Sadly it has been unable to open since I downloaded it. Hopefully the designer will update. If the app becomes usable I will update this review. ### 2/5 — Hard to tell if it’s working *2018-03-20* Setting up a game is easy enough, but actually running one is a nightmare, with barebones tool tips. Claims to support most 18xx but actually appears to miss several points (1800 bonds and 1846 share price lowering as examples). Can’t see what’s in the bank or set up blocked corps for low player counts. Also appears to list an unpurchasable IAP in regards to bookkeeping. ### 2/5 — Close but not quite *2016-01-03* App looks lovely but DOES NOT WORK for me. On iPad Air 2 running iOS 8.4.1, can build map, set player holdings, stock prices, etc, but when trying to calculate earnings it seems to work... Until I click 'done', at which point nothing happens and I need to kill and restart the app. Additionally, the 1830+ variant "Nobody Expects the Canadian Pacific" is broken - the app will not let me play the variant Boston/Baltimore tiles, and several other variant tiles are missing. The variant New York brown/russet tile is in but it will only let it be played as an upgrade to a non-NY green city, NY is forced to use the Classic NY tile. ### 3/5 — 18NY *2020-04-11* I tried using this for a 18NY. Cool interface. It did not have the crows foot upgrade. (#52). Could not use the program to play the game. Maybe it can be upgraded. ### 4/5 — Decent complement to moderator *2020-05-20* It works well to calculate and keep track of route values. In fact, it’s very close to being useable for online play, but not quite, since it doesn’t “remember” who has the priority deal, but I understand it’s not advertised as a complete online play package. Would be nice some day, though... I guess it would work to share the SurveyParty file and a separate spreadsheet in a shared google drive folder or something. Also, it would be nice for this app to include descriptions of the minor companies and their abilities. All in all, good show! ### 4/5 — Great *2016-09-09* iPad on iOS 8, can't exit the earnings screen ### 5/5 — Super useful and lessens downtime significantly *2016-12-09* Since we started using Survey Party, we've spent much less time recounting the same routes every turn and downtown is significantly reduced for players. We don't tend to use the stock tracking aspect of the app, but I appreciate the option. One negative aspect (that doesn't affect my rating) is that there is no option for 1844/1854. The maps for this specific version are slightly different, so we can't use the app when playing these 18XX titles. ### 5/5 — Don't play without it *2016-11-02* I've now used Survey Party for 1889, 1830, 18MEX, 18FL, 1844, and Steam over Holland. With the exception of 1844, which had a routing bug that was quickly fixed, it has worked amazingly well. I only use the route calculations, as the other features are too cumbersome to keep track of during play, but they work well and save so much time, especially during the endgame. I also like to use it to figure out what track can be laid where, and how much runs will be if I do this or that. It can lead to AP, but I think the time saved is definitely greater than the time lost by doing so. My sincere thanks to Antti for making this available, it's well worth its cost. ### 5/5 — Latest update fixes crash *2016-09-18* Would be nice to have the option to use the original(standard) Avalon hill track tile numbers. Latest update fixed crash. Other than slow down in late game calculations works great upping to 5 stars. Working well would like to see 18Neb and 18PA ### 5/5 — best app ever *2016-06-15, version 1.7.2* just discovered this app. if you play 18xx games it's a must have. ## Most praised reviews (1 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Need it! Awesome! *2016-06-04, version 1.7.2* If you play 18xx, any title, this app let you save the state of the game. I usually use it to test best route. Yes! The app calculate the best route for companies. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/). User reviews are verbatim App Store reviews.
