Doesn’t work on latest updates. ### 4/5 — Great but broken *2021-05-16, version 2016* The ding counter is broken and idk what the purpose is because nothing phappens ### 3/5 — Needs updating *2019-05-17, version 2016* Counter doesn’t work and the new tram sound is an older version of the new one. Yarra trams updated the sound in late 2018 so hopefully an update soon. Would like to see the tram horn also added. ### 2/5 — Need I fix *2019-02-19, version 2016* I like the concept of the app but the counter doesn’t work ### 5/5 — NEW FAVOURITE THING EVER *2018-11-03, version 2016* I’ve plugged this into my portable Bose sound dock and chased people around crying with laughter. Best fun. ### 5/5 — Pure adrenaline *2018-09-30, version 2016* Nothing gets a Melburnian’s blood racing faster than j-walking across a road with tram tracks only to hear the repeated ding of a tram driver’s bell as they heavily slam the brakes in futility .. as their 40 ton green tram monstrosity squeaks to a jarring halt. I only wish there was a havoc-mode where the bell is struck many times in quick succession. Possibly future simulations is the pedestrian metal walk button and the flicker-ticker sound of the green signal firing off like a Crown casino playing card wedges in the spokes of a fixie bike. ### 5/5 — Amazing but missing one thing *2016-06-18, version 2016* Amazing app, but it's missing one thing - the horn they use once they've dinged too many times at someone and they escalate to a "beep" Also the new ding is cut off at the start ### 5/5 — Incredible App *2016-06-01, version 2016* A an absolutely wonderful app that delivers the true Melbourne tram experience. Whether you're running across the tracks at night or flipping off a pushy conductor in the early morning, MTS16 keeps you right in the action and makes you feel as if you were there. My one criticism would be that the 'new' tram tone is cut-off a bit short. Can't wait for the DLC!!! ### 5/5 — Best.App.Ever *2016-06-01, version 2016* Without doubt the best app I've downloaded all year. The detail, the depth of gameplay, the highs and the lows. And the ding, it's all about the ding. ### 5/5 — Lifelike *2016-06-01* Hard to distinguish from reality. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Fault *2021-04-14, version 2016* I think that this game is a bit of false advertisement as I can’t seem to be able to drive the tram where as on the picture it says you can. I would not recommend it as all you do is ring a bell the whole time! ### 1/5 — No Ding! *2020-01-01, version 2016* Doesn’t make any sound - very sad ### 1/5 — THE DINGER STOPPED DINGING! *2019-04-02, version 2016* As above. ### 1/5 — Doesn't work anymore *2018-05-06, version 2016* Seems like the app doesn't work anymore and no sound plays ### 1/5 — Doesn’t work *2018-02-21, version 2016* No ding ding for me. I push the big red button and all I get is silence. ### 1/5 — You're kidding, right? *2017-06-21, version 2016* This app is useless. What a waste of space in the App Store. ### 1/5 — Am I missing something? *2016-12-03, version 2016* It's just a button that "Dings". Most pointless app I have ever seen. ### 1/5 — Stopped working ): *2016-06-21, version 2016* After a few blissful dings my tram went silent. All other sounds, music, alerts on the phone work fine but my tram simulator no longer simulates... I feel so empty now. ### 2/5 — Idk *2022-06-23* I don’t know about this “ding ding”? ### 2/5 — Sound not playing properly *2019-05-17, version 2016* The sounds are cut off before playing completely. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Ding ding *2023-08-21* Ding ding ### 5/5 — Ding ding ding *2022-11-28, version 2016* Clear the doorways! ### 5/5 — SO GOOD *2022-10-23, version 2016* PRESS THE RED BUTTON!!!! ### 5/5 — Best App on the App Store *2021-09-03, version 2016* I can’t believe this app is free. Truly life changing - download it NOW, and experience all the joys of not one but TWO Melbourne tram bell sound effects. Unfortunately the ding counter doesn’t work, but I don’t mind because that way I don’t need to live with the knowledge of how many times I’ve pressed that red button...that darn red button. That darn ding. I am eternally grateful to the developers of this truly beautiful app. Don’t let “2016” put you off. This app is as relevant and needed now as the day it was released. ### 5/5 — 5 Dings *2021-02-11, version 2016* Mystified by the ding counter, but love it regardless. Brings back back city memories, working from home and all. ### 5/5 — Great but..... the ding counter is broken. *2019-11-19, version 2016* Please fix Also more sounds would be nice 👍🏻 ### 5/5 — Scratches my itch. *2019-05-17, version 2016* I for one enjoy the mild case of anxiety I receive when I hear the tram approaching me from the darkness. 5 stars. ### 5/5 — BEST APPPPPPPPP 🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩 *2019-02-10* BASICALLY PAN AM IS MY TING AND WE LOVE MELBOURNE AND THE UGLY OLD TRAMS AND THE NEW ANNOYING TRAMS, THIS APP IS SOOOOOOO PAN AMMMMM AND YOU HAVE TO DOWNLOAD IT, DOE.
