    You'll get it chap but it's going to take time to write. In the meantime - everyone should grab the game again for free. Midnight on Sunday night - it's back to paid.

    Well even this premium version has IAP although the description clearly says that there are NO IAP.

    It doesn't. The Android version doesn't have any listings for IAPs and I seriously doubt this would be any different. Probably just leftover traces from the previous version. i dunno lol

    The Spanish description of the game says that the game doesn't have ads but has completely optional IAP. But it could be just a bad translation since they translated free into "libre" (freedom) instead of "gratis" (without cost).

    o_O Que?

    EDIT: Huh? The Android version does show the game has IAPs. Mind telling us what they are?

    EDIT 2: Looks like you can buy currency with real money.

    I'm not the one complaining about apps going free or something like that. To be honest I don't like the fact that they release a seperate 'premium' app of a game that was already premium.
    But to see that this new 'premium' version still has IAP although the description says it has no IAP is ... I don't have any words for this.

    I think it's just a bad choice of words. :/ The game has no ads, but has optional IAPs.

    I switched to my NZ account and it says 'optional iAP'.
    But they should change the words in the german description.

    I would like to thank the developer for making the new version temporarily free.

    I do have respect for any dev that thinks that way. However, you guys are in a tough bind. I hope everything will work out for you and the people who previously bought the game.

    Guys - we have found a problem with the current build - for some reason the saved game is broken. I'm probably going to take it down off the store until fixed. Need to make sure it's not being featured anywhere. It will be coming back hopefully next week and we will be looking to let you get it for free again, or you can get it now and just wait for the update. Up to you.

    Sorry about this. It passed all our internal tests....something has gone awry.

    Nick

    {Update - it's not featured anywhere so Apple recommended we take it off the store and fix it next week}
    We'll be back shortly.

    It's definitely not fair. I still don't think the outrage fits the crime, and that's the point many people are making.

    I don't mind - we can take it. We just wanna make sure you guys are put right though.

    Touch Arcade,

    We have withdrawn it temporarily from the store because there was a problem with the saved game. It's fixed and now back in review with Apple. Will be available some time next week pending some thorough testing and resubmission. Apologies for the false start, anyone who got it with the bug in it, hang in there, there's an update in the pipeline now.

    Apologies from all the team.

    Nick

    A combination of people getting way too mad and reading Nick's posts has put me firmly on Playrise's side now. I would gladly pay $10+ to "re-buy" TTR at this point. My faith has been restored, and I can't wait to see what they do next. Other devs, this is how you handle an unfortunate situation.

    My only disappointment at this point is that the new version doesn't have iCloud syncing, but whatev. I'll live.

    High praise indeed but it will be $2.99. So you needn't worry and we will try and do a 24 free promo just because we feel bad for early adopters. You have to also remember - it launched with only 10 cars, 18 special events, no drift mode, unfair multiplayer, no support for MFI controllers and number of other things, so we still feel that $2.99 us not much for A LOT of game :) plus you get to win all the achievements again ;) We'll be back later in the week. The bug was fixed last night but there's nothing Apple can do about it over the weekend. Keep the faith guys - we'll set things straight.
