### 2/5 — Impossible to play

*2022-11-11, version 1.14*

Long roads, no checkpoint. I tried many times, but it is not controllable :(

### 2/5 — Очень сложное управление

*2021-08-16*

Приятная музыка и атмосфера игры, но жутко сложное управление:(

### 3/5 — Idea is cool, but not a realisation

*2021-07-14, version 1.14*

I like how the idea of this game. It reminds me Art of Rally game. But the realisation is not ideal. 
The steering is made for one finger, and you must to get used to it, as there are no other options now. So you can’t be very accurate and you can’t slow down or use reverse. 
Some levels lag very much. First I thought it could be a some kind of slo mo, to help with corners, but on second thought it looks like game can’t load resources in time.
Also it would help to get cut through the trees in corners, as I could not see the car when tall tree was in apex.

### 2/5 — The control are too much sensitive

*2021-07-05*

I think you should change The game play.
When you Turn - by swiping left or right - it too much hard to turn. The car takes a tree everytime.
You should do an other way to turn The car and be less sensitive.
Ex : press hold right -> turn right
You can take example with The games : #drive - horizon Chase

### 3/5 — Wouldn’t say this is worth the money

*2021-01-27, version 1.14*

Steering is a bit temperamental, makes it super difficult especially when you go round corners you can’t see very well

### 3/5 — A little too difficult to control

*2020-11-22*

When the car spins out its too difficult to bring back on the path. Wish I could control the speed for a limited time like braking every now and then would’ve been awesome.

### 3/5 — Has potential

*2020-11-19*

I wanted to love this game! Saw it on TouchArcade and instantly preordered it. I agree with the reviewer who said a tutorial might help. The controls are frustrating at first and I’ve had to restart probably 8-10 times in the first 15 minutes playing this (I’ve played racing/drifting games for 20+ years!) There are also numerous typos in the clues.

UPDATE: okay played a bit more and still mixed. The frame rate drops to ~10fps every 20-30 seconds which is frustrating (running iOS 14.2 on iPhone X). The music is good though!

### 3/5 — Getting better

*2020-11-11, version 1.14*

The developer is working to improve this game. Difficulty was quite high but is now slightly improved. 

For some reason on my iPad Pro it plays slower which makes it easier to play. Perhaps a couple difficulty settings which just adjusts the game speed may make it more accessible.

### 3/5 — Unique, interesting game

*2020-11-03, version 1.13*

It is a challenging and unique game that is keeping me interested. However, it needs some adjustment. Even the second level of this game was hard to pass, due to the inconsistency when it comes to steering. The changing camera angles are also annoying to play with, and need work to make the experience smoother. I would hold off spending your money on this game until the bugs and flaws are fixed.

### 3/5 — Nice game, controls quite touchy, loops seems to break a lot though

*2020-11-02*

Sometimes on maps you have to do a loop to get more drift points, but larger ones are impossible due to the game thinking you are travelling the wrong direction

**Developer response:** Hello! Thank you so much for the review! I’ve just sent an update that takes care of the loop issue and brings a few other improvements. Should go live in a few hours ✌️

### 1/5 — Die Steuerung.....

*2021-07-07*

Ist schuld für die schlechte Bewertung . Hallo liebes Entwickler-Team, testet Ihr eure Spiele auch, ob diese spielbar sind? Anscheinend nicht. Ich werde dieses Spiel stornieren und eine Rückerstattung beantragen!!! Wenn ihr nicht wollt!!!!dann will ich auch nicht👎👎👎👎👎

**Developer response:** Hello, thanks for the review. I am working hard to create a better driving experience. Please keep an eye on the upcoming updates.

### 1/5 — Hopelessly fast

*2021-02-08, version 1.14*

Impossible to control the car, goes far too fast, infinitesimal finger movement causes it to swerve right off the road and crash. Haven’t got past the first bend in 20 tries. Deleting app now.

