### 4/5 — WRC

*2020-03-24, version 1.2.15*

I have played most of the WRC games, this one has weird physics, hate the starter car I’d much prefer a stock fiesta for a starter but overall it’s a decent game.

### 3/5 — Fix the bugs and it’s perfect

*2019-06-04, version 1.2.15*

Great game but it crashes on Australia level 3...please fix this bug developers!!

### 2/5 — Preview is deceiving.

*2017-12-30*

The game doesn’t look as good as the video and screen shots.

### 2/5 — NOT WORTH THE MONEY!!

*2017-09-04*

I spent $3.99 on this game... For what? The graphics and gameplay are both equally bad. The car noises are behind the curve. The only big upside tot his game are the Official Drivers and cars. Gameplay is tricky. The car doesn't handle properly and the tilt controls are surprisingly not smooth. Touch controls aren't better are the car will violently turn left of right. Free games without branding and licensing have better controls than these. The graphics aren't bad but racing games these days have much better graphics than years previous. These graphics are comparable the Colin McRae rally which came out ages ago. The car noises are blunt and boring. Overall I don't recommend buying. Save yourself 4 dollars!

### 4/5 — Quite good game play but needs more tracks and too many faults

*2017-02-13, version 1.2.15*

Brilliant game play, needs more racing tracks, more freedom on upgrading your car and not just your driver.
Bit of a disappointment to tell you as soon as you get to the 3rd race in Australia it crashes and won't allow you to play on.
Come on WRC this is a paid game it should not be doing this.
Get an update to fix the issue.

### 1/5 — Wrc

*2017-02-12, version 1.2.15*

Will not update on iPad 4 waist to time

### 1/5 — Unplayable

*2017-02-06, version 1.2.15*

Sensitivity on the controls is so bad this game is totally unplayable, even when adjusted to lowest levels of sensitivity.

### 1/5 — Game crash

*2016-10-26, version 1.2.15*

Game keeps crashing in the Australia stage. Don't waste your time or money on this app. The developers don't care enough to read the reviews.

### 1/5 — Crashing

*2016-10-11, version 1.2.15*

Game was good until I wanted to progress through the Australia stage. Fix this or give me my money back. Not happy

### 2/5 — Not bad- but massive bug!!

*2016-09-17, version 1.2.15*

Not too bad for the price, but can't play anymore!!!
No car selection or tuning, but you get to unlock drivers.
I used button rather than told to steer, too much headache!
However biggest problem is stage 3 in Australia, crashes and I'm now stuck and can't play!!!!

### 3/5 — An Email I Sent About Support

*2016-06-29*

Bigben Interactive,

I assume you get emails like these on some sort of regular basis but please read this. I have technical issues with WRC on iOS. I'm using my iPhone 6 Plus running iOS 9.3.2 to play the game version 1.2.15. I really enjoy this game, but on Coates Hire Rally Australia Stage 3, the game continues to crash. Beyond this point it is unplayable for me. $3.99 on the App Store is a bit much for a game with in-app purchases that crashes continuously at the same spot. I really appreciate the Mfi Controller support as well, but please use the triggers for the controller so there is analog control of the gas and brake pedals. Also, please update the game for full controller support so there is no need to touch the screen. An option to flip the gas and brake controls would be much appreciated as well. I sincerely hope you take the time to read this.

Thank you.

### 1/5 — Piece of crap game.

*2016-05-22, version 1.2.15*

This game is just a waste of money. Uncontrolable with giroscope, the behaviour of the cars is unreal and besides that, graphics aren't that great at all.

### 1/5 — Bad steering

*2016-04-10, version 1.2.15*

Good graphics let down by near impossible steering with the sensativity turned right down still no control, so please take note and fix as soon as please,the Colin macrea rally has good steering compared to this app.

### 2/5 — Bad Handling

*2015-12-22, version 1.2.15*

Would been a brilliant game, if handling was better, car feels light and almost impossible to steer with the sensitivity

### 2/5 — Imposible to drive - nice graphics

*2015-12-12*

Purchased this game based on the nice graphics but it is undriveable and frustrating

## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated)

### 1/5 — R U B B I S H

*2021-01-20, version 1.2.15*

Waste of money and time even at £3

### 1/5 — Rally game

*2020-11-04, version 1.2.15*

Bought this game £5.00 it’s really crap don’t buy it the controls of from the 80s definitely thought it would be better than this fir a fiver I’m gutted shocking deception on the makers hang your heads

### 1/5 — Awful

*2020-06-03, version 1.2.15*

Not even worth one star! There are much better options out there for the same price or less, and they don’t charge more once you’ve purchased the game. Awful graphics, nothing like the pictures in the preview. The cars handling is terrible, reverse gear doesn’t work so I hit a wall and had to abandon the game because I couldn’t reverse. I want a refund!

