### 5/5 — Please fix the bugs other than that it's a great app

*2015-07-14*

The whistle sound stopped working after two weeks please fix this problem

### 5/5 — Awesome

*2014-10-14*

I remember this when I was 7 and now I'm 10 and it's still good.I recommend you to get it

### 5/5 — Review

*2013-02-24, version 3.0.0*

Awesome I love it!

### 1/5 — Eh...

*2013-01-19, version 3.0.0*

The app wasnt what I expected it to be like. The description makes it sound amazing, but it isn't that great. 
I ended up deleting the app because of how useless it is. You shouldn't have to PAY for the app. Maybe if it was FREE then by all means download it, but it is not worth the money.

### 5/5 — Awesome but needs better trains

*2012-12-25*

Needs more trains like big boy or cass trains in wv and more lay outs

### 5/5 — Train simulator

*2012-12-07, version 3.0.0*

The best game ever

### 1/5 — This app keeps crashing

*2012-11-15, version 2.0.0*

Everytime I open the app, it crashes within the first two seconds or sooner.

### 2/5 — Dumb

*2012-08-21, version 2.0.0*

It's ok and everything but where are the real train engines. If it was free I would get it dont waste your money

### 4/5 — Good but needs an update

*2012-07-04*

I bought this app and love it! It's a great time killer for anyone who likes trains but needs more trains.

### 1/5 — I bought the app crash

*2012-05-29, version 2.0.0*
