βSo I'm playing online but I get no ads, which is awesome!β
βThis game has very nice graphics, no ads, and this is my favorite game. The sound is very nice! πππβ
βUninstalling the app because of annoying ads, can't even see the road because of the ads showing on the screen.β

βThe game is very nice quality and has no glitches, providing a stable experience in single-player mode.β
βTerrible experience, the game is full of bugs and glitches. I had to cancel six jobs because of bugged trailers that won't hitch like they should, robbing me of a lot of money for issues I have nothing to do with at all.β
βVery bad experience... it used to be a good game, but now it has so many bugs and glitches. It stops navigating in the middle of the mission, and the funniest thing: while driving, I suddenly got off-road and directly headed to the sky, and my truck started skydiving at 1098 km/hr. Try to fix it and help me bring my truck down to the roads again.β
βThe game is good but when going through the settings it glitches and exits. I don't know why it does that.β

The game's story aspect is generally perceived as lacking depth, with many players expressing a desire for more engaging missions and narrative context. While some enjoy the freedom of off-road exploration and the thrill of various missions, the repetitive nature of tasks and the absence of a compelling storyline detract from the overall experience. Additionally, numerous bugs and navigation issues hinder players' ability to fully immerse themselves in the game's narrative.
βWhat a game man! The only game that you can travel just for a joyride without a mission. The graphics, the weather, no unnecessary upgrades, it doesn't make the phone hot or freeze. I mean, what a game man, wow! High five to the programmer!β
βGame is awesome! Need some story to put in some diversion in the game. It would have been nicer. I love driving this sim, just need to add some context.β
βOne of the best games of the simulator genre. There are amazing features and unstoppable missions!β
βThe update is awful compared to the previous; the fuel goes down so quickly and the timed missions seem impossible. I hate it when you fail and the map pointer disappears while you have to go back to town for another mission. Also, the routes seem long and the money is so little.β
βTo complete a mission, it's impossible. When you check the GPS, it says you are at the start always; you never arrive at the destination. Please fix this, and other cars have high speed; it's now unrealistic.β
βWorst game ever! I played in my lifetime. Poor graphics, missions take so long, and it disconnects automatically. Don't download this game; it's the worst.β
