This needs to be fixed. ### 3/5 — Game crashes while driving *2025-04-14, version 3.0.0* Every time I open the game and midway through the game just crashes ### 3/5 — Ok game *2024-01-11, version 3.0.0* The game would be better if you could see all of the gags at once ### 4/5 — Is great game but the locomotives *2023-09-04, version 3.0.0* The game play is very realistic, the side rod animation looks fire, but why is it only PS-4? Last time I checked the S.P and NYC didn’t own any PS-4’s. Also, it would be very epic if we had A freight service and locomotive shops. And the people that give the game 1 star are just dumb kids that have phones that are old as dust.I kindly ask to add more verity of locomotives too plz, thanks you. ### 5/5 — Plz update *2023-06-11, version 3.0.0* Never I download the game and go into it it just shows a black screen please update it game dev so then I can play it ### 5/5 — Love it but I have a problem *2023-05-30, version 3.0.0* I love the game and stuff it’s just that every time I go to a stop I don’t know how to earn coins so I’m this is training the traveling through forever and I would like for you to like give me some coins please so I can make it. Thank you. ### 4/5 — Good But *2023-03-24, version 3.0.0* It’s good and all but you have to pay for a lot of it ### 4/5 — Toot toot *2022-12-07, version 3.0.0* Of course this is game you can expect to be great (it is great). Although the game only has the 4-6-2 Pacific Class Ps-4, can you please add some larger or more exotic locomotives that would be great. The whistle is something I want to be fixed, I want the ability to change the pitch/tone depending on how far you pull a cord down, so basically a rope to pull down to change the pitch/tone of any whistle. This game gives me nostalgia, I used to play this when I was younger. Great game. ### 4/5 — Phone problem *2022-12-02, version 3.0.0* I loved this game when I was younger so I decided to download the game but I can’t use it as the game was not on the screen ### 4/5 — Please update *2022-09-18, version 3.0.0* This desperately needs an update because when I click on it it’s just goes to a black screen. ### 5/5 — Plz fix this I really want to play *2022-09-05, version 3.0.0* Okie I love this game but the last time it was updated way 3y ago I tried playing it but a black screen kept popping up so I can’t play plz fix this 🥺 ### 4/5 — Help… *2022-08-22, version 3.0.0* I need help it does not start but it did once and when it did I couldn’t see the starting screen but I’ve seen some YouTube videos of the game I love though ### 3/5 — Problems *2022-08-11, version 3.0.0* The game crashes when I try to add a passenger car to my train it’s not my iPads problem it’s the game I think the game needs a overhaul. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Game coins *2025-08-04, version 3.0.0* Don’t buy in game money it don’t work ### 1/5 — Wish it works *2023-03-08, version 3.0.0* Every time I try and play on a different electronic or not the screen is always moved out of the place and I can’t see the train and only wanna do just play cause this is the best drawing game I’ve ever seen just it’s messed up and at one point it was fixed but now it’s not and I know it’s nothing to do with electronic it’s with your app ### 1/5 — Does not work for me *2022-12-03, version 3.0.0* I have seen many positive reviews on this game and I would leave on too but I am not because I sat there waiting for it to load for I minute straight and all I got was a black screen with train sounds ### 1/5 — It’s just a dark screen *2022-08-27, version 3.0.0* It’s just a dark screen where there’s horn I can’t see nothing ### 1/5 — Lack of support and inconsistent performance. *2022-06-19, version 3.0.0* The game tends to crash a lot with no warning and the only saving grace is that you continue from where it abruptly closes the app. Secondly if you purchase something and don’t get it afterwards you can only wait because the email support no longer exist nor does the actual website. Play it if you want but only free. Don’t by anything here if you value your money. ### 1/5 — Racist *2022-03-04, version 3.0.0* Dumb stupid game that doesn’t WORK FOR UK ### 1/5 — Black screen *2021-12-09, version 3.0.0* Iphone 11 pro max just a black screwn. Too bad. ### 1/5 — Not Suited for Newer Phones *2021-08-20, version 3.0.0* Needs an update. Loved this game on my IPod, but can’t play on my iPhone 7; game isn’t suited for it and appears off center. I would play this game all the time, and even buy more routes if it were updated. ### 1/5 — Has issues with newer iPhones *2021-08-17, version 3.0.0* I have an issue with this using the newest I phone and it won’t run if there is a way to fix it please let me know. All it gives is a black screen. Therefore the app is outdated. Either it is the creator who has given up or in this horrible time we are living in has not updated it for personal reasons ### 1/5 — Does not wkrk *2021-08-01, version 3.0.0* It doesn’t even run, it plays a sound effect but sits on a blank screen ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — We need some new locomotives and things. *2026-08-06, version 3.0.0* I would love this game to have some new steam locomotives or rolling stock. For example, we could use some freight cars or some new locomotives like the 0-4-0 industrial tanks, 4-4-0 American types, or a 4-8-2 mountain type, or 2-8-4 Berkshire. And I would love to see some tank cars or boxcars. We need some railroads like the Santa Fe, Union Pacific, Norfolk and western, southern pacific. If you read this…THANK YOU. And have a good day. ### 5/5 — So so *2026-07-01, version 3.0.0* How do you couple the train? That’s impossible, but the game is great. ### 5/5 — great realistic,masterpiece game *2026-04-26, version 3.0.0* This game i should say is a masterpiece,a realistic game i'v never played anything like this before that i almost stopped playing roblox.also,tell me how to see what level i am. ### 5/5 — Love it *2025-11-26, version 3.0.0* Ty ### 5/5 — I just wish the game keep on updating and having bigger trains *2025-09-09, version 3.0.0* Like the 4-6-4 Hudson and 4-8-2 mountain type and more ### 5/5 — This game needs this *2025-06-29, version 3.0.0* this game needs a menu for worlds* so then I don’t have to keep deleting and reinstalling this game to change the stuff in the game. *it is for the worlds.** **so if you buy a new railroad you can add the route to any world and it won’t do every world you make . ### 5/5 — Great game just support issues *2025-04-05, version 3.0.0* I used to play AT essentially everywhere when I was 6 or 7 great game still just sad how when you buy money in the game it doesn’t give you it but besides that it’s fantastic just needs an update ### 5/5 — Great game! *2024-12-03, version 3.0.0* It’s exactly what it advertises itself as, and a fun distraction when you need one. ### 5/5 — Best game ever so fun *2023-10-08, version 3.0.0* They no ads.
