I downloaded this game in 2010 when I was 5 years old... this brought back so much memories and I’m crying right now wishing I could go back.

💩 terrible app 💩
Buy this app if you want to throw your device out the window.

Ah, memories.
I remember when I would play this in Kindergarten. Very fun game, would recommend this for 3-7 year olds. Great game for little ones!
2019-05-11
OK
The game needs A LOT of WORK Blah
2017-11-04
Thanks for the update!
My grandson loves this app, and I was holding off updating because this hadn't been supported, so thank you from him and from me.

Facebook integration
Hello, I am using your app in our dealership/kids area. We are wondering if you are possibly thinking about integrating Facebook posting with your app.
2015-03-09
Unintuitive interface
This app is listed in the "5 & under" section of kids apps, but the instructions are entirely text based. How are kids who can't read supposed to figure out how to use the app? Apple shouldn't allow this app to be marketed for preschool-aged kids until the interface requires less reading, and is more tutorial based.
2015-01-13
Best game ever but needs improvements
I wish you could choose how fast you want your car to be,and give us the ability to design your car. If these are possibly added i,ll give you a big fat 5 star rate.
2014-12-29
It ain't bad
It don't have any flaws
2014-06-18
A little but more but still 5 stars
Just wish you can choose your location and a 3rd page of cars

20 part limit is frustrating.
My child loves this game at school, but the 20 part limit in the app has him very frustrated.
Whats the point of limiting the number of parts he can use?
2014-02-14
Best
I'm 7 and found this game from my school when we had computer class and it was so fun I had to buy it.
2013-12-05

A must have for kids 3-5!
A great way for kids to get creative.

Family Favourite
We've had this since the iPad was launched, and my son, then not even two, because very adept at creating and storing his inventions. I quite like the limit on the number of parts available, otherwise younger kids would simply fill the page with stuff and you'd never see the chassis! Newer version a considerable improvement, but still some crashing issues from time to time ... the app, not the cars ;)
2013-07-26
Great app for kids
My 4 year old is entertained for long stretches of time!
2013-07-07
Good App
It is amazing!
2013-05-22
Super!
This is a super game!! You should add a monster truck body
2013-03-30
Sh,t
The worst thing I could buy for 1$
2013-03-28
Create a car
The car body's and car parts are really cool plus you can any part on any car body and any car you want and make it look the way you want it to look
2013-02-22
Two year old loves it
My two year and a half year old loves it on iPad and can do it all by himself, but he is really smart and persistent. Age without any help is probably four or five for most.

Reviews appear to be fake
Was duped into buying this game by the high reviews and description that says its easy for kids. The UI for this game is hard even for adults and not suitable for little kids. There is a ton of tiny unreadable instructions and nothing intuitive. I don't believe the description that says apple employees recommend. My kids were excited to try but quickly got frustrated.

Great app!
I am an educator and use Create a Car with students who are preschool to 5th grade. It is so well designed, with well thought out features and play levels. The students LOVE it!! Imagine their excitement when they discover they can drive the car they just designed! They are also motivated to see who can reach the most miles on the obstacle course. It's fun to see them scramble to problem-solve for revisions to designs that will help them win more miles. Would love the option to have more saved player slots. Thank you!!

2012-06-28
I love this game
I love this game beacause I love cars and I like to make stuff it gives me something to do.
2012-05-29
But...
I think it's a great and fun game for young children, older children or girl or boy. I suggest having a few more options when creating a car therefore playing the game more often and also have a text box to put on the car/vehicle for kids to use even more of their imagination then they already are. Whoever is and had created this game thank you and I think you have created a great application for kids/children and I advise you to make more applications!

