Recently, the display has changed. The board is smaller and the right side with players names and buttons is enlarged. It makes the dominoes much smaller and not as easy to touch accurately. Don’t know why that has happened. ### 4/5 — Game crashes *2024-12-22* Both this version and the original version also by amuseware started crashing today despite reboot of iPhone and reinstall. ### 2/5 — Too Buggy *2023-10-30* Had to quit playing. The game rarely follows the any of the 5 rules you have control of. It’s like the computer plays by another set of rules and you play by what is set up. Not the only game by this publisher that has this type of problem. It would be a great game if the computer followed the rules as set up in the settings. It doesn’t!!! ### 3/5 — Freezing Up *2023-03-25, version 2.14* Like the game but I often have to delete app and reopen. Frustrating ### 4/5 — Best MT, even though it’s buggy *2022-11-14, version 2.14* I’ve tried multiple MT apps. For some reason, i like this one best. There are still some pretty annoying bugs. i just play around them ### 3/5 — Keeps freezing and forces me to delete App then reinstall *2022-10-17* I have had this app since 2013 and loved it until 2022 when it started freezing me out and forcing me to delete it and reinstall it. On going problem along with the rule changes that are contrary to published game rules. What happened? ### 4/5 — Happy *2022-09-18, version 2.14* Having a good time with the game. Play a little every day. Occasionally some bugs,but able work through it. ### 3/5 — Mexican Train Dominoes *2022-08-09, version 2.14* I love the game but it does have some bugs. I keep having to delete the app and re-download it. Very frustrating. ### 4/5 — Needs fixes *2022-06-07* The game itself is very fun. The missing star: the app crashes and you have to do a hard reset to start playing again. Also, when the game starts, a player goes through 7 or 8 tiles with a starting count of 5? You haven’t made one play yet! So, hit the restart hand button— or you’ll be behind by 80 points. ### 3/5 — Update problem *2022-03-21, version 2.14* Recent update removed: My scores All names, including mine. Please help me get them back. ### 3/5 — Mexican train Dominoes *2022-03-14, version 2.14* My game freezes up so often and I can’t play sometimes a week. ### 4/5 — Enjoy it everyday *2022-02-23, version 2.14* I have been playing this game for years. It’s the closest to the actual game I play with friends. ### 3/5 — Problem with first turn rule on my iPhone. *2022-01-02* I love this Mexican train game but when I choose first turn rule laying down your whole train on the first turn the game starts to do it then closes out in the middle of playing my complete train. Is this a I phone glitch, because I’ve played successfully on my iPad? Can it be fixed? Or am I doing something wrong? ### 4/5 — Doubles *2021-10-21, version 2.14* Don’t like the new rule of having to satisfy a double with your second turn. ### 3/5 — Quirky *2021-08-18, version 2.13* Love the game but the bugs make it annoying. I’ve had to delete and reinstall game a bunch of times. Specifically, the game freezes on the drop down and there’s no way to reset. Hoping that could be fixed. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Continuous crashing *2026-03-24* This just keeps stopping play midway through game ### 1/5 — Sadly, Failed to Run *2025-08-28* On iOS 18.6.2, this paid version failed on first launch! I used the free version, but it had some hiccups during play where it occasionally broke its own rules. Stability decreased with each iOS release. The layout of the board and game play is best in class. It's sad that the App simply cannot withstand Apple's continuous release cycles and what feels like the slow demise of the iOS ecosystem. ### 1/5 — Horrible don’t waste your money *2023-06-08, version 2.14* I play Mexican Train all the time. looking for a game I could play with my sister online besides rummy cube I couldn’t figure out how to play it. I couldn’t rotate the tiles I couldn’t see other players I couldn’t figure it out at all. ### 1/5 — Tried em all *2023-03-03, version 2.14* Update. Game locks up if your board fills up with dominoes no way to reset no way to contact amuseware other than here ### 1/5 — Game no longer loads *2022-10-20, version 2.14* Brand new IPad Air 5, older iPad Pro 10.5 and after playing fine for 6 months this suddenly won’t load. I purchased the full version and love to play it, but it won’t even run. Please fix it. ### 1/5 — Cheating