One 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, its 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 youve got it right. If your favourite cars 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 cars missing, theres 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!

Pros and cons of The Cool Wall app for iPhone and iPad

The Cool Wall app good for

Nice to have for TopGear fans, minor flaws though. Volume should be adjustable. Anyway, I like it!

Good but needs more features like other games like the ones on the website

Hey for the 1970 formula 1 car y is it a picture of a peugeot

Now that there are pictures, I love this app. Its a must-have for any die-hard Top Gear fan.

great but there is a limit of cars per slot which i dont like. Please make an update that does not Limit the cars per slot.

But definitely needs better quality photos of the cars... And to all the clots that have complaints about how accurate Clarksons cool predictions are, have never actually seen them do The Cool Wall... Dont complain about the cool accuracy, its everyones own opinion

Some bad moments

Bugs and crashes around every corner, wouldnt use it if it would be free, sorry.

Jeremy as a really better app for the same price ... Top gear should put more effort in the app. Its not a Top Gear experience. From a Top Gear Fan.

First off, dont get me wrong, I love the show. Love it. Its just incredibly hard to transplant the high production values, excitement, and comical banter the show has into a stripped down app like this. End result - this is one of the dullest apps I have ever used on my iPhone. Sorry Top Gear. Some ideas; Make it sexy/er: • could there be more photos? videos? - They wouldnt have to be embedded, they could simply be links to content on the TG site. • could we view clips of the guys actually arguing over statuses of (some of) these cars? • could we link to a larger database of cars? - Id love to drop the Ferrari 458 onto my cool wall without searching though Google images for it, or trying to find one to take a photo of. • more content, even if its simply in the form of more car info. Make it social: • could The Cool Wall be socially driven? - I could compare/post my Cool Wall with friends on Facebook • could there be social Cool Wall car rankings? - "This car is voted by 80% of fans as "Cool", "This is the coolest car on the wall at 95%." • could users comments about the cars also make it to the wall ?

Hey, Im having a big problem with this app freezing so Im wondering if anyone else is having this problem. I really want this app to work but so far I only got to use it once since it was upgraded. Thx

Sorry Jeremy but this app is not cool. Stats are wrong. Apparently the Mini Cooper is cool but only has a top speed of 7. Glaring errors. Stats that dont match the actual cars. Poor attention to detail. Its like you really dont care.

On the show it said the Bugatti veyron was the greatest car ever-built and would be the greatest car built in our lifetime But this says its "not cool"
