User Reviews for XLR8

Cool, but kinda broken

The 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!)

Not updated for IOS11

I 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.

Love It

I have to laugh at the negative reviews. I use it on an electric ebike with a Bluetooth speaker in order to give it noise. The app works beautifully. The other solutions in order to accomplish this would cost hundreds of dollars. I just wish the developer would develop a jet engine noise which would be a more appropriate noise for an E bike. Could you please do that? As for the people who complain about restoring purchases, they should know that all Apple apps work the same way. You have to click to buy it again but Apple then always gives you a pop-up notice that says you don’t have to pay for it again because you have already purchased it. The fact that so many people criticize the app over something that they should understand is truly pathetic.

Also lost my cars, was free to redownload

After the update, I lost all my cars. Worked great before. Still works great with just the free car, but I want all my cars back. When I get them I will change to 5 stars.Emailed the company and Miguel was very helpful. He informed me that as long as I use the same iTunes account that originally purchased the cars it would not charge me. I tried it and at first it does look like it will charge you, but after you input your iTunes password a pop-up window says that you have already purchased it and can download it for free. I got all my cars back.

Requests/criticisms

Great app! I've had it for over a year now. I love it. Although I would like to see an option for the voice to be turned off (reset to idle; drive forward). Also I've had some problems with low speeds. When first moving after a light, it waits for a second or so then rapidly accelerates. I'd also like to see that smoothed out a bit.

Looking good on the iPad mini

This new update fixed all the weirdness on the mini, but also noticed my car packs were locked again!I was able to get them back though by going through the purchase prompts again. Looks like it may recharge you but it detected I already had them!

Best engine sound changer for cars!

This is awesome, I was able to go in my car and have the most fun I've ever had, the sound kept up well with my cars speed, the gear changing was weird , but most of all still turn the stereo up all the way!

Works!! It really works!!!

Fantastic app! It transforms my family pickup truck into a fire-breathing, man-eating monster V8 with a racing cam and loping idle!!! It works great; you just have to follow the instructions in the app. The phone must be mounted inside your vehicle, facing upright. Come to a complete stop then tap the engine icon and follow the verbal instructions to set it up the first time.

Meh

Pros: fun app. Great engine sound. Base price for app okCons: hard to get it “dialed in” to somewhat match the drive of my carNot very responsive to accelerometer on phonePurchased the other engine sounds and will not successfully download. Retried multiple times with cellular data and WiFi. Will try a few more times then request refund for the other engines. Driving at highway speeds and when dropping elevation, simulated engine would downshift and hold in first gear until going up a hill. A bit wonky
