Monetization in this car customization app has shifted heavily towards paid content and frequent ad viewing, with many users criticizing the abundance of ads and the paywalls locking most cars and features behind purchases or diamond-based systems earned through ads or challenges. While some appreciate optional rewarded ads to unlock content, numerous players find the current model intrusive, limiting, and frustrating, especially given bugs causing lost progress or continued ads after purchasing ad-free options. Overall, the transition from a mostly free experience to a cash-grab model with microtransactions and unavoidable ads has caused significant dissatisfaction among the community.
- “Overall, this is the best car customization app with absolutely no ads and insane car models.”
- “And I'm one of those kids that really likes trucks, and it's no problem with me paying for microtransactions because this is honestly amazing!”
- “Over the years, I have paid for every in-app purchase.”
- “This used to be a perfect game, yes you needed to watch a single ad to get one car out of a pack, that was good, but now every single car is locked behind a paywall, using diamonds instead of tokens, and those tokens were only needed on trucks, semis, bikes and muscle cars; a 30 second ad for one of those was awesome. Now I have to watch 14 ads for a pack, not good, please revert back to the old system it was much better.”
- “You've taken a really great app and ruined it with greed and monetization.”
- “I used to really love this app until a bit ago, now every single car costs diamonds to unlock and the only way to earn diamonds are ads (which are limited to six per day which means you get basically nothing) and participating in competitions, which even then have a limit and takes a few days to get your diamonds.”

The app suffers from frequent freezes, crashes, and slow loading times, often causing users to lose their progress when customizing vehicles. Numerous glitches include missing or invisible car parts, failed saves, and buggy challenge features, making stability a major issue despite the game's strong customization options. While some improvements occur with updates, many users report persistent and frustrating stability problems.
- “The app will not let me create a new account, it won't load new vehicles, and the app freezes numerous times.”
- “On the other hand, the app itself has so many bugs, freezes a lot, is very slow and makes me want to give it up when I have to restart it so often, especially after freezing while I'm almost done tuning a car I'm enjoying so much.”
- “The amount of cars and mods and graphics get 5 stars, but the game constantly freezes either when selecting a vehicle or modding, showing the loading wheel of doom until you restart the game and your modifications.”

The game’s graphics are widely praised for being beautiful, detailed, and impressive, especially given it’s a mobile app, with many noting stunning visuals and exceptional car customization options. However, some users mention occasional glitches, slowdowns, and a lack of advanced graphic settings or updates for older models, while a few criticize the aesthetics being impacted by ads or pay restrictions. Overall, the graphics significantly enhance the gameplay experience, though there’s room for improvement in optimization and customization depth.
- “The details, graphics, and tuning options are amazing.”
- “The graphics are amazing, there are tons of cars and customization options.”
- “Amazing graphics, I would recommend if you are just bored or if you are looking for your dream car, tons of options to choose from, such as Dodge, Lamborghini, Bugatti, Ferrari, and so many other car brands, 5/5 would recommend.”
- “There isn't any graphics controlling option in the settings.”
- “The graphics should be higher and there should be more customizations to do with the engine and parts.”
- “The older cars don't get updated with any of the visuals like the wheels, seats, etc.”

Users report significant optimization issues, including lag, stuttering, and poor performance even on mid-range devices, indicating the game is not well-optimized for various hardware or screen sizes. They suggest adding a wider range of vehicle types, performance modes, and customization options to improve gameplay variety. Despite its rich content and mod options, the interface and overall performance need refinement to enhance user experience.
- “I don't have a budget phone either and yet I get performance as if I'm on a Galaxy A13.”
- “Runs smoothly, has great car mods, and has great cars!”
- “The game has potential, but the performance is terrible.”
- “I've been playing this on and off since 2013 and in the time since, these developers still haven't been able to create a UI that doesn't lag, stutter, or is just poorly optimized.”
- “I get there's a lot of content but you have to make your game optimized before adding so much content.”

Users have mixed feelings about the music in the game; some find the current soundtrack distracting and repetitive, expressing a desire for options to mute or customize it. Others suggest adding a personal music playlist feature to enhance the experience. Overall, while the music is considered important to enjoyment, its current implementation detracts from gameplay for many.
- “In the game, we can hear awesome music which adds to the fun experience while customizing cars and racing.”
- “The game has been one of the most relaxing things I do and I love it.”
- “It would be great to have a feature where you can add a custom music playlist to go with cars, trucks, motorcycles, and more.”
- “Ok, I've been using this app for about 4 years. It has been one of the most relaxing things I do and I love it, but not so much lately. I hate the music it plays now. There's no way to shut just the music off. It's very distracting, and if my wife is in the room watching TV, I have to wear headphones just to play. Please add a way to turn off the elevator music; it would be greatly appreciated.”
- “The lack of music makes the game extremely boring.”
- “Moving the car is literally by picture, hard to use, annoying music, bad car quality.”
humor
4 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
100%
Users find the humor aspect lacking, describing it as repetitive and unfunny, with some disappointment over removal of beloved cars that contributed to the game's charm. Overall, the humor is seen as unsuccessful and in need of improvement.
- “The funny thing is that it is the same ad over and over.”
story
3 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
100%
The story aspect is minimal and serves more as a creative backdrop, allowing players to freely explore and customize without following a complex narrative. Users appreciate the relaxed, open-ended experience rather than a traditional storyline.
- “Love it! Let's the creative mind work well. Good if you just want to set your own ideas loose with lots of cars to choose from and lots of parts to mess around with. Ads are a little annoying, but well, I suppose you can't have it all. Good game to pass your little spare time, no need to follow an epic storyline or long shooter missions, just relax and create.”
- “It's a completely different story.”
- “I've tried it on 3 devices and it's the same story on each of them.”
gameplay

The gameplay is praised for being enjoyable and well-designed, with impressive customization options. Players suggest adding more free cars, particularly Australian models, to enhance gameplay variety.
- “The game is really nice, with great gameplay and impressive customization options!”
- “Brilliant gameplay; only moan is to fix the yellow and add more Aussie cars.”
- “Maybe make more cars free in the truck config for more gameplay access.”
emotional
3 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

Users find the game emotionally impactful, evoking feelings of heartbreak and frustration, especially when faced with its challenging mechanics and high price point. The experience can be deeply moving but also discouraging for some players.
- “It's pretty heartbreaking to see this being locked behind a triple A price tag.”
- “Truth be told, I went full dumbass and didn't grasp the mechanics of the game before I cried like a 6-year-old girl with a skinned knee.”
- “I just want to cry in the corner.”
grinding
2 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
100%
Users find the grinding in the game tedious and frustrating, especially due to the introduction of a premium "diamond" currency required for customization. Earning diamonds through lengthy challenges or paying real money feels excessive, making it discouraging for occasional players to customize their cars without investing significant time or money.
- “Now they introduced an awful 'diamond' currency and you can't even put different rims on a car without paying like $14.99 or doing tedious 'challenges' for a few days to get diamonds to use.”
- “I play once every few weeks so I'm not interested in grinding a mobile game just to customize one or two cars.”
