## Most critical reviews (8 lowest-rated)

### 1/5 — No longer works

*2024-11-25*

Won’t pair with train

### 1/5 — Not working

*2021-06-08, version 1.35*

Unfortunately I cannot control the train through the app. The connection via Bluetooth worked but the app doesn’t allow to control the train.

### 1/5 — Noisy- no mute option

*2020-01-24*

The train does two things: it moves, and it plays sound. Unfortunately it always does both together. There is no way to have movement without also having the super noisy sound effects. The app should really fix this.

### 1/5 — Terrible!

*2019-07-31, version 1.33*

Could not get app to work no matter what I tried.

### 3/5 — App

*2019-01-12, version 1.33*

An sich ist die App gut gestaltet und funktioniert soweit auch gut. Man vermisst nur, dass es kein Feedback gibt sobald man am Zug selber die Richtung ändert. Eine Akkustandsanzeige wäre auch super aber vllt kann der Zug nicht selber senden ?!

### 4/5 — Hours of fun

*2019-08-25, version 1.33*

Bought this for the kids (aka Me) as it looked pretty cool. Hours of fun for my 2 yo. At first scared w remote control. 4 yo liked the remote control. 

Would love to see app for the watch.

### 5/5 — Great! Super simple

*2026-02-07*

This is perfect - minimal and simple. My kid can figure it out easily. The touch targets are big for her sometimes imprecise hands. It connects well to the train. Easy and fun.

### 5/5 — Super easy - works great

*2020-12-15*

Simple little toy/app to take advantage of our wooden train set. App worked great without any setup. Literally start app, flip the train switch to “on,” and control the train. Kids used it for an hour straight!
