Nice, downloaded it just now, thanks OP
Ah yep it's a new version, the original Crazy Taxi is gone (I was using the Shield Store).
So yeah, it's supposed to be a promotion for a new Crazy Taxi coming out later this year. "Crazy Taxi: City Rush" will be F2P with IAPs and on iOS. Here's a Preview.

I love it. It's had a steady place on my iphone for months and is surprisingly easy to control with the touch controls.

on rails?
I disagree. The game is surprisingly playable with touch controls. A controller / arcade wheel is still a million times better, but I've had quite a bit of fun playing it on the subway.

I sucked at this with a controller, I can't imagine it's worth the download for a touch input version.

Thanks for the heads-up, I grabbed this! 
Just a quick question, is it compatible with this MiiFi? (was it called like this? o.o) Controller API of iOS 7?

The sad thing is the f2p crazy taxi on rails will probably play better then the original on ios

The Android version is compatible with controllers, is the ios one not?
Downloaded on a nexus 4. Played with touchscreen and with a moga pro. Runs at 30 fps with drops. Has the original uncut versions of the songs, so it's not exactly the same as the Dreamcast version. As a side effect of that, the game rarely starts out with that one Offspring song.
Touchscreen controls are ass. The game auto accelerates the car while in drive and breaking is handled while in reverse. This makes hard stopping and boosting pretty hard to control effectively.
Gamepad controls with the moga pro are butt. The layout mimics the Dreamcast version but have a flaw: gas and brake are mapped to the bumpers with no way to change them to the triggers. That means no analog braking or acceleration. Feels like steering is digital as well. The timing for crazy boosting is seemingly off and inconsistent as well. Even with those problems, playing with a controller is a billion times better than with just the touchscreen.
It's cool that they gave the game away for free and it's definitely Crazy Taxi. I'm still somewhat disappointed that it was so close to being a perfect port. As it is, it's serviceable.

Thanks for the heads up. Seems exactly like the Dreamcast port.
It says "Includes Original Offspring Soundtrack", yet I didn't hear the "YA YA YA YA YAAAA"
It's in there.

Its reasonably well on iPad 2. Performance seems to be the same as on DC, 60fps and same slowdown here and there.
Its just the controls, its too hard to do drifts all the time. So its sort of worthless to really sit down for.

That's encouraging then.
Only got the "Them and us" song when I played.

Android users: this version is absolutely a train wreck on snapdragon s4/600.
30fps, constant drops, frameskips.
But without much surprise, crazy taxi 1 and 2 works perfectly fine (60fps) when emulated with Reicast.
