But the way it was made isn't the best. I have to sometimes quit the app in order to get back to the main menu. The whole thing needs to be thoroughly worked on. ### 2/5 — Good *2014-12-21* The app is great. It's definitely a 5-star app if all the functions worked. Biggest bug- no way to exit the settings menu. ### 4/5 — UPDATE FOR IPHONE 5 please!!!! *2014-12-02* Great but need support for iphone 5! Can't edit any settings as the screen sizes are different and you can't go back a screen without having to get out of the app but besides that perfect. Just make it work and it's a 5 star! ### 3/5 — Fun idea, little disappointing *2014-06-04* Fun app, good laugh with friends and sometimes can get it to sound realistic, the turbo goes off when i take my foot off the gas but has a 1-2 second delay which is the real killer of this app. For $1.30 its ok, a few adjustments would make it worth the price - Sound to be more responsive (no waiting time once foot is off gas) - sounds to be added more often, including adjustments and tweaks on previous sounds overall its a 6/10.. still a good laugh ### 4/5 — I was surprised *2014-05-31, version 4.0.5* I was actually very surprised. I mean for just putting it on a window mount and using your phones gyro, it's pretty great. There's like half a second of lag between taking your foot off the gas and the blow off, but i wouldn't really expect any better given the way it works. The only thing I don't like is the volume. I like to listen to music from my phone, and you can barely hear it over the music. You can't even adjust the blow off volume, just the compression, which you can't hear at all even at max volume. If they fixed that it would be perfect. ### 2/5 — Broke *2014-03-25* This app is broken no back button in any menu only way to get to the home screen is by force closing the app. When you charge money for a app it best have the basics. Also when you flip the phone side ways the app breaks this stuff should have been fixed once it was reported. The sounds do sound good so that's a big plus. In all a 2/5 if you wanna throw away a dollar go for it also the HKS turbo sound is a extra $1.99. ### 4/5 — G *2014-03-06* Good but can't exit the options menu on I phone ### 5/5 — Car Sounds *2014-02-28* Awesome app, but it would be cool if there was an option with car sounds to go with the turbo! ### 5/5 — Needs UPDATE!! *2014-02-26* Please Update! Update!!!! ### 4/5 — Fun :D *2014-02-20, version 4.0.5* It's a fun app I just plug it into my radio and turn it up loud works well in first and second then it's like a 50/50 chance from there . Wish I could save my setting and go back to the main menu needs update then I'll give 5 stars! Please fix this! ### 4/5 — Good app *2013-12-17* Fun app!! Only problem is i can't edit the options. There is no exit button on ios 7 ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Rubbish *2022-10-26* Great idea but none of the sounds sound anything like an engine. There is no bass whatsoever. How hard would it have been to put in any straight forward engine sound. Waste of money! ### 1/5 — It’s not compatible with iPad *2021-02-26* The reason why I installed it was bc I thought it was cool but not it wasn’t at all the worst app ever it needs a update so it can be compatible with iPad ### 1/5 — Take this crap down *2021-02-12, version 5.0.0* Y’all are literally robbing people , this doesn’t work at alllllll ### 1/5 — Pathetic *2017-06-06* Had it in my phone for more than 5 years, thought it will become better. But developers are too lazy to work further on it. I want my money back!! ### 1/5 — No sound! *2016-04-29* I want my money back! ### 1/5 — No sound *2016-02-17, version 5.0.0* App is terrible. No sounds. Defeats the purpose of using the app. ### 1/5 — Dosent have a clue! *2014-07-14* It dosent even respond to my car accurately. Completely out of time and constantly boosting when it's not even suppose to. Not a great app it need sorting! Would be a laugh if it wasn't too sensitive. Even when you turn the sensitivity down it doesn't make a difference. Sort it out ### 1/5 — Worked fine then iPhone 5 came out... *2013-10-01, version 4.0.5* I own an iPhone 4 and ever since the app update for the new iPhone 5,when you finish tuning, you can't go back to the boost gauge... You can't adjust the boost pressure, sensitivity, volume, or boost warning light. I used to play around with this app a lot and then all of a sudden this happens. ### 1/5 — Dont waste your money *2013-04-17* Not even worth half a star! Trust me if you download this you will regret it. Absolute waste of money and time, only bought for a laugh but expected it to be half decent, tried all different settings and just doesnt work whatsoever, out of time, and majority it doesnt even bother trying to work when revving, no matter what sensitivity its on. Complete joke ### 1/5 — Biggest mistake I made *2012-02-22* Not worth the money rather have got a coffee at tims than waste it on this crap to others don't get this app the sound the quality of the blow of valves sound more like a whistle it's not worth a cent the sound is so fake not happy at all ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — SICK BRO GET NOW *2022-03-12* Get now ### 5/5 — Question *2019-10-28* Do you have to have a manual car to be able to use this ### 5/5 — Rekt a s94 mustang on highway *2019-10-27* Easy +100 hp with this app, the louder the boost the faster y’all car becomes. ### 5/5 — Best app ever *2019-07-16* I love it when I hear a stutututu whenever I let off the gas in my S2000 ### 5/5 — Best Value Mod *2016-04-20, version 5.0.0* This is the best value you're gonna find for a car mod. Gave my Honda Civic 69 more horsepower. And you can always get yours and your passengers phones running it together. It just stacks! Once I had 4 phones going, and I was pushing 400 horsepower in my Civic! And for only $4 total!! ### 5/5 — So much fun *2016-02-28, version 5.0.0* I love this app. It sounds just like the blow off valve on my car. So much fun. ### 5/5 — Sick *2015-09-23, version 5.0.0* Best thing ever made. People ask me why? Because racecar ### 5/5 —  *2015-07-24* Great update 👍👍 ### 5/5 — Nice Update *2015-07-22, version 5.0.0* The update made it look better 💪🏾🔰 ### 5/5 — Very good fun *2014-04-19* Looks and sounds great . Better at night and is a very fun app . Boost is pretty accurate along side my real gauge . --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
