Hi

### 1/5 — Creepy and copy

*2020-06-19*

It’s creepy creep creep also y’all are copying ttte (Thomas and friends)

### 1/5 — Jackman is a creep

*2020-06-04*

He stares blankly at your soul and the animation is uncanny

### 2/5 — Not what I expected

*2019-06-25*

This game has issues that have nothing to do with the show.
1. Every time Wilson is reporting to Jackman, Jackman’s mouth is moving the same way each time and I can tell he’s not actually saying what he’s supposed to.
2. The tracks are messed up. It looks like the tracks are in a wall and they ride the tracks like it’s normal.

### 1/5 — Can’t even see the app for the in app purchases

*2019-04-28, version 1.1.0*

Developer cares more about trying to trick your kids into agreeing to in app purchases than building trust and showing off what they can do. Uninstalled.
