Report an issueOne of the official Top Gear apps, the Cool Wall has been one of Apple’s 'New and Noteworthy' apps. Other Top Gear apps include the Who is the Stig app, the Top Gear Stunt School and Where’s Stig. We’ve also launched the Cool Wall app for the iPad.
And now, it's time for the Cool Wall App...
We listened to your feedback, on Facebook, twitter and in the app store, and since you all wanted you own personal Cool Wall and a lot of cars to put on there, we updated the app for you. Now you can create your own Cool Walls, as well rearrange the show Cool Wall itself.
Using over 350 cars, you can place the cars where you think they should be on the Cool Wall and find out in an audio sound bite if the presenters think you've got it right. If your favourite car's missing, you can even add it into the mix. Just take a photo, input the name and stats and place it on your wall. All the images of the cars are complete with stats.
Be warned though, the car stats are highly suitable as slightly dodgy pub facts, but use sparingly when you need to win an argument. Where there was more than one model, we simply picked our favourite. For the most accurate stats, the car reviews section of www.topgear.com/uk/car-reviews is still the place to go.
What’s new in the two latest versions: - Original 350 from first version added back in, as requested. - Personal Cool Wall added with drag and drop feature - If your favourite car's missing, there's the ability to add it in. - Ability to load the full wall from the show to place the cars where you think they should be - Quiz aspect is replaced by audio/graphic from the presenters telling you where it should be whether you agree or not! -----------------------------------

8 of 25I love this TV Show, this app is a great idea. This app is OK, but there is one major fault. In the iPhone 4 the icon and the pictures of the cars are really ugly, because retina display support for those does not exist. In the iPad, the icon and the pictures are all great !! Please update this for iPhone too. Then I will give 5 stars.
Great app, but I need the pages to go on forever, I don't have enough room for all of my ratings. I do think that maybe engine size, power to weight, top gear track time, etc, should be added. PS Top Gear needs to review a saleen s7, and the new ssc (when possible) A new good app would be the board of lap times (Whenever there is a new lap time just update it) and when you click on the time, it shows a video of the lap. Thank You!
It crashes a lot gets really annoying
It is a lit of fun to play with.
Absolutely beautiful. I still don't have enough space for me to put all of the cars on the wall... But even still... A great app.
I love this app! :) top gear is the most amazing show ever and it just can't be beat! It has the best film crew and screen shots, the best cars, the best comedy, and most importantly James, Jeremy, and Richard! My favorite part about the app is the quotes from the episodes! And I just love where the speed and 0-60 times are switched haha great app, hours of fun :)
Needs maybe the Camaro and definitely the mustangs that were tested, also (maybe its just me,) but higher quality pictures, they're kinda low res
I like the fact you can add in your own cars, but the walls aren't long enough. I rate a lot of cars, and frankly I won't have enough room for them all. I wish that they would automatically expand themseves whenever you come close to filling them up. That would be a great improvement for the next version.
