The game's stability varies significantly across different devices, with many users reporting glitches, freezes, and graphical issues, particularly when using unsupported phones or during screen recording. While some players enjoy smooth performance on newer models like the Galaxy S10 and Huawei P30 Pro, others experience severe lag and crashes, leading to frustration. Overall, the game shows potential but requires optimization for a broader range of devices to enhance stability.
- “Great graphics, lots of circuits and cars, no microtransactions, thank god! Comes with all the DLC ever made for it, runs great on my Galaxy S9 Plus, and it's a great value considering the only other mobile port is on Switch and that one costs $35. Beats any other racing game on mobile right now by a long shot. If you're a racing fan, whether you like sims or arcade racers, you'll like this game. Highly recommend it.”
- “Having played the game on PS, this is surprisingly quite amazing. Graphics are awesome, no glitches as yet in the game. Loving the entire package.”
- “Work flawlessly on my Black Shark 2, no lag, no glitches. Thanks for the awesome port.”

- “Absolutely terrible £10 for an unplayable game. I want to know how to get my money back. It's absolutely stupid what's the point in making a game when you steer and the car just slides, the auto braking doesn't work, the controls are awful, the graphics are terrible, and upon first opening it, it says the game won't run properly then freezes and lags.”
