I played through in about an hour. Needs longer more prototypical routes and a variety of traction including diesel. As others have indicated, this is more an exercise in DB claiming how energy efficient you are. If you want a real train sim, it’s no substitute for DTG’s Train Sim or MSTS/Open Rails on the PC. Hopefully it will be expanded in due course. ### 3/5 — Great game but *2019-10-16, version 1.6.2* The whole games about energy saving how pointless for a brilliant train sim game leave the energy bit out and I would give this game five stars ### 2/5 — This is a rip off because, *2019-07-18* When I was on level two almost at Petersburg, they stopped the train, so this is a rip off app. ### 3/5 — It can change a little bit *2019-03-07, version 1.6.2* It didn’t work for me the first time but I think I’ll get the hang of it ### 2/5 — App *2018-02-04* Good game but not enough time to get in the station. Also it is required to stop at the red signal when other games I tried don't require it please fix this app once it is improved I will change my rating ### 3/5 — Okay but needs fixing *2017-10-24, version 1.5.8* The game is really good when your app is new to the device but after about a day it gets really glitchy. Whilst your going along the track the apps title keeps popping up and you can't get rid of it. Also it's really annoying to start playing the game as the play button doesn't work you have to hit it about 100 times for it to work. And when it doesn't work the app crashes. Other than that the actual game itself is pretty good. The game just needs updating and repairing. H ### 3/5 — Nice But Sorta A Copy *2017-09-03* So I Was Looking On The App Store And I Saw This Game Called Trainz 2 And Trainz I Love It But I Think 💭 It's a copy ### 3/5 — Good graphics, game needs work *2017-08-20, version 1.5.8* I enjoy playing this train sim, it's very smooth and with good levels of detail. I'd like to suggest more than one thunder effect, as during rain storms it's very repetitive to keep hearing the same clap of thunder! Animated passengers on platforms very nice touch, how about some humour with that? The American voice for train announcements is annoying, why can't she have a German accent? I think there should be a horn for tunnels and passing trains, and a switch for headlamps. Finally, Dawn, sunset, snowy and foggy scenarios would be great. Overall, I am impressed, and I love the fact there are no adverts and that this game is free. ### 3/5 — A bit ok *2017-04-09, version 1.4.9* It's ok but needs a bit more improvement:) ### 2/5 — Change language on control column *2017-01-28, version 1.3.8* I like this game but if you could change the language on the control column to English you would get 5 stars until then you only deserve 2 stars!!!!! ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Super Duper trooper quadruple annoying *2022-09-26* OK this game needs to have an update 3.2 stars needs to be lower OK it should be rated only 1.7 stars absolutely junk experiences and you can select your train for a level 2 oh no it’s gonna be a while and annoying don’t get any experiences like that when you’re so annoyed delete the junk if you’re getting frustrated this game is enough one time I talked about it almost as bad as game is this it was called real train simulator so if you have this junk get rid of it!! ### 1/5 — Just bad. *2022-08-07, version 1.7.2* I can not get past one of the parts of the game it to heard please fix this game to make it easier for other people to play goodbye I’m never getting this game again ### 1/5 — Broken *2022-07-13, version 1.7.2* When I press and enter my name it won’t work then the app crashes i am not able to play the game. That would be fun. :( ### 1/5 — The worst *2022-03-17, version 1.7.2* This game says I go fifty miles an hour then I station comes up I get in trouble for half of the drivers cab off the station like WHAT, ### 1/5 — HOW DO WE GET THROUGH ITS HARD *2020-09-14, version 1.7.2* I can’t get through one of the parts I hate it 👎👎👎 bad game ### 1/5 — Stupid game *2019-08-05* This game was fun, but then I would go 1 mph over the speed limit and it would stop the train and then I’d have to redo the 12 minute session all over again. It’s stupid. How bout next time when you go over the limit it kicks the speed down by 20, huh? Here’s a tip, if you want to save the environment so badly how bout you go outside and pick up trash, instead of WASTING energy to make a non-realistic stupid game! ### 1/5 — Bad as heck *2019-05-29, version 1.6.2* When I played it thought it would be good but I’d didn’t let me get that far because when it said play or whatever the game just crashed ### 1/5 — App doesn’t work *2018-01-23, version 1.6.1* Can’t even get past the screen where it asks for a name so no idea even how to drive the train because the app won’t let me get that far!! ### 1/5 — Can not log on *2017-11-15, version 1.5.8* It , s a boo ### 2/5 — Useless *2023-07-12* This game useless it kicked me out for no reason at all this game is not good at its best it’s just not fun to be playing and it’s just a bad game and I don’t like it. Please fix ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Trains *2019-01-12, version 1.6.2* I find this amazing because you get to choose your train ### 5/5 — Excellent *2018-09-01, version 1.6.2* Good graphics and game play. Feels very realistic. ### 5/5 — Can’t log in *2017-10-29, version 1.5.8* Crap ### 5/5 — Love it *2017-06-04* I love it but in the next update you guys should make it more realistic ### 5/5 — AMAZING *2017-03-17, version 1.4.9* This is without a doubt the best train sim on the App Store! Well done guys it's amazing. It would be awesome to have a free mode without speed limits or energy saving. Still is great with the current levels! ### 5/5 — One Of The Best *2017-01-29, version 1.3.8* It gives you tips and tools and you can go really fast at times plus you can play it in German. How cool is that. Really recommended it. ### 4/5 — Fun Game For What It Is *2021-01-28, version 1.7.2* It had my interest for all 10 levels. There are things you could add to improve in the game, but it’s a fun game for what it is. ### 4/5 — Love it! *2018-12-25, version 1.6.2* This game is great to play, nice routes, the weather effects are good, the timings are precise and the stations are very detailed. Just one thing, could you add different views, like multiple exterior views. Overall, though, very happy with it. ### 3/5 — Camara *2022-05-29, version 1.7.2* Add other view points please ### 3/5 — OK BUT COULD BE IMPROVED! *2021-05-22, version 1.7.2* The control panel on all train models is identical which becomes boring. The control panel could use a train horn button to be mandatorily used to sound the horn at certain times such as level crossings, arriving/departing stations etc in order to successfully complete levels. Like other train simulator apps, a front view scroll capability would be better. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
