### 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).

### 2/5 — Fix the crashing

*2017-07-23, version 2.7.2*

Crashes too much

### 3/5 — Great Gameplay, poor reliability

*2017-02-02, version 2.7.2*

Would definitely be a 4-star had the app worked consistently. The gameplay is great and definitely addictive when you get the hang of it, long after you finish all the goals. The problem lies within the app itself, in that there's a 10% success rate of it launching. If they were to fix the apps inconsistent launch issues and update the graphics and add different spots, this would be top of the line.

### 2/5 — Please, fix this bug!

*2016-05-03*

Many times, when I open the game, suddenly the app closes. Please, fix it. I enjoy the game, but it bothers me a lot!

### 5/5 — Good game, needs more content.

*2015-01-15, version 2.7.1*

As a skate game lover, I love this game with a passion. However I've had this for roughly a year, and not one content update has been created! I want more levels, new goals! Come on... I mean how much do people have to beg just to get another level! Sigh.

### 2/5 — EVERYONE LISTEN UP

*2014-12-27, version 2.7.1*

IT IS STUPID THAT WE HAVE TO COMPLETE 5 LEVEL GOALS TO UNLOCK THE NEXT SKATE PARK IF WE PAYED $3 AREADY DUMB RIGHT FIX RIGHT RIGHT NOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

### 4/5 — awesome! But...

*2014-12-25, version 2.7.1*

This is one of my sons favorite apps, however, when he plays on his ipad, the game seems to continuously crash after everyone of his runs which he and I both find frustrating and annoying. Thats my only complaint. Sometimes it works correctly and sometimes it doesn't. If they could try and fix that bug that would be awesome !!

### 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.

### 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.

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

*2017-06-17, version 2.7.2*

Please update the game! Its really amazing and i loved playing it on my old phone but now it is unable to run in my new iphone please fix!! 😭😭😭

### 5/5 — IPhone 6s Plus и IPad Pro

### 5/5 — This is a great game

*2015-02-10, version 2.7.2*

One of the best skate games on any platform. It's challenging to the liken of Thrasher: skate and destroy. 
Please give us CROOKED grinds and SMITH grinds.
Also, how do you nollie when auto push is off????

### 5/5 — Fun

### 5/5 — My favorite game

*2015-01-22, version 2.7.2*

I honestly find this the best skate game and game in general. I really love this game. I've been addicted to it for a year or more. I wish they made more maps for it but I still think this game is perfect. Once you play you won't want to stop
