Waste of money. ### 2/5 — Terrible game *2017-03-12* This game is a god awful rip-off. The watch addition is nothing more than a split second replay and the actual phone gameplay has unresponsive controls with some ok PlayStation 1-era graphics. NEEDS UPDATES! ### 3/5 — Alright *2016-11-29* Blue ice???? In real life Ice is not blue it's white ### 4/5 — Pls update *2014-02-07* It would be nice if we can choose what city you want, add better graphics, please add visual help to know where you should go, better controls and iOS 7 support ### 2/5 — Need an update *2013-11-11* You need to add a selectable board brush and thumb comtrool steering. I have had this app for over a year and a half. It's time margin and associates ### 1/5 — Horrible game *2013-07-04* This game is brutal, uncontrollable waste of money! Do not buy! ### 1/5 — Game requires your apple id to operate *2013-03-01* The game is mediocre at best and gets boring quick - but the big concern is it requires to you to login and stay logged in with your apple id. Don't bother ### 1/5 — DON'T BUY THIS GAME IS IS THE WORST *2013-01-19* The worst game ever ### 3/5 — Good game *2012-12-17* Good game exept you should be timed for the time in between periods and how bout exact colors instead of sliding a bar over more levels please there should be a score on the scoreboard and a mood for how long the players have to skate the corners are a little sharp and the zamboni should have sponsors ### 4/5 — Sponser codes *2012-05-21* Where do I get Sponser codes ### 3/5 — Neat idea, so-so execution *2012-04-16* Controls really need some work. Gyro steering is jumpy and difficult to control. Should be much smoother. Would prefer thumb wheel steering and thumb control acceleration. ### 1/5 — Zamboni reality *2012-03-04* This is way not the same as driving a real one. I am operator, and thisn't close to real reality. Would need more improvement in the feature. As well, for the patern. Wich 1 perimeter ( game ) is false ; Zamboni pat as 2. Driving need skill..Where's the controls ? ### 4/5 — Wash Water *2012-01-12* Where is the board brush?! I can't find that last .2% need the wash water too lol great game though ### 4/5 — Better on ipad then i pod touch *2012-01-05* I know i already wrote a review but all i have to say is the the is the i pad is better for this app then any other device. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Scam *2021-12-21* Never play a fraud , for 4 dollars it is trash and very trashy quality ### 1/5 — Absolute Garbage *2019-05-23* Never buy this game because you don’t even do anything. SAVE YOUR MONEY!!!! ### 1/5 — Rip off *2018-11-04* Bought this game a long time ago and decided to reinstall it and I have an iPhone 8+ so now I can’t play it and this was my favorite game you guys should really make it to all phones again ### 1/5 — It sucks *2017-10-21* This game is not worth 4$ it glitches and the graphics are terrible.it also doesn't let you drive worst game out ### 1/5 — Too Glitchy *2017-08-14* I wish I could like this app. It's a simple but great idea. BUT It freezes going around corners. It leaves parts of the ice unclean after you go over with it. It doesn't always clean close to the boards. Such potential. But horrible, annoying glitches. ### 1/5 — Horrible app *2016-08-08* The controls are horrible, I might as well have been playing a game from the '80s. Don't waste your money as you cannot be refunded. ### 1/5 — boring and too slow *2016-03-14* not even worth free ### 1/5 — Awful *2015-04-21* This game is absolutely awful. The graphics are from 1999 and the game is just straight up boring. Though I did just get this for my brother, I would never play this game. This is not worth $2 and should never be worth $2. I highly say you should not get this game. Would give this 0 stars if I could ### 1/5 — Broken? *2014-12-24* Either it doesnt work on ios8 or i cant figure out how to play this game. ### 1/5 — HorriAweful *2014-03-20* Wanted a game for my 3 year old son as he loves zambonis. This app is terrible. You have to drive it by balancing the iPad. Brutsky! ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Great *2014-02-04* I drive the Zamboni for a living, and this is as real as it gets!!! ### 5/5 — Awesome *2013-01-01* One of my favourite apps its so fun!!!!! ### 5/5 — Awful *2012-12-23* I've driven a ice resurfacer so I know the correct way to clean the ice solo and with a partner and the game penalizes you for doing it correctly not worth $2.99 ### 5/5 — Great game *2012-12-05* Love this game. Would love an update with board brush, and be able to drive off of the Ice and dump the snow that's in it. Also maybe achievements? ### 5/5 — Metro DC DJs *2012-07-08* I have driven both Zamboni ice resurfacers and Olympia ice resurfacers and this is close to the real thing. Add in the extras for board brush, ice break, water control, etc and you will have the full package. Only real "ice resurfacers" use the manual settings because we like the control. I would try to make the corners a little more realistic as the sharp 90 degree turns are a little too tight, especially for the Zamboni. High kudos to The Zambonis band for providing the music, just why "Beast of New Haven" for the title song and not the obvious, "Drive the Zamboni"? ### 5/5 — Good *2011-12-05* Good ### 5/5 — Awesome!!! Lots of fun. And addicting haha. *2011-09-02* This game is really fun. Props to whoever thought of the idea. ### 5/5 — This is great fun! *2011-08-10* I picked up Zamboni Challenge from the App store and it is a lot of fun! I recommend everyone who has an iPhone IPad or iTouch to go ahead and buy it! ### 5/5 — Hockey *2011-08-08* This is addicting. ### 4/5 — Customer support review *2018-11-11* Had an issue where the game stopped working on my iPhone 8plus. Sent an email to customer service and they fixed it within a week. Very helpful and friendly. Game is great for children who are crazy about zamboni’s.
