Horrible race balancing
I like this game and always have, but this game has THE WORST BALANCING I HAVE EVER SEEN. When I use my bolt that is fully upgraded in spring city, I get paired with A FULLY MASTERED MUSCLE CAR AND RALLY CAR as my opponents. What? I know it will get boring after a while if you always win, but come on. The game should not be THAT competitive. Another thing, you guys are the most greediest, pay to win game I have ever played. Rarely anything on this game is under ten dollars. And the team spirit system has got to be the most greediest thing I have ever seen a game implement. 5 dollars for a chest that barely gives you anything and resets after a month? Really? Please, if anyone at Fingersoft reads this, PLEASE balance your game better. I am sick of getting a 5 win-streak and losing it to a try hard who probably never seen a blade of grass in their life. And no way I am spending my precious gems or adventure tokens to keep the win-streak alive.

Ошибка, из-за которой игра становится кирпичом…
Ну даже незнаю что сказать… Я скачал HCR2 с App Store все официально. И потом вошел в свой аккаунт, но сначала все было хорошо даже 10-15 раз поиграл с другими игроками, а вот потом у меня перестало искать игроков для заезда и сбоку писало «Автономно» а потом когда я выходил в гл.меню у меня вылезала ошибка «АВТОНОМНО Сервер дал отказ в соединение с интернетом, проверьте свой мобильный интернет или WFI» Даже перезагрузка айфона и включенение и выключение режима полета не помогло. Постоянно эта ошибка вылезает, притом то что на планшете андроид такой ошибки нету и я спокойно могу играть. А вот на айфоне эта ошибка есть… Даже незнаю что делать( Помогите пожалуйста!

★★★★ Guy_in_Kilt 4/28/2026 v1.72.3
Culturally intolerant company
I enjoyed playing the game for the first few levels. Then I got a message that my screen name used inappropriate language? So we're clear, a kilt is an article of clothing, and urban is the setting where I live and wear my kikts. Not offensive or insensitive.

Fix the adventure mode

бан это приговор
играл в нее с 2018 по 2024 и качался сам без доната было почти все машины .и мне не хватало скинов и я решил их накрутить с помощью накрутки.После чего меня забанило на всегда.После бана я не могу поменять аккаунт,потому что когда я захожу в игру выскакивает окно с баном и я не могу выйти с акаунта .Я писал даже в поддержку и просил разбанить или удалить аккаунт,но без успешно.Суть в том что когда получаешь бан и признаешь ошибку и хочешь играть в хорошую игру,тебе сам разработчик отказывает в этом

Too many ads
I don’t like it because it has WAYYYYY too many ads. I would give it a zero star if I could also the graphics aren’t that clear and it glitches to much.
★★★★ ChrissP2006OG 4/6/2026 v1.72.3
What?
I had so much progress in this game, played it for more than 300 hours probably one day I hop on and it wouldn’t sign me in, I made purchases on it before, I put my iCloud and everything and it just stays on please wait. I don’t know what’s wrong but it’s some bs?
★★★★ Katz321Juno 4/3/2026 v1.72.3
Let us request to join closed teams!
Please add the ability to request to join a closed team!
Let us send messages to our friends.
Please let us watch replays on the leaderboards when we filter for a specific vehicle.
Please add a "Redo" button in the track editor.
Add the ability to rotate objects at fixed degrees of rotation, example being 30°, 45°, 90°, 180° with the 90° being the most important addition.
Add the ability to flip an object, like a mirror of it.
Add the ability to adjust an object's layer, so it can go in front of or behind other objects instead of the newest object always being the frontmost object.

Honest Evaluation
I don’t mind the ads. I know you need them for revenue. It’s how you make money. That’s cool.
But whomever decided the frequency of the ads needs to be publicly beaten with lead pipes until they urinate on themselves.
★★★★ Algorhythmz 4/1/2026 v1.72.1
STOP USING DISHONEST ADS!!!!!!!
Aside from your garbage audio coding, which the ads screw with Constantly, you insist on using SHADY and SCAM ads!!! STOP using ads that dump you out of the game Over and Over and Over. How many times do you have to fake tap an x button and get dumped out of game and go back in before it actually moves the ad forward????
Nevermind the ones that freeze….When? Right at the end of the ad of course. No credit though, no progress in anything but number of ads used. FiX Your Trash. And STOP using these garbage ads!!!!!!!! Woulda spent money on this game if it was honest and the devs deserved the support.
PATHETIC, devs. Absolutely pathetic greedy money grab lack of GaF about your customers’ gameplay experience.
UPDATE A YEAR LATER
Just checked for improvement.
Still spaghetti code and garbage ads that don’t work and don’t give you credit. SHOCKER.
★★★★ Riccdaddy 3/29/2026 v1.72.1
Not ran. Money hungry yt people
This game is full of bots. It seems like it’s ran by a bunch of 🗑️🧃’s… always looking to make more money. You click “X” on an add and it won’t let you exit for about 30 seconds. TRASH YT PPL GAME

I don’t really like the game because it gets boring after a while and it barely gets challenging

Friends list bug ever since last update
Even when I relaunch multiple times it still says I have no friends list and the server disconnects have been ridiculous please fix

New Update Unplayable
Have been playing for about 2 months. 2k gp and a dozen vehicles at 15+. Used to win 3-8 cups before losing my streak. Now I am getting beat by 5-8 SECONDS every race(with a clean/smooth run). I mean it’s not even close or enjoyable. Even spending money to buy coins/gems wouldn’t makeup that amount of time discrepancy. Fingersoft turned a 15+ hr a week game into a 30 min/week frustration. I don’t mind grinding. And I don’t mind things taking longer with not spending real money. What I do mind is the drastic change in matchmaking that is made VERY apparent on the HCR subreddit. Do better fingersoft. And to any new players: do NOT waste your time on this game

Подбор игроков
После игр с ботами(обучение) с настоящими игроками подбор не работает. Нажимаю играть и подбор игроков длится вечность

I literally got enough coins to upgrade my wings, but it did nothing

Fix IOS Crashes
The game is good. The only problem is the crashes. I can’t even get 5000 meters into an adventure run without a crash. It’s unbearable. It’s not like I’m on an old phone either. I’m on a 14 with 26.4 and it crashes constantly.
★★★★★ Almost2017 4/2/2026 v1.72.2
Ads and unfair competition ruin what should be fun
Watch the ad, try to close the ad, then open the store, then close the store, then watch the ad some more! Plus, half of the ads can’t be silenced which I think is a violation. Then we get flying cars and half of the races are basically rigged with cars so fast you can’t catch up no matter how much upgrading you’ve done.
★★★★★ Josh Magel 4/1/2026 v1.72.1
This is Heavy Pay to Gain
The first one you could see the occasional ad and you’re set for an hour and good to go. This one has timers on chests which you need to upgrade and buy vehicles. It also has ads after certain amount of levels. There is also a default track mode instead of the endless “go as far as you can” system that made the first one so great.
★★★★★ Idiza 3/29/2026 v1.72.1
Stop Adding New Features
May be a good idea for Fingersoft to take a breather from new features (and ways to get players to spend more money) and catch up a bit on fixing some of the ongoing bugs.
That being said I do love the game. Low stars are because lately there are a lot of bugs and support never responds to anything anymore.
★★★★★ Ccccccccc c ccccccccccc 3/18/2026 v1.71.4
Fix the graphic layering problem!
The player should ALWAYS be the top graphic. You have other players, player names, bonus overlays, very often over top of my player and I CANT EVEN SEE to race! Come on, this has been around for. Long time and is now worse.
