### 3/5 — Cant see score

*2026-02-10, version 3.0*

It is very hard to see the olayer 4 score. Yellow box with white letters blend too much.

### 4/5 — So much potential.

*2025-12-25, version 3.0*

This is the best gameplay and layout of any Mexican Train Domino game I’ve seen. Really feels like the game you play irl. I appreciate it’s free and no adds. Some real potential with just a little refinement. Hope the dev keeps updating. A few minor annoyances but overall great potential. Would be happy to support. Thanks

### 3/5 — Great game but needs more

*2025-06-07, version 2.0*

I really like this game, however, there’s no way to see past scores or how many games you’ve played and won or lost. Please add some more settings!

### 2/5 — Frustrated

*2025-05-21, version 2.0*

This game doesn’t tell you how to play it. 2 stars is generous b

### 4/5 — Overlay

*2025-05-03, version 2.0*

This is a great game, really like selecting my tiles app doesn’t accept my finger half the time The other issue is that it will drop a tile covering one below it. Should not cover another tile. Good luck! Still hiding one tile under another. Still like your game

### 4/5 — Overlay

This is a great game, really like selecting my tiles app doesn’t accept my finger half the time The other issue is that it will drop a tile covering one below it. Should not cover another tile. Good luck!

### 4/5 — Mexican Train

*2025-02-16, version 2.0*

Love this game. But it’s got a couple of glitches. Sometimes the tile will slide underneath the training of another opponent, and becomes absolutely useless. And when I’m picking my tiles one of the other opponents, just takes it right out of my hand lol. Otherwise, it’s a great game.

### 5/5 — Please make it online to play with friends

*2025-02-07, version 2.0*

I have been enjoying your Mexican Train app. When you look what the App Store has to offer for Mexican Train, yours is by far the best one out there! You offer a clean, simple play area. I have not seen any other apps that I would use because they are just cluttered. Kudos for creating such an easy app to use!

If I may, I would like to make a few suggestions.  

1. After all players have chosen their 10 dominoes, the remaining dominoes should all be pushed to the corners instead of lying on the game board where they currently are.  I go in and physically move each domino myself to “clean the area up” every game.  

2. Make this an online game where you can compete with your friends or the computer. There are a lot of people, including retired people, that play this game.  

3. Charge a nominal fee. People would gladly pay a small amount of money to be able to play with their friends if they wanted to.

4. Fix the bugs that still exist. Being passed over when you can play and double dominoes not requiring a follow up domino.

I would love to be the first person to purchase an app like that. I hope that you will consider these suggestions.

### 3/5 — Fix the glitches

*2024-11-05, version 1.0*

I love this game but it doesn’t always play correctly. When a double tile has been played the game does require the player to close it with a single tile. It also says a player doesn’t have a play when you do. Lastly they don’t play with the full set. There should be 8 tiles of every dominie value

### 3/5 — THE BEST WORST GAME EVER

*2024-09-20, version 1.0*

This game is great. However when u are winning it will allow you to pick the worst dominoes possible. U can be winning by a lot and then boom you lose. I hate it for that. Stop using algorithm to help the computer catch up. A great but terrible game
