Won’t start
When I launch the app I just get a window with a beige background. Nothing happens. I’m connected to the Internet. Makes no difference.
An awful version of a great game
From the awful unforgiving controls to the game having massive amounts of pop in and visible stutter, also effecting your controls, I simply can’t recommend playing this version of the game. When it “worked” many many updates ago - this new version just seems to fall flat on its face. The graphics still look incredible a great sound track to throw your car around too and there is a massive selection of vehicles that all drive and handle uniquely. I can’t see any other positives from a player standpoint.

Why my blood type
Thought i was doin ya a solid buying this since i heard it used to be $5 but jesus christ man whats goin on
cannotopen！
I bought the game,but I can’t even open it!
Broken controls
DONT BUY! The game is a scam controls are broken and can’t assign controllers buttons. Avoid at all costs. Money wasted.
Unfortunate Purchase
Paid for the game somewhat exited to play with my son but right before a race starts the game crashes. I paid to let him down….
Save loss?
Lost save data twice now with two consecutive updates. Don’t event get UI or options that the switch has. Terrible port.
Crashes
Great game but poorly ported. Crashes unless the settings are in low resolution and need a controller to play bc touchscreen is not playable. Progress is gone since the last update and now it’s not saving. A frustrating experience on iPad.
Data save issue
The automatic data reset destroys my career progress every time I jump back in the game!
Bugged
Ever since the last update, I lost all my progress and have to restart every time I open the game.
It keeps crashing but not in the fun way
Like the title says the game won’t play. Set up the race go through the load screen then the game just shuts down.
Loading issues
The game looks great, but as soon as I try to load in to a course the game shuts down.
Unable to play
Loads beige colored screen and does nothing else.
Fun Bug In Latest Update
Isn’t it fun when your car is placed 180* backwards at the starting line? Free 5s penalties are such good chuckles. Happens in Australia. Five star game that needs help from its porting team :)))))
Edit: leaderboards don’t sync between event classes?? Set down a lap in the Daily event that’s good for 1st globally at that circuit, nothing on the scoreboard when I checked in time attack??? Cmon guys :(

Good game awful port
The performance on iPhone 14 pro is abysmal. Stuttering and lag plague the game and will cause you to crash the car on the simplest of turns. Perfomance gets worse with each update. Even playing on the lowest possible graphics settings doesn’t fix stuttering or improve the perfomance at all. Play this on console if you actually want to be able to enjoy yourself, because the game itself would be solid if it ran okay.
Eh
I played this game because it looked really good but it’s not. It’s very very buggy and really hard to drive the cars. Your forced to drifted on every turn which makes it really hard to drive. Overall it’s a great concept but it was very poorly executed.
Continual save loss
Progress is lost every other day, please fix.
Great game, needs fixes
Great rally game that goes into more detail about the history of rally than you’d expect. The driving physics are also good. However, the current build of the game (1.0.5) on iOS has optimization problems and cannot save progress properly. I recommend waiting to buy until there are fixes to these issues
Controls are clunky
Part 1
Add tilt steering.
Part 2
Lost progress after the last update.

Gorgeous; terrible controls
This game is fun and gorgeous and totally handicapped by the on/off steering and throttle controls. It’s next to impossible to properly drift or get good times unless you are a drummer really good at polyrhythms so you can press the buttons at varying intervals to get inputs that are not 0/1. I will revisit this review when devs add continuous inputs and customizable control layouts.
Controls ruin this game
I was looking forward to this one for ages. Pre-ordered the game and downloaded it as soon as it was available. The game itself looks great but I really can’t attest to the gameplay because I simply can’t get past the touch controls. This has to be the most unpleasant driving experience I have ever had in a mobile driving game. Please allow for a variety of steering input styles and not just touch buttons for right and left. It’s impossible to enjoy the game as it is.
All my data got deleted
I the game is good and I have played it on Xbox but I was really far though the career mode and the I open the app and all my data was gone
进不去。
卡界面进不去。
Enjoyed the game on other platforms
My career progress has been reset twice already for no reason.
Fun, but unoptimized
Even on an iPhone 15 Pro Max, these relatively simple graphics and low render distances heat up the phone quite a bit. Even genshin impact on ultra graphics is better than this game on high.
Lazy port
This is not a good port. The controls are unpredictable and also can’t be remapped either in touch mode or on the controller. There are occasional crashes in the menus. Phone calls or FaceTime interrupt the game but don’t allow you to pause, and your stage timer will continue to run. I have hopes that this will be improved but I would recommend waiting for updates before buying.
Art Of Rally
The breaks are way to hard you tap them when turning and the whole car just starts sliding.the turning is impossible,the graphics are way worse then they say they are and the game should just be for free would not ever buy again wast of money.
Its bad.
First off, i’ve played plenty of rallying games, including wrc and dirt rally 2, as well as rallying games on mobile, i’ve also played beam.ng and assetto corsa. I know what I’m talking about.
It’s bad.
The controls are bad, you can’t even customize them.
The cars feel heavy and slide everywhere. They don't obey the laws of physics at all and are extremely hard to control.
They take waaaayy too long to fall back to the ground after a jump.
Counter-steer does not behave like it does in real life, so drifting properly and doing hairpins is practically impossible.
Everything looks and behaves like it was drawn up and made in 1 week.
THERE ARE NO PACE NOTES?!!! How can you make a rally game and not have pace notes????
This app should be free if it is going to be the complete joke that it is. It’s built like a free app, and I paid, what was it, $4.99 for a pre-order? And its supposed to go up in price?? Are you for real???? This game is a complete scam under the facade of a good car/rally enthusiast game with all of the famous cars.
I too was awestruck by the music, scenery, and looks of the cars. Do not be mistaken, this game does NOT obey Earth’s physics.
As of right now, it’s atrocious. I’m not sure if I can refund it, but if I can, I will.
Maybe it will get better. Who knows?
Do not waste your money on this game.
You have been warned.
