The monetization aspect of the game has received overwhelmingly negative feedback, primarily due to the excessive frequency of ads that interrupt gameplay, often leading to frustration and even game crashes. Players express a strong desire for a more balanced approach to ads, suggesting that they should only appear at appropriate times or be limited in frequency, especially during online play. While some users are willing to pay to remove ads, many feel that the current monetization strategy detracts significantly from the overall gaming experience.
- “Now I love this game a lot! I bought no ads, which works beautifully, and I only watch the ones I want to watch. However, everything else like cars and characters needs to have a lot of options in the future, such as character customization with more skin tones and vinyls. The big thing, most of all, is hopefully at some point you guys can put the clients for the taxi on the sidewalk so everyone doesn't hit them when they spawn. We also need a passive mode so you can't die.”
- “I would say the game is good, but I think any better graphics, no police in it, and we could just get the cars for free instead of watching ads. At least we get to have no ads for 25 minutes, and if you keep watching videos, you can probably get 2 hours of no ads on the game.”
- “You can make money respectfully to the gamer, not with ads every 3 minutes.”
- “Dude, you are forcing us to watch ads, but in return you give nothing.”
- “The ads are just too much, guys. Please fix that problem; it's hard to find money. The game is good, but the ads are just too much and make it easier to get money.”
- “But you need to stop with the ads; the ads are the only thing stopping me from playing this game.”

The game's story aspect is criticized for lacking a coherent narrative and engaging missions, with many players expressing frustration over the absence of a structured storyline. While there are numerous missions available, they often feel repetitive and disconnected, leading to a desire for more meaningful content, such as heists or character-driven quests. Additionally, players have noted that the missions can be overly difficult and poorly designed, detracting from the overall experience.
- “From its stunning graphics to its immersive storyline, every detail feels meticulously crafted.”
- “This is one of the most realistic games I've played yet. For a mobile game, it has all you could imagine, from real-life cars, houses, missions. I really can't show how grateful I am for this game. I've been playing it since 2020 and I have no regrets at all. Highly recommend for everyone.”
- “The game is wonderful 😊 online play is flawless, offline though is lacking a bit. It would be cool if we had an independent offline account that doesn't need to be synced with the server, and it had story missions, and in-game currency items available for purchase, with its own separate inventory.”
- “The game has a lot of grammatical errors, there is no story to the missions, and for some reason buildings are floating... (bad graphics. needs improvement.)”
- “Lot of missions but not story missions.”
- “It's a very nice game but there's one thing, there's a bug where it makes the story mission kill the mafia and others where you need to go to a checkpoint, the bug makes it so the checkpoint is very high above the ground, so you can't complete the mission that you were doing.”

- “Idk what happened to this game, last time I played it was really smooth, I was having so much fun, but now I couldn't even move without my character being jittery and glitchy. I think this game needs a lot of optimization; when you choose graphics, you can see how much FPS you'll get. In medium, I got around 30 FPS, and 50 in fastest, but in the game, it's all the same, immediately jittering and glitching like crazy.”
- “Game optimization is just bad as hell; it still freezes a lot on the lowest graphics possible, and there's not a single difference between lowest and very high graphics.”
