Metro metro-link Amtrak Union Pacific trains are here in my state california ### 4/5 — my 3-year old demands to play *2013-01-09* many many hours have been played. i don't find it very intuitive, but my kid loves it and seems to have figured it out. ### 4/5 — 5 *2012-12-11* 楽しめます。 ### 4/5 — Design a train... *2012-09-22* Design a train is interesting to my five year old grandson but it took him a little while to figure out what he needed to do. Once over that hurdle, he quickly moved through the levels. It seems to be a reasonable compromise between repeating operations and achieving attainable goals. It holds his interest far longer than would have guessed. ### 4/5 — Fun *2012-09-21* Good game ### 4/5 — Fun! *2012-08-17* My son loves this app and then adding it to the Build a Train app! Unless we haven't figured it out, we wish we could delete a train we have imported to the Build a train app. ### 4/5 — Fine *2012-08-06, version 3.1* It's fine ### 5/5 — Big hit with the kids. *2012-06-22* My 5 year old thinks its the bees knees. Well done. ### 5/5 — trains *2012-06-09, version 3.0* my 2 year old son loves this. ### 5/5 — I love this game! *2012-05-19, version 2.0* My son loves this game! ### 5/5 — My boys love it *2012-05-04* My boys love it and have spent hours painting and making trains! ### 5/5 — It's fun! *2012-04-24* My son is enjoying every days. ### 4/5 — Cool Tracks *2012-04-12* Cool app! Only thing that would make it better is to be able to add your own names and numbers. Plus if I could run the train I design on Build a Train that would be cool. Engineer. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Terrible app *2020-11-03* This app only allows you to color a train car. To run it on a track app takes you to purchase another app. Ver disappointed! ### 1/5 — Doesn’t work with newest iOS *2017-12-02* We loved this app but now it doesn’t work with the new iOS update and it’s even a paid for app. Hopefully it gets fixed soon to be compatible and then my review will change to 5 stars. ### 1/5 — Disappointed *2014-02-09* We have had Build a Train for years and my son loved it. The description indicated that we could design a train with the Design a Train app and import the train over to Build a Train. Not possible. Thanks guys, my 5 year old is crying and doesn't understand why mommy can't gets his trains over to Build a Train. You need to make it clear that it's not possible and your app description is deceptive. ### 1/5 — Underwhelmed *2012-09-22* My 6 yr old son bought this app and he was very disappointed in the very limited scope of its functionality. He did like the build a train app though. ### 1/5 — Disappointed *2011-11-12, version 1.1* Toddler can't manipulate. Can't drive trains when finished. Options very limited. Not worth money. ### 1/5 — Not good *2011-10-22, version 1.1* This game does not let you delete the first train car engine. Not fun. ### 1/5 — Needs updating *2011-09-25* This app is a great idea BUT it doesn't live up to expectations... So many bugs its ridiculous!! ### 2/5 — Faulty *2011-10-06, version 1.0* Adding new cars overrides all our previous selections. Seems to be a serious bug. ### 3/5 — Trains *2012-06-30* We love both train games but we cannot import the train we just painted. What's up with that? My grandson is very disappointed after he was told he could run the train he just painted. Please fix or if I'm inform me how it's done. ### 3/5 — Its fun,but limted *2012-02-12, version 1.1* Don't get me wrong,its fun,but it needs more. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — An Honest Review *2019-08-10* I bought this game along with “Build-A-Train”, and importing trains works for me. If you have a device that’s the IOS 10 model or later, download both of them, and you’ll be fine. To be honest, this game is pretty solid, with easy-to-paint locomotives and cars, bright colors, and the ability to import your trains and railcars! ### 5/5 — love it, *2017-09-21* We have been playing' DESIGN A TRAIN!
