XLR8 for Negative User Reviews
✓ Don’t buy this appThis game is trash and is a waste of money and doesn’t even start the app and you have to buy more cars that cost more than the app and also only have 5 cars . honestly I would like a refund.Version: 1.0.5
✓ The app is great it has a glitchThis app is great i want to buy all the cars it seems like it is not accurate are you gonna fix that problem? I would love to see the update i enjoy the sound alot..Version: 1.0.5
✓ Doesn't worth even 99centsYou basically get nothing for 99cents, only one model with poor sound quality!.Version: 1.0.1
✓ OkIt's ok I guess. Still have to buy cars after you pay for the app, don't like that. 😔.Version: 1.0
✓ Ok but....I can’t get the app sound to sync with the cars movement I do everything ask for by the app apart from plugging it into my car stereo which is only for making it louder I think. But the app just stays in idle the whole tiling..Version: 1.0.5
✓ Doesn’t workI on an iPhone, watched the tutorial, followed instructions closely, tried changing various settings, but it doesn’t do anything. “Engine” just stays in idle even when I’m moving..Version: 1.0.5
✓ Don't BotherRip off, doesn't work with Bluetooth..Version: 1.0.1
✓ Bad.Car throttle sound does not match speed of actual car speed well at all and you must keep phone on, app running and cannot be ran in background and drains battery..Version: 1.0.5
✓ RubbishIt doesn't work at all, save your money and get one that connects to the obd port. Can't rate as zero unfortunately..Version: 1.0.3
✓ In app purchasing not workingWith in app purchasing not working I can't recommend this app at all even though it's pretty good fun.Version: 1.0.3
✓ Not receiving what I wantI’ve purchased the £4.99, 4 car pack, the money has come out of my bank and I haven’t got the cars, not very happy..Version: 1.0.5
✓ Rip off and dosent even workWhat sounded like a cool app is actually a rip off. $0.99c gives you access and then you pay for other cars and the app dosent even work! Dosent sense the gear change of the car so you end up redlining in 1st or 2nd. Not cool.Version: 1.0
✓ Yup.Has only 1 default car and you have to pay WAY too much for the others..Version: 1.0
✓ TerribleWhat a load of rubbish. Doesn't work properly with automatic cars. Engine noise sound really tinny even when played through a decent system.Version: 1.0.5
✓ App crashes when making purchasesCan't make any purchases because it crashes every time I tap a different car. Please fix!.Version: 1.0.3
✓ Save your moneySound is convincing but completely disconnected from what the engine is doing..Version: 1.0.3
✓ Worst appWaste of money..Version: 1.0.5
✓ TerribleThis had potential to be a fun pointless app. But it just doesn't work. Whilst moving it did nothing, just played the idling sound. Then I came to a stop on a very slight slope and it started making an accelerating noise. Following a bus around a roundabout it woke up and started a screeching tyres noise as if I was drifting! 👎👎👎👎👎.Version: 1.0
✓ Great idea, poor supportGreat idea for an app. Fun to use. However, cannot restore purchases. No response from developer upon enquiry..Version: 1.0.3
✓ Oop !When do you correct iphone app.Version: 1.2
✓ HorribleI Purchased the bundle of 4 cars and did not receive the content.Version: 1.0.5
✓ This is so lame!It makes me laugh how much time much have been spend developing this. It simply doesn't work. I downloaded it for fun only because it was free. Deleted after 5 mins. Lame..Version: 1.0
✓ Buggy - but a great idea when it worksBrilliant idea - but the sound come and goes - could not get any volume when connected to car audio kit. Unplugged - still no sound. Deleted app & reloaded (btw do not try this - it loses previous in App car purchases - another beta version glitch) got sound again - but lost it when plugged into car kit. Now silent once more. Wait for a more stabile, better tested version..Version: 1.0
✓ I lost my carsI used this app a few times before I updated it. I payed the 4 pack, to unlock all the cars and after the update now it is making me pay for them again, with no option to restore purchases. I’ll raise my review if this bug gets fixed.Version: 1.0.5
✓ Love the app, one issue for myself.I love having this app to trick my family and friends, and have spent money to buy the different cars, but if you delete the app, there is no way to restore your purchases. I would say that having an Restore Purchases button would be very helpful..Version: 1.0.5
✓ Not updated for IOS11I bought this game and also paid for an in game car sound a week ago but after the IOS11 update, I no longer have access to the car sound that I paid for. It’s asking me to pay for it again, not happy. Besides that when the app does work it works well which is why I’m giving it two stars instead of just one..Version: 1.0.5
