**What reviewers complain about**

- 🐛 Too many ads to play for any amount of time
- 🐛 Experience so far has been a bit clunky
- 🐛 Pay for ads to be removed? Maybe it'll happen. Buy a car required to film the next video? Game doesn't recognize that you bought it. Try to find same model for sale in market? The one you have just got downgraded… lots of potential and fun, but lots of bugs and rarely updated
- 🐛 Purchased the non-adverts for $2 but the banner ads are still present. Not only that but they seem to cause hang ups when the banner ads change
- 🐛 The google ads on the bottom of the screen block what looks like there may be buttons, but they can't be closed

- More videos to upload with the cheaper cars
- Continue to make money offline as well. Even just up to 2 hours or so
