## Description

Roller Coaster Simulator is a VR simulation app for iOS that lets you build and ride roller coasters. It currently offers seven coasters to ride, and you can craft new tracks using your device's gyroscope to shape tracks and cars.

Switch between normal view and stereographic 3D to enjoy immersive VR, either with the screen alone or with a VR headset. Move your phone to look around as you ride. This app showcases iOS VR capabilities, with more updates coming soon.

## Review summary

Overall, reviewers like the core idea: build and ride your own coasters, with solid graphics and a fun, creative experience. Updates are praised for improving fluidity, and many users enjoy sharing videos of their rides. However, several common issues recur: frequent glitches, crashes, or instability; not-realistic physics and a mismatch with the videos; movement/ride problems where coasters won’t move or behave oddly; occasional visual artifacts and scenery problems. Some request online play and more features. The app shows strong potential but is hampered by bugs and realism concerns.

### Pros

- Build and customize your own roller coasters and ride them.
- Graphics are immersive and appealing.
- Fun to play and good for killing time; creative aspects.
- Updates have improved fluidity and added control features (e.g., finger-based building).

### Cons

- Frequent glitches, crashes, and instability (glitching coasters, spinning visuals, screen shaking).
- Unrealistic physics / not faithful to real roller coasters (not realistic; video looks better).
- Movement/ride functionality issues (coasters won’t move or behave oddly; rides reset).
- Occasional visual artifacts or scenery problems (grass at end, scenery quality).
