Gear.Club - True Racing Reviews

by Hunting Humans

Tilt controls are horrible, I have to hold my iPad at a 45 degree angle to drive straight. Restarted GearClub , still had problems, reinstalled and had the same issue. I have Real Racing 3 and other racers working perfectly so it’s not the iPad.

Glitches all over the menus, I tried installing the game onto my new iPhone X. They have the full screen update for the X so I was optimistic, but strange graphics errors started happening. I couldn’t tap the back button in the menu because some random text was floating over the spot. Couldn’t go forward because half of a graphic box was covering that also. So I was stuck and unable to play. Restarted GearClub and it happened again. This game seems severely buggy.

The only reason I tried this game was because I saw it was available for the Nintendo Switch, so I wanted to see a preview before paying full retail price. This version has scared me away!

When I first played this game I was obsessed. Everything was spot on from garage management to car response was spot on. To satisfy my racing itch while my cars were in the shop getting worked on I downloaded Real Racing 3 and I got hooked into THAT game for a few months. One night I decided to see go back to gear club and see what was shaking and things were indeed shaking. Things like my iPad as I twisted it right to left like a mad man just to get my cars to listen to be. I was so used to the precision steering response from RR 3. Was it like this before? If it was, how did I manage? It couldn’t of been like this! I had to turn my iPad a complete 90 degrease in either direction just to have the car suddenly wake up, realize it missed it cue and veer to the right or left like the tiny driver inside the car had been knocking em back all night . I tried the direction buttons and it wasn’t the same. I deleted it.
Gear club may have more customization options than rr but when i have to save a months gold just to feel like I’m not totally wasting my gold on cosmetics when there are high end cars I want to buy with it. To me it’s just developers making a gold vacuum so I’ll bust out my wallet and buy more. In Real Racing once you fully upgrade a car u can paint it and decal it free on charge. Trust me REAL RACING 3 is the best and all the tracks are real too

I enjoy the sense of progression so far, from A1-A3. The tracks are fun and the over-world map has a lot to offer. The challenge rewards are just that, rewarding, and the variety of cars the game has is satisfying, but the killer of what would make this a great game is the that GearClub is constantly crashing, and if it crashes at the end of the race, or directly after you begin installing an upgrade on your car, you'll lose that progress.

I may spend money on this game at some point, but definitely not until the constant crashing is fixed.

Additionally, it would be more satisfying if on the run through of previously completed races the payout at the end was increased slightly, enough to make them viable to repeat in their own right, instead of just for completion of mission reward goals. This may be an issue for the designers price model, if they reward to much in game currency, no one will be willing to pay real currency, however, the race rewards only reward standard in game currency and not the premium gold, so it doesn't seem like it would be an issue.

3 out of 5 for graphics, car selection, controls, and variety of tracks.

Minus 2 for lack of playability due to app crashes and getting shortchanged on repeat race rewards.

Feels a little bit more friendlier compared to other racing games on GearClub store. I wish that they can increase the gold bar payouts since certain things in the game require a significant amount of gold, unless you pay some real paper. However that ain’t really a top issue for me, the main issue is that you can’t change the placement of the brake and steering buttons, especially on the iPad, since you have to move your fingers closer to the middle of the screen, or you’ll be accidentally pressing the directional steering rather than the brake. I don’t really find fond of motion steering since I’m prone to easy lose control. Last issue I find very inconvenient is when you go idle the game soft reboots. It would be better if the game would only check for an active connection rather than soft rebooting itself everytime I go idle. It would be Other these issues, I love this game.

Ps. Please give us option to skip tutorial when starting a new game.

Ps. Why ain't I gettinh my rewinds when I complete certain missions? I race with confidence thinking I could use my 6 rewinds that I was rewared, twice!!! Just to my surprise I find out when racing that I never got them. This has happened to me twice. Now i'm even skeptical to purchase some with gold if this is happening.

This is a good game. I like the controller support. HOWEVER, there are glitches that are SO annoying they are unforgivable. If I am using the controller, I am hardly touching the screen. BUT when I haven’t touched the screen for awhile, it asks me if I am still here. THEN it takes me away from where I may have selected to go. If I select that I want to use my controller when I open the game, and there are rewards to collect, the game won’t allow the collection. It won’t even let me collect through touching the screen. I actually have to close the game, re-open it, select “no”, collect, re-close the game, then re-open it to play the game. Are You SERIOUS?!? Glitches like these are...just SLOPPY! The Controller support needs improvement.

by Foxxnetmarcelo@yahoo. Com

Good game! But the dollar payoffs are too small and you can’t buy dollars you can only buy gold. So you wind up waiting and only playing flash races until you can save up enough dollars to upgrade your cars. If the race money awards were better it would become great game.
The updates are way too slow in coming and when they do occur they never work right. So for a couple of days you’re in limbo when you can’t play. It won’t let you play until you update. The update only gives you an open to the game and when you open it once again it tells you you have to update.
Once they improve the racing awards and fix the update issue this is potentially a fantastic game!

by Ultranium

This game is good, it gives you a lot of choices for customization and upgrades, and the performance shop aspect is really cool. But one thing I don’t understand is how I could have a car with a PI of 204 and the championship said being “very easy” yet I can only come in at 4th place or lower in time attack races! Also, I had an A3 class car using for just a general A class championship and for some reason could not win a time attack race and then when I used an A2 class that said the race would be medium difficulty I won easily. I don’t know what it is but this has caused me to quit GearClub multiple times because I would never be able to win a race even though it said very easy! Please fix!

