### 1/5 — Game keeps crashing on my device despite still in App Store

*2024-12-22, version 3.1*

This game keeps crashing on my device despite an update 6 months according to the developers. I’m running iOS 18.2 Why does this keep happening? Please help

### 5/5 — Absolute Classic

*2023-10-31, version 3.0*

I remember first playing this in 2012. Only recently rediscovering it. I’d never seen gameplay this good in any of the skateboard games available at the time. Nowadays, two of the level goals in sketch park “creater to top of upper wall” and lower wall, no longer trigger for some reason. So it’s impossible to complete the sketch park level. Other than that it’s still a super fun game just like I remember it :)

### 5/5 — Excellent

*2019-06-04*

J’ai été nostalgique et au ré téléchargé ce jeux et je ne suis pas déçu du tout. La difficulté est assez élevée à la manière du skate dans la vraie vie et les objectifs sont compliqués mais agréables à réaliser . Le seul bémol est que Le jeux soit en anglais.

### 3/5 — Impossible to Finish

*2019-05-13, version 3.0*

It’s a fun game, but some of the challenges just don’t register anymore, probably due to a lack of updates. It’s a nice game, but don’t expect to get 100%. Some of the first level challenges just don’t register, no matter how many times you try (railslide the two walkway rails, and crater to wall challenges for example).

### 1/5 — Crashes

*2019-03-18, version 3.0*

This game crashes on my iphone 5 please fix this issue.

### 1/5 — Keeps crashing, doesn't work at all

*2018-05-29, version 3.0*

The games doesn't even start, then crashes. Do I get a refund?

### 5/5 — Great graphics, one recommendation

*2017-11-30, version 2.7.2*

This game is actually one that I’d want to play everyday. I havn’t played it since 2014, so I’d reccomend you work the original Pure Skate to iOS 11.

### 1/5 — Crash crash crash, garbage app!

*2017-08-28, version 2.7.2*

Don't waste time on this app until they update for new iOS the game doesn't even open it crashes immediately every time.

### 2/5 — Fix the crashing

*2017-07-23, version 2.7.2*

Crashes too much

### 5/5 — PLEASE UPDATE TO IOS 10.3!!:(

*2017-06-17, version 2.7.2*
