Ça en devient pénible, on nous force limite à en acheter c'est infernal franchement j'arrête de jouer à ce jeu jusqu'à ce que le problème soit régler ### 3/5 — À quand la nouvelle mise à jour *2026-04-24* Très bon jeu, même si ça prend un temps de fou ### 2/5 — 살다살다 *2026-04-22* 퀘스트를 성공하는데에 현금성 재화가 들어가는건 어이가 없네요. 몇일 일일보상을 해서 얻을수는 있겠지만 다음관문으로 넘어가는 필수 퀘스트에 현금성재화를 써야하는 게임은 처음보네.... ### 2/5 — Broken *2026-02-15* In the most popular car show rewards the 6th level where you need 800 points to claim the reward is broken you don’t receive any gems when you purchase the reward. If you’re having people pay real money for rewards in the game the least you can do is have them work. Plus this game is to reliant of gems all the car show upgrades should be in game currency and not gems which for the amount of upgrades that you need gems to purchase are too expensive. Gems should be less inflated. ### 2/5 — Money Grab *2026-01-09* Can’t get passed points without gems and they make it to where if you aren’t spending money it’s gonna take a while to get the gems to go on. Fun concept and wish it wouldn’t be like this. ### 1/5 — Pub sui fonctionne même pas … *2026-01-06* Le jeu est bien, mais bourré de pub (bon jusqu’à là rien d’anormal) hors les pubs fonctionne même pas, à la fin elles bug et nous obligé de fermé et relancer l’app (évidement en ayant perdu les avantages en plus de notre temps !) ### 1/5 — Pay to play *2025-12-29* It is impossible to play at stage 3, you are force to buy gems to continue. Don’t waste your time ### 1/5 — Ohne Moos nichts los *2025-12-24* Ohne sich Diamanten kaufen zu müssen kommst nicht weiter. Finger weg von ### 1/5 — Another Cash Grab *2025-12-19* Copy and paste of numerous other games, but an even bigger cash grab than it’s competitors. No idea how this has a 4.8 overall rating. ### 3/5 — son *2025-12-09* trop chiant le son ne se coupe pas et il y a des musiques de con ### 1/5 — Good but hits a wall *2025-12-04* Gets to a point in the game you can not move forward unless you have the gems to unlock stuff but of course you have to buy the gems because you don’t get enough of them in the game. ### 1/5 — Pas ouf *2025-12-03* Temps astronomique pour avancer passé un moment. Roue de la "chance" totalement scriptée pour vous faire dépenser tout ce que vous gagnez ### 2/5 — Great but… *2025-12-01* Absolutely great game until gem upgrades become mandatory to continue and options to obtain them become scarce unless buying them with your hard earned cash. Game also pushes you to the in app purchases to continue at the pace you wanna play the game at. ### 3/5 — Fun but cash grab *2025-11-21* The game is fun because of the accurate car models. If you don’t care for cars or the models it’s just another idle game. The accurate models and tiering system made it feel worth it for me personally solely because of how much I appreciated the art. Otherwise this game is a cash grab. It’s hard to progress past the second world without spending money. I’ve nearly finished the game now and would say I’ve collectively spent $23. 2 meals on some pixels lol ### 2/5 — Okay *2025-11-18* Game is alright for a few days, then you need gems and game can not provide enough by playing to continue, by 3rd showroom you need to buy gems to actually continue at any decent pace or log on every day and complete tasks like watching videos to earn 3 gems and cost 80 gems to upgrade your garage. Needs changing to gems for videos, not worth downloading if not. ### 1/5 — Cash grab *2025-11-02* I rarely ever write an review but this game is really disappointing and shame on the developers also. You absolutely cannot progress at all when you reach the second city if you stay FTP. Pretty much they give you objective to complete in order to reach the next city/showroom and I got to the point where you need gems to upgrade section and they are mandatory buys with gems. I usually don’t mind spending .99 cents in games but, you need to spend an outrageous amount. Stay away from this game. ### 1/5 — Pay to Play *2025-10-31* I was enjoying myself for the first few hours, spent a few gems that it starts you with to advance, then you hit a pay wall. There comes a point pretty early in play where you are just stuck, progress is impossible without gems, and gems don’t come often. This isn’t the kind of game I want to have to get on every few days when I can finally have a little fun again, this is a game I want to go through and be able to play but unless you’re willing to spend large amounts of money you just can’t. This game isn’t pay to win, it’s pay to play; on top of that you have to subscribe to go ad free… like what, you want me to sign up for recurring payments of $30/month for something other games would have a $10-$15 one time purchase..? The audacity, especially with how copy and paste these idle games have become, no justification in the insane monetization tactics, you’d make more money having a more reasonable model because you’d have more players. