### 1/5 — WASTE OF A DOLLAR

*2022-08-26, version 1.0.3*

Was so excited to buy, serious nostalgia right? Wrong! Doesn’t even open, it immediately crashes and closes app. Don’t waste your energy, time, or money.

Paid for app and it doesn’t even open.. tried to get app support and it populated a 404 page :/

### 1/5 — Junk

*2022-06-06, version 1.0.3*

This just automatically closes right when I open it. Never got to play it once after paying for it. Was basically robbed lol. I’ve deleted and redownloaded like 5 times.

### 1/5 — Crashes

*2021-11-26, version 1.0.3*

It won’t open. It starts up for a split second then it goes back to the home screen . I have the iPhone 11 and everything is updated but it won’t start. Is there a way to fix this?

### 1/5 — Won’t even open. Do not buy.

Stop allowing this to be sold on the App Store. Won’t open.

### 1/5 — Doesn’t work on current iOS.

*2021-08-18, version 1.0.3*

Bought it. Downloaded it. Ran it. It doesn’t run. 

Bought for nostalgia of the game… not to remind me of Windows instability.

### 1/5 — Doesn’t Open

*2021-07-31, version 1.0.3*

I been purchasing apps since 2008. This is the first one in over a decade of apps that doesn’t even open.
It goes to the launch screen and immediately crashes. I’ve tried deleting the app and reinstalling to no avail…
Waste of money and time 👎

### 1/5 — This needs to be removed from the App Store

*2021-06-23, version 1.0.3*

It crashes immediately on launch on my Xs Max

### 1/5 — Non-functional

*2020-12-26, version 1.0.3*

When I realized this game was on the App Store, I was SO EXCITED and immediately downloaded it. 

...only to find that the app crashes the second I open it. This either needs to be fixed ASAP or I need a refund. It’s a shame.

### 1/5 — Do not buy

*2020-12-26, version 1.0.3*

The game does not load at all. Although it states it is available for IOS 8+ in the description, it does not work at all on the current IOS. Don’t charge people money for an app that doesn’t work.

### 1/5 — Does not run! No refunds!

*2023-07-26*

Downloads something but does not even open. App support link gives 404. Don’t buy. If you want to waste a dollar, PayPal to me and I will waste it for you. But don’t buy this app.

### 1/5 — Crashes On Open

*2023-07-17*

I just purchased this app for my iPhone 13 Pro.  It has not successfully opened once and crashes every single time.  Help or refund please!

### 1/5 — Terrible

*2023-01-17, version 1.0.3*

Doesnt work. Opens then closes every time. iPhone 11 user. So happy I just wasted a dollar on nothing.

### 1/5 — App Store finally has a scam

*2022-12-22, version 1.0.3*

Not only does it not work, at all, but Apple won’t even refund you the money lol. It’s .99…so it’s not about the money but it’s the principal of it all. Tisk tisk Apple, tisk tisk.

### 1/5 — Doesn’t Even Run

*2022-12-18, version 1.0.3*

Don’t waste your money, the app doesn’t even open. Light a dollar on fire instead, it’s more entertaining.

### 1/5 — Won’t run

*2022-12-05, version 1.0.3*

Pay inflated, heavily taxed money for this app and it doesn’t even open. The QC person should be Clinton’d

### 1/5 — Doesn’t work

*2022-11-29, version 1.0.3*

App does not even get past loading stage! Don’t buy it! You can’t even contact support about the issue anymore!

### 1/5 — Just wasted $1

*2022-11-22, version 1.0.3*

Would be great if I could even open the game. In all my years of purchasing apps from the App Store, I’ve never had one that kept crashing without even loading.

Waste of money.

### 1/5 — DAFAQ

*2022-09-13, version 1.0.3*

I wanted nostalgia and so I bought it.  App won’t even open on my iPhone 13….. I hope that this isn’t a forgotten app and this will get fixed if not I want my dollar back!

### 1/5 — Won’t load on my iPhone 13 Pro Max

*2022-08-27, version 1.0.3*

### 5/5 — Update for iOS 11 64bit

*2018-01-02, version 1.0.1*

Cannot be played on 64 bit

### 5/5 — No sound?

*2017-06-15, version 1.0.1*

Where is the sound?

### 5/5 — Just like original. Perfect!

*2016-06-27, version 1.0.1*

I'm really glad someone recreated this app! It's a lot of fun and very nostalgic. Feel like I'm sitting in front of the old PackardBell again!!! Thanks!

### 5/5 — Awesome

*2013-05-21, version 1.0.1*

Last time i played this windows 3.1 was the current windows, i'm amazed i even remember this game.

Back then i couldn't pass the yeti, at least i can do that now. 😋😅

### 5/5 — SkiFree

*2013-01-18, version 1.0.1*

The controls are great. This port is great. 

Race down the slope and avoid obstacles just like in the original game!

### 5/5 — Awesome throwback

*2013-01-10, version 1.0.1*

Great game. I love the Microsoft entertainment pack! Skifree is definitely the best from them all though. My favorite.

### 4/5 — Good

*2013-10-30, version 1.0.1*

Crashes after viewing the leader boards.

### 3/5 — Mixed Bag

*2020-08-22, version 1.0.3*

This runs GREAT on my iPhone 7 and surprisingly rubbish on my iPad Pro.  I haven’t had it crash on either, but the weird thing is on the iPhone it defaults to landscape mode (makes sense) yet it works in portrait on my iPad. ONLY in portrait on my iPad, which seriously smooshes and distorts the look of the game.

I do like that you can change the controls, but it unfortunately just isn’t as addictive on a little phone as it was back in the day staring at a computer screen.

Ps, yes there is no sound. Because the original never used sound either!

### 3/5 — App crashes

*2019-12-16, version 1.0.3*

The second go the game crashes. 
1-fine
2-bleeps out mid ski 
1-fine....
2. annoying

### 3/5 — Good not great

*2013-12-21, version 1.0.1*

Awesome memories but not worth the price. Doesn't have screen orientation, screen controls aren't good either. Still fun but not worth the price