game *2022-08-26, version 2.14* I enjoy the game but your program cheats - gives too many turns to one of the bots WAY too long often. I know how to go to main menu and restart hand but have noted that when that happens in a game (several hands) that bot usually ultimately wins. ### 1/5 — Bugs prevent play *2022-01-22* I wanted to love this app - the dev is going out of his way to protect privacy and make a fun game. But, three times now I have had to delete and reinstall the app due to a bug that (first) prevents any input/interaction, and (second) crashes the game immediately on restart if you try to exit and come back to keep playing. Best description of this bug is: game assumes the full real estate of the screen is usable play area. But, iPhone uses the top center band and bottom center band as areas to control the OS (top: see notifications; bottom: change active app). When selecting a tile in the top band, the tile drops and seems to get “stuck”… it falls onto the board abutting or obscuring other tiles, and the game logic comes to a screeching halt (and then freezes, etc; see above). While I don’t expect a game dev to make bug fixes his full time job, I do expect a paid app with critical failures to be resolved. Five stars for intent, but one star for a fabulously failed execution. ### 1/5 — Can’t play *2021-01-28, version 2.11* Just bought this game 4 days ago had update on iPad now it won’t let me play. What a rip off ### 1/5 — Error in The Train segment *2020-12-16, version 2.11* My Mexican Train never starts until the game is half over or more. Why? One episode I use the tiles in my hand my only option is to draw please refund my money or fix ### 1/5 — Great to terrible *2020-09-05, version 2.11* Was a great game but now it is super super super buggy game, cannot play a full game without freezing. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Exactly what I was looking for! *2024-06-17, version 2.14* No ads, no pay to play or win. A small one time purchase and you’re off! ### 5/5 — A great program. *2024-05-10* I am really enjoying it. It is addicting for this disabled veteran so I’m playing it too much. I have loved Yatzy, even with its bugs, many of which were recently improved. I play Yahtzee with my wife and it would be nice to add another live person here. I have no idea the ,magnitude of programming that would take. ### 5/5 — Nice *2023-03-08, version 2.14* I really like this game, when my mind gets bored or just jumbled up with thoughts. This game takes me away! ### 5/5 — Excellent game *2022-07-28* I play this game on my iPhone 12 and various iPads. Works very well for me. An occasional crash but is comes back up fine. My only suggestion is to place the Mexican train in the same spot on the iPhone as it is on the iPad version. Right now the iPhone has the Mexican train at the top but the iPad version has it near the player’s train (which is easier to follow). I would love to play this with others remotely using turn-based or at least live play. ### 5/5 — Great game *2022-03-29* I’ve been playing this game for years. Any time there is a glitch I delete it and download it again and voila all fixed! Worth the money ### 5/5 — Love this Game! *2021-11-22, version 2.14* Love this GameWish there was a version for my iMac! Other Mexican Train versions out there do not compare! I love the UNDO feature Love the OPTIONS LOVE the ease of play and large Dominoes! Thank You Thank You THANK YOU! ### 5/5 — Best Domino Game *2021-11-09* My wife and I both love this version. Our Domino game that we play on our table has numbers, not pips, so we were excited to have that option here. Also love being able to change the player names. :) ### 5/5 — A Winner! *2021-10-07* I am a long time Mexican Train fan and have played a few other Mexican Train apps. This is the best I have found. I have to be at my best and be lucky to win but I do have a chance to win. ### 5/5 — Frustrating game *2021-07-31* Love this game, however the bugs are very annoying😡 I’ve deleted this app. and reinstalled it a few times, in hope that it would improve. I’ve tried every trick I know to get a through a complete game😳 Scott, Thanks for the reply. I’ve started using the game again and have found it very satisfactory!❤️ **Developer response:** Fixed in version 2.12 ### 5/5 — Game crashes *2020-12-04, version 2.11* I love the game but the glitches are getting me down. I either have to Redon load or wait until the crashes reset them self. Very tiring. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
