Leave a Review The Trail
Marriage update please
When I started playing this game, I enjoyed exploring the scenery, trading, and settling down in a new town to start a small business of my own. I also enjoyed writing the letters to my “family”. But on the character’s goal list was to find a partner and get married. I’ve been waiting for a long time for that, and I am disappointed that after all these years, you actually haven’t placed a marriage feature in your updates. You should do something about those goals. If you wrote those down as goals, they should be fulfilled eventually. If you at least add the marriage feature, then this game would be a lot more fun. And even when raising a family, you can still hike the trails, maybe move and settle into greener pastures. Perhaps your partner or kids can aid you in some little way on the journey, or they can stay at home, help with the business and such. Actually, I got this game in the first place because of the potential in playing a character who could get married and raise a family. When I kept going on with this tedious game without any prospect of marriage or advancement, I lost patience in it and deleted it. I think the marriage update would be a very good improvement, please add it. It can’t be that hard, could it?Show lessKNT Daddy
Good, but bugs
This game is really good overall. It’s fun to play and the art style and animation is really nice. I’m not sure if I’m the only one experiencing this or not, but there are a lot of bugs/glitches in the game. The game will CONSTANTLY freeze, especially in town. For example, if I scroll through the houses too fast, the game will freeze and I have to restart the app to continue playing. It seems like I’m restarting the app every 10 mins just because of the freezing. There’s another bug too, where when I receive an item from an achievement/daily box, the item is MASSIVE and will take up my entire backpack. I’ve found that the only way to fix it is to go home and put the item on a shelf, which seems to return it to its proper size. Mostly an inconvenience, but still something I thought I should include. I have an older iPhone (6), so maybe that could be contributing to the problem? Idk. Overall, great game, definitely recommend.Show lessZullozz
Lost so much grinding...
When I played this game, I was deciding to go back to a grinding game that I sucked in because I was dumb. So now that I knew ideas to get a lot of money, I decided to grind this game for fun. The few problems I had with this game was that they don’t seem to configure the screen size to fit in the iPhone 11, or the fact that any item I create glitches out and just sits where it’s created until I reset the app. But those two issues weren’t really a problem for me. The main problem is the fact that I lost so much data for no reason. I just moved to a town that was actually active and was really helpful for me. I stayed and grinded the game for a good 5 hours straight, making over 20k$ and having lots of good items. When I was done, I got off the app and went about my way. When I got back, it took be back to the setup I had 5 hours before I grinded hard. At this point, the game just made me want to quit after losing so much valuable items and money. I’m no longer getting back on since it seems the developers gave up on updating their game anyways. To those who do want to play, play at your own risk. If you plan to grind, do it little by littleShow lessLilbrodbdh
I’ve been in love with this game for years
This is such an enthralling and stimulating game that I get so lost in that I only let myself play it when I’m on vacation. I don’t know if it’s the visuals, the complex rewarding systems, or the endless exploring that make it my favorite game of all time, but I’m hooked. I don’t think I’ve ever written a review for a game or app before, but this one is so amazing that I felt I had no choice. Maybe I’m being dramatic, but that’s probably because I’m tired from staying up so late playing this game. There are some bugs and glitches, but most of them are simply visual and don’t affect gameplay/progress. Plus, I feel like glitches sort of come with the territory of making such an overall complex game for mobile devices. The only suggestion I have is the addition of a “save” button, just to ensure that when the app is closed after a player has reached new territory that they won’t have to pay for that access again upon reopening the app. Awesome game!!Show lessPaintEverything101
A game of patient grinding
I love this game and I have been actively playing it for over 2 years but its honestly a mixed bag. I have yet to find another app game like this, its as if John Muir made Minecraft. But the game’s content hasn’t been updated in over 3.5 years and they occasionally come out with a bug patch but there are still tons of glitches (most prominent one is an item craft freeze).
This game is calming, with stunning graphics and peaceful bgm. Its a super simple game that slowly builds complexity the more you play. It only needs an internet connection for free-item ads or community play in guilds which I love. I’ve played this on the plane, before settling into bed, during lunch-breaks, etc.
The slingshot mini-game isn’t intuitive and doesn’t offer a tutorial which is a little disappointing but nothing an online walkthrough couldn’t fix.
This app is all about the patient grind. It looks like a game of world-building but its not really that and people may find it unnecessarily tedious. However, this is my cup of tea and I am the type to stay repeating the low levels until I max things before proceeding.
There’s a lot of room for scaling this game to higher levels and content, but I think the developer got bored and has shelved the game, allowing it to slowly build ad-revenue without having to put more effort into it. Its ok, I’ll still keep playing until I can find a game that can replace this itch and so far after 3.5 years, I’ve still yet to find one.Show lessHalfmist
Great game, needs more development
Overall a good game that I’ve been playing since it’s beta days. However, there are things that have been ‘coming soon’ for years as well, such as the birch and sequoia group chopping groves in towns that have yet to be opened.
