more Districts to run through though. It would also be nice if we could choose a character from the movies to be our avatar. Other than that, I love it! ### 4/5 — It's good but... *2015-11-17, version 1.0.21* I like this app and the Hunger Games, but it's weird only having 3 districts. I think it should get some more updates and chose male or female before you run. ### 4/5 — Ads popping up in the middle of my game *2015-11-08, version 1.0.21* Why are there only 3 districts? I don't really get why there are special arrows. I would like to be able to pick my avatar ### 5/5 — Love It!! *2015-09-22, version 1.0.21* True it gets tiring to keep running without a means of killing (or even slowing down) the guys chasing me but the game does keep my brain pretty active and alert. I find it exciting! ### 4/5 — NEED TO ADD MORE DISTRICTS! *2015-08-15, version 1.0.21* It's a good game. Except for the fact that you can only play in 3 districts. District 12, 4, and 5. I would like to be able to run through ALL the districts and maybe even the Capitol. ### 5/5 — I love it! *2015-07-28, version 1.0.21* I love it but the only thing bad about it is it only lets me run once and when I try to run again it won't let me ### 4/5 — Needs More Districts *2015-05-29, version 1.0.21* This game is great. The only one of the tokens I haven't been able to get is the one with two people on it. The three districts are getting more difficult the longer I "live". But the three (4,5, and 12) are getting old real fast. Please, add new districts! I'd LOVE to run through the Capitol or even add a hunting level in. :-) ### 4/5 — Fun . . . But. *2015-05-13, version 1.0.21* This is a really fun game but there are so many adds and at the end of every run it takes me back to my home page. Don't get me wrong it's a really fun running game just to many adds. If they fix that and the taking me back to my home page it will be great. ### 4/5 — Good just... *2015-05-10, version 1.0.21* It needs less adds, more districts, and make you able to choose what your character will look like. Also make sure the crafted arrows can be saved cause I wanna save up my katniss arrows ### 3/5 — I love this game and want to play it more often. *2015-04-17, version 1.0.21* I love the Hunger Games and this game but I don't like to play it that much and I would prefer subway surfers. It's not that I don't like this game but when I try to move from lane to lane or jump it won't work I struggle to get a single movement, but subway surfers don't do that at all. Other than that the game is perfect! ### 4/5 — Good but to many bugs! *2015-04-09, version 1.0.21* I love this app and all but after every run the screen goes black then back to your home screen!!! The app is the funnest app ever if you don't mind what i typed above i strongly encorage you to get this ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Too many ads make it unplayable *2015-05-27, version 1.0.21* This would be a fun game if there weren't ads popping up every time you try to go to a new screen. To go from a recent run to the upgrade screen can have 3 or 4 ads to get through in order to get there, and sometimes there are two right after each other. I can understand a pop up ad every once in awhile, but the amount forced on us for a game that also offers the ability to purchase coins or watch more ads for coins, the sheer amount is ridiculous. Don't waste your time on this one. ### 1/5 — Bad Clone of Temple Run *2014-12-23, version 1.0.21* I wanted to like this game because I loved Temple Run (same game). The Good: Interesting idea to collect goods while running. The Bad: This game however is full of ads that sometimes even popup on top of each other. Every so often you’ll get “transferred” to your web browser (kicked out of the app) after missing the ‘x’ . Everything is the wrong size: large buttons, all space is filled, etc. The opposite of Japanese simplicity (or Chinese’s Feng shui, or Apple’s designs). The “flames” are 2d graphics put in a 3d environment. Terrible texture usage! Knocked down one more star for this. ### 1/5 — This game is AWFUL! *2014-12-17, version 1.0.21* I have tried downloading it and redownloading it SO many times! At first it told me I didn't have enough storage so I deleted a couple of games. After that it still told me I didn't have enough storage, so I had to delete ALL my games because of this stupid one. And if that's not the worst part, I logged into it, and it crashed immediately! And it keeps doing it! I am so done with this game. If I could give it 0 stars, I would. ### 2/5 — No different than temple run. ads!!! *2015-08-23, version 1.0.21* First thing to note is the horrible amount of ads. I think I played for about 10 minutes and experienced more than 10 pop up ads. Also. It's no different than Temple Run. More confusing than TR actually. ### 2/5 — Two-star worthy, but... *2015-05-22, version 1.0.21* Get rid of the freakin' ads!! AAARRRGGGHHH...! If I want any of those other games, I'd buy them. However, I'm trying to play this game, and when I'm interrupted by pointless, repetitive, obnoxious, stupid ads, I don't want to play! Another thing, for those of us who don't usually play running gams, can you put in like, a training arena or something t help build up