Suggestions
Hi there! Love the app! Here are a few suggestions for the developers. No rush, just trying to help out.
1. There are numerous times when I will create a game and all of the people show up but the game does not start. It forces you to back out, then go to “RESUME” to re-join the game. It’s strange, but it happens to my friend as well.
2. When you join a game and you’re waiting for others to join, it would be nice to see how many players the game is set for.. that way people know how long their wait will be.
3. I saw there was a suggestion to be able to pull back your move incase you accidentally made a mistake.. I agree that it can happen and it can be frustrating especially in a close match, BUT I don’t agree it should be fixed. I don’t want to have to confirm/submit my move every time, it’s more finger strokes. All those people with fat fingers should just learn to be more precise.
4. Make the friends aspect more useful. Sometimes I play people in a game, and I either has a good conversation or I enjoy the way they play so it would be nice to add those people to your friends list without having to memorize the name.
Keep up the good work.

Fun but way too glitchy
Love this board game and the idea of being able to play online with close friends at home and far their away. But. When playing the local game and sometimes even the solo game, it crashes 8 times out of 10, will boot me out randomly, and will say there is an error or that it is waiting for someone to come back online when we’re both in the same room and neither has exited the game.
It’s far too glitchy and not worth $6.99 in its current state. I have the updates version as well as the latest iPhone update and still all the issues. Quite disappointing for something you pay so much for, expecting so much and getting such poor quality.

Connectivity local or online is horrible
This could be a great game but playing in local or online mode is so unpredictable that you may spend most of the time waiting for other players to reconnect. I just spent 10 minutes filling out a customer service form only to press submit and see a message that something went wrong please try again. This has happened over and over. If the developer can’t even come up with a way to receive email I’m not sure how they can fix these problems. It’s a lot of money to spend for a very buggy app. At this point I’d be happy if I could just send a message to the developer or customer service. If you have an email address please let me know what it is. A refund seems like the best route at this point

Wanted to like it more...
I really wanted to like this app, but there’s a bug that kicks me out frequently when I try to start a solo game. The biggest problem though is in online games. If another play doesn’t take their turn, the game stops until their game timer runs out? The app either needs a way to kick out unresponsive players, or have players automatically replaced by a bot if they’ve been inactive for a certain amount of time.
Another annoying feature- if another player leaves, a comment pops up saying they’ve been replaced by a robot. You have to X out of the pop up. Then another pop up shows up if they come back into the game, which you have to X out of. I had someone popping in and out repeatedly, and it was impossible to play that round because you couldn’t look at the board, select cards, lay a train, etc. without getting a pop up that needed to be closed.
I really like the game, but unfortunately these bugs mean it is not really playable.

It is good
Yes, it can be said that Ticket To Ride challenges the very fabric of intellectual existentialism. Indeed, this railway excursion defies the confines of terrestrial deduction and compels its consumers to extend trifling beyond the limits of recreational pursuit and instead, to cross the threshold of analytical inference.
I say this game is good. It mite be the best. Gaming rocks. Actuly gaming rocks the Rockies. Gaming is good for people and there brains. It don’t matter weather you are little or old. Or what you’re natonality is or is not. Gaming is a cure for anything except covid. I know because I study a bunch of things. And railroad stuff is Awesome but not the noise. I live 25 feet from a active railroad track and its mostly noisy. And there are lots of grafiti on the box cars and the local motives. But no grafiti is in this game, so it rocks. So by this game and Yule get more smart. Like me.

Took away the maps I had purchased
I really like this game. I played it daily with my son while he is in his house and I in mine. But yesterday when I tried to shift to one of the maps I had purchased, it told me to buy it. “Restore purchases” , rebooting the game, rebooting my iPad, deleting and reloading the game ....nothing works. The help section says that when you ask to reload purchases the game will ask for Apple ID, but it doesn’t. I sent a complaint to Asmodee, and while they acknowledged receipt, there has been no other response. I see in the chat section that others are have had the same problem. I will change my rating when this is corrected.
Edit:
The developer fixed the bug that caused me to lose my maps, so I’m changing my rating to 4 stars. It’s a great game, and you can play it online, a huge advantage in this pandemic.

