Player Experience Highlights
Community Insight:
Our only down hill thing is that you need to pay for the cool stuff.
Not working anymore. When you open the app, you only see a white screen.
This game rips you off if you buy anything and delete it and reinstall it you have to rebuy what you bought >:(.
Bought the full version of this app for our iPad and just sownloaded for our iPhone and it doesn't allow you to restore purchases and wants us to buy the app again this is a rip off we bought rights to the full game be very careful we will be contacting customer support.
We rated 3 stars because we bought the 4.99 package which said all cars all pro tools and remove ads well as promised we got the cars and tools but we still have ads we're disappointed that we were lied to! If you change it to here there are no ads we'll change our review to 5 stars. Also our kid loves the game.
Don't have things constantly popping up like the thing saying "you're almost there" etc.. Don't make us have to reselect tools such as the plunger, the torch thing, the air blaster, and the wrench. We should keep the tires we choose for the car until we take a picture at the end. Same thing with the headlights. You should have more paint colors such as purple, and definitely make the yellow paint brighter – it looks like it's mixed with green. Also, you should be able to change the brush stroke size and also have the option of selecting an area such as the door or rear view mirror and it automatically fills in with the color that you choose. Thank you for your time reading this, and we hope that you make these changes. We think that it would make the app much better.
It's a nice app but it's a $$$ trap.
Don't buy buy thus app it's a cheat you would pay 4.00$ for it to have all kits unlocked and no advertisements and now we have advertisements very wrong of this maker.
To complete the first 2 rounds, you gotta pay 4$…. You think we will spend money on a kiddie bs game? We ain't made of money. This is a terrible game. Don't dload it.
You play for a good 3 minutes and then you have to pay 4 dollars to do practically anything else.
Game cant be played to full extent without paying for extras. Very greedy game.
Worst game ever. Greedy and ugly.
The point of this game is to fix the car and make it look pretty, but how are you supposed to do that when all the tools needed to do so need to be paid for! There are three stages, and in order to complete two of them, you have to pay $4! We immediately deleted this app after one round through because our car still looked like crap. This app is NOT good.
Our son really enjoys this game after having played it on his friend's iPad. Asked us to download it for him, lots of fun and he now wants to be a mechanic when he grows up :).
Bad guy in jail and they jail break.
Found this through app nana and its pretty ok.
This is a good game for our 4 yr old cousin.
We like it our son can repair our truck haha. Dont care for the adds though. But overall great game good job :).
Makes you purchase tools with money to complete the game.
This game requires you to pay to fully complete the level.
