I haven’t even started playing yet and I’m stuck with this bug AND IT KEPT ON HAPPENING so please fix it now ### 4/5 — Need controller *2026-07-28, version 1.0.121* Nice game. Needs to be able to support backbone controller and other controllers ### 3/5 — Additional files *2026-07-24, version 1.0.121* I had to download 20 additional files for the game to work, I should not have to do that. It should already have the files downloaded when I downloaded the game. ### 4/5 — Won’t give me rocket award *2026-07-11, version 1.0.121* I’ve gone faster than 130 mph in the rocket car and it won’t give me the award. Why not?? Please add more races against AI. There’s never any players on multiplayer. ### 4/5 — Game great but *2026-06-19, version 1.0.121* Please give an update to allow users to play their own music in the background.. MUST BE ABLE TO PLAY OR OWN MUSIC IN BACKGROUND WITHOUT LOOSING GAME AUDIO!!! Please Add this to the main game and this ### 4/5 — kind of good *2026-06-18, version 1.0.121* it’s good and when you don’t have to pay $10 for a game, just get this one. It’s a good. Demo even though it’s not a full game it’s good and yes, you do hit a pay wall after 30 minutes or you could just re-download it a lot ### 4/5 — If you can’t afford $10 for a game….. *2026-05-29, version 1.0.121* Yes $10 for a game that is better than 95% of the games in the App Store. Looks fantastic. The physics are spot on. Damage is great(a bit far fetched in derby’s tho) and tracks, tracks, tracks. Works great with ps4 controller and yes you hit a pay wall after 30min…… Hmmmm “Try and Buy”. There might be something in there that suggests it will time out or be a demo? Anyways…. I’m hooked. My only complaint is the bots… EVIL best describes them. Will crash out intentionally and wait on the track for you to come around just to crash you out. Or not even try and brake when you’re entering a corner to rear end you. Oh, and could care less about winning the race as long as it isn’t you. Will stray from the course to get close to you to take you out. So like a jump overhead? They will drop down and run with you to take you out of the lead or help protect another bots lead. A car will sometimes come flying out of nowhere(literally flying… well jumping…) and knock you off the road to take the lead on the last lap. Infuriating but challenging. Oh yeah…. Memorize the tracks early. There are a lot of tracks and even more variations of them. Learn where not to be the bots will peel you off into a barrier even if it takes 4 of them. Update…. The bots cheat. They will rear end a crashed out car but magically teleport through it and still be next to you to push you off the track. All the bots goal is to keep you from winning. So 23 enemies on the track that don’t care about the race at all. Only you not winning no matter how much they have to cheat to do so. And they will cheat. Still a great game. Just aggravating…… ### 2/5 — Тупая игра *2026-05-12* Почему в начале надо загружать ещё?! ### 1/5 — Сделайте игру лучше *2026-05-11* Сделайте бесплатно полноценную игру ### 1/5 — This game SUCKS! *2026-05-09, version 1.0.121* The most pay to play game in the world, if it charges you this much just might as well get beanmgdrive. THIS Game is not worth IT!!!! ### 2/5 — 유로의내야합니다 *2026-05-08* 이게 하면시작에 몇 분 이라는 게 있는데 그게 제한 시간이에요 ### 2/5 — Игра *2026-04-28* Игра бомба…НО. Для чего оставлять людей без выбора. Сделайте какие нибудь ограничения, хотя бы в день по 30 минут, но блин, не все имеют возможность купить, жду тот самый день когда игра будет хотя бы частично бесплатной, а пока что не больше 2х звезд. ### 3/5 — Аааа *2026-04-22, version 1.0.114* Сделайте демо версию пж ### 1/5 — I can’t play the game *2026-04-17, version 1.0.114* When I downloaded the app it said I needed to download flies so when I did it said “error” and sent me back to the beginning I tried redownloading but the error was still there Can you fix this? ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Disappointed *2026-09-11, version 1.0.121* After trying 6 times to dl this for my 6yr old autistic son, I gave up. It says I have to download assets 1/4 after already downloading 14/15 mods or something like that. And then errors out. After reading more reviews, I’m glad it wouldn’t download so I can keep my money. ### 1/5 — No, no no no no *2026-09-10, version 1.0.121* It won’t even let me play the game ### 1/5 — You can’t actually play *2026-08-25, version 1.0.121* It’s just a trial after 5 mins of playing you have to bug it for £10 ### 1/5 — Crashes *2026-08-14, version 1.0.121* Crashes after a few minutes on an M5 iPad Pro. ### 1/5 — Stupid *2026-08-10, version 1.0.121* Why would you give Me 20 mins of gameplay then take it away after I mean it’s a great game but it’s not really free ### 1/5 — Grayson *2026-07-10, version 1.0.121* I couldn’t be able to get in because it wouldn’t let me download the thing and keep on saying retry ### 1/5 — 30 minutes then pay *2026-06-19, version 1.0.121* 30 minutes for free then you need to pay 10 dollars to play more! I’ll up it to 5 stars if it gets fixed ### 1/5 — Unsatisfied *2026-06-19, version 1.0.121* Low graphic ### 1/5 — Loading up *2026-06-13, version 1.0.121* Stuck on the loading page does not move on ### 1/5 — The cars *2026-06-07, version 1.0.121* Sometimes when I race the AI will have cars that are unavailable to me and i find it unfair because I am stuck will limited cars and they have access to all the cars in game and it’s supposed to be a try and buy so I would think that I would have all the cars and another thing that needs to have an update are the interiors because currently they are very unrealistic. This is probably the longest thing I have ever written ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Amazing *2026-07-17, version 1.0.121* I did the try and buy. Started without using a controller and couldn’t believe how good the physics were. Then when the trial timed out I was like “well damn this the best racing mobile app I’ve ever played” and had to buy it. Then I read you can use a controller… omg it’s 1000% better with a controller. Preset 9 for the controller configuration and it’s my favorite game. So many tracks, good tuning, and great physics. I literally don’t even touch the console anymore. Only thing is I wish there was online modes, but the game doesn’t get boring or not challenging offline at all. 10/10 try it and if it’s for you, buy it. Super cool to have dirt ovals, asphalt ovals, mixed surface, dirt, and asphalt road courses. The tracks are beautifully designed as well. ### 5/5 — Very col *2026-07-12, version 1.0.121* I lik it ### 5/5 — Wreckfest *2026-07-01, version 1.0.121* The game is fun until you have to pay 14 dollars for the full game and I was confused until I fully looked at it. Overall it’s a fun game ### 5/5 — If you can’t afford $10 for a game….. *2026-05-19* Yes $10 for a game that is better than 95% of the games in the App Store. Looks fantastic. The physics are spot on. Damage is great(a bit far fetched in derby’s tho) and tracks, tracks, tracks. Works great with ps4 controller and yes you hit a pay wall after 30min…… Hmmmm “Try and Buy”.

Memorize the tracks early. There are a lot of tracks and even more variations of them. Learn where not to be the bots will peel you off into a barrier even if it takes 4 of them. YOU HAVE TO BE MORE AGGRESSIVE THAN THEY ARE TO WIN AND ALL THE OTHER CARS ON THE TRACK HAVE YOUR NUMBER. ### 5/5 — My review *2026-05-16, version 1.0.121* It was fun and the game physics were really good and it was cool for me to play it for the first time ### 5/5 — Проблема! *2026-04-10* Я приобрел игру, полную версию спустя какое то время пишет что мне нужно снова ее покупать? Объясните пожалуйста как это работает? Почему мне нужно начинать все заново? **Developer response:** Hi, we are very sorry for the trouble! We released a patch (114) that fixes the issue. Please update the game and use the "restore transactions" button to restore your purchase(s). Sorry for the inconvenience! Kind regards, ### 5/5 — Блиин *2026-04-03* Сделайте бесплатную версию в игре итак и так присутствует Донат и много кто донатит в игры ### 5/5 — Sehr gut *2026-04-02* Man hat 30 Minuten Zeit zu spielen und man soll wider kaufen für 10 Euro. Das Spiele ist gut man kann über Xbox ,PlayStation spielen ### 5/5 — Never write five star reviews *2026-03-31, version 1.0.114* I love the controller haptics. It is so fun and so funny to just feel it vibrate it’s fun also really fun game ### 5/5 — Тем, кто играл в carmageddon, flatout *2026-03-30* Отличная игра, хорошая оптимизация. Работает с dualsense. Ради нее купил проектор (чтобы играть с планшета на экран во всю стену), а потом и ps5 (потому, ipad m1 сильно греется на максимальной графике). Игра 10/10. Лучшее, что мне встречалось в Appstore за последние 15 лет. Жалко, что нелья купить полную версию в playmarket. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/). User reviews are verbatim App Store reviews.
