Needs a little improvement

Everyone has the same problem, eventually the app starts freezing and you have to uninstall and reinstall then you can play again. I like this game other than that. Don’t love that you don’t get to choose when your train (penny) is in or out on your turn but other than that it’s a good game. Hopefully it gets fixed, maybe while you’re at it make it where you can have friends and play with them instead of the computer!

Crashes

Fun game but it crashes regularly.

Great… until

I really like the layout of this app. Ads are not annoying like so many others. But I’ve had to reinstall it 3 times now because eventually it will just stop responding. That part is off putting.

Fun game

App freezes up at times, and does not catch it if you pass when you have a tile to play. Otherwise, a well developed game. How about substituting a sombrero or Mexican flag for the penny marker?

Needs updated please!

I was enjoying this game, but since the last couple iOS updates, this has been freezing up randomly. I have to close the game, and when I restart it, it does go back to the same place in the game.
UPDATE:
I can send pics of my game settings if you advise where I should send them.

Response from developer

I would love to fix this. But first, I have to see it freeze or crash and I have not been able to do that. I've played this game on numerous devices and simulators, but I can't make it fail. Maybe there is some special set of options and rules or some sequence of events that I'm not trying. If you could provide any additional information on the freeze (what were you doing when it happened, what rules and options are you using, etc.), I would very much appreciate it. --Scott

Corrupt,s

Someone needs to correct this game. It ‘corrupts s on an every game.

Needs updated please!

Truly original

I’ve played several Mexican train games and this is the best one out there with no unwanted ads. The game play is fast and it seems fair even tho you may bots. There is a help page with everything and more about playing the game. I love that I was able to change bots names to my own names I choose. My favorite Train game by far. Way to go developers!

Crashes and Locks

Crashes and locks up in the middle of a game. Have to delete and download again

Crashes

This game crashes a lot

Great game but has a few bugs

This is by far the best Mexican Train game I’ve tried. The graphics rent cheesy or annoying as others were. My only complaint is it locks up every so many turns and it doesn’t allow the play of some domino combos. The game has to be closed and restarted to resume play.

Needs an update

Love this game. This app is really great HOWEVER I am consistently having to close out the app and re-open to make a move. It has happened on numerous occasions in various locations so it’s not my WiFi.

Freezes constantly

Except for the fact that it freezes during at least every other game, and I have to close it and reopen it, it is a well designed game.
When I close it and reopen it, I don’t lose my place, it continues within the next move (or waits for me if it is my move).
Unfortunately, it’s not just freezing now, it’s also not allowing me to play some dominoes or it will play the domino incorrectly when I double click on it and then freeze and then put the domino back on the bottom line.
It’s very frustrating
If it worked, it would be a great game.

Great app

I love this game and I love this app because it lets me play on the go!

Game is junk

Tried to play 5his game it wouldn’t allow me to play. Deleted it

The best Mexican Train

This is by far the best Mexican Train app. I appreciate that data is not collected. I agree with some of the other reviews that the game is freezing, which it did not do before. You apparently fixed the issue that the game simply closed on us, unfortunately it resulted in this freezing. At least with the freezing we can close the app and return later to the same place. Overall, thanks! I enjoy playing it

Response from developer

Please email scott@amuseware.com with the details about the crash. I'd like to fix this, but it never crashes for me.

Fun! But uh oh

Fun. But it freezes up a lot

Fun game but freezes or crashes

Works great and fun until it glitches. Usually a restart will get you back to where it froze. I’ve encountered a couple of times where I’ve needed to delete the app and redownload because of some glitch.

Pretty Good

Overall, the game is really good. I would’ve given it 5 stars, but there’s a bug where the game freezes. I have to close the app then reopen it. Please fix that. My other issue is, I feel like the computer is looking at my hand. Seems like they always pull the perfect move at the perfect time.

Great except…

Like others, I love this app and think this is the best version of MTD available. I have the same issue as others as well: after a few weeks of playing the game freezes and the only fix is to remove and reinstall the app. It’s frustrating to lose stats
