So frustrating!

Would have given this app a 5 star rating until I added my third ship. Now two of my ships are loaded and ready to sail but are frozen in the harbor. Hate when this happens in an app after you’ve achieved a certain level. Hope the next update fixes this bug.
6/18/2026 This game. Have played it and loved it but it is very buggy. It’s only getting halfway loaded now and then quits. Have tried different things to try to work around but no such luck. Hate to give up all the progress but that may be my only option now.

Bug issue

I love this game so much but I’m incredibly annoyed - I’m spending money to play and the app crashes as soon as I open it. Please drop an update.

Cute game

Kids love it

Epic American Game

I’ve loved many versions of this game, the original version taught school age kids history in a way they can understand. It taught bartering and actually what the pioneers had for meals, what skills were needed & everyday hardships!

Love it!

Love this game, and even if you have the free version with ads, it’s not so bad because you get coins after the ads.

Not really OG Oregon trail

All I’m doing so far is tapping where they tell me to tap. This is lame.

Ad city

The first time the game said ad break to me I deleted. It’s also a clone of sim city.

Scammers

I purchased two packages, the settlers pack first, and then it said it would give me bonus dollars so I purchased the trolley pack second. The first one was $7.99. The second one was $79.99. I did not receive any of the items that were a part of those packages nor did I get the bonus. I submitted a complaint to customer service and they responded asking for confirmation receipt, which I provided, and tilting point still did not refund my money or provide me the reward as I had purchased. Do not trust this game, and do not let them steal your money. I will be looking into getting a lawyer and pressing charges if need be for the theft.

Used to love it

I used to love this game. I've played it daily for years. I've accumulated special buildings, upgraded my barn many, many times. Joined a clan and was doing well. When I opened the game today, it was completely reset. I've lost everything I had worked for. I'm so disappointed. The only good thing is that I didn't spend any actual money playing the game. I guess I will be uninstalling it after this disappointment.

I miss the old game

I remember playing this game on the kindle the old version of this game you were some one who had settled in Oregon a you set up your own city, it let you build everything from scratch, it looked better and there was so much more content than a factory game where you grind for items to send people along the trail. This game has fallen so far. 🥲

Where do I start?!?

This game glitches so bad. I’ve been playing and cannot access my wagons. Don’t bet on getting a timely response from support or getting an answer on when something will be fixed. They are slow and don’t communicate well. They want you to buy everything but won’t even fix what’s broken! Let me access my wagons!!!!!

Forced ads

I loved this game, but deleted it because they included forced ads.

Too many interruptions

This game isn’t bad however, there are a lot of interruptions where they stop you from playing to tell you what to do. Additionally, you have to stop and watch ads randomly. The ads are too frequent.

Sucks

This game has a lot of ads & who needs a ad break for ?

No support

Several significant bugs need to be fixed and there is 0 customer support for this game.

Tough

This game has terrible glitches! I’ve only been playing about a month or less. I’ve had to contact support for problems with the videos in the theater and the merchant shop. Now I’m having so much trouble in the clan competition!! What is wrong with this game??

get rid of ads

game is fun but not good enough to be worth the ads every 2 mins even with the 25 coins or paying.

Lost interest quickly

Every time I started to enjoy the game a forced ad brought everything to a halt. This game could be fun but I’ll never know.

Used to be fun

I loved this game for a couple of years, but recently they introduced non-optional ads that show up frequently. The last time I played, the ads forced their way in every 3-4 minutes. It was beyond annoying and I will be deleting the game.
