WTH! I paid for this game, now suddenly it keeps partially starting, then going back to my home screen. I tried unistalling, then reinstalling...Same BS. I WANT MY MONEY BACK !!!
trash
The controls are awful
absolute trash, horrible controls, full of bugs. overrated junk. hawk tuah
you are a scammer refund my money now orless I will arrest GTA organization
fix the bugs... it's not working anymore. crashing continuously
bugged, can never open
Stop screwing over paying customers, fix this port (it's not 2011 anymore), bring back missing features from the Xbox port and PS2 audio. Edit (Update 1.10.106): Why did you merge the sprint and jump, are you stupid? Where's top-down view? Also, how did you break the basic function of the game? We can't even save the game 🤓.
Doesn't even start.
Just reinstalled after years of not playing. the game won't open. there js a bug
wont load up
This game is completely abandoned do not install won't get passed the 3rd mission 😒
this game doesnot work.it crashes the moment i open app
not working. keeps kicking me off.
Does not work, please fix it!
won't open!!
game is not working
Stopped working on new android versions
So, you fixed Vice City but not this? I paid for this version. Don't be lazy. Fix the bugs. I'm assuming the bugs are all the same because of technology.
app has a bug.. won't open and crashes
I bought the game and it doesn't launch. I tried reinstalling the app, I tried allowing permissions, but nothing. Just download a hacked apk. At least your not wasting your money
It stops by itself after some time
I purchased this game years ago for my android phone and recently I just got a new Pixel 10 pro. This game no longer works on my new phone it just keeps crashing and kicks me out when I try to start it. With everyone always buying new phones how can this game still be in the Google store for purchase. I want my money back.
Had this paid game for years and always been one of my favourites. Now doesn't work as others also reporting. Please provide update and get the game working again.
it's kicking me off when I load in and Ive removed most of my apps for this not to work great
I've had this app for years never had issues. I was playing as recently as 1/15/26. The next day the app just randomly crashed. I received a notification on my phone stating the app has a bug and the developer needed to fix the app. I sent 2 emails & no response. This is completely ridiculous this is a paid app it should be addressed or we should be refunded. They are pushing the definitive version for 19.99 which is ridiculous also why i feel we are now seeing issues as GTA SA is doing the same
doesn't work anymore.... 😞 This is why you shouldn't spend money on imaginary things.
Game is unplayable, it used to be great, but now it will not load or will glitch out and crash. Save your money
crashes... never opens
Game is not starting on android 16 Google pixel 9 pro
s21 used to work fine now won't even open
it didn't play right the game was a broken app I want a refund
Broke the game when they released a new more expensive version a big wow. The game wont even launch anymore was working before i updated it. This should be illegal.
Please am asking for a refund of my money
The app does not open on my Samsung S25. Everytime I try to enter, it shows black for a second and then quits.
game crashes on s25ultra
my first time in a while downloading the game just because of boredom now the game opens It will let me lead the game but as soon as I get to the first cut scene it crashes instead of loading in
tired of buying rockstar garbage games over and over and over
app doesn't open
Game is great, but the left and right controls drift to the right pretty bad making it too where you cant even drive properly.
