  1. [R2] Temple Run 2 5/5 · US TRPClubNJ: Best game ever! Play it all day everyday! Diehard Temple Run Gamer! Hotgas Runpro Temple Run Club of NJ!
  2. [R8] Temple Run 2 5/5 · US The location: This game is fun, hopefully Temple Run can add location at Angkor Wat temple of Cambodia. I’ve seen many influencer ran at that temple and post it to TickTock, Facebook, instagram and etc and the place looks awesome.
  3. [R10] Temple Run 2 2/5 · US “Update” disaster!: I’ve been playing this for a few years now (over 10K runs) and seen quite a few revisions that were added, then removed, or changed. The current Runner selector has to be an update mistake! There is no continuity for the runners, no way to group, no way to find, no logic to sorting! The previous selector wasn’t ideal, but whichever committee decided this was an “improvement” sh
  4. [R14] Temple Run 2 5/5 · US Temple Run 2: I started playing this game in fourth grade and love it to this day!! So much fun
  5. [R3] Temple Run 2 3/5 · US Temple run two endless escape: It’s a really really fun game, but when I gave it to my six-year-old brother, he got terrified of the monster. I would recommend it to nine and up. And also, it’s kinda hard so be careful.😝🤣😜😂
  6. [R9] Temple Run 2 3/5 · US It’s a little bit too hard….: It’s not bad, but the challenges are a little bit too hard so I wish for some easier challenges and some of the obstacles might just make you question why? Like what if there’s a booster like super jump for obstacles that are bigger like longer gaps you can’t even do with the boost like the OG jump or what if there’s some challenges that even crushed people
  7. [R39] Temple Run 2 3/5 · US BAD GAME FOR MOBILE USERS: I want to be clear: I no longer enjoy your game at all. The tilt controls make it completely frustrating and unenjoyable. It’s ridiculous that I can’t swipe for all movement like in the original Temple Run. Please consider adding a full swipe control option. The current controls make the game unplayable for anyone who dislikes tilt
  8. [R46] Temple Run 2 2/5 · US Tilting: Game is decent, but the titling of the phone makes it unplayable when ur just lying down. Pointless feature

  11. [R13] Temple Run 2 1/5 · US Account Progress Lost, High Score & Characters Missing: I’m reporting a major issue with my TempleRun2 account where a significant amount of my progress is missing. I previously had a high score of 22,819,187 points along with multiple characters including Usain Bolt Santa gently at several others these were legitimately earned unlocked overtime at some point my progress appears to have been rese
  12. [R19] Temple Run 2 1/5 · US No sound: Had no sound in my 16 pro max; i tried everything to fix it
  13. [R1] Temple Run 2 1/5 · US Annoying: Won’t stop asking after a million times to rate the app. I paid for no ads
  14. [R7] Temple Run 2 1/5 · US Too many ads: I hadn’t played this game in a long time. Opened it up last night and was immediately bombarded with ads. I was also out of practice and couldn’t remember the controls so I died almost immediately. Was forced to watch another ad to continue game play or pay a gem. This really killed it for me. I don’t remember it being that bad before. The number of ads made the game unplayable for m
  15. [R16] Temple Run 2 1/5 · US Floods of ads: Too many ads even when you say no ad to continue after you fail it still gives you 2 minute ads😤
  16. [R27] Temple Run 2 3/5 · US Ads: Fun but the insane amount of ads make it not even worth it, just like every other game.
  17. [R28] Temple Run 2 1/5 · US To many ads: Game is spammed with to many ads
  18. [R37] Temple Run 2 1/5 · US Too many ads: Every time u die u have to watch an ad that you can’t close out..
  19. [R66] Fun Run 3D 3/5 · US On and on: It goes on and on and on.They never move on with the course.There are not to many adds. That’s my response.
  20. [R71] Fun Run 3D 5/5 · US LOVE IT✨👽👹 but some problems👁️👄👁️: So this game is amazing but I hate the ads because they are so long,and also I’m on level 125, where the background changes each time you beat 1 PERSON😨😨😨 anyways I also don’t like how bots gets harder and harder to beat 😭 but I love this game imma play until I’m 70🤠also the obstacles are nice but they switch everytime from meh🤯 but I’m telling you if you get it,
  21. [R72] Fun Run 3D 3/5 · US Ok: I think there needs to be more excitement in the app and more pallets maybe more levels I feel that I’m doing the same level over and over because I’ve already done it and more challenges
  22. [R113] Fun Run 3D 5/5 · US They listened!!!!: ***** Update... now what? I've gotten all the characters, costumes and dances and shapes and sizes. I'm on lvl 2501-2502 and 190980 diamonds and nothing to spend them on. Plus all the lvls are just reoccurring. Kinda bored now. Need new courses, new goals etc*** In my original review I (as MANY others) requested a pass/skip level option. They didn't do that but did better. Now
