### 5/5 — I love this game

*2026-08-08, version 1.1.8*

I remember playing this game when I was four years old like yesterday and when i finally found this game in the AppStore it brought back so many memories of playing this with my dad in my brother Ty to the creators of this game

### 3/5 — Nearly great

*2026-04-07, version 1.1.8*

The idea behind the game is really good but the difficulty is huge. The left/right controls are terrible and I find my thumbs constantly slipping upward and missing moves. Four stars are near impossible to get as the statistics show. Gets boring quickly.

### 5/5 — Вау

*2025-03-22*

Я не узнаю игру

### 1/5 — Was Fun , Until Last IOS Update

*2024-12-05, version 1.1.8*

Won’t load after latest IOS  update , now it won’t load on my iPad , which the update was intended for.  I will never buy another game from Apple , and though I paid less than a dollar on this game , to unlock the next chapters in the game , they charge to advance in the game , won’t be worrying about any of that . Not a coincidence that they have Getaway 2 now , so no expectations or care whether the developer fixes the issue or not , I deleted this waste of time and won’t be downloading the replacement or any game from  the developer , infinite .

### 3/5 — Все хорошо

*2024-10-23*

Мультиплеер отсутствует, да графика под iPad не адаптирована, а так играть можно 😉👍

### 5/5 — The best game in my childhood

*2024-05-09, version 1.1.8*

Love crashing my vehicle into things such as trees, other cars, and different things in the way. It’s such a fun game that’s super underrated.

### 5/5 — Sick game

*2024-03-23, version 1.1.8*

Reckless getaway is the best thing since sliced bread.

### 3/5 — Great fun but…

*2023-06-17, version 1.1.8*

The steering buttons are too small. Your thumb is on the icon but nothing happens.

### 1/5 — Another Forced Game Center Game

*2023-02-26, version 1.1.8*

I can no longer play this game because Apple’s Game Center is requiring me to create a Game Center account to play.  I cannot support this game as long as it requires me to create an account.

### 5/5 — AMAZING

*2023-02-04, version 1.1.8*

If you want a free roam game where you get the perspective to be chased by law enforcement  you came to the right place  not only it’s for a good price but yet super fun there are many levels to choose from  I really recommend oyu take a look at this game