skills? Dang! I can't keep up, and keep smacking into things and dying! Maybe slow down the play a tad so that I can get the hang of it. Going that fast only causes me to hyperventilate! Slow it down, some, or at least provide us a way to learn the movements.I prefer RPGs, but thought I'd try something different. Now I know why I don't do racing or running games. You expect too much of some of us. ### 2/5 — Ad Frustrating *2015-05-16, version 1.0.21* This is a basic running game. Slide left and right to move; slide up to jump and down to slide. Like I said basic. I wrote this same review for the Maze Runner game, and for this game it is even harder as I am a fan of the Hunger Game franchise. The frustrating thing about this game are all the ads. Not very professional. To the producers (not necessarily the developers as they may not have had a choice): adding ads to this game was a poor choice and not very professional. You will get your money from: 1) People buying coins for upgrades or to speed up upgrade time 2) People choosing to watch ads to gain more coins 3) and The publicity for the movies and books. Why put in forced ads as well? There are many other games out there with a similar premise as this that don't have ads. And they aren't representing a franchise. In my humble (but marketing and advertising experienced opinion), ads were a poor call on your part. Because of the initial 5 minute experience of ad frustration, this game will now be deleted and definitely not recommended to friends. ### 2/5 — Good but TOO MANY ADS you can't opt out of!!! *2015-02-14, version 1.0.21* I absolutely HATE all the ads. They are too numerous. You have to wait for the "x" to close them - twice! As if once wasn't bad enough. I went to options to see if I could opt out of the ads, but that wasn't an option! Who has ads in an app and doesn't let you opt out? It's ridiculous!!! ### 2/5 — Commercials...ugh *2015-01-17, version 1.0.21* I understand that this is a free game and all, but there are times when I'm in the the middle of a run and a commercial will pop up. It's frustrating when you're playing the game and you automatically die because they want you to buy some other game! ### 3/5 — Just like temple run, but with more adds 👎🏼 *2016-04-21, version 1.0.21* I was not expecting this, I wanted better. When you hit female it doesn't even look like Katniss! She has brown hair not blonde! It's basically like temple run.😩 if you don't like temple run don't get this. It's just like it!!!!!! And the adds,The adds!!! So much, when you die, and random times.... If you like the Hunger Games DONT get this👏🏻 ### 3/5 — Great game, but ads need to stop! *2015-04-21, version 1.0.21* There are minor glitches, but the main issue is the ads. Some ads are okay, but sometimes they pop up in the middle of my run and I loose. This is very aggravating. And after every run I get an ad. It's very annoying and needs to be fixed. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Please update! *2022-12-16, version 1.0.21* I love this game but it doesn’t work for iOS 13 and newer. I can’t play it ### 5/5 — Update *2020-09-07, version 1.0.21* I love this game but the person needs to update this game so i can download this game on my phone because it won’t let me or then that its a awesome game ### 5/5 — Update to iOS 11 *2019-05-04, version 1.0.21* I remember playing this game on my iPhone 3GS. It was so fun and I’d love to play again if it was offered for anything past iOS 11. ### 5/5 — I have played before but *2018-07-08, version 1.0.21* So I have played the game before but they need to update the app because I cannot get it. ### 5/5 — 🏹🖤💣🔪🗡⚔️🔫 *2017-08-22, version 1.0.21* I enjoy the game. It's nice for taking boredom. I have a suggestion though (well more like 3) 1) less ads 2) have each district represent something for example seven is where u would get wood and three would be where u would get technological thing to build something which gets me to the third thing. Being able to creat things like weapons to break through things and get arrows and armor also can u update this so it works for iOS 11 ### 5/5 — I love it! It's unique *2017-08-08, version 1.0.21* Some people may say that it's like temple run, or subway surfers, but it's not, it's unique. You are chased by tracker jackers while collecting items like wood and flowers to craft bows to fire at oncoming targets. ### 5/5 — Hunger games fans *2016-06-27, version 1.0.21* This is the best game ever it is a little like the hunger games but you aren't fighting people you are just running from tracker jackers "May the odds ever be in your favor " ### 5/5 — Plz read if you can *2016-05-09, version 1.0.21* The adds are not that bad I mean they're just pic adds what's so bad about that ### 5/5 — Supper fun!!!😄 *2015-12-05, version 1.0.21* Really fun it's kinda like temple run and temple run 2 but it has a lot more things to do you get 3 power ups each run and you can upgrade the power up and you can craft special arrows that give you more points ### 5/5 — It's all the same *2015-10-13, version 1.0.21* I think they need to add more of the districts I was obsessed with this game but it got boring running through the same three places --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
