You have to pay after 5 free trails of skating which last 45 seconds each. Average at best ### 2/5 — Good game just Add a 60 fps or higher feature please. *2026-03-29, version 1.4.5* It’s a great game, it’s a great game the reason I’m giving it 2 stars is due to lack of performance optimizations, this game should run at 60 fps native resolution on the iOS 13, instead of getting a solid 30 fps and under which isn’t good considering this game could run better. Just add a 60 fps feature in the settings. ### 3/5 — Amazing but but fast *2026-03-06, version 1.4.5* You can finish the game in 5 minutes because 5 sessions is all you get unless you pay ### 2/5 — In bon jeu mais *2025-10-28, version 1.4.5* J’aime bien le jeu mais je déteste quand il fait acheter le jeu en entier pour y jouer pleinement ### 2/5 — Read *2025-10-05, version 1.4.5* The amount of money that I have to pay to play the whole game is stupid ### 3/5 — Good game, needs more maps *2025-09-12, version 1.4.5* Seeing the last update being a year ago is sad because this game has great potential but there’s only 3 maps and they are fairly small. If there was maybe like 10 total I would say this is a complete game and worth 5 dollars but you can’t help but feel it’s overpriced for now. ### 3/5 — Dommage *2025-08-01* Dommage que se soit payant ### 4/5 — Needs extra Music options *2025-03-30, version 1.4.5* Not everyone has Apple Music, can you please add Spotify support? Other than that the game is pretty good. The skirting reminds me of Jet set radio ### 3/5 — Pay…… *2025-03-16, version 1.4.5* My mom can’t pay for the full game, which makes sense because we are paying for a lot of things already. But I did the free skating and the training, and it’s only been 10 mins. Could you possibly make the skatepark free, but the normal park and beach pay? ### 3/5 — Esta bien *2025-01-25* Esta bien pero solo tienes 5 sesiones al principio sin pagar y cada una tiene 1 min approx de Tiempo. Ademas no pone cuanto tienes que pagar para el juego completo ### 4/5 — Great game *2024-12-01, version 1.4.5* Needs more maps ### 5/5 — Fun but needs work *2024-11-03, version 1.4.5* I love the game but there is only a few things to do because there is only 3 maps and they are small and not there is not lot of skins and ways to customize it. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Bad *2026-06-15, version 1.4.5* Very bad cause you have to pay 8$ to play one minute rounds just make it free and then for upgrades like new parks make you pay, love to see this and make there a free skate so it is not just 1 minute rounds ### 1/5 — 시작하자마자 현질유도는 아니죠 *2026-04-21* 저같이 영어 잘 모르시는분들은 들어갈때 바로 막 누르지 마세요 실수로 현질 했으니 환불 부탁드립니다 실수로 현질하고 게임 플레이 아예 안했고 바로 나갔어요 ### 1/5 — U hav to pay *2026-03-02, version 1.4.5* You only get five turns Before you have to pay 10 bucks and when you try to do the last lesson even if you do everything perfect it doesn’t let you pass ### 1/5 — Horrid *2026-01-19, version 1.4.5* So bad you can’t even do stuff like hell nah bro. ### 1/5 — It sucks *2025-12-31, version 1.4.5* First you have to pay to play more sessions and second I am doing everything it asks for in training and it doesn’t do it.would not recommend. ### 1/5 — You have to pay to play, literally *2025-12-18, version 1.4.5* You have to pay if you want to play more than one session! ### 1/5 — Nicht gut *2025-10-30* Mann kann nur 3 mal spielen ohne das man bezahle. Kann mit drei mal Spielen meine ich ungefähr 2 Minuten dann muss man das Spiel kaufen um überhaupt das Spiel weiter zu spielen außerdem ist die Steuerung und der Kamera Winkel sehr sehr schlechte ich würde mir das Spiel nicht runter laden hätte ich das vorher gewusst sehr schlechtes Spiel ### 1/5 — jogo e bom e jogabilidade boa *2024-11-03* mais infelizmente nao da pra jogar quantas vezes quiser, precisa pagar pra jogar, por mais que seja um jogo gratis tinha q ter a opcao de jogar por minutos. ### 1/5 — Hate it *2024-08-05, version 1.4.5* Game itself is ok, not super good or super bad, but I hate the games where it says it’s free to install the app but you have to pay to actually play the game. You should at least tell us that you need to pay to actually fully pay the game before we download it😐🤢 ### 1/5 — AAA *2024-06-20* Só deu pra jogar uma única vez, e não dá para jogar mais, arrumem pfvr ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Best game ever *2026-04-03, version 1.4.5* Love it and love the way you control it ### 5/5 — Pochette skate *2025-10-20* Dommage que c’est payant j’adore se jeu il mérite un 5 étoiles ### 5/5 — Best mobile skate game *2025-08-20, version 1.4.5* NEED MORE MAPS ASAP ### 5/5 — Make the game fully free *2025-03-15, version 1.4.5* Brilliant game but not free ### 5/5 — Ótimo *2025-03-01* Tragam atualização com novas pistas e manobras pfv, mais melhor jogo de skate ### 5/5 — O jogo é perfeito o melhor do gênero para móbile *2025-02-08* Valeu cada centavo ### 5/5 — Great game, needs more content *2025-02-02, version 1.4.5* Awesome game only bummer is could really use more content and stuff to do to increase replay value ### 5/5 — Pocket. Skate *2025-01-29, version 1.4.5* It’s just a good pick up game it’s like 40 seconds each round don’t take to long but there goals you have to do two challenges to acquire a trick point which gives you one trick with one trick point but there is only like ten tricks but there is also the same way to get characters and there’s like twenty of em you can customize your board player and freesmate all that suit I like it ### 5/5 — One of the best overall skating games I’ve downloaded *2024-11-23, version 1.4.5* I’ve played a lot of mobile skating games and this is the best one I’ve played by far. I played the demo and immediately bought the whole game with the intention to open up more maps, after opening up the Beach map I was pleasantly surprised by how simple the game is but how much I want to play it. The only things I’d want as a player would be a overall points option for free skate (I like being able to see my points on the tricks I do, but it would be cool to be able to see my total overall score while in free skate as well), and if there could be missions unlocked on other maps like the Park and the Beach I feel like that would open up a lot more for the game as well. I know it’s still early stages and you guys are probably working on other fixes and bugs etc. but those 2 things would give players a greater initiative to progress in the game. And also I’m looking forward to more maps because the style and creativity of the maps are great to begin with. All in all this game reminds me of my skate 3 days and would love to see how the game grows and develops with time. ### 5/5 — A review *2024-11-20, version 1.4.5* I like the game, but if they had a little bit more maps and skateboards.it’ll be even better but I would rate it a five because it’s fun and it cures boredom whenever you’re bored.🙂 --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
