Не работает

## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated)

### 1/5 — AirPods 4(ANC)

*2026-03-02*

Not supported

### 1/5 — Device Compatibility Lacking

*2025-10-19, version 1.0.1*

The fact that this game isn’t compatible with the latest AirPods is unbelievable to me. It’s like they engineered backwards.

### 1/5 — Not recognising the Airpods 2

*2025-10-01, version 1.0*

When I want to start ot said reconnect the pods despite being connected.

### 1/5 — DOA

*2025-10-01, version 1.0*

Does not work with AirPod Pro 2 USB with iPhone 16 Pro. Cannot detect AirPods.

### 1/5 — Cannot Play

*2025-09-30, version 1.0*

Repeatedly tells me that my AirPods are disconnected even though both of my AirPod Pro 3’s are in my ears…

Maybe it’s polling my AirPod Pro Max’s as being disconnected. If so, that’s poor coding. I’m not gonna “forget” my other devices just to play this game

### 1/5 — does not work

*2025-09-30*

With my AirPods Pro3 and iPadPro 13inch, this does not work.

### 1/5 — Doesn’t work

*2025-09-30, version 1.0*

Says airpods disconnected but I am using them.

### 1/5 — Does not work on iPhone 16 Pro Max with AirPods Pro (2nd generation)

*2025-09-28, version 1.0*

When I try to start racing it says "AirPods Disconnected
Please reconnect your AirPods to continue playing"

I can hear the in-game music in the AirPods so they must be connected.

iOS 18.6.2

### 1/5 — Doesn't work with Airpods 4 NC

*2025-09-28, version 1.0*

The game refuses to even start, telling me to connect my airpods, and I'm listening to the game's music currently through them.

I'd expect the game to work with these Airpods, they may not be Pros, but they're otherwise the latest and greatest. If it's not supposed to at all, there should be a clear indicator what Airpods are supported and which aren't.

### 2/5 — Missing Beats Fit Pro support

*2025-09-30*

Hi RidePods team, please add Beats Fit Pro support which also has the same sensors for dynamic head tracking ie. Accelerometer & Gyroscope for Spatial Audio features that your app is using.

### 5/5 — I like it

*2026-03-17, version 1.0.1*

I find this to be really fun, I have confirmed it works with AirPods Pro 3, and it can work with AirPods 4 ANC, but they can be a bit finicky. The sensitivity with the 4’s is weird, but it does still work.

### 5/5 — 游戏还行。就是速度太快了。 太容易死了

*2025-11-06, version 1.0.1*

太容易死了

### 5/5 — Innovation

*2025-09-28, version 1.0*

This game is a great concept of new method of game controls. Lets just say, that it is great as a concept and will bring some cool game mechanics in the future
P.S. but I really appreciate that it has no ads or purchases whatsoever, keep it going!😁

### 4/5 — Fun

*2025-09-30, version 1.0*

Surprisingly easy to control, although calibration needs some work: neutral head position doesn’t result in middle of the road for me.

### 3/5 — I hope it gets better.

*2025-10-01, version 1.0*

The game has great ideas, but the frame time stability and graphics are obnoxiously bad. I hope it gets some form of monetization soon, or maybe a spot on Apple Arcade, so they can have more time/money to iterate on the idea.

### 3/5 — Innovative

*2025-09-30, version 1.0*

A good start to something very novel, it might have people looking at you funny though. Might I suggest a calibration method or some sort of “level setting” mechanism. My AirPods seemed to have a left tilt bias no matter what I did. This is a 1.0.0 release so I get it. Keep up the innovative work though!

### 3/5 — Play music first

*2025-09-30, version 1.0*

I kept getting a message AirPods weren’t connected even though the were.  Once I played music through them though it fixed that and worked.  It’s a basic game but interesting.  There is an option to accelerate/decelerate by tilting your head forward and back but that is really hard because you can’t stay focused on the screen - I feel that would be better if you just tilted the phone up and down instead for acceleration and your head forward steering

### 3/5 — Calibration, top speed and variance, fewer obstacles needed

*2025-09-29, version 1.0*

Calibration to current posture would be nice if possible apparently I lean left. Braking and deceleration doesn’t seem to work at all. Current mode too fast, obstacle cars placed unnaturally dangerously close and oncoming and relatively slow.
Great concept, needs improvement.

### 3/5 — Loads but that’s all

*2025-09-29, version 1.0*

Not sure what the trouble is.  Running beta iOS 26.1 or that I renamed my AirPods or that I have two sets of AirPods listed in devices and one is always disconnected.  Giving it a three as it’s a great concept.

### 3/5 — GREAT idea, terrible execution.

*2025-09-28, version 1.0*

starts out on “ludicrous speed”, nearly impossible to stay alive more than five seconds.