### 1/5 — Shittest game yet

*2019-10-24, version 1.2.15*

Don’t get it

### 1/5 — STOP....don’t waste your money like I did.

*2019-02-20*

If you play RR3 or any other high end racing game this will be a huge disappointment.

### 1/5 — Don’t waste your money

*2019-01-20, version 1.2.15*

Gameplay decent, tracks decent, but Just as it’s getting good, 3rd race in Australia, it crashes, and you can’t go any further, waste of time and money when is brits want to race in the wales rally and can’t. Don’t bother buying, shocking. Paid for the game and can’t even play it all. Absolute joke

### 1/5 — App crashes do not buy

*2019-01-09, version 1.2.15*

Do not buy app crashes

### 1/5 — Rally!!!!!

*2018-08-04, version 1.2.15*

To make very Realistic game 
Make in the car view!
So far is the worst WRC game!

### 1/5 — Should be a FREE game

*2018-01-02*

So I have this game on PS4 and I’m absolutely amazed by it! I bought this game thinking I could get a similar experience on IOS. I opened up the app and was like what is this...the graphics are definitely not top notch and the game play is a little funky

### 1/5 — Waste of $4

*2017-03-10*

Don't waste your time or money on this. Control is impossible to adjust to any normal driving level. Steering is all over the place making the game a joke.

### 5/5 — Best rally game ever.

*2020-05-27*

This game is so awesome and I love it so much. I wonder why it only has a 3.3 rating. The game is awesome

### 5/5 — Can’t pass the 3rd Australian race

*2019-04-22*

When o launch the 3rd race my phone restarts and I tried everything. Restart my phone, updated my phone, deleted the game (mistake) and other alternatives.
If someone has a solution I’m a taker.

Thanks.

### 5/5 — Fantastic!

*2017-09-24*

What the hell?

It crashed at 3rd stage of AU. I use ipad pro 9.7.

Please, please, fix it!

I've played Mcrae and Rally master.

I love these games but for now this WRC is my betst rally games. 

Night drivings are very hard and challenging.

Day drivings give me a beautiful fresh scenes.

Pysical engine is so good compared with above 2 games.

I just ented Polland stage, I wish there is rainy condition stage.

I eagerly wish next version.

I am a big fan!

### 5/5 — Great game! ...Why the hate???

*2016-07-18, version 1.2.15*

Don't know why there's so many dislikes. Colin McRae rally used to be my fave until no more updates for the 6s left the controls all over the shop but this is a great alternative. Hopefully they can keep improving it (pleeeeease) as its been a while since the last update.

### 5/5 — -5 stars. Biggest ripoff on app store

*2015-12-29*

Terrible controls RUIN this game. We pay and get 1 car and 1 location and the most messed up touch steering controls you can imagine. Tilt is even worse. Impossible to advance thanks to the horrible controls. Earn coins that are a fraction of what is needed to get other cars. CHEAP. UNFAIR. A COMPLETE RIPOFF.

### 5/5 — Great game

*2015-01-10, version 1.0.0*

Forget the other reviews this is the best rally game on here , use the front camera view for best results , works perfect on iPad . I have been waiting for a rally game like this for a long time . No need for in app purchases just play every day and get free coins .

### 5/5 — The Rally Simulation!!!

*2015-01-08, version 1.0.0*

Great game touch or tilt controls I just love it u don't need to pay in app purchases

### 5/5 — Pathetic!

*2015-01-06, version 1.0.0*

Pathetic excuse of a rally game,think the developers need to look at our old generation games consoles for some inspiration! Colin mcrae rally on the ps1 beats this hands down. Shocking really!

### 5/5 — Great game

*2015-01-06, version 1.0.0*

Not so much of a simulation it's more of an arcade rally game. Graphics are great and the on screen controls work well. Has a good sense of speed as your flying through the tracks. Earning points at a good rate to unlock the extra cars and tracks. For £2.49 it's a really good game.

### 5/5 — I've been waiting this game on iPad for so long!!!

*2015-01-02, version 1.0.0*

I just got it! I'm sure it will be great!!!
