    Not Good at All

    • Written by from Lake Oswego

    One car of the two in the box we purchased doesn't work at all. Ever.

    That's a great start.

    And our child was being constantly pestered by the app (which we already paid over $20 for) constant requests to buy more content in-app.

    That was a great finish.

    If you really want one of these, please buy mine.

    I bought just the lightning McQueen one for the kids I baby sit to try it out, they loved it! I actually ended up buying another set of them becuase it was so fun to watch their faces light up!!!! I would recommend having a screen protector becuase there is metal on them and kids tend to push slightly harder then adults ;)

    My 3 year old figured out how to use these awesome toys. The cars app is free an can be used without these accessories, but using the car on the iPad makes the game much better.

    Initially the iPad was having a hard time recognizing any of the toys.

    Then the problem disappeared after I keep touching the iPad2 back cover with the other hand while playing. (Obviously I don't know why.. somehow it works)

    Worthless if you have a screen protector!

    I bought these as gifts for 2 little boys. The one without a screen protector got his to work. Unfortunately, we tried iPads with 2 different brands of screen protectors and cannot get the car to work at all! Save your money!

    Toys did not work for me

    The App is fantastic but the appmate toys (I had mcmissile and mater) just did not maintain connectivity with the game. Mcmissile was impossible to use even for me (let alone my 3yr old). Such a shame as he loves the app.

    Cars scratched my iPad!!!!

    They work very well, and the kid love them. But with minimal use, they have already scratched my iPad!

    Warning for everyone - DO NOT USE WITHOUT A SCREEN PROTECTOR.

    Nice software - shame about the hardware

    We bought this for our 9yr old son for Christmas. The iPad frequently "loses" the connection to the toy car. This is so bad it is impossible to win any races because the car keeps stopping. Our son gets extremely frustrated and we wish we hadn't wasted our money. Very sad for something with both the Disney and Apple brands on it.

    My young boys love it

    We have lightning McQueen and it appears to work well.
    Only negative comment would be that ap should disable iOS5 4 Finger multi tasking ap changing. The car marks three contacts with screen and if you are also using one of the other on screen buttons it is easy to switch applications.

    Otherwise a good idea that my 3 and 6 year old sons enjoy. Hope they make a bigger map in the future...

    Hours of fun

    My 6 year old son spends hours driving the cars without any trouble. It works better on our iPad 2 than iPad. The reason the car is not recognised is due to a bad connection between your fingers and the car, maybe dry hands. Basically a well designed little toy - even the car headlights work.

    App mates works well but only when it works

    Great fun and very entertaining. However, the iPad often does not recognize the toy. One of my two toys from the pack has still not been recognized by the game.

    It needs to be much more reliable in actual use. At the moment I spend most of the playing time trying to get the toy talking to the app which is very frustrating. Feels like its still in beta.