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Update broken *2026-08-19* Update broken no new level as promised still the old game ### 1/5 — Perte de progression suite mise à jour *2026-08-17* J’ai adoré joué au jeu, j’ai même mis un peu d’argent dedans pour éviter les pubs tellement je me suis pris dedans, J’avais quasi fini le jeu, j’avais débloqué toute les marques, plus que 3 à améliorer à fond, et fini 100% des améliorations des équipements, J’avais mis le jeu de côté en attend’at une mise à jour, mais alors quand j’ai vu que enfin il y en avait une, je l’ai faite ! Mais voilà aucune nouveauté, peut être un bug, j’ai donc désinstaller le jeu et réinstaller vu que j’étais connecté au Game Center, moralité j’ai tout perdu, je suis dégoûté ### 1/5 — Scammed *2026-07-03* I’ve spent a little over $60 aud to get to the 4th garage but its very pay to win i have to spend more witch is not happening good game i can see my self playing it alot but im not paying to win ### 1/5 — Без доната нереально *2026-06-11* Никакого геймплея без доната не выйдет ### 1/5 — Bug *2026-05-27* Não consigo passar da parte inicial do tutorial o jogo manda eu clicar em um espaço e simplesmente não acontece nada e se saio e entro de novo acontece a mesma coisa ### 1/5 — Gems *2026-04-30* Game is good but terrible when you get to the middle honestly if you wanna spend 300 bucks to win go for it but without you’ll play till 2045 save some time just don’t get it ### 1/5 — Shame on developers *2026-04-13* DO NOT GET THIS GAME!!!! Shame on you developers for not specifying you are a cash grab system. I spent $20 to do 1 month of no ads to see how the game plays. Come to find out that once you reach second city you need gems (which cost real money) to progress further. No choice! So on top of already spending $20 I need to spend way more to get gems to progress further. Now I’m going to delete the game and it’s only been 1 day that I got the no ads deal for $20. I’d like my money back! I’m so glad I don’t get phone games much. Lesson learned! DO NOT GET THIS GAME!!! ### 1/5 — Scammed *2026-03-06* Just spent $10 on the voting pass for the 50 gems and 10 voting tickets and didnt get the 50 gems ……. Sick thanks for taking my money ### 1/5 — Who runs these studios *2026-02-02* The absolute gall to have a subscription based gameplay loop is insanity for how low effort this game was made with. The greed is strong here and as a developer myself i am just disappointed. When did mobile games get so ****?! Why is everything always behind a paywall in a time where one hour of minimum wage work cant even pay for a WEEK of ad free gameplay? Get a grip you delusional studios for the love of all thats holy dont play this game ### 1/5 — Finger Weg *2026-01-06* Ohne , teilweise bis 150 Sekunden lange Werbevideos und ohne Kauf von Diamanten kann man das Spiel in der ersten Stadt spielen, danach wird es teuer …. Gute Idee aber ein Abzocker Spiel ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — next update *2026-06-07* Hey, i was just wondering when the next update is scheduled, i start to be a bit bored (everything’s maxed and 2trillion on my bank) ### 5/5 — Sell cars???? *2026-03-13* How I sell cars? The spaces are too small in the garage ### 5/5 — Hola *2025-10-09* Es bueno muchos anuncios es lo único si pudiera evitar eso ### 5/5 — Très bien *2025-08-10* Super jeu ### 5/5 — Good game *2024-12-10* Good idle game to play if you enjoy cars. Get car upgrades are difficult if you don’t pay for it. ### 5/5 — Pas mal du tous *2024-10-14* Si vous les mettez à jours en rajoutant des marques et des modèles vous irez loin!! ### 5/5 — Bello *2024-09-24, version 0.97* Bello ### 4/5 — Disappoint *2025-10-14, version 2.12* Can you make it landscape on ipad ### 4/5 — Watch video option *2025-01-21* Should add a watch video option for additional diamonds. Have to wait 24 hours just to get 5 diamonds. Instead of purchasing diamond packs just to upgrade 1 section of the game. ### 3/5 — Baldy Tyres *2026-06-01* Fill her up…. The game begins with good potential but it soon becomes apparent that the need to spend money is approaching faster than any speed limit. I’ve just moved onto Chicago and to upgrade certain parts of the showroom I need more gems and gems cost money. Even removing AD’s is only a weekly or monthly option so more money to spend. Have a go but don’t be too disappointed when you delete the game and move onto another! --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
