It’s unfair and also when it says Round Failed I don’t like the word failed it makes me feel like I’m bad! Low quality game don’t download! ### 4/5 — Fun *2026-04-19, version 1.16.1* Votre jeu est amusant mais n’est malheureusement pas en français. Je joue comme je peux, puisque je ne comprend pas l’anglais. Si possible, faites une vesion française, SVP ! Merci ! ### 3/5 — Cannot turn off music *2026-01-10, version 1.16.1* This looks great, but because I cannot turn off the hideously repetitive music, yet keep the sound effects, I will hardly play it. I cannot see any “options” on these type of things. Pity ### 4/5 — Just one thing… *2025-06-27, version 1.16.1* Every time I flip my iPad, tilt controls act weird. Right is left, left is right, it just doesn’t work out anymore. Please fix this issue immediately, Kart Stars. ### 2/5 — S *2025-01-15* This is a good free game ### 2/5 — Ugh *2022-09-14* Nicht so gut sry ### 2/5 — Yeah Naaaaa *2022-01-23, version 1.13.6* Great little game with potential, but the money grab does more damage than good in terms of other costs for comparable games. I’m happy to watch or mute ads, and occasionally lay down some cash. I can’t help but feel whoever is managing this game needs to change this to get more customers playing. I’m deleting it now. :) ### 5/5 — Beast *2021-11-22, version 1.13.6* Absolutely amazing game should make a more modern one ### 3/5 — Not great *2021-11-07, version 1.13.6* I’m on level 2 and I can’t do it . The game feels rigged sometimes but it is alright so I gave. It three stars overall I wouldn’t recommend downloading this game ### 5/5 — Great game *2021-10-28, version 1.13.6* Love this game. Just won level 300. Use your boosters wisely! ### 4/5 — Why can the ai drift *2021-08-13, version 1.13.6* I can’t drift witch is totally unfair for some tracks. Once you get to the 80cc super kart I’ll just tell you, good luck on that one. ### 3/5 — Okay but… *2021-07-26, version 1.13.6* The game is fine and short ,but most of the time I couldn’t even drift without the car crashing.I try so hard. The game as well kept glitching on me. So these guys need to update the drifting and animation. ### 2/5 — Wugsufer *2021-06-26, version 1.13.6* I don’t like it ### 5/5 — Bom jogo. *2021-06-08* Ainda é o melhor jogo de Kart! Só precisa oferecer controle de freio para ganhar 5 estrelas. ### 5/5 — Very good but something is broken *2021-04-29, version 1.13.6* When i try to purchase a vehicle in the “ON SALE” vehicles, i have enough money for the one i want to buy. But, the coins shop comes up when i have enough money for the car. Please respond to this, Kart Stars. ### 5/5 — HAHAHAHAHA *2021-02-24, version 1.13.6* THIS CURED MY DEPRESSION OMG HAHAHAHA ### 2/5 — Good, not great yet *2021-02-13, version 1.13.6* Hi, Enjoying the game so far but it is getting SUPER frustrating when most times I try to purchase an upgrade with coins earned in the game, it tells me I don’t have enough and need to purchase more coins to buy it. Not going to happen. Especially when I have enough and the game won’t let me buy the upgrades. Poor form if that is how you are getting your in-game purchase revenue. Please fix so I can just play the game or it will be deleted and no purchases will be made from me. Apart from that, it’s a good game. Thanks ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Eigentlich lieben wir das Spiel, aber es gibt was negatives *2026-07-16* Eigentlich total klasse!!! ABER: man gibt Geld aus für ein besseres Kart und obwohl man es zahlt und auswählt, übernimmt er es nicht ins Rennen und man hat das Schlechteste autonom Rennen und hat keine Chance zu gewinnen. WIESO??? Unbedingt beheben!!!! ### 1/5 — Schlecht gemacht *2026-06-25* Einfach schlecht. Man kauft ein teures Kart, aber man kann es die nächsten 60 Level nicht benutzen, was vor dem Kauf nur in extrem kleiner grauer Schrift angezeigt wurde. Jetzt muss man mit dem alten, langsamen Kart weiterfahren und gewinnt keine Rennen mehr und damit keine Coins. Wenn man Rennen fährt so es darum geht eine bestimmte Anzahl Coins für 3 Sterne zu bekommen respawnen die in vorherigen Rennen eingesammelten Coins nicht. Damit wird es unmöglich die 3 Sterne für das Rennen zu bekommen. ### 1/5 — Very buggy fix game center sign