### 1/5 — Hoping for a better game

*2021-02-07, version 1.14*

Developers need to enable players to get past endlessly restarting. I noticed the number of players with 0 points is far greater than the players who at least scored something. Some help would be welcome in providing some tips on avoiding oversteering and constantly crashing. Players need to be able to steer back onto the road instead of being unable to do anything other than watch the car crash or go around in circles until it ends up crashing again. Developers could take some tips from Temple Run where it’s possible to make progress by swiping or tilting to get around bends. 
It has the potential to be a good game but needs improvement.  It’s a waste of £1.99 as it stands.

### 1/5 — Uncontrollable

*2020-11-11, version 1.14*

Uncontrollable interface makes this unusable

### 1/5 — Unresponsive

*2020-11-10, version 1.14*

So irritating and boring ...where are the puzzles? Either over responsive and under responsive controls ,still stuck on level 2 which i have played over and over ..impossible

### 1/5 — Impossible to play

*2020-11-01*

Is it me or the game?

**Developer response:** Hello; I’m sorry you’re having a bad experience. Can you please provide more info regarding your issue? I’ll be happy to try to fix as soon as possible. Ovidiu

### 1/5 — Schlechte Steuerung

*2020-11-01*

Dafür, dass es unter den Top 5 Spielen ist, ist es eine Frechheit wie mies die Steuerung ist. Schade ums Geld. Sicher eine schöne Idee des Spiels, aber leider ist das Vorankommen in dem Spiel gefühlt unmöglich.

### 1/5 — Awful controls

*2020-11-01*

One of the worst games i’ve downloaded. Lost interest in a dozen plays. (5 minutes)

**Developer response:** Hello, I am the maker of this game. I am sorry you’re not enjoying my game; it would be really helpful if you could outline the issues you’ve encountered, I’d like to create a better experience for you!

### 1/5 — Crached

*2020-11-01*

App does not run anytime on any devices :(
I'll write abuse to apple support about it!

**Developer response:** Hello, I am the maker of "the longest drift". Can you be more detailed regarding your issue? I would love to have it fixed as soon as possible. Thanks!

### 5/5 — hat Spass gemacht! 😊

*2021-09-12*

Habe gerade das letzte (36.) Level geschafft. Hat gedauert… die Steuerung ist nicht leicht, aber es stimmt schlicht nicht, dass das Spiel nicht „spielbar“ ist!

### 5/5 — After balanced update more better for casual players

*2020-11-04, version 1.14*

After the update, the game is much friendlier and I no longer need to throw 11 Pro against the wall. That's why I want to change my previous rating. I finished at level 18, my abilities won't let me go. :D

### 5/5 — Tutorial

*2020-11-02*

Would be nice to have a drift school or something similar to get hold of controls. Right now i have no clue what im doing. If i hold two fingers on screen it starts spiraling like inside a tornado

### 5/5 — Good game

*2020-11-01, version 1.13*

Its a good game. I recomand.

### 5/5 — ❤️

*2020-11-01, version 1.13*

Love this game

### 4/5 — Good but needs work

*2023-07-17, version 1.14*

The game is awesome for just sitting back and Chillin although I wish there were more than 2 modes and also for zen mode PLEASE make the road any colour other than white? Like for some it’s seriously hard to tell the difference. Otherwise I absolutely love the game another thing I would add is to make the “drift score” to actually reflect your drifting not just if you get the lil circles like more than half the time I’ll have a flawless run but the score is only ever 1 because I missed the circles by a centimetre. Make it watch your drifting and say like UNIQUE DRIFTING or EXCELLENT or STYLISH based off what your run looked like.

### 4/5 — Good

*2021-08-16*

Little bit hard to drive the car. And when car stalk with tree by its back part, it starts spin around like hell.

### 3/5 — Average

*2021-08-17*

Its good for fun but could be more better if you could control the car more precisely……
Pros
- Good musics
- top down and graphics
- relaxing and curiosity 

Cons
-  vertical only not for ipad…(no landscape mode).
- car control could be better
- whenever car is out of the track you have to restart …..

### 3/5 — Тормозит

*2021-08-16, version 1.14*

На iphone12 игра тормозит, когда идёт дождь в игре.

### 3/5 — Inverted controls needed

*2021-08-06*

Needs inverted controls the steering just feels wrong
