Tested on 418 apps with verified revenue: typically off by about 2.6 times, so the range is wide. Countries we don't track (and Google Play in China, which doesn't exist) aren't included, and neither are ads or web payments. Gross revenue before store fees.

★★★★★ I have GTA+ subscription as well… pretty annoyed I have to emulate the og PSP version when I have a more visually appealing port on my phone that won't work.
★★★★★ The handbrake on this game doesn't work like I can't drift or slide into corners so for now I will refund the game and buy it again hopefully if it ever gets fixed!
★★★★★ I'm playing on my iPad by the way like is there something that could be done to stop the truck from getting caught at one of the buildings I'll probably try this mission at least 20+ times at this rate I might as well…

★★★★★ The handbrake on this game doesn't work like I can't drift or slide into corners so for now I will refund the game and buy it again hopefully if it ever gets fixed!
★★★★★ There's an early mission that requires molotovs and there's a glitch that won't allow it to be selected so I can't move past this mission or play the game
★★★★★ I was enjoying playing a game until I got to the mission steal the show. The truck keeps getting caught at a building. You can't aim to throw the crate so it's already dimmer impossible to beat the mission. I purchased…

★★★★★ Have not played the game yet when I promptly force closed the app.
★★★★★ Continuously crashes on my iPad Pro, I have the entire rockstar app bundle don't waste your money with this one GTA 3 if you have a old device sanandreas if you have something new, whatever the price is for this now…
★★★★★ It keeps crashing on my phone!

★★★★★ Well tough if you go more then 4 minutes without saving you're gonna lose all your progress.
★★★★★ Deleted and re-downloaded several times, still no sound.
No customer support5%

8 of the 1 and 2 star reviews.

★★★★★ If I knew you would have never fixed this since controller support came out I would have never bought this game.
★★★★★ Please add cloud saves and fix controller support
★★★★★ Update controller support.
Limits, credits, locked features3%

5 of the 1 and 2 star reviews.

★★★★★ Just like Liberty City Stories, you have to pay to play the game but it is never mentioned, and it's free to download, what's the point of making something free to download if you have to pay to play it anyways?
★★★★★ Please add an option to unlock at least 60 fps. Otherwise, it's a great port, and I enjoy it a lot. I'm giving one star just because of the framerate lock issue.
★★★★★ 5 minutes in and I'm watching some intro, with crew credits.

★★★★★ Incredibly fun and easy to learn with opportunities for skillful tricks saving tons of time.
★★★★★ Chinatown wars is relatively lightweight and simple comparing with the main entries in the franchise, without advanced graphics, gameplay and animations.
★★★★★ In my strong opinion, this has to be one of the best grand theft auto games the innovation that they had in this game was so ahead of its time not only did they go back to the original roots of the above Skyview play…
Worth the money2%

I love this game

I love this game and in English best nostalgia game ever.

★★★★★Sep 17, 2026
time to update

please update for iphone 17 and support full controller

★★★★★Sep 8, 2026
I would love to play the game..

I’m aware this is more so tailored towards the Rockstar servers & whatnot.. but I cannot sign in to play whatsoever. I was able to play the one & only time after downloading. Since then.. it will it sign in to my rockstar account. I have GTA+ subscription as well… pretty annoyed I have to emulate the og PSP version when I have a more visually appealing port on my phone that won’t work.

★★★★★Sep 6, 2026
Wonderful Game, but due for another enhancement.

One of the best GTA entries ever, made specifically for mobile/portable applications, only wish is they give this game a graphical enhancement, all the newer iOS devices (2020+) could handle the visual experience that the PSP version has with ease, all this game would need is extra lighting and shadow effects to be considered a 5 star game.

★★★★★Jul 24, 2026
Best mobile game ever

This is simply the best mobile game I have ever played. It’s more than that. It’s a real, full game with compelling characters and storytelling, a great setting, and intricate mechanics. 10/10.
