The track looks the same shade of orange like the hot wheels track Thomas can push a trailer or train in front of him ### 4/5 — I❣️ THIS APP! *2026-08-26, version 2025.3.0* I’m not gonna lie, this app is crazy F.U.N.! However, I think you can add another set and that set could be called “Duck’s Musical Ride with 5 minis and 3 blue prints. Forgive me for this. P.S. happy 81st anniversary. ### 3/5 — Money *2026-08-24, version 2025.3.0* I used to love this game when I was little but now you need to pay for new worlds and other trains ### 5/5 — Used to love this game when I was younger *2026-08-23, version 2025.3.0* This is such a good game still ### 5/5 — Rate *2026-08-22, version 2025.3.0* Rate ### 5/5 — Peak *2026-08-20, version 2025.3.0* This was so good during my childhood ### 5/5 — 𝓜𝔂 𝓻𝓮𝓹𝓸𝓻𝓽 *2026-08-19, version 2025.3.0* I love it ### 4/5 — At least it’s cheap *2026-08-15, version 2025.3.0* Cheaper than Dash ### 5/5 — I like it so much budge makes the best games *2026-08-14, version 2025.3.0* I like it ### 4/5 — Thomas and friends *2026-08-12, version 2025.3.0* Thomas and friends is a British children’s tv series ### 3/5 — Nice Game but something’s off. *2026-08-10, version 2025.3.0* So yeah, When I got the game on my IPad back in June, I thought I would have to earn some golden gears for track pieces but no, they gave me everything, then I played it on my not updated phone and I had golden gears but then we had an update for it and then no golden gears. So I would like you to bring back golden gears, and the train collection shelf too since that’s gone too. Everything else is great and I love this game and you’re other games too! ☺️😄 ### 3/5 — Thomas & Friends Minis *2026-08-09, version 2025.3.0* It’s way better than RaceCraft. ### 5/5 — Love this *2026-08-09, version 2025.3.0* I used to have this when I was young like age 6 and now I didn't have this app and I saw it and I remembered this and I downloaded this app and I love this and this gives me some memories thank you -Nathan 💙🎮 ### 5/5 — Good *2026-08-08, version 2025.3.0* What the title says ### 5/5 — Thomas minis glitch. *2026-08-01, version 2025.3.0* The game is nice but the engines won’t go on the rails. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Sucks *2026-08-27, version 2025.3.0* Have to pay to get better trains and tracks ### 1/5 — Great game *2026-08-21, version 2025.3.0* Great game ### 1/5 — Pay 😡🤬 *2026-08-14, version 2025.3.0* Stop making people pay for lights to work in a different way ### 1/5 — Cannot share in-app purchases with Family Sharing *2026-08-11, version 2025.3.0* I had previously bought in-app purchases on my account but cannot share on my son’s account despite having Family Sharing enabled. I might have considered just buying it all again but you appear to have now gone to a disgusting greedy subscription model, and there is no way in hell I am going to pay for that. ### 1/5 — Cool game but… *2026-08-04, version 2025.3.0* Cool game but one downside.

I am not paying 10 dollars and them 20 dollars. That’s bull#&#t. Can we get this for free? ### 1/5 — CAN YOU FIX THIS?!! *2026-07-10, version 2025.3.0* Why is the downloading time 2 mim?