✓ So soNot so good and not so bad.Version: 1.0.2
✓ Horrible ripoff$1.99 for the app $4.99 for all the cars which you never get. If everyone is having the same issue and the developer does nothing to fix and doesn’t respond back to emails that must show you something. They are taking your money and laughing about it. UPDATE FOR IOS 12 MORONS.Version: 1.0.5
✓ Doesn’t work with iPhone 7 PlusScreen is crop on top and you need to press buttons where you think they should be instead of where they appear on the screen. I just wasted a few bucks on this....Version: 1.0.5
✓ Terrible.I bought the 4 pack, and when i paid for it, it told me there was a problem with my internet connection, when in fact there was not, and would not download the package. This app took 5 dollars from me and gave me nothing..Version: 1.0.3
✓ Doesn't work properlyGood idea. Bad execution..Version: 1.0.3
✓ It won’t workEverytime i Open the app it glitches out and it says if I want a video tutorial and if I click yes or no nothing happens.Version: 1.0.5
✓ Only one car!For .99c App , thought you would receive a selection of cars ! Average!.Version: 1.0.1
✓ Dont PurchaseJust learned how to drive, so I first saw this app I was eager to try it . Waste of my $2. GPS is completely off with driving, so when your at a stop sign it takes blasts rev sounds at gear 5. You also get access to 1 car despite the advertisements. If youve got money to spend, go donate it.Version: 1.0.5
✓ Don’t workProbably développed for ipod first génération.Version: 1.0.5
✓ Terrible app, doesn’t do what it claims it can doHas no motion sensing and when I purchased the Ferrari it charged me and then didn’t install it. Wasted all the money.Version: 1.0.5
✓ ReviewI there this app is so awesome but 1 problem I’m facing that i have payed for 4 pack Engine to unlock they charged me but I cannot access these engine sound please let me know how to download these thankyou.Version: 1.0.5

✓ $2 not gonna get you farThey make you spend $2 to download the app and next thing you know you have to spend up to $5 per car sound to unlock the car(s) you want. $2 will only get you the app with one crappy car noise. Not recommended..Version: 1.0.5
✓ Paid for the four pack... butThe app says no internet connection after the purchase was complete. Tried a few times to download again for free since I already purchased the four pack. Same message over and over. The app looks like it’s trying to unlock the 4 pack but fails..Version: 1.0.5
✓ Won’t give me other carsI love the original car sound so i purchased the 4 pack for $5 but it took my money and didn’t give me the cars. So i really wanted the lambo sound so i just bought that one. I payed $2 and didn’t even get that sound either. I am now $7 poorer than i was 15 minutes ago with nothing in return. Please help..Version: 1.0.5
✓ Stolen moneyThe app dont work.Version: 1.0.5
✓ RipoffPaid for app where 90% of the content costs additional money. Absolute ripoff..Version: 1.0.5
✓ LousyI want my $2.50 back.Version: 1.0.3
✓ Half FunctionalApp does not play sound through the iPhone 5's speaker or the dock cable when connected to my car. Sounds are okay but lack bass. Not a fan..Version: 1.0.3
✓ Theft!Junk do not buy! Can not buy anything inside the app as it keeps saying I need WiFi connection when I’m standing right next to my router with it 100% functioning and my iPhone connected. Not sure how to get my money back but I’m sure the developer is laughing all the way to the bank. I’ve reported this app to Apple and they are investigating this application..Version: 1.0.5
✓ Im pissesI am very upset i paid 7$ and it tells me my wifi is not working when it was i want a refund immediately.Version: 1.0.5
✓ Absurd, total waste of MoneyNo way to make the setup permanent, app will require the setup procedure on each launch. Once setup, the app is still extremely buggy, and will spend most of the time in highest gear, regardless of the actual speed. This is the worst app I’ve ever come across..Version: 1.0.5
✓ The app wont work for ipod touch 4gHi regards this problem that i had , The app wont run after i purchase it, when i click on ok after i've download it the app crash and when i open it back and click again its say my internet is offline while it isn't hope the development team do something about this thing or refund me as the app wont run on my device,deduction has already been made but the app wont run properly, i have contacted your team through email but sadly there is no reply from you guys. It has been three day from the time and i hope to hear a reply from you guys soon..Version: 1.0.3
