### 5/5 — Hope to get the adaptation

I love this game, but when can iPhone Air be adapted to games?

### 4/5 — I wish there was a newer version

*2025-03-08*

As much as I love this game, it feels a little outdated compared to what they’ve been making recently. I’d love for there to be a newer version maybe with brighter color palettes and easier controls. Making a successful and interesting train station is just so much fun!

I realised that my Station was not deleted. Sorry for that time. It’s definitely one of my MOST favourite game. Thank you kairosoft!

### 2/5 — A waste of money

*2022-09-09, version 1.37*

The interface is very weird.
A lot of times I cannot click on the items I want. I played other games from kairosoft and they worked fine. 
I gave up playing because it was very annoying trying to click on the items I want and nothing happened. 

กดอะไรไม่ค่อยติดเลย ไม่รู้เป็นที่ระบบหรือไอแพด แต่เล่นเกมอื่นก็เล่นได้ปกติไม่มีปัญหาอะไร เสียดายเงินมาก ไม่คุ้มเลย เล่นแล้วหงุดหงิด กว่าจะกดย้ายของ ย้ายร้านได้
