My boys loved this app before the update. I didn't pay close attention every time they played, but I think they used to unlock trains by winning races. They loved it! They started telling me that all the trains were unavailable again, and now I see it's because the game designers decided to lock everything back up unless a parent is willing to shell out $12. This is annoying for two reasons. 1) That's a stupid amount for a child's game, especially when there are so many great ones for free, and 2) I'm pretty sure my kids unlocked the achievements on their own, and now the game has essentially taken them hostage unless we pay up. Really, at a minimum, they should get two different trains for free so Thomas isn't racing himself. I'll likely delete this game now.
