OverDrive 2.6
Reviews and Complaints

Dear Digital Dream Labs

I really like the new overdrive but it doesn’t save you progress in tournament mode. Plus, the weapons aren’t the same. I had so many levels on my weapons and I found out there isn’t levels. Anyways, the main issue is to make it so it saves your progress. I know you just brought Overdrive back and thank you for that, but a I am hoping to see improvements in the future. If you implement these changes, instant 5 star for me.

Thank you!

I don’t k own if it’s because the weapons that I have (had) are too new or something
But when I signed into my overdrive account it tried to transfer everything I had over but it left out nukes disintegrator and his antimatter smash thing which are two very valuable weapons to nuke
I also lost support items for both skull and ground shock
Other than those two big loses not much to complain about
Also nuke phantom is not available yet but I’m sure that will change in later updates

My big brother got me this for Christmas. Me and my brother were very exited. We got the fast and furious version, my brother picked it up from the store. It started to work but it kept saying that our cars were different names. Then they said that our cars were dead and wouldn’t let them race. And you’d think that after you bought this for about 50 dollars that the app would be free. Me and my brothers are very disappointed and sad. So now we wasted 3 dollars and we have to return the product to the store. Very very disappointed

So this game is now 3 bucks when the other apps were free. I mean why the heck would you do this when you made a worse game than the free one and now your charging ,only for this! First of all this is absurd for 3 bucks I mean the cars are glitchy the game won’t work and the weapons have such a long cooldown I mean who wants this crappy game. I have been an Anki fan and I’ve had the fast and furious for about 3 years now and on that app I had no trouble, but now the cars slide of the track when I’m going 0 miles per hour. Please Fix this.

I wish anki.com the company never shuts down the reason they closed the company back then permanently because they stopped making money makes me sad. Hi when I was a kid 2016 I always wanted this anki overdrive starter kit it was expensive at Walmart $150 but in 2022 I forgot about anki overdrive I started to buy two starter kit anki overdrive brand new I am so happy with it but one problem is lithium battery has to be replaced with a new one I did replace it on my own buying a powerful battery I got 40 min play time after results before was 20min with a new old battery I am a huge fan of this toy for so many years I hope they reopen the company again one day which I don’t think it won’t happen I recommend this app to everyone

I’m very thankful that Digital Dream Labs brung back this version of Anki Overdrive, and it brings back the good memories and challenges of beating the Tournament (to me, at least). But there are a few things I would like to see added/changed. First, I would like to be able to refresh the coin shop in 2.6 just like you are able to in 3.4. Another thing I would like to have is a modifier in the Race mode that disables weapons or support items. I would also like to be able to have all your equipped weapons and support items on the screen instead of cycling through them all.
This is definitely worth three bucks for this app, and I’m excited to see how Digital Dream Labs will use this to make even more improvements on Anki’s products.

Dear Digital Dream Labs,

I like the game, but . . .

CONS:
- it doesn’t include nuke phantom or the fast and furious cars
It also does not include ice X52, the third truck

- when I enter the garage and go to the equipment my game crashes

SUGGESTIONS:
- you should be able to refresh the shop for more money

PROS:
I can see the devs are trying and already have a new app, and a way to repair batteries and tires which was definitely needed.

I hope these things will addressed. I did not expect the app to be perfect immediately, but it came close and far exceeded my expectations. I am glad the game is being improved.

It was still incredibly fun despite these glitches, and I enjoy playing the game like 6-8 hours a day. Once I get my cars repaired it will be even better, and once the glitches are fixed it will be truly amazing.

Thank you
Sincerely
Luke

I loved the free version of this game, and this is just as fun, if not, more fun than the free version because of the tournament mode! However, with the tournament mode, I won against Crashbot (the first character you race in this mode) three times (the first time, since I just got this yesterday), and the stars didn’t add to my star count, as well as it isn’t letting me progress in the mode. I’m having tons of fun playing with this otherwise. But the fact that I can’t progress in the main single player mode of this game, is kind of a shame. Instant 5 stars if this gets fixed, since the game is extremely fun otherwise, especially the multiplayer aspect of this game, which is where both this, and the free one shine, in my opinion. However, I do think that this one shines more in the single player aspect, because of tournament mode. It’s just a shame that I can’t progress in it, since it seems like a really fun mode!

I will admit, sweet thinking bringing back the old Overdrive. Everything is how I’d hoped it would come to. Yet of course, the older Overdrive as well had a lot of glitches... like... a lot. When I opened the garage, the menu wouldn’t even come up. Instead, the little buttons on the bottom that say lines like, “Learn more about super cars” and such. Then when I opened up tournament mode, I hit the button that has the cars scan the track, then the game just immediately crashes. I tested with the other modes too and had the same results. But yet again, old Overdrive was basically like this for a little bit, but it picked itself back up... before they reworked the campaign that is complete sh- anyways, if you guys can return the old Overdrive with even a new tournament menu layout, then I bet you can late tournament-stage Overdrive. Where nothing crashed, everything was working well, and no menu glitches occurred. Good luck fellas.

As a first step towards reviving the awesome Overdrive platform from the brink of death, I applaud DDL in their initial efforts and their willingness to listen to what the community wants.

