Grand Theft Auto: iFruit Reviews

by _Vices_

I guess I should not be surprised really, but GrandTheftAuto does not appear to support the next gen versions of the game that were recently released. I have tried signing in and out of my account to see if the list of available platforms updates, checked to see if an update was needed/pending, checked GrandTheftAuto on my iPad Pro to see if maybe it could be due to the fact I am using a much older iPhone model that can no longer access recent updates of GrandTheftAuto , but the only options shown are still PS3/PS4, Xbox 360/Xbox One, and PC.

I am normally willing to cut companies in the video game industry a certain amount of slack knowing that there are a lot of gamers that do not want to acknowledge the realities of developing modern AAA games and the cost it takes to do so, but the fact Rockstar and parent company Take-Two Interactive couldn't be bothered to update GrandTheftAuto for the next gen updates, plus the recent introduction of the GTA+ subscription plan that does not at all seem like a good value for players of a decade plus old game, are indicative of a lack of respect for your customer and force me to seriously question whether I should lump Take-Two in with the other publishers/studios that pushed even a business friendly customer like me too far and whose games I will no longer purchase under any circumstances.

I do not write reviews for apps but this has put me in such a bad mood I felt compelled to. GrandTheftAuto IS COMPLETELY UNUSABLE. Couldn’t see what I typed when I logged in. The text is whited out for whatever reason. Then, after waiting 10 minutes for GrandTheftAuto to load, I waited another 10 mins for it to download resource packs. When I opened the Los Santos Customs app to change license plates for GTA Online, GrandTheftAuto spent nearly 10 mins just loading, again. And for what? GrandTheftAuto to crash. Tried again, crashed again. Rockstar has once again neglected to update their content and it’s no surprise to me. It’s so sad that it’s been nearly 10 years and GrandTheftAuto hasn’t been able to run cleanly. Rockstar cannot for whatever reason spend a day fixing this absolute train wreck of an app, and it’s a perfect reflection of what can be expected by them if you’re new.

The Los Santos Custom feature of GrandTheftAuto crashes whenever an attempt is made to load into it. It is arguably the most appealing feature of GrandTheftAuto since it allows users to modify their cars in Grand Theft Auto V from GrandTheftAuto on their device, as well as uniquely allow for vehicle license plate customization. It has been frequently reported on Rockstar’s own communty forums that the iFruit app crashes when attempting to load into the Los Santos Customs feature, so this is a common issue. If you are using GrandTheftAuto for any other purpose than the Los Santos Custom feature then you likely won’t have an issue, but if you downloaded it just for the Los Santos Customs feature, as understandably many already have and would, then you are in for a big disappointment.

I cannot sign in. The first problem is that I can’t see what I'm typing into the sign in bar as its the same color as the bar. Secondly it just isn’t working. I rest my password and have attempted many times. I know I'm putting the correct information in but it still won’t let me in. So I can’t even use GrandTheftAuto . This is an issue as I doubt GrandTheftAuto will get fixed any time soon since it won’t be selling any shark cards.

To make things worse something happened and I had to make a new social club account, which whatever thats fine but I loss access to my custom plates that I payed for and now I can’t use GrandTheftAuto to get them back. Thanks Rockstar. Please fix this soon. I payed money for plates that I can’t access anymore.

UPDATE: I was able to get into GrandTheftAuto , however I had to repurchase all of my plates. This in not the fault of GrandTheftAuto but Rockstar social club somehow just loosing my account. GrandTheftAuto still deserves 1 star however. It be much more simple if we could just do this in LS customs in GTA Online instead of using GrandTheftAuto. The only reason 90% of people ever downloaded GrandTheftAuto was because of the plates feature. They should do us a favor and put the custom plates in LS customs and just take GrandTheftAuto of off the store.

