The monetization model of the game has received mixed reviews; while players appreciate the minimal ad presence and the fun gameplay, many feel misled by the initial impression of it being free.

- “I give it a 9 out of 10 because it's fun, no ads, but we need to buy the full game. Not cool.”
- “I liked it when it said there would only be in-app purchases.”

- “Tell me you've never skated in your life, but you can make an app that's the biggest cash grab. Why give me the option to customize if I only get 2 options: buy the game or enjoy very limited options?”
