### 2/5 — Surfs up

*2026-06-07*

From all the snowboarding games I’ve played before, this one is solid.  I just think that, it has too many trees & rocks . A beginner will surely quit after trying so many times. You should have rocks for a beginner. But other than that this game is fun.

### 3/5 — Needs more stuff

*2022-01-29*

It’s a great game I love it but it needs like 20 pairs or more of goggles and helmets more jackets and some goggles should cover their eyes plsss up date it and helmets to it would look cool just add more stuff plssss

### 3/5 — It could be better

*2020-11-22, version 1.0.6*

Not that great because I gave it 3 stars ⭐️

### 3/5 — Crashing...

*2020-10-11*

The game is fine, it’s just that keeps crashing when offline at the very beginning of the game and sometimes when online!

### 4/5 — Excellent despite recent crashing of app

*2020-04-20*

I’ve been a fan of this lovely little game for a while now, working my way through the stages. Like others I would like the option of paying for the app and getting rid of the annoying ads. My biggest annoyance at the moment is the constant crashing, just started, maybe it’s an os thing. Hopefully it will be sorted soon.

### 3/5 — Could Be Great With Tweaks

*2020-02-22*

I loved SSX Tricky and was happy to find Peak Rider. It would be great if they tweaked a few things. 

First there are So. Many. Ads. If they had an option to buy the game, I would. It's just incredibly irritating.

The learning curve is challenging to say the least. If they had "bunny slopes" in the very beginning more people may stick with it.

I like the game and have stuck with it. Worked my way up to Silver Rider 2. There's only one other person to race that's not struggling as a Rookie. I romp everyone. Make the game easier to learn.

Often, when I'm racing someone and launch off a cliff I'll do multiple tricks quickly. This crashes the game, a lot.

Also, it would be great if they developed different course locations.

This could evolve into an amazing game. Just has a ways to go.

### 3/5 — Review

*2019-03-09*

It has a hard time starting up on a iPhone 7. Besides that it is a good game with good graphics

### 2/5 — It’s ok

*2018-12-31*

The game physics are ok - seems to respond as it should. But the scoring doesn’t make any sense. You get way more points for missing obstacles then you do for hitting jumps - so to win, it’s better for you to skip the jumps. 

Plus, there’s a speed boost that you can get, but going faster doesn’t give you any advantages. 

They should call it near-miss snowboarding. 

I also find their server is never on - maybe they shut down?

### 4/5 — Ok

*2018-11-12*

Not Ssx tricky

### 3/5 — 🙂

*2018-07-18*

It’s ok but the controls are bad I wish there was a joy stick can’t control where I go cuz I’m in a car so it making me go crazy

### 2/5 — Could be great BUT...

*2018-04-21*

I really wanted to enjoy this.

The tutorial puts hardly anything in your way which is fine for learning. But then you move on to the next run and obstacles are everywhere. Jump landing zones are cluttered with rocks & trees.

It’s like they don’t want you to succeed even as a rookie. Movement is choppy too. 2 stars is because of potential but needs much work.

### 3/5 — Glitches and crashes

*2018-03-23, version 1.0.6*

Pretty good game other than the whole game started crashing pretty often.Also a glitch where you are riding into an area with no trees or rocks then you repeatedly fall off the cliff until you pause and hit main menu.

### 4/5 — Getting there

*2018-03-22*

I would give 3 stars but I really appreciate the developers working to answer mine and others complaints. I still think a two sided left right directions would make it easier to control. Thank you for listening though

**Developer response:** Hi, we do have button controls (just instead of putting a button on the screen, you just tap on the screen to turn) and we added a Sensitivity slider to adjust how the tilt controls work.

### 4/5 — 🤘🤘

*2018-03-07*

Magnifique jeu,bien fait mais ses juste la sensibilité qui gâche un peu

### 2/5 — Keep improving!

*2018-03-07, version 1.0.5*

This game has good potential. It just needs better controls and more options for clothes and boards that you would have to earn of course.

### 2/5 — Meh

*2018-03-06, version 1.0.5*

Controls ruin it. There are better games like this out there.

### 1/5 — Unplayable

*2025-03-04*

I was enjoying this game but recently I have not been able to play. It keeps crashing. Useless

### 1/5 — Glitchy & makes me dizzy

*2024-05-27*

It glitches & also tilting the iPad makes me dizzy 😵‍💫

### 1/5 — Too many ads

*2020-02-09*

Would be a great game but the ads make it not worth it

### 1/5 — Zero point Zero

*2018-07-09*

Quite possibly the worst game of all time. Nothing like SSX.

### 1/5 — Deleted

*2018-03-07*

The joystick is massively over sensitive and the ads are really annoying! I’ll re download it if these improvements are made.

### 1/5 — Crashes

*2018-03-05, version 1.0.5*

Game keeps crashing. Will give it a little longer to see how it improves, but for now -  it’s not worth the time to download.

### 1/5 — Ads badly implemented

*2018-03-04, version 1.0.5*

The game might be okay, but I never got to find out. The first time an add just popped up with no warning (on full volume despite the fact I had my sound clicked off) the game got instantly deleted.

### 1/5 — LAG LAG LAG LAG LAG LAG

*2018-03-03, version 1.0.5*

SO MUCH FREAKING LAG I HAVE A GOOD PHONE AND IT STILL FREAKING LAGS AND IT GETS MY GUY CRASHED EVERY FREAKING TIME LEARN TO MAKE A GOOD GAME AND NOT HAVE IT LAG
UHHHGGGG

### 1/5 — Just a runner

*2018-03-02*

This game is obviously trying to look like the most recent ssx game; from its characters, helicopters, level endings, and board-removing tricks...it just seriously plays like a runner style game and that’s where it deviates. As a runner - which is more or less what it is -I find it boring even for a game of that genre.

**Developer response:** Hi, we updated our tutorial to show off more of the game modes and features, such as Score mode, Trick Mode and Multiplayer.

### 1/5 — RUBBISH

*2018-03-02*

Just a boring runner game like subway surfers but on a snowboard, got bored of games like this 4 years ago. Controls are crap also, they’re either tilt you device or touch that is way over sensitive. Deleted