I have always loved the fact that you can make custom plates through GrandTheftAuto. I had stopped playing gta online for a little while and came back for the new updates and have bought new cars in gta online. I re-linked my social club anticipating that I would be able to add my custom license plate to my new vehicle‘s however I have repeatedly tried multiple orders and none of which have shown up in los santos customs even though i have been receiving the texts telling me to go there. I did do some research and discovered that accounts may be put under the “dupe list” depending on the amount of cars one sells in a 30 hour period. but I can assure that my account has never been used for anything of the sort I legitimately steel and sell cars through my organizations vehicle warehouse. I believe I may have mistakenly been placed under the dupe list because I spend 6+ hours on GTA online a day legitimately stealing and selling cars, most likely over seven in a 30 hour period. it would make sense that I was mistakenly placed under that list. A response would be greatly appreciated as I would like this issue to be resolved in a timely manner.

I downloaded GrandTheftAuto thinking oh cool I can get a custom license plate. It asked for my info like email and password which I typed in. Later I realized I put in the wrong email for my ps4 account because you have to link your account and I put in the correct Info for my actual account and it told me it was still the same ps4 account. Eventually I got the correct account but GrandTheftAuto told me I switched my info and I needed to refresh GrandTheftAuto . So I closed it out and opened it again. When I went to change my license plate again it told me the same thing every time I tried to go to the custom plate section. Or any section for that matter. I repeated the process about 5 times and got the same result. I ended up deleting and and re getting GrandTheftAuto . It went smoothly until the same section I was having trouble with aka the LS customs center. The problem once again occurred. I don’t think I am going to try this again as to me a custom plate is not worth the trouble but if the developers fix this I would be happy.

I had GrandTheftAuto a few years back and it worked nearly perfectly. I switched phones and i’ve just recently re-downloaded GrandTheftAuto to connect to my Social Club account. Upon opening, I found a couple things wrong with it automatically. For starters, it took AGES to open up. Then when it prompted me to the sign in screen, I couldn’t even see what I was typing since the font color is the same as the background. Once I finally signed in, it took a tremendous amount of time to take me to the apps I could use. I then tried opening up the LS Customs app and it resulted in a crash. I reopened it once again after the long loading screens, and tried opening the Chop app. At least that one worked. I once again tried to open LS Customs and it crashed another time. I gave up and deleted it. Do not recommend, 0/10. What happened to GrandTheftAuto ?

by Brian Alexander Hernandez Diaz

GrandTheftAuto simply crashes when entering the Los Santos Customs mode and it has been in this state for a extremely long period of time. For this issue to not be fixed, is a clear example of why Rockstar does not work towards fixing the problems the game and services have. Players are having to come up with ways on how to fix this issue themselves. Despite several requests from Rockstar’s supporters asking for a way towards resolving this issue. They instead steer their focus on finding what new ways people are exploiting the game to make money because prices of items are ridiculously inflated. I completely understand that they are bugs and glitches which should be fixed because if they continue, the decline of players buying shark cards will start rising. But this simple bug should be worked on and fixed without hesitation.

Everytime I try to load GrandTheftAuto , loading it up works fine. However, when I click the LS Customs tab, it loads all of the worded texts and begins to load. Only for it to crash and exit out back to the phones home screen.

I’ve attempted uninstalling and reinstalling, waiting at least 10 seconds up to a few minutes, giving GrandTheftAuto itself a few days up to a week and checking back. No progress has been made.

There’s nothing else I use GrandTheftAuto for except for LS Customs. Rockstar, if you are reading, I know I am no expert. But something like this should only take 1 person/programmer to fix. Surely you can spare one employee to fix and/or oversee the mobile app while the rest of your teams work on the mainline games.