in! *2024-07-17, version 1.16.1* Very buggy fix game center sign in! Can't even retrieve my profile anymore ### 1/5 — Update to game *2020-11-10, version 1.13.3* I enjoyed playing this game for the last year, but have stopped playing after the most recent update a couple weeks ago. This update changed the tilt control feature in a bad way. The steering is awful with this update. I have to tilt my device almost 180DEG to steer around corners and still unable to make corners smoothly. I can’t even keep my eye on the screen because of this I have to steer so aggressively. It’s taken the fun out of the game for me. Is there a way I can go back to previous version? Or change a setting back to previous steering settings? ### 1/5 — Newest Update Stinks *2020-11-03, version 1.13.3* With the newest update, you can no longer control the cars. You can turn hard but the car still goes straight into the wall. You can’t even be competitive on it anymore. This was a great game and very addictive, but you destroyed it with this last update! ### 1/5 — Rigged *2020-06-26, version 1.12.5* Pretty rigged. The same racer always wins and it’s impossible to get past him. ### 1/5 — Miau *2020-06-25* Miau ### 1/5 — Just bad *2020-04-20, version 1.12.5* This game is bad and boring don’t bother ### 1/5 — Game Crashing *2018-09-01, version 1.10.5* The games keeps crashing, such a shame it was a really enjoyable game. ### 1/5 — Broken *2018-03-28, version 1.9* This game is broken. This is a broken freemium model based game that is so demanding of your money. It has you play a few levels which you can easily win. Then when you reach the next level the other racers practically fly right past you and you have no chance of catching up. It has an upgrade system that has overpriced upgrades and a slow rate at which you earn the coins. But then they have the shop where you can spend money to upgrade your kart and buy new drivers very quickly. The multiplayer as well is laggy and in my opinion this game is not worth a dime. However though the game is sometimes fun if you play with friends. If the developers do decide to come back and work on the game, they need to fix the lag in multiplayer races and increase the amount of coins you earn in multiplayer matches and in the single player. This is a interesting game that could be good. Only it’s being held back by the freemium model that the game is connected to. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Love gameplay *2026-07-18, version 1.16.1* I love this game but it should fix the controls ### 5/5 — Love this game *2026-02-25* I'm not the best player, but I don't care! The game's so much fun and got a bit addictive factor to make it better next time 🏎️ ### 5/5 — Great *2025-08-15, version 1.16.1* Ad free and basically a better version of Mario kart mobile ### 5/5 — Better than you think *2025-07-30, version 1.16.1* It’s add free and it’s fun weird ### 5/5 — My favourite game *2025-04-26, version 1.16.1* I’m not gonna lie this might actually be my favourite game. I played this many years ago and I got bored of it because of the ads. But I have just came back after at least 5 - 7 years. As soon as I loaded into the game I heard the music and it is so nostalgic to me. This game is so fun and addicting and my favourite part about the game is that my brother Luke Wrigley is one of the characters. That makes it even better since I get to use my one and only brother’s skin. Love this game! ### 5/5 — So much nostalgia *2024-12-10, version 1.16.1* Bro this game brings so many memories back when I was like 6 and innocent I even remember getting my dad to race because he is a go-kart driver. BEST GAME😀😀 ### 5/5 — Great game but hard to move up levels *2024-04-28, version 1.16.1* Not too many annoying ads. After level 30ish you cant access free boosters and the carts are slow if you dont have coins to buy new. It takes ages to get enough coins to get boosters so you dont move up levels ### 5/5 — Best mario kart game ever *2023-10-31, version 1.15.0* The stars so funny ### 5/5 — So cool *2023-09-27, version 1.15.0* I love playing this game! ### 5/5 — Very Nice *2021-12-09* The game is very god but is Nice to make tournament online no just a race online --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
