International Athletics - Special Offer app for iPhone and iPad

This is amazing!
Wow this game is so realistic! This is so much and is one of the best iPhone games! The controls make it seem so real and it makes it fun. It is hard at first but once you play it for a while you get the hang of it. Amazing game buy!!

This App Needs Work
I am lowering my rating because it is clear the developers have no intention of updating. I have been looking at this for a while, but the 10 dollars it was set at was way too high. As soon as this was lowered to 5.99 I had to buy it. Overall it is a satisfying purchase but there are much needed changes. 1. The control scheme on this game does not work well. For example when you do 100m sprint, you swipe your finger back and forth across the ipod. There are many times where I will be doing this and it will stop reading my finger. Also, when you get to the finish you are supposed to swipe your finger down to lean forward, I have not gotten this to work once. Not only does it not work, but it is awkward to go from a fast back and forth motion to a downwards swipe. It may take practice, but the developers should develop some better controls. 2. This game would greatly benefit by a practice mode, where you do not compete against anybody, and you can go as long as you want. Many of the events take a long time to figure out so a practice mode would be nice. 3. It does not have any swimming events. 4. On the 1500m run there is a stamina bar, it works very well and I love the event, but it should be switched off for the sprint at the end of the race. I would think switching it off at about 200 would work well. 5. I am a polevaulter, so a good polevaulting event is a must for me, I would have to say I like the start of the event. You swipe your finger back and forth for about 3/4 of the runthrough. Then you tap as an arrow moves towards the center of a curved bar. This plants the pole. This is easy enough but the release is impossible and I still havent figured it out. I think the running should stop earlier to get you more time to press the arrow. Also in polevaulting you have three tries per height then you move up, in the game it gives you three tries total. So you have to start ad high as you can and hope you can clear it. This really needs to be changed. 6. It needs relays!!! 7. Hurtles=Terrible!!! You swipe your finger to run then tap your finger to jump. Good luck with that, I dont know if the developers got lazy and forgot to put a jumping ability in there or what. Actually now with a couple of tries I have cleared some hurtles, but it is very hard. They need to do a better job of telling you when to jump. 8. Javelin, the developers really need to clean this up. There is an angle meter that increases automatically, and you swipe to lower it to keep it in the middle. The problem is the act of running keeps it all the way down more than half the time. These and more flaws make the game more annoying than fun. 9. There are some glitches, like when I beat the world record on the 1500m but still took 3rd it credited me with a world record. For the good part, there are many events, it could use more but it has enough to keep the user interested. The graphics are also very good, probably the best of any app I have. It has a customizable character, although this is very limited. Overall I would say this is worth about 2.99 unless there are some major updates. If youre looking for a better deal get Playman Track & Field for 99 cents. The graphics are worse, and it has few events. But it has a very fun gameplay, and is very addicting.