EDIT: I uncovered a glitch where I tried to stand up and sit back down at a camp site, and instead of sitting back down my character began walking in the wrong direction down the trail. Well, not really on the trail, kinda right through the landscape in a straight line. I was still able to collect items, as well I was passing other players going the opposite direction. Could not chop trees or hunt, or turn the camera angle. Also there was 0% stamina drain so I could probably just walk forever.
EDIT 2: I DID in fact walk forever; all the way back to the previous camp. So it was in the falling leaves map, from rustling creek to lichen forest. I was also able to still eat food items that were in the top of my pack.Show less_phillihp_
The best!!! Pls Read
The Trail is the best game ever! At first I was like o this is gonna be boring I thought all you could do was walk and collect stuff but as I play it just gets better and better! I don’t hv any thing bad to say about this game except one thing when I get on the game it never leaves off we’re I left the game because I got passed the second boat with the money but then the next day when I got back on I had to get pass the second boat and it’s the worst because it took a while and I wish u had three hearts because I always die and then of course people take my stuff that I extremely need then I hv to get it again and it’s like cmon seriously so maybe if you can pls fix that at least we’re people won’t steal ur stuff pls pls pls pls pls I beg you pls fix that. so I would highly recommend you too play this game and trust me at first when you play it you might think it’s boring but as u get farther in it gets better and I like how u can make your own name and pick your person but maybe you can change it were like u can actually create a person 💅🏻 because I think it would make the game even better. So maybe if you could just do that one thing that would be great! But over all this game is AMAZING✨ I would definitely rate this 5 stars if u could I would rate it... I went from 🙂😃🤩 you have too play this game!Show lessmolly merone
Super fun game but...
there are glitches, as some have already mentioned. One is that the house stays curtained after upgrading. Another is that some things I have crafted stay frozen in the middle of the screen (this can be fixed by closing the app and reopening it, but that’s a hassle). Another is that I can’t seem to pick up the items the bird wants, not always, but sometimes it is highlighted red and I swipe and swipe and it acts as if I’m not doing anything at all. The most infuriating one, however, is the fact that my items don’t merge/stack in my backpack anymore. It makes it so hard to fit any substantial amount of items before I just have to walk along with an overflowing pack, not picking anything up. I was worried this was a new intentional feature because I only just picked the game back up after a few months, but I remembered that one of the first things I picked up when I came back did stack! If nothing else were to be fixed I just desperately want to be able to stack my items instead of having 3 loose mushrooms taking up space in my pack.Show lessjambber
I’m using this to report a bug but
So first off, I couldn’t find anywhere else to report this but I ran into a bug where opening my private chest spawns a moulding in it. I filled the shelves at mine and the other carpenter’s homes thinking if I logged off they’d go away but they stayed.
But aside from that I love this game, I’ve played it for like 30 or soish hours now and it’s fun to walk up and down the trail crafting stuff to help my town grow and my cash grow faster. It can be frustrating until you get a home and save up for a private storage container because people like to steal your stuff if you go down, but as long as you keep persisting you’ll eventually notice a shift in difficulty and it becomes working to get the right the tools instead of struggling to stay alive constantly. All in all I’d say this game is worth downloading if you like stuff with good scenery to kill time, I think it has a good life span left to it as long as the trade lines stay active.Show lessSilvythebat
Great game but these glitches need addressed.
I love this game. Have for a while now. But I’m noticing that lately there are a lot of little glitches. So if anyone who works on this game see this, please pass this on to someone who can help resolve these problems. It would be great to get these fixed.
•Sometimes the raccoon that is supposed to steal items of the trail is frozen so it doesn’t, but I can’t pick up the item either, but my dog can. But then I can’t take the item from my dog and he carries it till I close the game down. And then the item is just gone.
•In the lumberyard I’ll be chopping a tree down and for no reason the game will make me move away from the tree and when I go back all the cuts I made on the tree are gone but my axe still shows less uses left on it from trying to cut down that tree.
•(This one happens less but I’ve still seen it) I’ll fill a crate in the warehouse and it counts how many of an item I put in the crate but once I hit about 11 or 12 (we fill our crates to 12) the crate resets to 2 or 3 and I loose all the items I put in.
•When opening the rewards for completing the daily tasks, if I am given, say, 500 chits, they appear to stay on top of the box and make it hard to see what else I get from the reward. And if I open one reward and get the chits they will be there from the rest of the rewards I open that day. I don’t know if I’m actually getting the chits once, multiple times, or never.Show lessMorgan_mae