This is a return to the glory days of Overdrive game play, with a few limitations that I hope will be worked out in short order.

First priority would be enabling support for the three cars that came after this update: Nuke Phantom, Ice Charger and MXT. Not supporting all of the available hardware is a definite drag, but better than nothing. Just be aware that you will not be able to use those cars once you start using this app until they’re included.

Second would be allowing progress to carry over from previous accounts, though understanding the limitations of major changes might make that impossible. While a bummer to have to start from scratch, at least it’s possible.

I give 5 stars to the initial effort, hopeful that the few key features needed to maintain 5 stars will be coming in short order, and look forward to years of awesome!

When I first downloaded this app, I had high hopes for it. I thought Overdrive was returning to glory. But I’ve had an issue with this app for a while now, where my progress with the tournament would not be saved while I was logged in. A lot of other people had this issue too, along with other bugs that I personally did not experience. And even after about what feels like and probably is a year, the apple never got updated. These bugs never got fixed, and probably won’t be, which frustrates me, because DDL made it seem like they were gonna make Overdrive great again, and they would bring back everything that was good about the old Overdrive, yet all they did was release this app and forget about it. To make matters worse, I was having trouble changing the password for some reason, so I contacted DDL technical support, and all they did was tell me how to change the password, which I could not do and was why I contacted them, instead of look into the issue and figure out why I couldn’t change my password. This is unacceptable. I truly want this app and this company to succeed, I really do, but so far, they have proven that, gameplay and software wise, they could care less about us, and that’s unfortunate. It seems that the only purpose of this app was to use people’s nostalgia to generate stacks of money, and it hurts me to see that such a small company is doing something that corporations with scummy business practices like EA or Activision would do. Do not buy this app for any reason until the bugs are fixed. It will be a waste of your time and money.

This has been a waste of money as the app constantly crashes while scanning the track. Problems started after upgrading our devices to IOS 15.1. I’ve reported the problem to Apple, and I hope to get a refund!

App will not scan the track. It connects to the cars and lets you choose a race type but the app crashes every time you hit “scan track”. App is unusable making the track, cars and accessories useless . DONT WASTE YOUR MONEY

This app is crap. We can’t race each other because it keeps saying we’re not on the same Wi-Fi and it won’t connect to Wi-Fi either way and we are on the same Netwerk we tried both 2.4 GHz and 5.8 GHz networks in our house and it won’t connect.

This game used to be free but now we have to pay for it and everybody can’t afford to pay for it even with the new modifications to it. The game itself cost more than it does to buy it on the App Store. very fun game just wished it was free again.

It is a old version of the app which hasn’t been updated to hold all the cars. It has lots of bugs and can’t use all the super trucks. They are making you pay for an old, glitchy version that they won’t fix. Do not buy it, use the other one. It is a waste

Paid for the app hoping it would fix the issues we had, but we can’t even setup a multiplayer race the app won’t recognize the vehicles. Even in training mode our vehicles had difficulty staying in the track, fish tailing and doing random reverse u turns.

Hundred of dollars of equipment, including brand new Fast and Furious set, and the app (now cost $2.99 instead of free) is almost useless. Crashes any time we begin a match using original cars. Please, someone, fix this! I don't want to throw out hundreds of dollars...

I never pay for an app., but did this time after my son got a Christmas gift that was useless without it. The cars ran for maybe a minute, then quit. This was after charging multiple times. So now I’ve wasted money on an app and a toy that is pointless. Curious if there is a way to get a refund….

This app has always had great potential but they have a track record now of giving up on versions and creating new ones while never completing any of them. If the take the time to properly make their game and keep it released and available, with updates and maintenance it would be phenomenal but until then just save the money.

Got this app seeing the good reviews and thinking this would be a great improvement, but behold I can’t even use my garage or launch a game

Also when I went back to the normal app, I lost some of by best weapons somehow we’re talking hours of grinding this is super unfortunate

I have only had good experiences with dream labs until now, but this puts a bad taste in my mouth

First of all this is the same exact app as the original, crashes, bad layout, and still doesn’t support newer iphones. Like why did i pay 3 dollars for this if it’s the same as the old trash app. Upset that this company, That i did the survey for, did not listen to a single piece of advise and now has my money that they obviously won’t be doing anything with. Waste of money use old app!

Unfortunately, the bad reviews are right. Came back to check this out and paid the $3. First training mission worked fine. Second training mission, two of the cars are just greyed out and can’t be chosen and the third (which I just used) now disconnects the moment I take it off the charger. One works fine, but can’t play this with one car. Same exact result with a second phone. Don’t waste your $3.

I have been a long time buyer of anki overdrive products, but the app is currently unusable for me or anyone else in the household. When the “Begin Scan” button is pressed, the app crashes. Along with that, in the occasional time that the app does work, no campaign progress or weapons are saved. We were all very excited to be able to play with these cars again, but we are now equally if not more disappointed.

So I have had anki for over 3 years now and I have spent HUNDREDS of dollars on this. I just got my son a new I pad so he play this game more. He downloaded the app and was SO UPSET! He played through the first tournament toutorisl thing and he had to do it again. When he tries to open his garage after he gets a new weapon the game just crashes. Pleases fix these bugs I have loved anki so much and still want to play it.
