Add an Optare Solo bus plz
I love this game, but plz add an Optare solo to the game and extend how far you can play in the lite version
Bug
Game keeps crashing on me
minor issues
sometimes it doesn’t run so smoothly but overall great game very detailed
We Need The Full Version Free
This Is The Great Game, But I’m Not Wasting My Money On A Full Version. I Will Give It A 5 Star If The Full Version Is Free.
Fix glitch
Once I got on the game I went through the logo and name.Then it started to load.On the last part of the loading it logged me out.Please fix the glitch.🥺😭
Best bus sim game you must get!
This lite is very good because if gives you to two buses one small and one big 18M and it gives you 5 routes and in my opinion it the best bus sim game o. The App Store and it is the lite very nice and realistic If I had to pay £4 (rounded) I would get it😁
In App purchase
Do not play !! You pay for in app purchase - that you will never received or get a refund. Avoid at all cost !!
Nice game but…
I don’t understand how you HAVE TO PAV £3.99 TO GET OVER LEVEL 7.But overall the game is fantastic the graphics are great the controls are very easy and the game has great mechanics.Last of all I really like the gameplay and the game itself and it not bad but it isn’t the best.
Vollversion
Es wäre toll wenn die Vollversion nichts kosten würde. Würdet ihr das bitte bitte kostenlos machen? 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻Würde mich sehr freuen. Das Spiel selber, ist wirklich toll.
Pretty Goood
Quite fun for a while. To be honest it’s a bit dull, but if you want a relaxing drive around in a bus this looks and drives quite well. The only problem was that it’s easy for your fingers to stray off the steering wheel area since you have to look where you’re going. But a bit of pedestrian murder adds to the spiciness of the game, although you lose points.
Fr
I love your game but I don’t do anything wrong why I am get bad review from passengers
Rubbish
You can’t even control the acceleration and the steering on the bus properly, and levels are too quick and boring
Nice Game, but…
I actually really like this game except for three factors. 1. I wouldn’t pay £3.99 for this if I was given the chance to again - there’s just not enough variation and excitement in the game (eg not enough buses, not enough routes etc.) 2. The bugs. The main bug which I’ve seen across around the year and a half I’ve had this game but not seen fixed is when you stop at a station, you randomly get pop-ups for saying you’ve hit a pedestrian, stopped too far, not made a passenger move, and more, racking up over -1000 points on an otherwise good and successful drive. This wrecks my score, and makes me have to do it again, which is incredibly annoying. 3. This game is incredibly hard-hitting on my phone. The amount of battery percentage it eats up is unbelievable. Bearing in mind I have an iPhone 13, so not something ancient, and it did this even when my phone was brand-new. This means I cannot play this game on the go, and almost always have to have a charger nearby to even think of playing it. I hope the devs see this, and tweak the game for the user’s enjoyment. Thanks
Kompletter Fortschritt weg!
Installiere ich mir das Spiel auf meinem iPad (zusätzlich), ist mein Fortschritt auf meinem iPhone weg. 👎🏻
Lagging issues
Too much lagging it almost borke my IPad. In India it works but here in Qatar it doesn’t.
game’s great
considering getting the full version (if my mum gives me permission to buy it) soon :D great game, it’s cool but they should remind me to turn on my indicator lights before I use them, not after I lose them. don’t really mind it that much though! 5 stars :)
Can’t download problem
I want to play the top of 5 realistic bus simulator game like a real life version 😡
Ok but
Seriously? Paying just to play the game when it is free. After a certain level you have to pay. I’d not think this is fair. In my option I would get rid of the PAYING TO PLAY SYSTEM. But apart from that it is a good game and I would like it if you could have xp to get new buses Thanks for a good game
Scam
Das Spiel ist an sich gut aber Man muss nach ein paar strecken die vollversion kaufen Und ein Tag später ist es so als hätte man nie die vollversion für 4.99€ gekauft ! EINFACH NUR ABZOCKE !!