✓ Best app in the history of the universeUpdate has not recognising my purchase of all cars.. not happy. Hopefully this glitch will be promptly fixed. Previously a big fan of a fun app. And given how long it’s been between updates, could you have recorded at least one other car in between then and now? Happy to pay something for a quality evolving product, so c’mon guys & girls. Previous review below; Having heaps of fun and laughs with my mates as we trick friends with my wild lumpy Hyundai i30. Great braking and gear options, can't wait for more cars. Great stuff!.Version: 1.0.5
✓ Cool, but kinda brokenThe app is a cool concept. However, I'm not sure why it doesn't work too well. When I'm moving slowly in traffic, it'll make an idling engine sound, and then suddenly rev the engine. All this while I'm driving at the same speed and RPM.. I suspect that the app is using GPS to determine when you're moving instead of the accelerometer. Developers, please give us some clarity on this in the app description (or better, just fix it to work better!).Version: 1.0.3
✓ This game needs to be updatedIt does not work properly, it’s too slow to recognize the movements of the car. It also needs to be VERY stable and smooth for it to work right..Version: 1.0.5
✓ They took my moneyI just bought the car pack that unlocks all the cars and each time it tells me to connect to the internet and try again cause the purchase failed. Help.Version: 1.0.5
✓ Terrible is an understatementI can’t believe people have to pay for this app. Buying a coffee for the same price is more worth your time. First of all, this thing is an absolute scam.. it just doesn’t work. No matter how you try to tune it, or no matter how many times you re-download it, the system it’s self is broken. Poor production. And the in-app purchases?! Ridiculous. 7$ FOR 4 CARS?! That don’t even WORK?! You’re better off buying a beer. This app should be removed from the App Store..Version: 1.0.5
✓ Waste of time - laggy and unpredictableSound changes (rpm and gear selection) bear little resemblance to the vehicle’s movement/speed. Useless..Version: 1.0.5
✓ Waste of moneyI wanted the Italian supercar noises and when i had paid for that it didn’t unlock. Do not buy the app, until they fix this problem.Version: 1.0.5
✓ Don’t buy extra cars you get themPoor app add ons you pay for don’t unlock.Version: 1.0.5
✓ Needs workGreat idea did not work well and would not keep a consistent rpm.Version: 1.0
✓ Does not workCannot even select yes or no at the intro screen. Button does not work and the display is off center. How can I be refund..Version: 1.0.5
✓ Not compatibleI downloaded this app a couple days ago and it’s not compatible anymore. i just spent $7 for the app and ad ons and now i can’t use it. i would ask for my money back but looks like the creator of this app no longer cares about XLR8..Version: 1.0.3
✓ Really coolI paid for a car but didn’t get it, got the invoice to prove, If only it maintained revs on long straights instead of returning back to idle, should only slow revs when slowing down. Alright I’m 35 just a big kid but still fun for short bursts around the block.Version: 1.0.5
✓ AwfulRefund requested through Apple. Does not work at all..Version: 1.0.5
✓ Sounds good...but in app purchase limited?App sounds cool, but I noticed that the in app purchase to get the other cars will not sync to my iPad after purchasing via my iPhone. Disappointing..Version: 1.0
✓ Don't bother buying this!This app is very poorly conceived, it doesn't work properly, the sound quality is terrible and you analysis get one car for your money - you have to she'll out more cash if you want more..Version: 1.0.2
✓ Update issuesOne of the cars I paid for was lost somehow and wants more money to repurchase it. Weak sauce..Version: 1.0.5
✓ RubbishDon’t bother, it’s total crap.Version: 1.0.5
✓ AwfulSimple does NOT work !.Version: 1.0.2
✓ Suggested changeGood idea, but the accelerometer should be used to change gears as well. So as the car slows for the gear change the accelerometer should sense this, then as it accelerates out of the gear change the app should automatically change gears, rather than at an adjustable rev point..Version: 1.0
✓ Could be amazing but needs workI though that by paying for it that it would use gps to see when you your excelarating but it just revs randomly and sounds stupid. Radio 1 this app 0.Version: 1.0
✓ Purchase LamborghiniI recently purchased a Lamborghini sound effect and never actually receive it right after purchase..Version: 1.0.5
✓ Purchase Failed“Please check your Internet connection and try again” after paying for the app and the 4 car package I keep getting the same message. Unfortunately I can’t seem to get the app to download spent the money but it just won’t work???!!!.Version: 1.0.5
✓ StupidDon't buy. Cost $.99 and if you want more then one car, it'll cost ya $.99 per car. There's four cars in total that's $4.00 dollars before tax or you can buy all four for get this $4.99. Awesome deal..Version: 1.0.1
