### 3/5 — Update

*2017-11-08, version 1.01*

It was good until I updated my phone to 11 iOS and it said that the app needs to be updated by the maker before you can play it

### 3/5 — Not good, not bad

*2015-10-05, version 1.01*

This game reminds me a lot of ESPN Kick Returner. It has 3 to 4 different moves you can do with multiple cheats you can pickup as you run up field. The game starts out at 50 yards and adds another 50 as you complete each level. The return guy can't take a hit unless you upgrade through in game rewards or purchases. It makes it pretty challenging. The key to winning this game is getting multiple beast mode power ups while running up the field. It will take the pressure off you and give like a free 50 to 150 yards per pickup.

### 1/5 — Seriously 😡😡😡😡😡

*2014-02-01, version 1.01*

I love football, and I'm sure this would be a great game, but i open the app click PLAY, then wait for about 30 seconds, then it takes me to the home page. Fix it!

### 1/5 — Doesn't start the game!

*2014-01-29, version 1.01*

I hit play and it crashes, I'm very sure this game would be very enjoyable, but until you fix the problem I don't know.

Thank you

### 1/5 — Mad😡

*2013-02-21, version 1.01*