Game is also a little buggy, just was doing a race and going around 160 mph and hitting my brakes for a turn before being launched through the side of a mountain and causing the game to crash.

The game isn't the bad, The amount of gold and money that you can collect during the game isn't that helpful once you get into the higher classes of cars. Your winnings or even your sign-on's bonuses (spin the wheel) you'll collect minimal cash or five gold but it doesn't help much at all with the cars upgrades or purchasing a new car. You're not able to sell cars or jump upgrades which furthers the frustration. It's not pay to play but that will definitely help in this game if you want to keep advancing. My thoughts are once you get to the higher levels (C1 -D) there's really no way to collect the enough cash and gold needed to purchase upgrades and new cars. This leaves you with flash challenges and the league to keep the money flowing in the game and you will be playing that often to keep the advancement going.

by Swat Haker Dude

First of all it’s really boring once you run out of money to buy cars and stuff second graphics are pretty good I still recommend playing it but unless you have money it’s pretty boring because you run out of money a lot of the time and to get more you either play and wait 5hrs or buy more money in the store I’d recommend getting a bank account before playing this it’s still pretty good though the fact that you run out of money quick is pretty boring so download it and wait till ur 16 lol just sayin but please play this I’m tryna help out y’all developers/developer! 🫤😢🖤❌🚫💊💊💊🆚💶🤑💸💰💶💶💶💶💶💸💰💴💵💴💴💴💴💴💴💵💵💵💵💵💵💵💵💵💵💵💶💶💶💶🤑🤑🤑🤑💸💰💴💸💵💶💰💸💵💶💸💶💸🤑💴🤑💸💵💸🤑💴💰🤑💰

Sometimes you'd get launched into the air for no reason. I mean some bumps here and there are fine but when you're setting a good time and suddenly you lose it or have to use a rewind through no fault of your own and lose the flow it's just stupid. Also, give us a way to turn off ghosting especially online. It gets so annoying when you can't see your apexes especially in legends league where everyone is so close, Once I was trying to make up a time difference of one tenth for three positions and I just couldn't improve on my time because I couldn't see the track.

by Happ Dooms Day

This game is phenomenal when it comes to other games in this genre. I immediately liked the fact that you didn’t need to wait for an energy bar to refill every ten races. Or even how it’s not even littered with pop ups for micro transactions. The game play is great and the customization and shop feature is unlike any other game. Although the constant need for downloading has become a problem. I cannot participate in some races ,that including the special event. It will either crash or say network error on multiple devices. All in all this game is great with little to no drawbacks

by Deadly420aim

This game is really good, though if there was a clutch added in with paddle shifters and and automatic gas put into the driving scheme where the gas pedal was changed out with the clutch and the shifters for up and down were put accordingly above and below the brake on the left with a gyroscope platform it would be excellent for drifting and power control in corners to move faster and make better track times then this would be incomparable to any racing game and be the closest to realistic with a few added details to tire wear, frame bending cosmetics to damage and wear on the vehicle during the race and better quality picture. Overall this is a decent game

by David Greenz

Love the game. It has its flaws just like any other game you play, however the support team works very hard to stay in contact with you and is Actually very helpful. I like to believe that I was with in one of the first couple of thousand to start playing Gear Club when it launched and I have enjoyed it. The cars are sweet and it can only get better as we grow. And it’s downside for me is that I have an iPhone 6 with 8 gb memory and this is the only game that I can have on my phone due to it takes a lot of memory to run as well as update. But again that’s not really their fault as to I need to upgrade my phone. But all in all great game. Keep up the good work and I’ll see you out there on the track. Look for David greenz. Thank you

First off, thank you to the developers for making a unique game where you can customize where you place the different workshops and furniture, while keeping the racing portion as the main focus.

As Baldie said, the price for parts are a bit expensive, and the races definitely should be longer than 2 minutes. Now, I just started playing, so maybe the later races are longer, but from what I can tell, the races are a bit short.

I also think that the control scheme should have an option for the steering wheel on one side of the screen, and the brake on the other. That is from Real Racing 3, and I love the ability to brake when I want to, instead of having to wait for the game to decide to brake.

Other than those issues, I love the game, and I’m definitely recommending this to friends. Maybe you could add some prizes for people who recommend the game to others, with better prizes depending on how many people you recommend.

Keep going devs, you guys have made an amazing game so far, and I can’t wait to see what else you guys have to implement.

by GBGeorge2019

I think the best things about this game are the realism in the game. In the Performance shop, I think it’s super amazing to open the car doors to see the interior abs be able to lift the hood and see the engine in each car. I’ve noticed you can see realistic reflections in the door mirrors too. I like the music and sound effects but I’d like to hear different music and effects sometime too.

