tried Indonesian servers, heard voice chat sounds like elementary graders, definitely less than 12+, tried reporting it to admin, i got banned due misuse of admin chat, the game is not too enticing for me except those who likes to gang brawl and curses all around.

Impossível de jogar É um GTA San Andreas capado pq N dá pra fazer nada no jogo Achej a proposta interessante mas o menu de navegação é ruim e confusa As missões diárias para sair do nivel 1 não são possíveis e não tem como fazer nada no jogo sendo nivel 1 A cidade do jogo não tem nada a ver com o Rio Espero que consigam melhorar algo

app not working constantly flags up, uninstalled several times still same thing, shame
★★★★ Clucky Chick Hen 5/11/2026 v4.6.00
I've been playing this game more & it just seems boring. If the game itself doesn't feel boring itself, it feels even more boring when I went to work as a bus driver. I drove & stopped at two bus stops that I had to sit there for 27 seconds. Then the next bus stop I had to sit for 43 seconds. Waiting for nothing/nobody. How much more boring can you make it. There's no action, excitement or anything. Just frustration & boringness. I'm not playing this anymore.
★★★★ Patricia Avendano 5/10/2026 v4.6.00
It's horrible
★★★★ Jennie Thwaites 5/5/2026
Despite picking English as the language it put me into German, I have no clue.
★★★★ Emma Wilkinson 5/3/2026
could not understand or change language to english. could have been a decent game.
★★★★ Rashed Alexandru Mohammed 5/2/2026
everything lags. jobs very far away. everybody kills you for no reason and then you have to wait a long time to revive and then you have to waste another 10 mins in the hospital to get your HP to 100 and then try to get to do a job without anyone killing you for no reason...
★★★★ Bumble Boricua 4/27/2026
I arrived in the city, there was no explanation, I rented a scooter and some random guys attacked me, but they didn't let me fight back. There's a lot of disorganization and lack of information. Just a bunch of people milling around. It would have been worse if I didn't speak Portuguese. The ads are totally AI, and your character starts out looking homeless.
★★★★ J E G 4/23/2026 v4.3.21
cannot even play as when I do I'm immediately kicked and stays locked in reconnecting only seeing a view of a plaza close and open and same issue this game has server issues and because of it is not worth my time, the ads showed something way different, uninstalled it 😒

★★★★ Tony Adamski 2/14/2026
I kept seeing this game on every social media app so I figured I give it try and this is the worst game it looks like it created by a 6 year old on a Nintendo 64 the graphics are terrible the game play it self is terrible if y'all want to play a RP game look up flex city, grand mobile, vibe city, RP grand, onestate those are realistic RP games

keeps saying network error
★★★★ PCIKO 23 2/8/2026 v4.0.52
We want to replace all the admins of the Arab server because they ban players for no reason, and most of them are inactive in the game. When any problem is reported to them, the player gets banned. We want a fair game and to replace them with older people who understand the game well.
★★★★ Jordan Burchett 2/4/2026 v4.0.51
I do not like that they aren't transparent in their Privacy Policy and boy they share you're data with TONS of people and different countries. They make the EULA look nice but "This data may include, but is not limited to, the following: device ID, MAC address, crash reports, and other relevant software and hardware information." could literally mean anything! "is not limited to", just tell us what the hell you're taking! Btw, we know that you do not need our MAC addresses for game compatibility

Somehow, I've died, and I can't move nor respawn
★★★★ Matt Rife 1/18/2026
No translation so that English speaking people can understand what is being typed in chat everything is in Spanish
★★★★ Lashawn Williams 1/18/2026 v4.0.30
The first mission, driving. I clicked on obtain liscense and it took me to the middle of nowhere with no car. UNINSTALING FAST!!!
★★★★ Chris Venzke 1/18/2026 v4.0.30
An actual life simulator, role play game that it is Not. Players running around random killing you this is. Just another Fortnite battlefield shooter. I was killed driving to the Town Hall to buy a license for jobs and killed again trying to look at and buy a house. Fake life sim game looking for cash pretending to be Fort or PUBG. Do Not Play unless you Love Fortnite.
★★★★ Lucius Dracone 1/17/2026
I'll give it time to get better. but right now it's horrible
★★★★ Terrell 1/16/2026
why in the US server does everyone speak Spanish? you need to make a server for Americans.
★★★★ Khalil Sorokin 1/15/2026
played for 5 minutes and seen the game has excessive amount of bugs. within that 5 minutes I was going through the tutorial and got kicked for cheating. I contacted the support team and they have to be kids because they didn't even know what their job is. dont release the game if its not even fit to be played yet. on top of that I got stuck in buildings and in the bus for my job. I did all the right things and admin or nobody could help me. the game is all around garbage. 0.2 out of 10!!!!!!!
★★★★ Barrion Thomas 1/12/2026
Game bucks. Don't have any gameplay information on how to play at all. You can't defend yourself while others attack you. It's just a bad game. Then I had to travel on foot which makes the game bucks cause there's no way to get a vehicle.

The error message indicates a network problem with error code 1003.
★★★★ Jair Arenas 11/4/2025 v3.3.51 release
el juego es muy bueno, incluso si es muy adictivo como dicen, pero el problema es que utiliza demasiada batería y falla muchísimo, algunas veces falla el control o falla el sistema, es bueno que haya nuevas actualizaciones, pero aún así sigue fallando, mi teléfono tiene 12gb de ram, así que no puede ser mi dispositivo y tengo muy buen internet y no tengo muchas aplicaciones, de hecho las borré por si acaso funcionaba mejor el juego y no, solo al principio funciona bien, me quedé en nivel ocho.

★★★★★ unatural autosexual male confessionist 6/22/2026 v4.7.2
add multiple language and settings and farming plants food
★★★★★ Pete Reed 5/12/2026 v4.6.00
This app needs a lot, I mean a lot of work. First of all it's in German! I tried changing to the U.S server, no difference. No idea how to change the language in the settings. The driving experience keeps moving the camera when you turn which then affects where the car goes. And the place is empty, Is this a brand new app?
★★★★★ sumitro sumitro 3/12/2026 v3.3.51 release
Bugs repot. new update, foce close, /headmove still bugs. please fix it
