  1. [R3] Bowmasters 3/5 · US Multiplayer?: Really fun good game I spent money and all but man I need multiplayer mode so I can play this game please
  2. [R75] Drive Ahead! Fun Car Battles 3/5 · US Multiplayer removed: Devs removed multiplayer pvp in recent updates. Now all that’s left to play is player vs ai or “events” but not more online multiplayer pvp is available. Never played the game since they removed pvp. Worst decision ever.
  3. [R109] Drive Ahead! Fun Car Battles 2/5 · US no online multiplayer: one of my all time favorite mobile games but there’s no more online pvp anymore. no reason to play if there’s no way to play against my friends. the only option is playing with both of us on the same phone
  4. [R4] Bowmasters 1/5 · US ads: if I got a penny every time I got an add in this game I could buy the whole NBA twice. If i could get all the hours back of watching these ads i could start a new life a new job and start a family until im in a coffin.
  5. [R68] Drive Ahead! Fun Car Battles 5/5 · US Fun but.: Fun game but it glitches a lot and kicks you out of the game
  6. [R72] Drive Ahead! Fun Car Battles 3/5 · US Amazing gameplay, flawed execution: A couple things to start, I used to play this game years ago with my siblings and it was a blast. The gameplay is addictive and fun and feels amazing and controls really well. When I came back to the game, I was a bit hesitant but the changes were mostly positive save for a couple things. The game has an unbearable amount of ads. Every two games, you’ll get an a
  7. [R43] Bowmasters 1/5 · US Lost all of my progress: This seriously would have been a good game if it wouldn’t loose my progress after an update. I had unlocked almost every character in the game and I guess there was an update or something because I never deleted the game or bought a new phone or anything, I opened the game recently, and I saw that I had lost every character except for the starter characters. I used to have
  8. [R67] Drive Ahead! Fun Car Battles 1/5 · US Almost unplayable now: The amount of bugs that have happened during normal games and challenges are insane. Some games the opponent doesn’t even spawn, two of me spawn at the same time and instantly kill me, two games happen at the same time, both in darkness at random times making the screen almost fully dark, and sometimes I can’t move the car at all, and when the opponent doesn’t spawn in it me
  9. [R115] Drive Ahead! Fun Car Battles 1/5 · US Don’t download! Unplayable lag, not the same game: I used to LOVE this game in 2016 and it was the best mobile game I’d ever played but updates over the years killed it and at this point, it’s genuinely one of the worst mobile games you could download. I redownloaded it today and just 10 minutes in have had lag that makes it nearly impossible to play, as well as the game playing ads during timed c
  10. [R9] Bowmasters 3/5 · US good: the games good but theyre just a lil too money hungry
  11. [R10] Bowmasters 1/5 · US Huge money scam: Installed this game thinking it would be fun, literally never got to the main menus/playable spot once loaded as there is an immediate pay wall that you can’t even play the game without paying a subscription.
  12. [R74] Drive Ahead! Fun Car Battles 4/5 · US Good but want a option to only pay to get rid of ad’s: I love this game but I wanna buy the pro pass but people say that you will need to buy it again when it expires to get rid of ads. It be nice if you could only get rid of ads but unless you can buy the pro pass and get rid of ads forever then I might get it
  13. [R110] Drive Ahead! Fun Car Battles 5/5 · US For haters: It’s not I haven’t been a diamond. I’m still doing very well and I have three legendary cars that are in my trio Also, I don’t know what you’re talking about all these ads they have ads every like three rounds that’s normal amount as well as I don’t even get that many ads and the address capable. you also can always just pay for it if you’re that broke but OK.
  14. [R20] Bowmasters 4/5 · US I bought remove ads years ago: I bought the remove ads years ago when the app literally just came out and now I still get a tons of Ads? Why? How do I get contacted for this issue?
  15. [R49] Bowmasters 1/5 · US Ads, ads and more long ads.: This game used to be a lot of fun, but it’s become almost unplayable because of the excessive number of long ads. What’s even more disappointing is that I paid $3.99 for the “No Ads” option, yet I’m still forced to watch lengthy advertisements while playing. That feels misleading and completely undermines the value of paying for an ad-free experience. I understand tha
  16. [R112] Drive Ahead! Fun Car Battles 1/5 · US Ruined (DEVS PLEASE READ): The developers completely ruined their game by adding ai ads that pop up every 5 seconds and filling their game with micro transactions and battle pass I miss the old versions of the game where it was actually fun to play. Please release an old version of the game as a separate game I would rather pay to play the old game then play this
  17. [R103] Drive Ahead! Fun Car Battles 1/5 · US Downhill: Started out as a fun and enjoyable game but has fallen off a cliff. Menu is not intuitive at all and super confusing, wayyyyy too much going on and a stupid amount of ads. They ruined a great game.
  18. [R28] Bowmasters 1/5 · US TOO MANY ADS!!!: Love the game but you have to watch an ad like every 15 seconds. RUINS the entire game!
  19. [R70] Drive Ahead! Fun Car Battles 1/5 · US Ad ad ad ad ad: If I get one more ad ima end it alll I swear it’s every other match omg I won’t play this sh if I keep getting more ads then I get food a week
