### 2/5 — Doesn’t work

*2026-07-05, version 5.0*

It doesn’t work I tried a lot of times and did everything that it told me to do but it didn’t work at all.

### 2/5 — Missing or non-working items

*2026-06-28, version 5.1*

The Phantom Nuke cars do not exist in the app.  Unable to figure out how to get the to even show up.  In the trucks the x52 ice does not show up in the app.  Others are there but unable to select.  Tells you to put on charger then nothing.  Can’t use.

### 3/5 — No Fast and furious cars like android support even though android version does

*2026-06-20, version 5.1*

Bought this because I have android also. This version doesn’t support fast and furious cars like android. Please update

### 3/5 — Gut, aber Update fehlt!

*2026-06-06, version 5.1*

Ich finde es klasse, dass man wieder fahren kann, dennoch bedarf es ein Update um die Drive Fahrzeuge zu nutzen sowie die Fast and Furious Fahrzeuge, denn diese können mit der Version 2.6 nicht genutzt werden.

### 4/5 — Please update

*2026-06-06, version 5.1*

I can’t connect my Fast and Furious cars

### 1/5 — Scam

*2026-05-23, version 5.1*

Buy this race car game for my kids. Setup and find out need to spend more money to buy an app. Buy the app but the app does not have the cars we got so won’t link.

### 3/5 — It used to work

*2026-05-21, version 5.1*

So I have adf this since 2024 it worked all out through 2024 and the start through 2025 but in the spring of 2025 the cars stopped connecting to the app only one worked not the other ones

### 1/5 — No longer works as you can’t select your cars.

*2026-05-17, version 5.1*

Stopped working and now can’t select a car as it’s got a annoying bug ,How much longer are you going to make us wait for this app to be fixed ? Also this app should be free as they took away the anki free app.

### 1/5 — Fun app but missing support for vehicles

*2026-05-17, version 5.1*

It would be a huge plus if they would add support for the fast and furious vehicles. It’s a bummer to have bought vehicles from a company and then have them not be usable on their app.

### 1/5 — Kein Fast and Furious support

*2026-05-11, version 5.1*

Totaler Schwachsinn, habe mir gebraucht, das Fast and Furious Set geholt. Da war noch ein Thermo dabei, welcher funktioniert und ein Originalverpackter Guardian, welcher nicht mehr erkannt wird beziehungsweise anscheinend Akku Probleme hat. Die beiden Fast & Furious Autos werden nicht erkannt und sind somit nicht spielbar. Somit kann ich nicht spielen und es war ein totaler Reinfall. Dafür auch noch 2,99 € bezahlt.😭

### 1/5 — There are so many wrong things

*2026-05-03, version 5.1*

Thanks for bringing 2.6 back. However super trucks don’t work, the app crashes whenever you tap scan track. Please fix super trucks.

To add to that, support for Nuke Phantom doesn’t exist.

### 4/5 — Happy

*2026-04-12, version 5.1*

Everything works fine but Sound doesn’t work and when I clock on join a game it says Im not conected  to internet even though I am
Hope it get fixed in next update

### 1/5 — DOES NOT WORK AT ALL ANYMORE

*2026-04-04, version 5.1*

Software is out of date, do not waste your money on this app

### 4/5 — Very fun but slight issue

*2026-04-01, version 5.1*

I recently found my old anki overdrive stuff and decided to test it out but I had the fast and furious version of the game and from everything I’ve tried the fast and furious exclusive cars won’t connect. Is there any way to fix this? If so, please lmk

### 1/5 — Digital dream labs not very dreamy

*2026-03-28, version 5.1*

Dude, this guy stinks… the app literally doesn’t even connect to the cars…

### 2/5 — PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE UPDATE

*2026-03-10, version 5.1*

I’m 22 now but I have played and owned overdrive since I was 12 or 13 it’s completely different from what I remember I can’t even save my tournament mode progress which is really frustrating because as a kid I couldn’t and never really got to chance to beat the game now as a adult I want to beat the game but can’t accomplish it at all I still so enjoy anki overdrive very much just please update and tweak the app just one more time if yall can I know the company now is no more here with us but just please

### 1/5 — Doesn’t Work

*2026-03-07, version 5.1*

Downloaded app only to find as soon as it goes to scan the track it kicks you out the app every time. Do not buy!

