Old app, but it works!

Great app, that gets harder the longer you play. I don’t understand the high scores that seem impossibly fast, but other than that, it’s a great implementation of Allen’s classic puzzle!!

Fun

A great digital version of John Allen’s Timesaver switching game. I think the Wizard of Monterey would approve .

Fun

Love the challenge of unsubscribing the puzzles

good learning opportunity

Optimizing switching operations is what’s learned from the Timesaver . Sidings are short, so strategic moves save time in putting the cars where they need to be.

Very calming and rewarding app

After getting the hang of how things work with a gentle start the mechanics lend themselves to being thoughtful and calm. Pretty much perfect for me to unwind with.