✓ In-App PurchasingI bought some of the cars off of internet and it told me that I needed to connect to internet. I figured that the purchase was unsuccessful so when I got home and looked at my iTunes it told me that the purchase was successful... I did not get any of the cars and I’d like a refund for the cars please. App is also great!.Version: 1.0.5
✓ Save your moneyWhat a waste of £1.99 and shame on me for not trusting the majority of reviewers. The developers made a nice looking app with a simple and smooth interface. What they couldn’t manage is to make it do what it says on the tin. Regardless of how many times I sync and then secure my phone the thing either stays on tickover or sticks to the redline. Kids were almost as disappointed as I am..Version: 1.0.5
✓ Please help!I story about buying a Lamborghini sound, and then all the cars, but every time I’ve tried purchasing them, Apple says that I’ve already purchased it, then says to download it again for free but when I do, the app itself says purchased fields, please try again, and when I try again it does the same thing..Version: 1.0.5
✓ Waste of money. Doesn’t workWaste of money. Doesn’t work..Version: 1.0.5
✓ Rip offIn app does not work!!! The reason I gor this was for the lambo sound!!! Give my money back!!!!.Version: 1.0.3
✓ Money StealerPurchased the 4 pack and it doesn't show within the app that I purchased it but my money was still taken even though I received nothing in return. It is a money stealing app as of now for me. And when I try to click the 4 pack it tries to get me to purchase it for a second time.. absolute waste of money as of now. Very disappointed..Version: 1.0.5
✓ Lost all previous purchases in update.I had purchased the entire in app package, and now I can only open the car that comes with the app. Please fix this problem..Version: 1.0.3
✓ 1 car sound for $1.99!!!???!?What a bunch of crap!!!! Charge me for the sounds if you give the app for free but to charge $1.99 to buy the app then only get one car sound and have to spend even more money to get any of the other car sounds is garbage. At least let me chose what car I want if I only get one sound with initial purchase..Version: 1.0.3
✓ Sounds stop working after first useExtremely annoying. Even if you open the app and close it, it no longer makes noise. Definitely asking Apple for a refund..Version: 1.0.5
✓ Problem with BTGreat,fun app but you cannot use cars BT with it unless you play music over BT in the same time which kills it. Developers should enable playing sounds over BT as well as 3.5mm.Version: 1.0
✓ Car pack bugGreat app but I bought the car pack and it says I have no internet yet I have service and internet will rate higher when I get my cars.Version: 1.0.5
✓ Make the app to work in backgroundGood idea but poorly implemented. Following are the improvements MUST needed: 1. Make the app to work in background 2. Detect that vehicle is already in motion (don’t have to stop and the go) and adjust 3. Better integrate with accelerometer from the phone If you don’t do it soon, I will write an app myself and sell it to all Tesla owners for a premium :).Version: 1.0.5
✓ Use to work ok a couple of versions baxjUse to work ok a couple of versions back But now: doesn’t work anymore. Too many bugs, money losts.Version: 1.0.5
✓ RipoffBought the 4 cars but can’t use them.Version: 1.0.5
✓ Took 5 bucksI have had this app for a minute already and I Decided to buy decided to buy the five dollar deal and everything went Normal and my phone said the purchase was successful but right after that the game told me that the purchase was unsuccessful so I spent five dollars and it didn’t give me anything I am mad.Version: 1.0.5
✓ BuyersThe V8 sounds pretty cool, but I lost $7,58 for the pack of 4 cars. I didn’t receive the content in the app.Version: 1.0.5
✓ Staying optimistic.Being inaccurate and inconsistent. Would be cool if it could read OBD2 Wifi readers for real time RPM, because the gear changes are really confusing when driving. It's ok, but could be better..Version: 1.0.3
✓ No purchase restore buttonAsking me to buy the 4 cars again.Version: 1.0.5
✓ It's goodIt's a good start however for the price or even one more dollar all the cars should be included. When reset to idle it glitches a little. I would love to hear to gear change when I physically change gears just like the iboost app responds..Version: 1.0
✓ Paid for the bundle still lockedPaid for the bundle pack and they're still locked what the heck..Version: 1.0.3
✓ Used to work… broken nowDoesn’t work anymore - broken since os12 in 2018.Version: 1.0.5
✓ Restore failedDo not buy any other cars in this app doesnt work at all!!🤬.Version: 1.0.5
