Overall, the narrative experience is seen as underdeveloped, with a call for more varied and location-based missions.

- “When it's summer, me and my friends go hunting for cars to complete our quests after school, and it's so much fun.”
- “Not for me, cars don't look anything like the actual cars, no real story mode, just 3 challenge races which you then sit there waiting for it to end. I found it a bit boring, so I uninstalled.”
- “Daily and active missions could use more variation besides taking photos of a brand.”
- “Got a daily mission to find a 'duty' type, thought it might be police due to the icon, but scanned a few and had no luck.”
