### 1/5 — game sucks

*2026-05-24, version 4.1.5*

game sucks period

### 1/5 — so many ads

*2026-05-17, version 4.1.5*

literally unplayable with the sheer amount of ads

### 1/5 — Too many ads

*2026-05-15, version 4.1.5*

No matter where you click ads ads ads. Greedy developer

### 1/5 — Sad game, too many intrusive ads

*2026-05-11*

The game only has three levels and it gets over in an hour’s play. They badger you with too many ads every 15 seconds and force you to buy a no-ads pack. Scammy game.

### 1/5 — Ads are ridiculous

*2026-05-09, version 4.1.5*

I have no idea if this game is any good - ads every 15 seconds?! 
I spend more time watching ads than I do actually playing, and the banner ads cover the upgrade buttons. Deleted.

### 1/5 — too many ads

*2026-04-24, version 4.1.5*

unskippable ads every 30 seconds unless you pay. way too extreme. deleted within 10 minutes of downloading.

### 1/5 — Beaucoup trop de pub

*2026-04-05*

Les pubs toutes les 20s c’est pas possible, on peut pas jouer

### 1/5 — Non stop ads.

*2026-03-29, version 4.1.5*

What might be a decent game ruined by an extreme level of ads.  Don’t bother.

### 1/5 — Don’t buy no ads

*2026-03-17, version 4.1.5*

I bought the no ads and I still have the banner ads. Waiting to dispute it because I won’t pay for something but not receive it. The banner ads are the most irritating because it covers the bottom of the screen.

### 2/5 — Ads make game unplayable

*2026-03-14, version 4.1.5*

This game is fun when you can actually play it. There are too many ads that make the game unplayable and many of the ads load to a black screen and the ad never loads.

### 1/5 — Flop unspielbar !

*2026-02-27*

Alle 20 Sekunden kommt Werbung. Es nervt und man bekommt keine Lust am Spiel. 
Für mich klare Null Sterne !!!

### 1/5 — Ads

*2026-02-23*

Too much ads

### 1/5 — Ridiculous amount of ads

*2026-02-15, version 4.1.5*

I didn’t last more than four minutes playing this before realizing it was unplayable due to interrupting ads.

### 1/5 — Unplayable

*2026-02-15, version 4.1.5*

Constant ads every few mins make the game completely unplayable 

Gave up after 10 mins of play with 4 adverts in that time

### 2/5 — Could be really good

*2026-01-29, version 4.1.5*

The premise and execution of the game is really good.  But the ads are so frequent as to make it unplayable.  I can’t even play it enough to work out whether it’s worth paying to remove the ads.  They’ve really shot themselves in the foot in their greed for advertising revenue.  A great shame, but I’ll be deleting this rather than carry on being bombarded with advertising.

### 1/5 — Way too many ads

*2026-01-24, version 4.1.5*

As soon as you start the game an ad pops up. I get trying to make money but jeez every time I wanna play I gotta watch a stupid ad… come on

### 1/5 — Way to many forced ads after

*2026-01-18, version 4.1.5*

Could be fun but forced ads after every 30 seconds

### 1/5 — So Many Ads

*2026-01-16, version 4.1.5*

There is literally a ad for some bad game like every 30 seconds, it’s so annoying when you spend your time watching ads longer than playing the game. It’s a fun and simple idle game but clearly it’s a front for spamming ads to bring income.

### 1/5 — My opinion on subway connect: idle metro map

*2026-08-01, version 5.0.15*

You can’t do anything yourself you are completely limited to what the game is telling you to do

### 1/5 — Pub!!!

*2026-07-31*

Impossible de fermer la pub le jeu est donc injouable

### 1/5 — To many ads you get one every minute

*2026-07-05, version 5.0.15*

Like I said to many ads makes the game feel unplayable

### 1/5 — Too many ads

*2026-07-04, version 5.0.15*

There are too many ads. You watch a 60-second video almost every minute. I understand that developers need to make money, but players also need to be able to play, and the balance in this area is currently broken.

### 1/5 — Werbung?!

*2026-06-19*

Gehts eigentlich noch? 1 Minute und 30 Sekunden Werbung? Dafür will ich Geld!

### 1/5 — Booooo

*2026-06-08, version 4.1.5*

This game is nothing more than a game to get you to watch ads. Even after purchasing the upgrade to remove ads, you still have an ad banner at the bottom. And the worst part is that the only way to add new stations in each city is to watch more ads. Or of course you could let your phone sit for hours with the game open in order to earn the money required to add a station without watching an ad. Awful.

### 1/5 — C’est trop

*2026-05-28*

Jeu sympa mais 1 pub par minute 
Ne pas télécharger ça pue

### 1/5 — Ads

*2026-05-27, version 4.1.5*

I can understand some ads, but it’s an ad every minute! You can’t even learn how to play and go through the tutorial without an ad. Then y’all want $3.99 for this, no way!

### 1/5 — Scam

*2026-05-25, version 4.1.5*

I purchased the no ads version and nothing changed. Still had ads all the time and even one ad car at the bottom of the screen preventing me from seeing anything to play. Do not pay for anything.

### 1/5 — Too many ads

*2026-05-24, version 4.1.5*

The sheer ammount of ads in this game is insane, you get MAYBE 30 seconds of gameplay before being forced to watch another ad, then you try to upgrade things and if you miss tap you watch an ad, the game is almost unplayable

## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated)

### 5/5 — Oh my god I love this game?!

*2026-08-13, version 5.0.15*

Because I love to connect the subway to a cities?!

### 5/5 — Best game I ever played

*2025-10-08, version 4.1.5*

Good worlds, good trams and amazing tracks of different kinds

### 5/5 — keep double money

*2025-06-03, version 3.1.5*

please keep double money

### 5/5 — Debug menu

*2025-03-19, version 3.1.5*

Love how they left the debug menu in so you can just double your money over and over again along with changing the time scale. 

Also really easy to block ads 😉

### 5/5 — Amazing

*2025-01-02, version 3.1.5*

I LIKE TRAINS

### 4/5 — Kinda fun

*2025-08-24, version 3.1.5*

Even though there is a lot of ads you can just turn off your wifi.

But the game is enjoyable, ads do come like every minute.

### 4/5 — Just an idea!

*2025-08-15, version 3.1.5*

Great game, fun to make all these train stations, but I would like this EVEN MORE if we could edit and make our own railways!

### 4/5 — Good game

*2025-01-09, version 3.1.5*

It’s a good game but the ads come to quickly but there is a nice glitch that is a good one for infinite money, I’m not sure if you know about it but I discovered it by accident.

### 3/5 — Fun, but issues

*2026-06-07, version 4.1.5*

First off, I’ll agree that their ad usage is ridiculous, but there’s a larger problem with this game that needs to be fixed. As you progress, it gets to the point where even after waiting for 2 hours, you can only buy 1-2 upgrades and then have to wait another 2 hours to have enough money to do anything else. The gameplay grinds to a halt (unless you watch countless ads to unlock more stuff). Please balance the game play to make this game worth keeping.

### 3/5 — I like your game

*2026-01-06, version 4.1.5*

I love the game but adds won’t work when you bout up the game after you for hour or two
