...you must have broken kids, are they still covered by warranty?
Surprisingly enough different children like different things. They aren't all one homogenous body.
im sorry but my little kids would rather walk up a hill in the rain or go kAyaking
ahh well buying 2 for birthdays worth a punt
Kids would rather play Mario
maybe ill have to have a look
cinema i choose
bowling i choose
walking up a hill they choose
even the grumpy 2 teenagers
please elaborate as interested in your comments (no sarcasm)
i thought they’d boys would love this driving round like mario but in real life
You're raising them right. Hope they enjoy it
The OP is an “expert” so is fully aware, this site is now a combination of mumsnet and metacritic
I'm disappointed they have gone bust but the app has been updated a lot since launch and is pretty good now. In terms of connecting phones and tablets check their compatibility list - the higher end the device you have the more chance you have of it working perfectly.
My youngest has it working on a Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 and it can have trouble hosting matches but does work eventually where as if I play on my Note 8 or ipad it works a lot better.
I'm tempted to buy this just for the extra track to add to the existing setup.
At £39.99 it's a great toy! (edited)
Nope once downloaded it's there on your device and remains in your library in the app store. This doesn't require any web access to play and isn't connected to online servers so once you have it installed on your devices it's there to stay. The app just won't get any updates going forward. (edited)
Yes you can. I have the starter kit and also the Fast and Furious set and they work fine together. You can also buy the jump and crossover separately. Good fun but have trouble each time linking to devices.
Is the starter kit sufficient to play only buying for a 5 yr old. Do you think the track will be big enough. Sorry and a 65 yr old
You would be best not going with any Anki products - they have closed down. In a year you won’t be able to download the apps from the stores anymore as it costs money to keep a developer account and with the company not existing then you effectively have a dead brick on your hands and the apps will disappear
Response from Anki customer service:
"I'm really happy to tell you that you can combine two Starter Kits together.
You can race with the same kind of Super car at the same time either in Open Play mode or Tournament. The cars will have different colors Led lights to identify each player. This color will match the hexagonal mark on the app when the cars are chosen at the begging of the match.
You can also use several Starter Kits to extend the track as you please. When you do so, you can only use one Start/Finish track piece. By doing this you add extra fun to the game and allow extra possibilities in the track construction lay out.
All the Starter Kits come with the same cars (SKULL and GROUNDSHOCK). You can always purchase extra cars if you wish."
thank you
And they are contradictory.....when they get to teenagers, they all want to be individuals, but all want to fit in.
It’s all the other kids that are broken by society
Totally if you get the need for speed starter kit you get a total of 4 different cars.such a shame this is over
Can't you just rip the app using APK extractor and save them?
I'm going to get this to play with my son. I'm sure I saw this on apple's keynote. It looked cool but I forgot all about it.
Actually Jibo was another companies product but the rest is spot on
I would think so although the jump kit adds an extra dimension.... Hopefully the f and f kit will come down too as that offers a lot more track variations. There won't be much variation with the starter kit.
Absolutely. You can buy add on sets but to be honest buying 2 of these is a better and cheaper option to make a really big track. (edited)
Thanks. I've ordered two sets and I'll keep my eye out for a good deal on the jump set (they're still a bit pricey at the moment).
Sorry fast and furious

Best thing to do though is check if the app appears for you in the app store on your device.
