Clicked on restore purchases but that didn’t work. No way to get them back. ### 1/5 — Good start but then a big disappointment *2018-09-25* I downloaded this game and thought it was really good initially. I got up to level 26, getting all the necessary boats. Then the next time I opened the game I was only allowed to do the first 10 levels again. It said I needed to buy the next boat to do level 11. I had plenty of coins so I tried to buy the racing boat again but it wouldn’t let me, as I already owned it. So I pressed Play but back to square one - literally! This went on for 3 days with no change. I contacted the developer but they did not answer. I have now deleted the game as there’s no point keeping it. Very disappointed. ### 1/5 — I do not like this game... *2017-04-30* This game is not fun at all because when you crash just a little bit, it fails the level. Plus, the boats are go too fast, or are just annoying to control. It would be amazing if we were allowed to go somewhere were the grip things wouldn't allow you to, because it makes your game more free... 1 outa 5 fom me...... ### 2/5 — To hard to do Course *2019-09-29, version 1.0.2* The course is really hard because when you try to turn the yellow boat it crashes.it doesn’t turn tight and that it is to big to fit under bridges. So be aware when you download the game ### 2/5 — Deleting this app. *2019-03-03, version 1.0.2* The first boat was fun and managing speed just barely possible. I bought the speed bought with points and other than broad turns where doors doesn’t matter, I can’t control the boat. I’ve kept trying to play, but I give up. ### 3/5 — I kept on crashing *2023-11-16* I Am only 10 years old and I kept on crashing but it is not that glitchy. But there are so many ads. ### 3/5 — I HATE YOUR BOATS *2019-12-08, version 1.0.2* In 2019 you should add some Jackskee ### 3/5 — Too many crashes! *2019-03-09, version 1.0.2* I thought I was progressing well controlling the boat, but it just keeps crashing after experiencing very minor dings during the course. I seem to be permanently stuck at one of the levels now. I will probably keep trying, although playing the game is extremely frustrating. I would enjoy playing something easier with changing course scenarios. It’s a good boat game, but seems to go out of its way forcing you to continuously crash to prevent you from advancing. ### 3/5 — Fun, but I can’t control the speed. *2019-02-20, version 1.0.2* I’d really enjoy this game if I could control the speed. The controls are little tiny lights with a slider. You can’t see them and the difference in speed or even reverse or forward is almost impossible to manage. I’d give it a five, but this is so frustrating I think I’ll probably set it aside. That’s too bad as it’s well done otherwise. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Best game ever *2024-03-14* No internet needed super fun easy to play a good challenge to unlock lots of fun heeheheheheehhahahahaha I luv game ### 5/5 — Good game *2023-12-01, version 1.0.2* Amazing game really recommend for car trips ### 5/5 — Good *2023-07-12, version 1.0.2* So good ### 5/5 — So good! *2021-07-30, version 1.0.2* This is way better ten that other boat game! ### 5/5 — Free play & grand canal mall *2021-07-05* So the game is pretty good but I need u to add free play an a new area in Venice it is the Grand Canal Mall ### 5/5 — Brilliant *2020-12-19* Bloody the bloodying love this game but we need more boats and there should be free play ### 5/5 — Boats *2020-04-01* More boats and places to go different maps ### 5/5 — Get this game *2019-05-05* Best game ever ### 5/5 — I like your app *2019-01-05, version 1.0.2* I love your app i am going to play your app every day ### 5/5 — Amazing *2018-07-07* Great game, I absolutely love it!! --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