Response from developer
Hello, Thank you for your feedback! Many people lost access to one or several DLCs after the 2.7.10 update, for the reason explained below. First, let me say that you simply need to restart your app (close it and restart it) to be restored access to these maps, as we fixed this issue. Now, let me explain what happened: some months ago, many of you reported a bug where when you bought one or several maps, you received one or several of the now missing maps (Europe, USA 1910, Legendary Asia, India, Switzerland and Nordic Countries) for free. Please note that having achievements on these maps doesn't prove that you ever purchased them, it simply proves you got access to it- which is precisely what the bug did. Also, the "Europe" map isn't a bundle of maps, it only contains one map, the Europe one, and it is the same with the base game "Ticket to Ride", it only contains the basic USA map, and it is not a bundle. Finally, please know that your purchase history cannot be tampered with by us or anyone else, and thus if the maps you were missing don't appear, it shows that you indeed did not purchase them and benefitted from this bug I explained above. We have been working on this for the past few months and the last update, version 2.7.10, did fix, among other issues, this particular one- that is why you lost access to these maps. However, as I previously stated, we decided to give back all the missing maps to everyone who got affected by it as this was solely our mistake in the first place. We successfully wrote and deployed a script which did that and that is why you now simply need to restart your app to find these maps back. Thank you very much for your patience and understanding, We hope you will have fun playing these maps again! Kind regards, Eir
Maddening bugs in local play
Don’t see a Developer Response on the bottom of this post? Don’t waste your money.
Sometimes, the app crashes immediately when you start a game in any mode. Local Games are the worst, though. Playing one is like walking into a field of land mines—you never know when or why the app will crash.
Beyond all the crashing: If one player leaves the app during play, even for a second, the app has trouble noticing when they return to the game. When that happens, you wait and wait. You leave again. Come back. Close the app entirely. Come back. Did that kill your game? Maybe. Maybe not. Should you “Please wait” another ten minutes or roll the dice on your evening?
When it actually does register that both players are present again, it forgets whose turn it was and locks up indefinitely for one player.
(We’re playing with two up-to-date iPhone 11’s over the same Wi-Fi and Bluetooth.)
If these bugs had been fixed within the last few years and/or it were easy to submit bugs, this would be a five-star review. The gameplay is fun and the expansions are great. For that reason, I can’t give it one star. I really want it to be as fun as it could be.
However, the Local Game bugs so consistently crush our fun—and it’s so convoluted to figure out where to go for support—that we’re fixing to check out for good.
Will I miss it? Yeah. But our tabletop version is waiting with open arms.

Love the game but I have a suggestion
My wife and I love the app and the board game. We play Local often and I wish we could just hit rematch after a game, have more control over colors and avatars, and have a way to let the person who joins go first. So far, we’ve needed to start local games from my Mac instead of our phones/I pass. It would also be good to be able to see destination cards full screen on the phone. Germany cards are hard to read when the destination is another country,
Finally the solo game tends to crash at the very end, after the scores are up. So when I restart, it resumes at the last turn. Not fatal but slightly annoying.

Fix Bugs
I’m a huge fan of the board games, so I was excited to have this on the go. Online game mode is super fun, solo is great practice. I love that all of the regions are so easily accessible.
Reason for 3 stars is the constant glitching happening lately. There’s no update, my phone is up to date. Everything checks out. But this past week 8 out of 10 games glitch, it either doesn’t load me in, it runs our time down, takes away turns, etc so game has to be force closed often causing bots to replace and make choices for us players.
Just a while again... I clicked join a game, nothing happened. I tried again, nothing happened. 15 minutes later I got a notification that my online game finished?? What??
Please fix!!

Great adaptation but I wish I could see all my route cards at once
This review is coming from someone who has played the board game probably a hundred times. Me and my family downloaded the game to play with some friends because of Covid-19. The game is for the most part a great adaptation of the original along with some added features that improve the experience like the timer and having your points gained by laying train cars added automatically. That being said there was one frustrating thing that wasn’t a problem at all in the actual board game. This is that there is no way to see all of your routes at one time when it’s your turn. This one little thing made 2 of my 5 games I have played so far on the app feel as if I loss not by my own sword but instead because of the app. If this was added in I would give this app a 5 star review without thinking twice.
