OverDrive 2.6 9+

This currently does not support the Fast and Furious cars which for us that have both standard and F&F starter kits annoying as we can only use 2 of the 4 cars we own. So need cannot play multi-player against campaign.

Not this is an issue as for some reason cannot play multi player as it states we need to turn WiFi on to connect. It is on but not picking it up as it works perfectly on the other Anki apps. Devices are Apple so maybe a stability fix.

So overall ok but needs stability and all cars in it before it becomes a replacement for the other interfaces.

The money purchase is ok to encourage dev to continue but this now needs to be stabiles before any more investment

I was a bit apprehensive about buying the starter kit for my boy’s birthday in light of the failure of Anki/change in ownership and some of the negative reviews here. But the starter kit was selling for so little and some digging in Reddit indicated many happy continuing users, so I thought I would take a punt. I’m very glad I did. I had to change the batteries in the cars as they had died in storage - no big deal as I was expecting that and it is a relatively straightforward process. The app works fine with the Overdrive hardware on all our devices (iPads of various ages) and is well worth the money. Only paid once and was able to download to multiple devices via Family Sharing. I think it is a very reasonable price to pay for continued support of this excellent game. Much better than the hardware becoming obsolete. My kids love using it and I will now buy more track. Thanks to DDL for making this possible.

Ps, in two player mode, when trying to join a game, the ‘guest’ device says “not connected , check WiFi” (or words to that effect) when WiFi is on and working. But, on the host device the guest is discoverable and CAN be added to the game for two player fun!

Brief explanation why this app exists.
Anki went bust several years ago the rights have been brought by Digital Dream Labs who resurrected the Anki user forums. Many Anki owners myself included preferred version 2.6 to the current latest release by Anki they removed functionality just before they went the way of the dodo leaving customers unhappy with no recourse. Digital Dream Labs have listened to us as customers and brought back version 2.6 which they have updated assets etc to work on newer phones. It’s a work in progress but a massive step in the right direction. The reason it’s a paid for app is because they didn’t sell the hardware to us they aren’t Anki but a new owner and developers cost money, they are just covering the costs of modifying the app. They have listened to our feedback and responded well. Development takes time we have been patient only a couple of months and here we have what we asked for they will be continuing to develop and evolve the app and they have plans and most importantly they are listening to customers and what we want a rare thing with most company’s and one to be grateful for.