The LS Customs honestly is horrible. Being able to make custom plates is awesome. But when your ONLY trying to make a custom plate and then hit order, it automatically applies EVERY customization that’s already selected, even if you’ve selected none. I spent $300,000 in game to customize my Dominator GTX, then went to make my custom plate, and hit order, and it got rid of EVERY customization, but I mean hey, I got my plate. So now I only have to go make another $300,000 to RE-customize it. 😒 And it doesn’t even have EVERY customization the IN-GAME LS Customs has. You guys should make customizing from the phone better because a lot of my friends have had the exact same problems happen. Or just make a way where you ONLY are ordering the plate and now other customizations too.

I only ever really use GrandTheftAuto to put custom plates on my vehicles. But even that seems broken just like a solid chunk of GrandTheftAuto . Sometimes, GrandTheftAuto won’t register the last vehicle I’ve driven so that I can make an order for it, and it’ll register a personal vehicle that I haven’t touched for a while. A custom order {for some reason}, costs $100,000 in GTA. Whether it be Five, or Online. While that’s no big deal at all, I feel that it’s way too expensive for a simple upgrade. The rest of GrandTheftAuto is also fairly disappointing. Chop the Dog really has no point of being touched, settings are fairly limited, and even then, you have the option to just go to Social Club instead. Overall? Not the best. It requires a serious update, last one we received was over a year ago.

I love GrandTheftAuto, but there is a major issue. If you are like me, you forget easily for passwords and only have a couple that you use. So I tried them and one of them worked! (I put keep logged in feature on) The next day I went to go on GrandTheftAuto . I was logged out. No biggy, I thought until I tried to log in and I couldn’t. It said I had to log into social club to re-activate the account, but I am logged into social club. I logged out and logged in through PlayStation, and I was good. I went back to GrandTheftAuto to try the password for social club, not PlayStation. Sign in failed. It said that had to log in to social club... I AM!! So now I can’t log in and do cool stuff like make a custom plate like I always wanted. Please make it a way for GrandTheftAuto to have a button to log in through ps4, Xbox and everything else, like on the social club website. Because if anybody has this problem we are in trouble...

Interacting with Chop is much more cartoony than I expected, but is cute and fun. I like that I can customize my cars in GrandTheftAuto , but I wish I could see my available funds before spending money on upgrades and from what I can tell so far I can’t see how much money I have in GrandTheftAuto . I like being able to access the social club from here, but wish it was more integrated in GrandTheftAuto opposed to just opening a web browser. I can do that on my own. I’d love to see more options like being able to access AmmuNation to purchase/customize weapons, clothing store to buy more clothes and accessories for my character and create outfits, and even be able to go to the tattoo shop in GrandTheftAuto . At least browse tattoo designs even if I can’t actively purchase for my character. GrandTheftAuto could be so much more than it is, there’s so much potential here.

GrandTheftAuto is good at what it does but what it does well isn’t enough. I know rockstar could make GrandTheftAuto into something better than what it is, needs more apps and possible a portal to the internet in game so we can view the prices of things. It doesn’t even need to be able to purchase things. Another idea is give us access to most if not all of the Interaction menu. Give us access to all of the in game phone apps if we wanted to call our mechanic or manage our CEO/VIP/MC on it. Maybe even let us change our Crew Logo and colors on GrandTheftAuto ! This could be a cool app but after all of the updates it looks like you guys let this project long forgotten. I gave it three stars because it doesn’t do anything poorly, but it doesn’t get five stars because there isn’t enough that GrandTheftAuto can do that makes it a valuable tool worth having in the modern GTA Online world. Please make this better!

