  1. [R9] Car Driving School Simulator 3/5 · US Emily Lynn: It’s was so much fun but when you get to a certain point, you have to pay to move on. Please remove that
  2. [R31] Car Driving School Simulator 1/5 · US Game sucks now: I used to love this game. I even paid money in order to play all the levels. But now after all the updates, the game now sucks. Why do you need a high-level car just to play other levels why? Do you need a certain amount of stars to play more levels the game was literally perfectly fine when I got it. in fact, it would’ve been my favorite game but now because of all the stuff you
  3. [R71] Driving Academy 4/5 · US Best driving game but…: This is the best driving game I’ve played in terms of graphics and world layout. But when you’re driving passengers, there’s a couple GPS routes that take you over double lines which is illegal and you get points taken off for. I try to go another way and let the GPS recalculate the directions. Edit: It’s in the open world when you’re driving a couple of the passengers’ rou
  4. [R119] Driving Academy 4/5 · US Don’t let it fool you!! 🐬🐬: This game is super fun and I love it! But there is something… if you pick the driving school, sometimes the “driving teacher” will tell you that you missed to road sign when clearly you did not miss any sign because there was NO sign at all!!! It is also very easy to crash your car in this game, when you go slow and accidentally crash it says that you crashed but usual
  5. [R6] Car Driving School Simulator 3/5 · US The game: It’s a fun game and I love driving games but over all the reverse button didn’t work a few times and when ever I played and finished it gave me a Crash -40 all though I never hit ANYTHING; STILL AMAZING THOUGH!
  6. [R43] Car Driving School Simulator 2/5 · US Needs updates!!! 😡: Was super fun to play at first, but after level 6 you have to upgrade your car and never shows how, which leaves you stuck renting a car ever second. Another thing, this game is super glitchy! I went to start driving and my whole screen keeps glitching, leaving me to not play this game again.
  7. [R115] Driving Academy 1/5 · GB Has a mind of its own: Only play if you like where you have no control and the brake doesn't corroperate with what you're trying to do. The steering wheel stops after one tiny turn and when you turn it over turns it sometimes. I am great at car games but this one makes it seem like your terrible. Do not recommend!
  8. [R4] Car Driving School Simulator 1/5 · US Keeps crashing: Every time I try to open the app it crashes. The loading bar gets to 35% and crashes
  9. [R22] Car Driving School Simulator 1/5 · US Doesn’t load: Seriously, y’all need to fix bugs. Game doesn’t load for me anymore.
  10. [R73] Driving Academy 1/5 · US Trin: I used to be able to play this game off-line but now you have to have Wi-Fi to play it, which is stupid
  11. [R112] Driving Academy 2/5 · GB Glitches: I used to love this game however I now can’t play at all! It’s always glitching and freezing. I hope for these bugs to be fixed!
  12. [R7] Car Driving School Simulator 1/5 · US This is the worst game in the world: Not an exaggeration, you cannot progress with spending money. You can buy a car in game for $50😂. Don’t waste your time this game is horrible and the creators need to go bankrupt.
  13. [R93] Driving Academy 3/5 · US It’s okay: It’s okay but I had to buy to not have no ads it’s very fun
  14. [R94] Driving Academy 1/5 · US DO NOT like the update: The new upgrade system is cool, but there were so many other car options that were removed! What the heck!? Bring those back! I liked the original amount of choices!
  15. [R10] Car Driving School Simulator 1/5 · US Ad problem: So this game was good until… they added 4x the amount of ads I only get 30 seconds to play every time before an ad after the ad I play another 30 senconds and repeat. I DO NOT recommend this game if you do not like ads. | dev please remove some ads |
  16. [R19] Car Driving School Simulator 1/5 · US Ad problem .: Way to many ads
  17. [R61] Driving Academy 2/5 · US needs to be fixed: wayyyyy to many ads literally after ever single level or something theres an ad, that needs to be fixed asap in order for more plays
  18. [R72] Driving Academy 3/5 · US Too Many Ads: Driving Academy would be more fun and enjoyable if there weren’t so many ads right after you do Something.