Please make it so the full version is free
Look this game is really fun it has a lot of potential. But it gets boring after you realize you have to get the full version by paying real money. I am not trying to spend money just to play the full version. I have seen other reviews asking to make the full version free. Please just make it free so we can enjoy the game
My experience
This is a nice bus the, one of the best I’ve ever played, the only thing that bugs me is when a car hits my bus, I lose points and I says I hit a car
IF YOUR WILLING TO PLAY THIS GOOD FOR YOU BUT I ADVISE YOU NOT TO PLAY!!!
IT KEEEPS KICKING ME OUT AND WHEN YOU GET TO LEVEL 7 I TELL ME TO PAY £5 POUNDS TO CONTINUE
O
The game and graphics are great but when you get to level seven you have to pay maybe you can change that :
Geht
Ich habe mir ein Bus Unternehmen erstellt und alles , easy , komme zu dem Bild „Wird geladen“ höre wie ein Motor startet und werde dann aus dem Spiel geschmissen, dachte so ein Spiel wäre mal was anderes . Naja irren kann man sich ja 💁🏻♂️ .
Bus sim
I paid for full version but it did not work. I’ve checked my bank details and it says you were paid. Could you please check my payment
Please fix
The game looks great but am trying to get on it it just kinda keeps kicking me off the game
Can’t delete
I just can’t believe I can’t delete this game!
it’s good
but i can’t get more things as i’m stuck in 7/9 and i need to get 9/9 to get another route please help me
Too stuttery
Thought it looked promising but with every bit of movement after a few seconds, it pauses and then repeats continually. Unplayable. Very disappointing
Glitches
I love this game! So realistic. However. If I do more then one route the game starts to glitch which means the bus ends up crashing into cars and people. Even though I’ve spent the money (twice over) to get the full version I still can’t pass certain levels because my driver lever goes from level 9 to level 7 randomly.
Listen
This game is sick but when you play like fore 10 minutes it will instantly kicks you out that’s a bug they should fix.
Terrible game
The reason I said that because the tickets like I’m not liking it’s wasting my money plus I played the whole game and now I need the full version I ain’t playing it also when I’m turning into the roundabouts I put the right singal and it’s tell me I put the worng one on this game does not make any sense
Need more updates
Please add cruise control, and brake pedals in a drive reverse and neutral plus parking brakes
Great if you’re willing to pay, otherwise skip!
I recently downloaded this app and was very happy, the graphics were great, gameplay was challenging and fun and there was a lot of extra elements that I thought were really cool. But sadly my happiness was short lived as when I got to level 7 it told me I then I have to pay £5 to unlock any more levels!! So my advice is, if you aren’t willing to pay that (like me) then I’d skip this. Such a shame as I was really loving the game!!
The glitches
Yes it is a good game but it keeps glitching and kicking me out of the game which is really annoying. And on the first level I keep missing points on the roundabout I used the left indicator I lost points but then I used the right one and still missed points so developer please stop the glitches and everyone be careful
Pls read review :3
The game is really nice and has great graphics. recently I downloaded the game in 2000 and now I’m not able to use facility on my iPad 7th gen. Pls make the game available for iPad 7th gen. Tysm for cooperation.