We love this "game"
Our 4 1/2 year old loves this game! Cute, even for adults. The title of the app is exactly what it is. Cool that you can make parts smaller/bigger, flip them, and turn the ignition on to see all the moving parts after creating. Pretty sure there isn't annoying music playing while the cars are being created, either...a big plus. Great!
2012-04-13
Waste of money
This game is boring, unchallenging & meaningless. My 4 year old loves cars and I thought it would at least be fun. It's not. This app needs to go back to the drawing board. How about teaching kids something about vehicle parts rather than the annoying cheap cruise ship music in the background. It would be nice if the child could move the cars they built. Perhaps around a race track. Maybe integrate letter identification into the race track. Thanks for the opportunity to give my feedback.
2012-04-10
Well...
If I were to help design the app, I'd put more parts. Yes, there's lots, but it just needs more. Other than that, it's a really awesome app!!
U ;) perfecto!
By the way, I'm in 3rd grade. Ö
2012-02-07
Super!
This is a really creative, fun game, even for adults. You can make all sorts of wacky cars, lots of acccessories to choose from, and everything it fully editable.
Only one suggestion for improvement: the only thing I couldn't edit was the name of the garage - I goofed when I first started and since then have to suffer with a lame garage name while my kids all have cool ones.
2012-01-12
Awesome
My son who is 5, loves this game, so many different ways and free parts to make all sort of cars, semi trucks, tractors ect. He loves hot pipes and he can turn the key and see it all move and smoke come out the pipes. Just wish he could test drive it too.
2012-01-10
Not at all what I expected.
This game is boring and lacks any of the things I thought a game like this might have. There is no music or sound when playing. When creating your car and adding parts it only allows 20 before you have to either start over or take some off. I thought maybe after completing your masterpiece the car would move or make some cool sounds and it doesn't. There is nothing fantastic about this game.
2011-11-24
Ok
Create a car is ok but I want more options of cars other than that it is great. If the creators of this game read this listen I am a developer and I would like to put this as one of the best app of all the apps there is soooo if u read this just plz add sum more cars thx
2011-11-13
Design cars
This item caught my eye because you can build your on fun car I am 60 yrs of age an I have just as much fun as my 2 grandsons ages 4 an 6 yrs old. Thank you for this great app.
2011-10-25
Terrific app
I have many apps on my iphone for my grandkids. Most are "used up" fast. Some children's apps sound great when you first buy them but they end up being a disappointment. Unfortunately many become repetitive quickly,or they just aren't creative. Our family found this one a great find. The kids play it over and over, always coming up with more designs and ideas to put together their automotive masterpieces. . The trick of starting up the engine and watching the moving parts do their thing is the final thrill.
2011-08-05
Parent
Great app. My son and I fill our garages with all sorts of modified cars and trucks. To see who is the most creative. If I could add a comment would be if you could update the main screen by adding a delete button. To delete unwanted players. Thanks. Great app.
2011-07-22
The kids love it...
My kids love this game, but I wish it was better, more educational. I remember having an old computer game where I could create cars, afterwards I could out them in an air tunnel and learn about aerodynamics. And after that I could race them. I didn't get to drive or anything, but the computer out it on s race course and told me how it did. I would love to see those features added, better yet, let the kids choose a course based on the kind o car they made and let them race it through the course.
2011-07-10
Fun but could be better
Although this app is creative on the car building side, it would be wayyyyyy better if you could use the car once you've built it. Different backgrounds, different speeds, racing the cars you've built against each other, movement capability beyond just starting it and seeing how it runs, take it to the next level!
2011-06-17
App Missing a Game...
My kids and I really enjoy the other apps by this company, but this one seems to be a build a car module in need of a game added on to it. Their other games, such as Rocket Math, are much deeper and more robust, with a lot of educational value. This may be good for very young kids, but mine (ages 7 and 9) disengaged and went back to Rocket Math pretty quickly. My son's question: "You can't drive the car you make?"
2011-06-11
Very cool!
Keeps my 5 year old entertained for hours. Very user friendly and love that you can start the cars and watch all the parts in action!
2011-05-19
Fun!
My 5-year-old has a lot of fun with this app. He and his friend try to outdo one another with their creativity. Lot's of opportunity for creative thinking!
2011-04-29
Create a car
Grandson age 4 1/2 years, really enjoys naming players and building the cars. It would be nice to see even more car styles to build.
2011-04-23
Creative outlet!
We love this program for our 4- year old son! He is a car/monster-truck fanatic and this creative game is right up his alley! He keeps very busy with this, creating all types of designs. He enjoys turning on the "ignition" after designing a new car. Very cool app!
2011-04-01
Needs more cars and accessories
This game should be free. All options and features are very limited and basic. All of my free games are much better and can play much longer. It took an average of 2 mins or less to build or use most limited options. You should not charge people and be cheap about it, especially for kids. So, either make it free to build up your customer base and reputation or give it out for free due to basic and low-end development.
2010-12-10
worth it! son loves it!
Son Loves it, could use more options for designing the cars, like change the car colors and the background, but otherwise worth the buck i paid for it!!
2010-12-06
It's a great application for my KIDS
This application is great for my kids
My kids feel so happy when he using this tool.
Need more various CAR models
2010-11-23
Think like adult, design like a kid.
I put the app on my phone for the kids, but I have the most fun. It looks like a (really good) kid's drawing, but there's plenty of room for an adult's seasoned imagination. I hold back on the fifth star because of some of the basic-ness of the tools, and also my own fingertip can get in the way of seeing the car-part I'm trying to move around. Otherwise, fun for the whole family!
2010-11-19
Create A Car is great!!!!!
My grandchildren, ages 4 and 7, spend hours creating cars. They were so excited with the new additions.
Thanks so much for this great site.
2010-11-16
Fun for all ages
My kids & I love the Create a car app. I like that the kids have separate garages to store their creations. A password or locking function for the garages would be helpful in keeping sibling peace. Love the positioning, the number of car bodies & sizing tools. How about adding coloring, fenders, window shapes & other customizing tools in the upgrade?
2010-11-13
FUN - easy to use
Fun and easy to use
Nice that it allows for acing your cars unde you name and that multi users can be labeled for their own car
Would like to more options of items available
2010-09-17
Very creative!!!!!!!!!!
This is GREAT on the iPad. My daughter has a blast dragging the parts onto a car. She was thrilled to discover that she could turn the car on in the garage!
2010-09-17
I just don't get this app
bought it yesterday for my 3 year old son who is mad about cars etc. i played with it before showing him and just do not understand the appeal. my son was also blah about it. i thought it made cars with lots of areas to interact with for a child. it does not know what it is, too weird for a child and well, too weird for me, an adult.