I haven’t played/used GrandTheftAuto in over a year now and now I’m trying to log back in it’s telling me that I need to go to the social club account or website so I did and then I went back in to the IFruit app and it’s still saying that it has failed logging in so I go back and reread the steps carefully and then I got back and do the steps and I went back it still says that it has still failed logging me in and I did it some more times and now it’s saying that I am signing in from a new device well I’ve been sitting here for the past hour in a half trying to get into my IFruit app and account and this is what I get in return wow thanks a lot rockstar really makes me happy -_-

This might be just for me but I have tried to open this out for about three months now and probably in the first month GrandTheftAuto wouldn’t open it all and it was just load and then give me a black screen and then the next two months it will go and turn on by if I try to open any of the applications it would crash GrandTheftAuto and I walked up multiple walk-through to try an eliminate the problem and each and everyone of the ideas that I am venturing with don’t produce the responded outcome that I am looking for, now I tried to use it on a different phone and it opens for a little bit but crashed again after a while and it wouldn’t update any of the cars or the chop portion of GrandTheftAuto either, so at this point I’m stumped in him just requesting rockstar update the performance of GrandTheftAuto to work with the newer iOS versions that are coming out.

by SenpaiLovesPanda

GrandTheftAuto is amazing if you want to be able to have a closer connection to your dog chop or your cars, BUT I was thinking for online we could make outfits or go clothes shopping without buying anything on our iFruit app (irl) and make the outfits and when we get in the game we can go to the store and know what we want to but instead we are sitting at the clothing store for 4 hours and deciding not to buy anything... (done this multiple times). I’ve also done multiple times of thinking of an outfit but u don’t want to waste the money buying it if I don’t know what will look good with it.
I hope you consider my suggestion and thank you for having the time to read my Review.

iFruit is mainly designed to work as a management tool and portal into the Rockstar games world, specifically for GTA V.
From the main menu users have the option to go to the Rockstar Store, the web page for numerous GTA games as well as the instruction manual or social tool pages for GTA V such as Los Santos Customs, Chop The Dog, Snapmatic and Life Invader. Users can also go to the settings page where you can switch your gaming platforms, link your Facebook and/or Twitter accounts and set up notifications for in game GTA features. Arguably the most beneficial use of GrandTheftAuto is the ability to go to the Social Club site where you can just about manage and customize anything GTA V related whether it is account, character or community related. Users can also stay informed of the latest Rockstar Games news whether it be new game features released, website sales on games and merchandise and much more.

I love using GrandTheftAuto for my custom plate creations. I have different custom plates for all of my luxury cars. That being said, some days GrandTheftAuto just won’t load and it’s super annoying. For example, two days ago I created 10 different custom plates for 10 different cars and had zero issues. I bought a car on sale today and when I go to make the plate, GrandTheftAuto loads most of the way but crashes when I go to load LS Customs and will not work. I also find it extremely hard that GrandTheftAuto doesn’t show all of my owned cars and appears to max out at 10.

I do not understand the inconsistencies with GrandTheftAuto loading. I have also seen that GrandTheftAuto blows for Google Play Store. My bf tried to get a custom plate for his car and GrandTheftAuto wouldn’t even open for him to attempt anything.

It appears that the last update for GrandTheftAuto was two years ago. I can only assume that most, if not all, of these issues are because there hasn’t been a recent update. R* you’re really missing out here by not updating GrandTheftAuto to work more efficiently.

i am half confused on everything with GrandTheftAuto then i got use to it for a few things here and there but i have a question are you able to manage your crew things like motto and picture because when i made mine my wifi kicked me off it when i was just done with my crew and then when i was doing the logo it stoped so now its something i dont want and if this isnt possible then maybe in the future this could be a new update because ipod cant make any edits to the logo for my crew. so now its a pink logo when my crew color is lime green i tell ya it doesnt match at all.

I used to use GrandTheftAuto all the time to make personalized license plates and do stuff for chop when i played story mode but today I decided to make a new car for the fun of it and I wanted a new plate. so I reinstalled GrandTheftAuto and had a ton of trouble signing in like everyone else and when I tried to open the Los Santos Customs section it would load for a few seconds and GrandTheftAuto would crash. at first I wasnt too bothered by it and i opened up GrandTheftAuto again and had to sign in again (even tho i had checked auto sign in) and opened the LSC section and it crashed again. I tried a few more times to the same result. Really disappointed GrandTheftAuto use to be great but now its just sad. please fix it.
