### 2/5 — Not as good as It looks…

*2022-07-24, version 2.1.1*

I really don’t like this game I think it looks better on the cover than it actually is. So that’s a very bad problem with this game. And adding to that is how it gets harder. Literally as soon as you start playing like I think you should have took you time on the difficulty level.

### 4/5 — update it so I can scan my tech deck

*2020-10-22, version 2.1.1*

I wish I could scan my teck decks that I Own

### 3/5 — Was fun for a few minutes.

*2020-10-07, version 2.1.1*

Until it put me in the first tournament. I’m supposed to get 9000 points? I can barely clear 1500. Don’t know what else I can do? Very discouraging, app deleted.

### 4/5 — Game opinion

*2020-07-28, version 2.1.1*

I think the game is really fun, I just wished it was online, and I wished we could custom are own skateboard.

### 2/5 — Trash

*2020-05-05, version 2.1.1*

This is just a touch game, it doesn’t allow you to actually do what tricks you want. There is just a set line you do, and I hate there is timing for the buttons. Would be a better game if you could skate freely.

### 3/5 — Nice game for 5 minutes

*2020-04-23, version 2.1.1*

It’s a good game honestly, but you can only play for about 5 minutes cause the energy bar runs out so fast. This game would be a lot better if you could just play without having wait every 5 minutes for your energy to fill up again.

### 3/5 — It’s okay

*2019-11-10, version 2.1.1*

I just got the game and the graphics are okay and the game is kind of hard but I think in my own opinion that touch grind skate 2 is better because it is actually like a finger board and this game is like just a normal skateboard game

### 4/5 — Needs updating

*2017-09-20, version 2.0.5*

Please update this app!

### 2/5 — Mocks skateboard games

*2016-11-11, version 2.0.5*

If you like skateboarding don't get this game. I'll admit I love skateboarding a lot. But when I saw this, I was lucky this didn't ruin my love for it. It has solid tricks though, even cool tricks,that is if you can ACTUALLY GET THE STUPID BUTTON PRESSING RIGHT!!!!!!! This made me mad. I got the game literally 5 minutes ago and almost immediately deleted it. All skateboarders out there, don't get this game. Skateboarding games you should get- true skate and TWS endless skateboarding. 👎🏻 ☹️

### 4/5 — Good game but could use some tweaking

*2016-08-09, version 2.0.5*

I love playing this app but I honestly get a little bored with lack of options. I think this app could use some updating. Like;

1). Other Sk8 Truck companies

2). Bearing upgrades

3). Wheel upgrades

4). Grip Tape upgrades

5). Hardware upgrades 

6). Character updrades
  a. Hair style
  b. Clothing
  c. Shoes

Also the attach to FaceBook option is not working. So if that can be fixed, it would be great. 

Thank You

### 4/5 — PLEASE COME OUT WITH MORE!!!

*2016-02-27, version 2.0.5*

I love this game and have beaten it on the last two phones I've owned. I play it almost daily, but PLEASE come out with some new levels!  Still love the game. 5 stars if it comes out with more.

### 1/5 — There is better than this

*2015-07-03, version 2.0.5*

Skateboard Party is better because you can actually control your skater I would rate 0 stars of I could.

### 1/5 — Worst skateboarding game ever

*2021-11-15, version 2.1.1*

If you like skateboarding do not play this game I love skateboarding but it is ultimately hard I hate this game and the creator of this game you are dumb and if you want to play a realistic good skateboarding game play true skate it is the number one most realistic skateboarding game in the whole world and you use it like you are really skateboarding.

### 1/5 — no

*2021-02-14, version 2.1.1*

this game is pure trash ther is nothing about it that is good you can’t do the tricks that you want i love skateboarding and this game almost made me hate it i played for like 10 minutes and deleted it so to every skater out there, get true skate, skate city, or a tony hawk game because this game is just too bad to be a game it is so boring and deserves to be deleted

### 1/5 — BAD GAME!!!!!

*2021-01-07, version 2.1.1*

This game is kinda dumb it’s fun but it has such a delay I downloaded it and it was working fine moments later it froze I reset it and it did the same thing.

### 1/5 — Puke

*2019-05-02, version 2.1.1*

Don’t play this. It’s not fun and all you do is tap the screen. You don’t even pick what tricks you do. Worst skateboarding ever made.

### 1/5 — Dumb game

*2019-04-06, version 2.1.1*

When I first installed the game I was expecting a game where you actually do any trick you want. 1 minuet I found out it was horrible, the button pressing didn’t register and graphics are really bad.

### 1/5 — Won’t let me restore all my purchases

*2019-03-25, version 2.1.1*

I’ve had this game for awhile. I got a new phone and it won’t restore any of the in game purchases I’ve made.

### 1/5 — This game cheats

*2017-05-21, version 2.0.5*

It constantly wants me to but boards to upgrade when I'm doing fine. It also says on Theresa 11,000 and I only miss 2 and it's 3,000. Seriously... this game needs serious improvement.

### 1/5 — Hate it so much

*2016-03-05, version 2.0.5*

So i got into the game excited then i saw it the way you had to play i expected better well there goes tech deck

### 1/5 — Dumbest crap ever

*2015-11-21, version 2.0.5*

This game has absolutely  no creativity all you do is press and swipe to do pre made lines. Biggest waste of my time.

### 1/5 — Bad controls

*2015-11-01, version 2.0.5*

You hit the buttons you're suppose to hit at the exact time and it doesn't take your press. They need to redo controls on this game and then I'll rate it higher.

### 5/5 — Best skate game since THPS on playstation

*2020-07-09, version 2.1.1*

I love the gameplay. Very simple to pick up and enjoy. You follow the prompts on the screen to tap, swipe & hold as your skaters performs tricks.  The graphics are amazing and the tricks are realistic so it stays true to reality.  I love that it's Tech Deck so all the boards are real.  
Please make a sequel or add levels!

### 5/5 — GREAT GAME!!!

*2020-01-20, version 2.1.1*

Personally I have my own tech decks at home so when I go somewhere I have something to do it’s supper fun!

### 5/5 — I love Tech Deck I’ve been fingerboarding for a long time and i still use them

### 5/5 — Great👌🏼

*2016-03-22, version 2.0.5*

In my opinion It's one of the best skating apps.👏🏼 (among free ones!🖐🏼)

### 5/5 — Tech Deck:Updates Of The Future...

*2016-02-15, version 2.0.5*

So All I Ask To Make This Game Absolutely Perfect,Is To Add A Couple Of Things.
•Create Your Own Characters 
•Shop To Buy Different Clothing,Trucks,And Wheels
•Name Your Character
•Scan Any Board
•Customize/Make A Board.
And Finally,The Last Thing.
•Show Us How The Sticker Looks On The Deck And Let Us Be Able To Rotate The Board.

BYE!

### 5/5 — Best skateboarding game in App Store

This game is one of my favorite games on my phone. If they can make more updates or make the level go more higher then 60 it be fantastic but other then that you should get this game if you don't have it. ( Tech Deck kids version for $2.99 or Tech Deck evolved version for free.) GoodGames!!!