Bus simulator lite
Hello I rencentley purchased the full version of the game for £5 I played up to level seven and it says buy the full version of the game and when I brought the full version of the game it did not unlock anything so please fix the game as soon as possible and send me a reply within 1 week or I will report you so s
Ok but
I love the game graphics and me personally I like to use tilt but could u make it more realistic because when I tilt my phone slightly it doesn’t move so I have to move my phone lots to tilt I have turned the tilt sensitivity really hard get and it hasn’t changed anything Please make an update ASAP because I would love to continue this game. Please reply I’d really like to hear your thoughts
Viele Abstürze
Ich würde tatsächlich mehr Sterne geben, wenn ich nicht bei jedem Start direkt rausgeschmissen werde. Wenn es dann mal klappt, dann komme ich nicht einmal zur ersten Haltestelle. Leider sehr schade
Really nice… until the cost 👍
I’ve been looking for a good driving game for a long time and this one ticks a lot of boxes. It’s got really nice mechanics and features, and I love the passengers conversations that you overhear! There are a few things that could improve like the graphics or including a cruise control, and I’d love the horn to affect nearby cars. Also, if the certain doors you open could affect things then that would be nice to. Overall, lots of good mechanics, but it would be nice if they had more of a role to play. Also, if the speed traps were actually visible and you got a warning before you came to them then that would be nice too. If the devs really wanted to take it a step further then integrating police would be amazing! Sadly though, after a few route unlocks, you must buy the full version to continue unlocking busses and routes. I don’t know if it’s worth £4.99 and it is disappointing. So for that reason I gave it 3 stars instead of the deserved 4. Really sad because I had to uninstall after getting bored of the routes 😢. Would have loved to play longer and might have even purchased some of the in-app purchases. Really good game though and if you are willing to spend a bit of cash then I highly, HIGHLY recommend.
Very good
I had a question how do you bring up the bus menu
Absolutely rubbish
Horrendous and restrictive. I DONT recommend this game.
Please make the sane thing but free version
Hello i live its great i recommend it but you have to buy the full version let us play the full version with ad have a nice day
Naja, ganz ok aber…..
die Steuerung ist nicht wirklich brauchbar. Es kommt einfach kein Fahrgefühl auf. Alles sehr hakelig, steif zu steuern. Keine Bremse? Man sollte lieber ein Brems- und ein Gaspedal einzeichnen. Die Grafik selber ist in Ordnung.
Great start but needs better gameplay feel
This game could easily be by far the best best bus simulator game on iOS. I’m rating it 3 stars now due to the gameplay and general feel. I’ll list the pros and cons. But I really hope these changes are taken into account s I’d love to see this game become very popular as it has got a great starting platform. Pros: 1.) The game has great graphics 2.) The NPC’s have character and bring the game to life with the extra layer of depth they bring. 3.) Management and gameplay are both key features 4.) The customisation from the very beginning is good letting you choose the company name, colours, badge and your avatar 5.) The map has varied roads and doesn’t feel plain 6.) The bus design is detailed and features real licensed buses 7.) You are rewarded for correct driving as there are points rewarded for sticking to the speed limits, indicating and being on time as there is also a schedule. 8.) There is a ticket system where NPC’s will ask for a ticket and you have to supply them with the correct one Cons: 1.) The dead zone on the tilt steering option is way too big and makes the bus hard to control 2.) the wheel only has 360 degrees of rotation from lock to lock. For a bus this is not enough. It is so satisfying to see the wheel turn and turn around tight corners. 3.) To fix these issues you should take inspiration from bus simulator ultimate, bus simulator 2023 and public transport simulator as these all have a much smoother steering mechanisms as well as wheel rotation. (Very important for a driving game). 4.) The bus slows down too quick. If you let go of the accelerator the bus slows down very fast and makes the brake almost obsolete in some cases. A bus is heavy and should be able to coast this, would also vastly improve gameplay feel. 5.) The brake changes to reverse way to quick so often you can find yourself pressing the brake hitting zero then start reversing. A gear selector for Drive and Reverse is an easy fix for this problem. Conclusion: Please as the developers of this game will you consider the gameplay points I have raised as these are key to a smooth immersive gameplay. The plethora of extra features not seen on any other IOS games is great. But the key to a great game lies primarily in the raw gameplay and feel. I hope this game receives support for the following weeks months and years to come as this could 100% be the best bus simulator on mobile by far.
I downloaded this game on Christmas’s eve 2022
Very good
Crashing
The game doesnt even launch and when it does, it glitches and kicks you of of the game
Very good😎😎🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩
I recently downloaded it and it’s great but one thing though is that the full version should be in the lite version
Good intentions but very laggy
This game is ok if you look past the fact that it is super laggy. You can barely play the game. Please fix this.
Not many control options
Please add some more control options such as a steering wheel or arrows, maybe giving us an option to to change around the interface to our own preference.