✓ Sound is off when breakingWorks ok but when breaking I noticed it doesn't drop down gears just stays in gear. The rev option is cool however for .99 cents should include all 5 cars..Version: 1.0
✓ It's ok.The sound is very crisp and clear. However, the calibration of this app is way off. It doesn't shift when I do which makes it sound kinda silly. I think that with I bit of work on the way the app reacts to the accelerometer is all it needs to be possibly the best app of its kind. Worth getting, not worth buying the in-app purchases. (For now, that is).Version: 1.0
✓ Nope don't do it!Sounds good but doesn't come close to matching engine. Revving and driving whilst stopped, nothing whilst moving, multiple resets!! Even for free it's rubbish!!.Version: 1.0.3
✓ Change it backThe app worked great when I downloaded it on google play. But now on apple store all the nice cars are locked. I tried to purchase them but it didn’t work..Version: 1.0.5
✓ This Is a RIP OFF!!Ok, this game is a huge rip off, as I just said! It costs $3.00 and you can only use one car, and you have to buy the other cars. This game is a scam and I highly regret buying it. This deserves 1 star. Only 1 because it Stupidly comes with one car that sounds cool, although it should come with more cars.SHAME.Version: 1.0.3
✓ Expensive for what you get noveltyThis app is a ripp off. All cars should be included for $.99 - not just one car! But then all can be forgiven if it works well, which it doesn't. The cars just rev to redline in every gear even though you are driving like a granny. It cannot sense gear changes in a manual. Biggest lemon of an app i have ever purchased. Wouldn't even get it even if it's free!.Version: 1.0
✓ Important message about the appWhy make me pay for the app when I have to pay for all the cars in the app how dumb is it to make me spend more money on cars when I have to pay for the app make the app free or make all the cars free it not fare on people who have brought the app taking people’s money making them basically pay for the same thing twice Like it’s not like I got the app for free on iOS (Very disappointed).Version: 1.0.5
✓ Bought 4 engine bundleNever got my engine sounds and I payed $7 for it.Version: 1.0.5
✓ Lost money?I bought the 4 cars and didn’t get them but otherwise i love to trick people with this.Version: 1.0.5
✓ Terrible lagTerrible lag. Revs don't match actual speed most of the time. I could be idling at a stop light and this thing is revving up to 3rd gear. You have to accelerate and break real hard to make this thing pick up changes in your speed. And the worse part is, they made the app free the one day after releasing it. App store needs to bring in a price guarantee for 7-10 days!!!.Version: 1.0
✓ Only one sound includeOnly one car sound is included in the price, the rest are additional cost for a pointless app.Version: 1.0
✓ Not happyAfter paying 69p for this app I can say its terrible you only get one car there are more which you have to pay for £2.99 also it doesn't work as it is supposed to when in the car..Version: 1.0.2
✓ Meh..Won't open past warning screen. Shame..Version: 1.0
✓ App reviewTotal waste of money, complete waste of 2 pounds. Please stay away from purchasing this app it’s a gimmick and does not work.Version: 1.0.5
✓ RubbishI liked the idea enough to buy the app, but it didn't work at all (iPhone 4s). It made accelerating and decelerating sounds seemingly whenever it pleased, in fact it made no sensible reaction to my car's motion at all! Refund wanted..Version: 1.0
✓ Horrible appThe car sound only works when I have music playing and and when I pause the song the app is mute also. I paid $2 for the app and you gave to purchase more cars for $2 more each?.Version: 1.0.5
✓ BadPretty poor app, doesn't work well at all.Version: 1.0.3
✓ Needs to change gearThe manual part of the app is the letdown doesn't change gear automatically you have to with your hand I know it can be done with the fake turbo.Version: 1.0.1
✓ It's a cool ideaIt dose not work as well as its has been described in the description for iPhone 3GS .. but if you have passenger it could control manually.. It's sounds good inside the car and you only get one car the rest you need to purchase ...Version: 1.0
✓ 😡😡Why can't I restore purchases, I wasted my money on this app.Version: 1.0.3
✓ Paid for extra cars and didn’t receiveBought the 4 pack of new cars, was invoiced for them but app keeps saying failed to download. Even though I paid for them..Version: 1.0.5
✓ Rip offDon't waste money. Only one car sound. All others cost extra. Only senses GPS. Very inaccurate. Still reving when car is stopped. Starts revving after I am at speed. I feel like a sucker for wasting my money..Version: 1.0.3
✓ Dosent work at allDosent work at all wast of money.Version: 1.0.5
✓ Don’t buyYou can’t use this app. The sound and your car’s acceleration never match up..Version: 1.0.5
