### 3/5 — I’m missing old school monetization

*2026-04-06, version 1.2.3*

This was an instant download as I’m a huge Nimblebit fan, but these overwhelming UI cash grabs are not something I’d expect from them. Very disappointed as it’s a beautiful game. Also… feels abandoned.

### 2/5 — This UI Stinks

*2026-03-30, version 1.2.3*

Having all these buttons on the main screen when they should be behind a menu is a terrible design choice. Why do I need a giant button on the left side of the screen advertising a season pass that isn’t even out yet. This game is hideous to look at.

### 4/5 — Fun and worth every money.

*2026-02-06, version 1.2.3*

This game is about celebrating the people who transport goods in real life and showcasing the immense thought that goes into stocking the food on our Walmart shelves. Support the creators of this fun, good looking game and similar kinds of games. My only reason for the 4 stars? I wanted more out of the free game. Like more content, more stuff to do and I am barley level 14. Sincerely, worth playing.

(Update: Can you add a social/friend aspect to this game?)

### 2/5 — Sad Departure For Nimblebit

*2025-10-23, version 1.2.3*

This app is missing a lot of Nimblebit’s signature polish and charm. They made sure to cram it full of pop-ups for microtransactions and buggy ads for King’s Shot though. Anything resembling a truck you’d like to actually have is behind a (real money) paywall. Skip this half-baked money grab and just play Pocket Planes again.

### 4/5 — Loyal player

*2025-07-02, version 1.2.3*

This has the potential to be even better than pocket planes and pocket trains. Please continue to update!

### 2/5 — Some potential

*2025-05-08, version 1.2.3*

Could be a great game like pocket trains and pocket planes.  But it’s not been set up right.  It’s imbalanced.  Not enough chance to earn keys.  Not even the chance to purchase at a reasonable price! Not enough jobs of the right type.  Half the jobs are chilled goods - only 2 of the 30 odd trucks carry chilled goods! Shame, overall it’s quite frustrating.

### 3/5 — What happened

*2025-04-11, version 1.2.3*

Not sure what happened but they released this and kinda just abandoned it straight after? I enjoy nimblebit games they’re one of my fave app developers, have been for years. I was looking forward to them adding new content with this and improve it but it just never happened. No update in 6 months.

### 2/5 — I WAS hooked…

*2025-01-21, version 1.2.3*

I loved the game right away. It took me Maybe three days to get my level to 50. However, once at level 50 keys are no longer part of the rewards. So from all appearances, I cannot unlock more cities for the time being-I’m not paying real money. I found it nice that it’s easy enough to build up the bux. So maybe a bux to key conversion would be nice? It’s a solid game otherwise.

### 3/5 — This game makes me think Nimblebit is broke

*2024-12-31, version 1.2.3*

I grew up on Nimblebit games and mobile games in general. I know the microtransaction hustle. But man, just seeing how much of this game feels like it wants you to put down real money or watch ads kinda bums me out. Dipping my toes back into Pocket Trains and Pocket Planes makes Pocket Trucks just seem like it’s trying to get you to pay up and some of the things you need to pay for are egregious. Why do I need to pay for VIP to fully upgrade my trucks??

### 3/5 — Promising, but will they keep the promises?

*2024-12-26, version 1.2.3*

I love nimblebit games and was excited to try this new(ish?) game. However there are many confusing things about it, promises of more features that are not available (what the heck do we do at the parts station?) I’m loving the graphics and the gameplay but it’s frustrating that some features are simply not useable.

### 3/5 — Fun, but feels abandoned

*2024-11-16, version 1.2.3*

The game concept is good and passes the time well enough.  However, it’s been a long time since a new campaign has started and there are some long standing bugs waiting to be fixed.  I get the impression the devs rushed this to release without a long term support plan.

### 2/5 — I’m missing old school monetization

*2024-11-13, version 1.2.3*

This was an instant download as I’m a huge Nimblebit fan, but these overwhelming UI cash grabs are not something I’d expect from them. Very disappointed as it’s a beautiful game.

### 4/5 — Prem is to much money

*2024-10-02, version 1.2.3*

outside of the prem being 20$ it’s pretty cool.
ps.add unlockable heavy load truck

### 2/5 — Needs development

*2024-07-19, version 1.2.1*

The game needs a ton of improvements such as the overfilled UI and especially the glitchy sound system of the game. The sound keeps cutting out for me and then multiple tracks play over each other?????
Honestly, whilst i appreciate that they’re making old fans of Pocket Planes happy, I would really appreciate if they worked on updating Pocket Planes and Pocket Trains more.

## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated)

### 1/5 — Worst pocket game

*2025-09-22, version 1.2.3*

This game isn’t finished, doesn’t have many options for different trucks and won’t let you upgrade trucks with out paying.

### 1/5 — No thanks

*2025-08-01, version 1.2.3*

I don’t want to look at your store. I don’t appreciate the ! icon that’s only purpose to to remind me of the stores existence and annoy me. I don’t appreciate having to sit through three minutes of ads without being able to leave. This game is a remodeled and worse version of pocket planes. You probably want to spend your time and money elsewhere, otherwise you can have this app begging for whatever you’ll give it.

