  • Converted skeptic
    At first I steered away from this app thinking that it was just a gimmicky one touch sort of game. I'm not that big of a fan of this character's other games. When it went free, I downloaded it. I would gladly put some money in Halfbrick's coffers after playing it for only a short while. It has some real charm and enough diversity and surprises to keep me coming back for more. I would say this is the best of its kind with the exception of Tiny Wings. Please support this developer.

  • Tight Controls and Fun Tracks
    Really, this is the kind of racing game I would like to see more of. It has a good level or difficulty and a great feeling of control over your car. I feel like I'm driving the vehicles in Cruisin' USA at the arcade with the arcade wheel. Really. I think the presentation is pretty good as well. Audio is my biggest gripe because there is no soundtrack. Maybe that is intentional and it does give a feeling if desolation which is nice and appropriate. Unfortunately, the sound effects on their own don't stack up and so it leaves me feeling like something is missing. My suggestion would be to add some limited soundtrack or improve the sound effects. Also, some of the textures for the ground can be a little strange looking as they get filled in. It makes some tracks look "watery" instead of stable. Some of the physics are off, too. If you hit a barrel or fence it should clank, roll, shatter, break, etc. Some of these objects you can drive right through and then they won't be there when you come around again on your next lap. Otherwise, great lightning effects make the graphics feel rich and the destruction of your vehicle is realistic. This is a great title and I would recommend it.

  • Well designed app with good functionality
    I really like how this app is designed as just about everything is convenient and intuitive. It's a fantastic service and a lot of fun. I do wish there was the ability (maybe there is and I haven't seen it) to search and subscribe to channels that aren't currently streaming. Other than that, I'm very pleased with the app and would recommend it to anyone.

  • Wow
    Pretentious, crashy and buggy. This is barely a game with very little that is interesting and a lot of technical problems. Sorry, I rarely offer bad reviews but this just doesn't work.

  • I Agree with Nour S
    You have made some terrific improvements to this app since I was first introduced to it on a coworkers iPad. I would really like to see some font management, some icons and especially the ability to include notes on connecting lines. Otherwise, this is filling a need we had in the office. I would love to see it more robust, but I don't know what that means beyond what I said above. I haven't tried to do this yet, but it would be great if there was some way to use iTunes to manage sketches. Maybe a desktop app paired with the iDevice app?
