### 4/5 — Fun game, 1 request

*2026-08-05, version 1.20.3*

I’m enjoying the game. I do wish that we had an option to mark unconnected or newly appearing houses. When the map gets crowded, those sneak up on you, and it’s tiresome to have to constantly scan for new houses that have appeared.

### 4/5 — Really fun!

*2026-07-29, version 1.20.3*

I’ve been playing mini motorways for the past 3 years and have always been fond of the games simplicity and how smooth it looks. I love the updates and new maps but there’s one thing that’s keeping this away from five stars.

Progress loss.

For some reason the past few times I’ve recorded good runs* but in the main screen the scores just completely disappear and it says zero. I’ve tried multiple times to resolve it but it doesn’t work. Please fix it if possible!

Otherwise this is an amazing game and definitely worth playing!


*(~2500 on Tokyo, ~2800 on Istanbul, and ~2400 on Los Angeles)

### 2/5 — App won’t load

*2026-07-19, version 1.20.2*

Only free app will load. Not the arcade version

### 2/5 — Crashes all the time I just lost the game because I couldn’t get the things to work the buttons and

*2026-07-17, version 1.20.2*

I think I’m gonna take a break from this game. It’s fun, but it’s not fun when stuff like this happens and it freezes up no exceptions. I’m gonna go shopping for maybe another kind of game similar to it.

### 4/5 — I love the game but 1 problem.

*2026-07-14, version 1.20.2*

The problem is when I play creative it doesn’t really save what I did is I turned off my phone and I came back and the roads and houses I built were gone I don’t know how that happened but please could you try fixing it.
Thank you for reading.

### 3/5 — Oneway streets and off-ramps for the motorways please.

*2026-07-10, version 1.20.2*

I enjoy playing mini motorways ( wish I didn’t have to pay for a subscription ), but I really would like to see oneway streets and off-ramps ramps for motorways please.  Just saying. Thank you.

### 4/5 — Me encanta pero…

*2026-07-09, version 1.20.2*

Está muy padre hasta en el audio, sin embargo llevo algunos días que no carga el juego en mi iPad Pro, ya esta descargado, pero no se abre el juego.

### 2/5 — Decent but a bit senseless

*2026-07-02, version 1.20.1*

The game is good but the distribution of items is so random and frustrating at times.
My current game just ended because I had about 6 pink factories and few pink houses. I had loads of space available and it was producing green/grey/orange houses, but no pink. Then the game stopped because I couldn’t keep the pink factories open through no choice of my own. Extremely frustrating.

### 4/5 — Love this game!

*2026-07-02, version 1.20.1*

I’ve been playing this game for years and I love it so much. Recently, it had not been saving my games. I’ll go back to play after a while and the Home Screen just opens with Play and Options, no Resume. Sad, because several of them were going really well.

### 3/5 — Keeps freezing, won’t save, can’t buy it

*2026-07-01, version 1.20.1*

I would love to give this more stars. The game itself is fun and pleasant. However, it keep freezing, crashing, or not saving. There is no way to manually save, you have to rely on autosave, and it is terrible at actually saving your progress. I’ll play for a bit, complete several levels. I go back to the main menu, then to the levels page, double check that it has saved my score, then exit out of the app. When I come back the next time, it has not saved my progress, and dumps me back into a game I was working on last week that I also already completed and have done at least a dozen levels since. It’s really frustrating to try several times to complete a level, finally do so, and then have all that progress erased with nothing I can do about it. 

The lack of the option to buy the game outright is also incredibly frustrating. There is no way I am paying for an arcade subscription to keep playing this. If I could just spend $20 or whatever and buy it, I absolutely would. But especially with the constant freezing and lack of saving, there’s no way I’m going to continue after my free trial ends. It’s really frustrating because this is such a fun game I would absolutely love to play it for a long time! If you fix the saving issues and freezing/crashing, and let me buy it outright, I 100% would do that.

### 5/5 — ES PERFECTO

*2026-06-28, version 1.20*

Me relaja mucho jugarlo y me quedo pegada jugando. Ojalá puedan crear mas ciudades o más modos para seguir 
jugando una vez terminadas todas las ciudades.

### 2/5 — Frustrating

*2026-06-26, version 1.20*

As your city grows sporadically you can largely manage the growth, but you’ll often miss a new site as the notifications don’t work half the time, or are very subtle. So often by the time you notice it’s too late and you have wasted your time even trying. Best not to start as you will be frustrated at the end that the game has failed you. This should be easy to fix with (say) an audible alarm, the devs must be sadists not to fix this. Shame as otherwise it’s a nice game with great sound and graphic design.

### 5/5 — Oyun açılmıyor??

*2026-06-25, version 1.20*

Apple arcade introsundan sonra giriş yapılamıyor

### 5/5 — Need more things

*2026-06-20, version 1.20*

Like one way roads,highways and speed limits you can control.intersection where you can control where the cars go

### 5/5 — This game is so good

*2026-08-09, version 1.20.3*

I just got this game and i played it for 5hours straight its amazingly calming and relaxing

### 5/5 — Amazing

*2026-08-07, version 1.20.3*

I just spend hours in this game.

### 5/5 — perfect.

*2026-08-04, version 1.20.3*

I’ve been trying to write this review for five minutes. I honestly cannot possible encapsulate how incredible this game is in words. 

I downloaded this with very low expectations and was met with the only thing that stops my panic attacks. 

I’m just so impressed. It’s so accessible, has endless options for everyone’s needs (eg. colourblindness, sensitively to moving transitions, and so much more). 

This worst mistake you can make is not downloading this. I HIGHLY recommend.

### 5/5 — Amazing game BUT

*2026-08-01, version 1.20.3*

Been playing g this for over a year, however in the most recent update the screen goes to black must be a bug! Please help.

### 5/5 — Please Add Pittsburgh!

*2026-07-25, version 1.20.2*

This is seriously one of my all-time favorite games— I’ve spent HOURS playing and will continue to spend HOURS more. We recently moved to Pittsburgh Pennsylvania USA and are always making fun of how crazy the roads are here: bridges, tunnels, triangle intersections, stop signs that say “except when turning right”, houses in the most inconvenient places, just to name a few. It would be delightful if Pittsburgh became a map in the game!!

### 5/5 — Brilliant Game

*2026-07-14, version 1.20.2*

Apple Arcade’s bestest, brilliantest and greatest game yet, lots of options for cities and lots of colors for houses and destinations and circle and square shapes for the destinations, and creative mode is even better, you can design your own roads, spawn houses and destinations on your own, and you have unlimited power! Thank you sooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo much Apple Arcade for this breathtaking game and experience! 😊😊😊😊😊😊

### 5/5 — 👌

*2026-07-13, version 1.20.2*

### 5/5 — Great Game

*2026-07-12, version 1.20.2*

### 5/5 — Good
