Otherwise great game ### 5/5 — First great start to a kiteboard game *2017-04-17* The game isn't perfect but a lot of fun and looking forward to future updates. Wish list: more tricks, combine tricks, and TRANSITION JUMPS (with tricks). Maybe some unhooked tricks someday!? ### 5/5 — Most immersive kite experience! *2017-04-08, version 1.0.1* By far the best out there without actually being on the water. Excellent! ### 5/5 — Awesome *2017-03-20* So fun and realistic. Wish I had this when I was learning! ### 5/5 — Amazing!! *2017-03-17* Takes a little while to learn, but once you do it becomes addictive as kiting! Very nice job, I believe this is the first true good Kitesurf game. Can't wait for upgrades or a next version with multiplayer, waves, kite-wave options, obstacles (ramps, rails?), leaderboards... ### 5/5 — Great game *2017-03-17, version 1.0* Well done. Just need female characters too... ### 5/5 — Wow. Just wow. *2017-03-15* As a Kiteboarder myself I purchased this app without even checking images or anything just to support the people behind it who must be passionate about the sport. It's definitely not easy to develop and implement the whole experience but somehow you guys made it and exceeded my expectations! Just wow. And it can work somehow as a different way of training your skills and all round feeling! Top! ### 5/5 — Great, looking forward to updates *2017-03-13, version 1.0* Concept is amazing - please add accelerometer based bar controll option ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Useless and not Fun *2017-04-07* Had big hope for this game. Poor graphic, poor fun, very boring to play. Don't waste your time on this, get out and Kitesurf even if you're never tried as it's easier! ### 3/5 — Nice start *2017-03-16* Nice start with decent graphics, however, why is the control bar controlled by touching the screen instead of moving the phone? ### 4/5 — Great game *2017-03-19, version 1.0* Got the kite movements spot on. Feels exactly like turning a real kite. Annoying that the bar is squashed into the corner and doesn't allow much movement. World be better positioned up a. It. ### 4/5 — Awesome fun ! *2017-03-15, version 1.0* Great start and the physics are spot on. Satisfying tricky too. Only request so far is to be able to swap the kite control to the right thumb. ### 5/5 — Kite hero *2025-09-09, version 1.4.2* Great game but can you let us jump higher like 30 to 40 meters. Also the wind should be stronger otherwise soo good ### 5/5 — Saves ££$$$ and replaces lessons completely! *2022-09-11, version 1.4.2* Is a guaranteed replacement for spending needless money effort and time learning and putting up with annoying instructors! Learning on your own is so much better. Thanks guys!! ### 5/5 — Love the game *2021-02-02, version 1.4.2* Only request I have is to be able to shed in and out the bar and have as you would in real live like jumping to pull the bar in or the water start other than it’s a great game ### 5/5 — Feels like the real thing *2019-08-28, version 1.3* Simulation feels very true to the response of the kite but the response feels so true to the real feel. Board riding immediately had me throwing he kite to edge upwind. The response is so true I can feel myself holding in the window and puckering in turns through the power zone. Will be great for visualizing my tacks. ### 5/5 — Fun *2019-01-07* Should put unhooked riding in the game ### 5/5 — Love it! *2018-12-29* Intuitive controls, great graphics, fun challenges. New to kiting, and this is keeping me motivated on the lousy weather days. Worth the price, for sure. Future update wish list: multiplayer (downwind course races and/or point competition in timed events), obstacles to jump over, and of course more challenges to work on and improve! ## Most praised reviews (4 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Totally worth the few bucks! *2018-10-20* I agree that I’d rather be on the water, but when it’s not windy (or not daylight) this makes for a lot of fun! The controls are well thought out you can either use your accelerometer by tilting the phone or touch controls. The simulation of kite flying and board riding is actually surprisingly accurate. I could definitely see this being super helpful for beginner as the tutorial walk you through everything from the win window to jumping. Even as an intermediate kite boarder myself, doing a couple of kite loops in game Is making me a little more confident to try one in real life. Great job guys very impressed! ### 5/5 — Great Simulation *2018-08-21* Amazing game! ### 5/5 — Impressed *2018-03-02, version 1.2* Really nice graphics, gameplay, and perfect to kill time in winter when it’s too cold to kitesurf in real life or when on the beach waiting for the wind to pick up. Definitely recommend for any kiteboarder ### 5/5 — Solid *2018-01-12, version 1.2* Needs some waves and different destinations. Happy to pay for these things but easily the best kite app out there --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