### 1/5 — Doesn’t work

*2026-07-22, version 5.1*

Dont buy it as multiplayer doesn’t work and the app constantly crashes!

### 1/5 — Fast and furious

*2026-07-05, version 5.1*

App seems to work for any other cars other than the fast and furious version which is the one i had bought , can anyone help me ?

### 1/5 — Not everything supported

*2026-07-04, version 5.1*

The problem is that I have components like the supertruck that will not be scanned in even though it is supported in the app and the fast and furious cars are not part of this and this unplayable 
I old not recommend downloading this unless you just have the base game

### 1/5 — Didn’t work

*2026-06-26, version 5.1*

App did not work at all

### 1/5 — Trying to have fun with my dad and little brother

*2026-06-23, version 5.1*

I come home from college to try to have family fun with my little brother and my dad and the app is so terrible now that when I’m connected to wifi it says I’m not and won’t allow me to play. Please fix what used to be a great game.

### 1/5 — Doesn’t work want my money back

*2026-06-21, version 5.1*

Don’t bother , doesn’t work

### 1/5 — Scam

*2026-06-10, version 5.1*

Please aware of not working, no support, no refund

### 1/5 — Buggy Dated Mess

*2026-06-01, version 5.1*

Softwares super buggy. App freezes and I can’t even select my basic 2 cars I got with the set. The app used to be free (I think) because I don’t remember ever paying for it and it doesn’t even work now. 
Also I thought it was the cars acting up and first and brought out a old fast and the furious set I never opened as a kid and found out you can only use that with a separate app they no longer have available. 
I remember this being awesome but I can’t use it now because the app won’t even let me connect to the cars.

### 1/5 — Doesn’t work

*2026-05-27, version 5.1*

First you have to buy a starter kit then you need to buy a app that doesnt even work you need bluetooth for the cars but it wont connect then it says i have no wifi 

Also pretty sure the people saying 5 stars are just the developers trying to trick you into buying the app 


DONT BUY ITS A SCAM

### 1/5 — Needs improvement

*2026-05-25, version 5.1*

Opened up the app in 2026, and so much is broken. Please do a bug fix. These cars are nostalgic and a lot of people would appreciate it.

### 5/5 — Great game but some problems

*2026-06-03, version 5.1*

Great game but the cars cannot for the life of them stay on the track even after cleaning the wheels and track.

### 5/5 — Anki overdrive

*2026-05-10, version 5.1*

Great game and fun

### 5/5 — Wow, just wow

*2026-03-22, version 5.1*

This product was ahead of its time and didn’t deserve to be bankrupt. Think about bringing it back.

### 5/5 — Works great

*2025-12-25, version 5.1*

Racing against kids. I am winning so 5 stars. 

iOS 26 and 18 respectively.

### 5/5 — Cameron Kenworthy’s review

*2025-12-22, version 5.1*

Tournament is being dumb because when I beat crash bot and I go to cam it just resets me back to crash bot. But open play is great👍. I love to do king of the hill with skull,groundshock, and thermo. Thank you do for updating the overdrive app. Just please get tournament fixed.

### 5/5 — Wow

*2025-12-17, version 5.1*

Literally my childhood

### 5/5 — I really like it!

*2025-12-09, version 5.1*

I love DDL Overdrive! It's the best!

### 5/5 — This game is based on Bluetooth

*2025-11-01, version 5.1*

I like this game a lot but do not use the battle option for the cars cause that just takes forever and the only way to get points is holding down a button while you’re attacking an opponent because that button makes you attack your opponent well that takes forever because y you might never catch up with your opponent making difficult to win or lose cause that would just take forever five story because it’s so fun

### 5/5 — Not free

*2025-10-10, version 5.1*

I remember when it first came out it was free to download and then you just made in app purchases for more tokens to upgrade now let’s see if it’s the same I had to buy the new one but must be better. 5 stars for nostalgic value it’s a great way to get the family bonding and competitive even learning how to repair things like soldering new battery.

### 5/5 — THEY REVIVED IT

*2025-07-31, version 5.1*

guys so epik literally
