### 1/5 — Lack luster app

*2026-07-05*

Its small and for the price this needs a large data base. Becomes so boring after 20 mins. Where are the updates and vehicles?

### 3/5 — Good

*2025-06-12*

It might be only in my case, the volume control correspondance seems only with acceleration and graduating rpm but not with decreasing rpm at shifting downs…
Anyway the variation of bobbling sounds is great!

### 4/5 — Great app but very limit options (free)

*2024-12-26*

This app is GREAT! It is well built, extremely polished, and the sounds are incredibly good. The reason for dropping this from 5* to 3* is because just 1 car for free is not very fair unless you buy the monthly plan. Also, having to watch ads to just “fuel” up the car so you can play the sounds is inconvenient, on top of having only 1 single car, but I understand that you gotta earn money somehow, but a different would be much better.

Don’t get me wrong, this app is extremely capable, but for this to be something successful, redoing the current system is almost guaranteed. Implementing ideas like…

-Adding more car sound profiles. Most of the profiles available are v8s that sound very similar. Add something like a Mitsubishi Lancer Evo X, Lancia Stratos with a 6 to 1 exhaust, Ferrari F40, Mclaren F1; maybe even a Renault R25 F1 car? ;)

-Adding a “free” variant of the pro plan where the user would pay around 4500 coins for a whole month of use, which is around 30 ads. This concept could very much exceed the income you receive from a 3$ monthly plan, which is the highest costing option available.

-Using the existing coin system to purchase new car sounds, which again could again greatly increase profits from ads. Add some variable pricing too for different cars. Make something like an F1 car cost 900 coins vs the 150 coin cost of something like a Mitsubishi Lancer Evo X.

I really hope you take my review into consideration, and have a great day! (And Merry Christmas!)

### 5/5 — Great app

*2024-11-03*

I can only suggest this app to every car lover, highly advise to pay for unlimited experience