### 1/5 — Greed killed a good idea

*2025-07-13, version 1.2.3*

just like the other games except everything is intentionally inefficient to try to get you to spend money

### 1/5 — Ads

*2025-06-17, version 1.2.3*

The video ads are super invasive and don’t close properly.

### 1/5 — Shoddy art and Trump?!?!

*2024-12-04*

The skins for your truckers are the worst in all of the games, they’re unlocked with the premium currency, btw, and the art is not just bad, but riddled with transparency errors and artifacts that make me think they weren’t made or reviewed by humans. Also, Trump is an unlock-able for some reason, wtf?!?!?

### 1/5 — Weirdly buggy on my iPhone 15

*2024-07-11, version 1.2.1*

I love nimblebit games and when I saw this new one, I wanted to download it and play it right away. But then when I opened the app, I couldn’t even make it pass the first screen as I couldn’t press any of the buttons. It’s just weirdly buggy and I redownloaded a few times and even restarted my phone, but to no avail. Please help me out or if I’m missing something, I would love to play it!

### 1/5 — Should rename this one PocketTrash

*2024-06-25, version 1.1.0*

I love everything they’ve made, except this one. 

It’s ok when you first start out. 5-10 hours in it really turns into a grind. Shortly after it’s so difficult to progress and there’s very little reward to continuing. 

I gave it several updates hoping they’d get it sorted out but it just kept getting worse. 

Play every other game they make except this one. Great company, just crashed and burned on this one.

### 1/5 — Straight up stole my money

*2024-06-07, version 1.1.0*

Done. Used to be a huge fan of their games. After they took my money for a season pass and forced me to buy it again with their last update, I immediately uninstalled and reported it.

### 1/5 — F you spam

*2024-05-04, version 1.1.0*

Everytime I open the app I get spammed to watch ads, buy something, turn on notifications. The game progression is slow af and has lost its magic for me. What a waste because the game looks awesome. Such a failure.

### 1/5 — Disappointed

*2024-05-01, version 1.1.0*

At level 50, I stopped receiving a key after leveling up. Now, I have to search for them on the map and there’s no rhyme or reason to when those keys will appear. I need to watch 5 ads a day just to receive one key. I don’t understand why I should collect truck parts as they don’t seem to serve any purpose. And there’s no reason to purchase the trucks that can haul four or more items as even the star cities never produce enough jobs to fill those trucks, which are constantly refueling.

### 5/5 — Love it but ….

*2026-07-09, version 1.3.1*

Please make it to where we can own multiple of the same trucks , and have to where we can swap semi truck trailers to tanker trailers too ! With 2-4 compartments. Would love if you would make it to where we could trade bux for city keys. Or at least open a market place where we can buy parts with bux or use our scrap to build parts.

Wondering when the pocket pass will release so we have access to the premium vehicles we need that ASAPPP !!

Those would be the main things id love to see , other than that 10/10

### 5/5 — More trucks, please

*2026-05-11, version 1.3.1*

Can you add more trucks to this game?

### 5/5 — No keys available

*2026-05-03, version 1.2.3*

You get to a point where you can’t process anymore. Keys are required to open new cities/routes. The only way to get them is to watch ads. However they don’t have enough ads to watch. in order to get more, making it impossible to get more keys. They really need to get keys back into their shop.

### 5/5 — New update soon?

*2026-04-06, version 1.2.3*

I’m looking at all the reviews and they’re from 2 years ago and I’d like the try the pocket pass

### 5/5 — The Magnum Opus of Nimblebit

*2026-03-14, version 1.2.3*

Trucks actually are the most fundamental important thing in every nation, but anyway God Bless America

### 5/5 — Don’t delete

*2026-03-10, version 1.2.3*

By far the best game I’ve played in a long time

### 5/5 — Love this game

*2026-01-22, version 1.2.3*

I absolutely love this game! I love to watch the trucks as they drive, but unfortunately the trucks automatically honk soooo often and it gets to the point where I can’t watch them for very long anymore :( could we maybe get a fix for that so I can go back to watching them again? Otherwise great game!

### 5/5 — Please Come Back To This Game!!

*2025-12-23, version 1.2.3*

I absolutely love this game. The aesthetic, progression, etc. has been wonderful. Please come back and update this game!!! Support it I loved it this could easily be the best game in the catalog.

### 5/5 — Pocket trucks review

*2025-07-10, version 1.2.3*

This game is amazing easy to play fun exploring new cities and routes and unlocking cities it’s great but some of the last campaign tasks are somewhat kinda hard and might need a bit more roads or cities but other than that this game is perfect

### 5/5 — Very engaging and fun!

*2024-09-28*

was so excited to see this available! I love the style and gameplay. Very happy to see what else gets added, similar vibes to the pocket plane. Addicting!! Love to see what else you guys make!
