Every single game I have to repick my color and character because it defaults back to the main default. I should be able to keep and use a player profile that saves my preferred trains, color, guy, etc. Also, I’d love stats from game to game. I need definitive proof that I’m much better at this game than my wife. ### 1/5 — Will not connect *2026-06-02* Was looking to buy the Ticket To Ride game on the iPad and came across the companion app so decided to buy the game on the Xbox and use the companion app on the iPad. Bad mistake and waste of money. The companion app will not connect. Connection issue every time! Tried deleting the companion app and reinstalling and the Xbox app. Tried Xbox on wired and wireless network connection. **Developer response:** Thank you for your review. We are sorry to hear that Ticket to Ride Companion is not connecting to your Xbox. This is not the experience we want for you. Please contact us directly at help@marmalademail.com so we can investigate the connection issue thoroughly and help get things working. We appreciate you trying all those steps and would love to assist further. ### 1/5 — love this game but the servers have been far too bad for too long *2026-04-19, version 1.10.3* :( ### 5/5 — Works good *2026-04-14* Idk why others have marked negative ratings but for me it worked well and nicely. ### 1/5 — Unbrauchbar *2026-04-10* Im alten Ticket to Ride war lokales Multiplayer einfach gelöst. Das hier ist komplizierter instabiler Mist ### 1/5 — Lobby nicht erreichbar, Spiel dadurch unbrauch *2026-03-17* Ich habe aktuell ein massives Problem mit der App: Es ist nicht möglich, einer Lobby beizutreten. Trotz funktionierender Internetverbindung (WLAN und mobiles Netz getestet), Neuinstallation der App und mehreren Versuchen mit verschiedenen Geräten, kommt keine Verbindung zur Lobby zustande. Das Spiel ist dadurch praktisch nicht nutzbar, da der zentrale Mehrspieler-Modus nicht funktioniert. Andere Apps und Online-Dienste laufen ohne Probleme, daher liegt es sehr wahrscheinlich an der App selbst bzw. an den Servern. Bitte dringend beheben, da das Spiel so keinen Sinn macht. **Developer response:** Hallo, vielen Dank für Ihr Feedback. Es tut uns sehr leid, dass Sie Probleme beim Beitritt zu Lobbys haben und verstehen, wie frustrierend das sein muss, insbesondere nach den vielen Versuchen Ihrerseits. Wir sind uns der aktuellen Probleme bewusst, die das Gameplay, einschließlich des Lobby-Zugangs, beeinträchtigen, und unser Team arbeitet aktiv an der Verbesserung der Stabilität. Wir implementieren weiterhin Fehlerbehebungen, um Ihnen ein zuverlässigeres Spielerlebnis zu ermöglichen. Wir danken Ihnen für Ihre Geduld, während wir an der Lösung dieses Problems arbeiten. ### 2/5 — O sistema cai o tempo todo *2026-03-15* Tento jogar o jogo com meu namorado e o sistema desconecta todaaaaa hora!!!!

Se continuar assim vou pedir meu dinheiro de volta **Developer response:** Olá, obrigado pelo seu feedback.