During races I like the realistic handling depending on how the driver assists are set. The realistic engine sound is awesome too. The only part of the racing I don’t like much is the opponent “ghost racers”. I wish they would always be solid/real racers. The night races are tough too since the car’s headlights often don’t show much visibility.

Overall it’s a great game though.

by Kellicarlson87

This is my second review, until around May-July I had nothing frustrating enough to complain about it was amazing! I still LOVE this game, EXCEPT FOR: Rush events loading till 95% then freezing, then offering you to do the rush event again once you’ve closed down GearClub for gold or money then does it again it’s happened at least 10x recently. That I can get over because I do absolutely hands down love parts of this game BUT WHAT I CANNOT ACCEPT IS Customer Service simply just NOT responding ONCE for anything I’ve had problems with, not a peep! Not even a generic “we’ll look into it” lie like other games. I just think that’s so unbelievably rude. Game is great customer service is the worst I’ve ever seen.

The game is phenomenal, becomes addictive and has great customization when it comes to the cars. You can add on multiple different wings, bumpers, splitters, and skirts. But it fails to make you want to come back to play, this is because once you get to a higher level you don’t make enough cash and it becomes a grind to get that corvette or that m4. The handling and steering is not the best either, you may bump into a object(car or fence) and slow down 30 miles when you just tapped it. Also, no madder what tires you have on or what car it is you will always find yourself sliding on asphalt! It is asphalt not a wet dirt road. And finally the A.I. Is way to easy for the first 100 races, until I got to 450 stars I got 3 stars on all races, usually only doing it once. With all that said it is great with some major flaws but I think it it worth trying.

I have been playing this game for about 6 years and honestly I enjoyed it. The cars looks absolutely great from the interior to the exterior. Being able to build your own shop and seeing the team you hired to work on your cars was a nice touch. The game also lets you customize the car with spoilers, front and rear bumpers, side skirts, rims(about 1-4 choices available), paint and the hood. But what I hate is that AI can be either slow and let u take the lead or they can smoke you!! There are times where my car rating was much higher than them but they still manage to smoke me. **Heads up, if you get the GTR in a FlashEvent be ready to get smoked cause once it takes off there is now freaking way you will catch up to it (even worse in the derby cause their is no chance of catching up)** also a tip: If you wanna win but you are neck and neck with the AI, push it into the guard rail he will lose speed cause of the dumb mechanic where if you scrape the car on the rail it loses all its speed.

I really enjoy this game and love it also the controls are easy to use I’m playing it with a MIFI controller but if possible could you plz add like controller settings to change the controls how I want it and to be able to move the camera around when racing also if you could add controller support on almost everything that way I don’t have to keep touching the screen and then back to a race with the controller I play this game on my iPhone X and hook it up to my tv and if you could add more cosmetic to cars more options there’s not that many and maybe have a little option to play your own music in game I know you can play it and still play the game but you can barely hear the cars or the menu sounds and idk if the game is iPhone X supported but when I go to the shop I can’t see the left side of the menu where you buy more lockers or parking spaces the camera is blocking it but other than that I REALLY LOVE THE GAME I’m giving it a 5 star if I could give 100 star I would thank you for reading this :)

by MrMercedesBenzFan's Pal

I really like this game, however there is one complaint I have that really bothers me and prevents me from fully enjoying it. My complaint is that this game consumes way too much battery even when the power saving mode option is on. An example of this is when I fully charged the battery up to 100% on the device and I play this game for about 10 to 20 minutes, after that, the battery went from 100% down to 90% or 85%!!! I use iPhone 6S plus to play this game. So can you address this issue later in the future? I'll give you my thanks if you reply! Peace!

Gear Club: True Racing is a Great game to say the least, Everything about it is quite good, BUT there are some suggestions that "might" make the game better. The cars are fantastic and I love them, but there isn't a lot of variety of cars. Real Racing 3 is a good game, but the reason it might be better at Gear Club is the many, Many cars and companies the game has. Adding some Lamborghinis or Ferraris, and maybe that Koenigsegg One:1. Another Suggestion I have is that Every Single Car in that Tier is balanced. Sure the Bugatti is fast but it has to be balanced enough. Other than that, Gear Club: True Racing will always be with me and if my Suggestions actually become real, That will make me very Happy. Thank you if you read this.

Update: Could you guys pleaser add more packs/bundles to purchase? I remember when there would be car packs with gold and rewinds. I bought all the ones you’ve recently had. I need a D1 lol. Would pay real money for it

Been playing this game since it came out and while I did take a break for over a year, I come back and it still exceeds my expectations. I play all of the top 3 racing games (popular ones) and this should be up there with the rest of them if not #1 it’s self. This game is way ahead of all the other racing platforms in my opinion. The garage aspect and being able to upgrade the mechanics is awesome and I haven’t seen that in any other game yet. You can easily succeed by grinding and enjoying the game. However, even if you did decide to make a purchase to enhance your gaming experience you’ll be surprised to find the p2p content extremely affordable and rewarding. Hands down number one racing game in my opinion!
