  4. [R56] 5/5 · US Hair calming: AI just got my hair dyed blonde and it is itching really so so bad and then I wanted to play a game so I came to Traffic Run! and boom is it took my mind off the itchy hair and I was actually impressed because I tried playing Block Blast! and nothing didn't work so I tried Traffic Run! and boom it all changed.
  5. [R4] 2/5 · US It’s was fun, but some things could change….: I really liked the game at first, there were some ads but nothing too crazy. You also get to customize your car and build houses and stuff which is fun! But, you’re doing the same thing pretty much throughout the whole game and it gets kind of old and boring. I wish the levels would get harder and I wish you would kind of get to drive around a bit more
  6. [R14] 5/5 · US Best game but way too many ads…🥲: I love this game but this game has WAY TO MANY ADS because when I played one level, there’s an ad,another level more ads! So PLEASE put less ads… I still love this game because you can change the car colors, choose your own car and more! Five stars!🌟
  7. [R23] 5/5 · US Amazing game but…: This game is exactly like the add and I’m so happy that it’s not false advertisement but there’s more to it you can customize your car you can upgrade your house and the levels get harder wich is great 👍 but after a level add after an upgrade add otherwise great game
  8. [R16] 5/5 · US Traffic Run: So I just downloaded Traffic Run yesterday and I like it. I’m not saying I love it or hate it but it’s just like the ads but the topic isn’t the most interesting and entertaining. The game is five stars but I think the topic isn’t. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
  9. [R108] 3/5 · US BLOCKY CARS: This game is awsome but there is some ads but I don’t mind when I saw this ad I thought it was fake but no it was not but I don’t like the blocky cars I just don’t like that
  10. [R3] 2/5 · US So many ads: There is so many Ads in this app every time you click something an ad pops up it’s just annoying 🤬🤬🤬
  11. [R7] 5/5 · US I did 5 stars so then you could see this: An add after literally every level over and over again also the levels are so short and not even that fun again I just gave it 5 stars so you could see this!!!!!!!
  12. [R37] 1/5 · US no..: TOO MANY ADS IN ONE SECOND!!!!!
  13. [R18] 1/5 · US Boring: When u start to play the game it is fun but the game just get old with barely any updates.
  14. [R43] 3/5 · US Too many ads, too easy: Pretty boring game. Too many ads. I doubt the developer will look at this, but if you like pretty repetitive games this is fun. But there is an ad after every 30 second long level. Game needs to be harder.
  15. [R69] 3/5 · US Maybe make the game better: The game is so fun but not so fun there is no challenge to the game so game developers please please please make the game more enjoyable and challenging I know you have to move through moving cars but still not challenging so please make the game more fun (no no no no no no no challenge game please upgrade the game)
  16. [R13] 4/5 · US Love it!!! Just one thing.: I love this game but sometimes the game just glitches and drops me. And theatre is a lot of adds🙃
  17. [R35] 3/5 · US Some fixes: This game is great but there is some fixes that needs to be done.1.theres is a lot of ads and it’s not that big of a deal because lots of games have lots of ads but this games just has a little to much ads.2.when I’m driving my car randomly just drops underneath the road and just starts falling and I think it’s a glitch but it happens every time time I play and I think it werid. But ye
  18. [R38] 1/5 · US Glitchy: Every time I complete a level it sends me out and then makes me wait to get back in and then when I get in I have to redrew the level
  19. [R83] 1/5 · US This game sucks: Every time I play it always glitches and their is way to many ads if it didn’t have a lot of ads and it glitch all the time it would be better. And if it made you have not have Internet it would be better.(I’m saying that bc my friend don’t have service and she has this and it’s the only thing that makes her not so bored on a road trip!!!)🤬🤬🤬🤬
  20. [R17] 3/5 · US report: it is to easy
  21. [R60] 4/5 · US Good: Really fun just there are to too many ads. Whenever you drive the races are to short. But overall, it’s pretty fun.
  22. [R12] 5/5 · US Very good entertainment, but..: Can races be added to the game? Either theres a button that allows you to see different races or theres a pop up button that asks if you want to join a race. During races, theres a countdown, theres obstacles, and theres the finish line at the end and if you win, you earn coins and gems. Every racer has its own path but with the same obstacles (or a whole street wit
  23. [R15] 3/5 · US Baest game ever: This game is sooo fun but I do think it needs a new part were you can race other players/cars but other than that I think it’s a great idea for a game I love this game sooo much that I can’t stop playing it 👍🏼😊
