Dear developers I found a new bug for you to sort game won’t let me upgrade my trains from 11 carriages to 13 without crashing please fix asap. ### 3/5 — App crashes on upgrade *2022-09-07, version 1.0* Can’t upgrade a train after level 5. App crashes. Otherwise a great game. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Horrible *2023-06-05* Full of bugs ### 1/5 — Waste of missions *2023-05-20, version 2.0* So once you upgrade a train, the game will give you missions that can’t be completed at your current level. So let’s say you have a train upgraded to 9 cars, they start giving you missions for 11 car trains. As soon as you get 11 cars, the mission will be for 13….and so on. It always wastes missions for no reason! Also there is no easy unloading of cars, so each time you need to change the cars, you have to remove each on and put the correct cars in place one at a time. This game is not worth your time. ### 1/5 — Carriage will not move to depot. Just started playing the game. *2023-05-15, version 2.0* Carriage will not move to depot. Just started playing the game. ### 1/5 — UX is very buggy *2023-01-21, version 1.7* The game has potential but the current version is very buggy, making it unplayable. The load train UX close’s multiple times making it very frustrating to unload and load a train. I have a lot of suggestions. However the developer website is bare and there is no way to get support. I am disappointed that Apple approved it. ### 1/5 — Tutorial interface on iPad broken *2022-12-09, version 1.5* I can’t get through the tutorial on the iPad, glitches ### 1/5 — Can not upgrade please refund *2022-11-23, version 1.4* Basically just took my money. Can’t upgrade ### 1/5 — Confused *2022-09-18, version 1.0* Game crashed after 3 minutes and I had to delete it to carry on using my ipad ### 2/5 — Good but could be a lot better *2023-02-04, version 1.7* Good game but rewards are not big enough takes too long to build up bank - instead of issuing orders forcing u to upgrade change to issuing orde rs to suit the trains available ### 2/5 — Стоишь и ничего не делаешь *2022-12-27, version 1.7* Очень быстро в меню заказов остались только заказы с пометкой «сложнейший», в которых требования к поставке на 1 вагон больше, чем перевозит твой максимально прокаченный поезд. Заказы никак не обновляются, копишь в день по чайной лодке на апгрейд поезда из банка. Посмотрю, как будет на следующем улучшении поезда ### 3/5 — Good but *2023-08-10, version 2.0* This game can be the best railroad tycoon game on ios, if only they can turn it into a desert train station than a jungle themed station, and it would be cool to add a view where you can see the train go, and add passengers, choose what cars we want, or locomotive models, but other than that it’s good ## Most praised reviews (9 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — 👍🏼👍🏼 *2022-12-22, version 1.6* Absolutely love it ### 5/5 — how to make grandparents become gamers - download them railroad tycoon:) *2022-12-10, version 1.5* how to make grandparents become gamers - download them railroad tycoon:) ### 5/5 — Lyudmila *2022-12-06, version 1.4* Finally, a railroad simulator that I’ve wanted all my life ### 5/5 — Updates *2022-12-04, version 1.4* More updates pls this game has potential 🙏🏽 ### 5/5 — Bogdan *2022-11-30, version 1.4* The game really caught me in a way I didn't expect. ### 5/5 — Tanya *2022-11-27, version 1.4* Yes yes yes more train games, bring them on ! ### 5/5 — Lewis Burg railroad *2022-10-12, version 1.2* I love the game do more updates ### 4/5 — Unable to upgrade bank *2022-11-08, version 1.3* I am really enjoying this game, however, I have the bank upgraded to 8000 dollars but it closes the game when I try to upgrade it again. And the bank will not upgrade. Since I posted this review I discovered that I cannot upgrade anything. And since this developer did not put a link either in the game or in the App Store, they cannot be contacted except by this review process. Therefore I am lowering my rating until something changes. Latest update has fix the various upgrade issues that I was having. I am now able to upgrade trains, bank and tracks. Thank you for fixing this. ### 3/5 — Need Chinese *2023-03-24, version 1.9* Need Chinese --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
