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. ### 2/5 — O sistema cai o tempo todo *2026-03-15* Tento jogar o jogo com meu namorado e o sistema desconecta todaaaaa hora!!!! No início era bom, mas desde que a situação começou nunca foi resolvida **Developer response:** Olá, obrigado pelo seu feedback. Lamentamos muito saber das constantes desconexões, especialmente ao tentar jogar em grupo. Estamos cientes dos problemas que afetam a jogabilidade e nossa equipe está trabalhando ativamente para melhorar a estabilidade e resolver esses problemas. Entendemos o quão frustrante isso tem sido e agradecemos sua paciência enquanto trabalhamos nas correções. ### 2/5 — When are you going to fix it? *2026-03-15* Great game.

Bei Android schon… **Developer response:** Vielen Dank für Ihre Bewertung. Ticket to Ride Companion ist keine eigenständige App. Sie ist für die Verwendung mit dem Spiel Ticket to Ride auf PC und Konsolen gedacht. Mit dieser App können Sie die Karte ansehen, Ihre Karten platzieren und Ihre Tickets auf Ihrem Mobilgerät verwalten. Sollten Sie weiterhin Probleme beim Beitritt zu einem Spiel haben, kontaktieren Sie uns bitte unter help@marmalademail.com. ### 1/5 — Need to fix issue *2025-12-20* I bought the extras for the Ticket to ride app, so my friends could all play together with the companion app. It use to work that we get to see our scores on the main app when the game is completed. Now it doesn’t show us. I think the competition is the best part of the game. Knowing the score makes it fun. Please fix it. **Developer response:** Hi, and thank you for your review. We're sorry to hear about your recent experience with Ticket to Ride. To help us investigate and resolve the issue, could you please send an email to help@marmalademail.com with more details about the problem? We hope to hear from you soon! ### 1/5 — Beware *2025-10-28, version 1.9.0* Downloading this will charge you for $18.99 when you download it. ### 1/5 — Non funziona *2025-10-20, version 1.9.0* iPhone XR - iPhone 12 mini errore connessione lobby ### 1/5 — Used to Be Great, Now Full of Bugs *2025-10-06* I’ve been playing Ticket to Ride Companion for years, and it used to be an amazing app before it was taken over by the current company. Unfortunately, it has gone downhill since then. There are lots of bugs — the bots often hang or stop playing, and the “couch mode” settings have to be re-entered every single time, which is extremely user-unfriendly and annoying. The game just doesn’t feel as polished or reliable as it once was. Really disappointing to see such a great classic experience deteriorate like this. **Developer response:** Thank you for your review! We appreciate you taking the time to share your thoughts about Ticket to Ride Companion. We're sorry to hear about the issues you’ve experienced with the bots and the Couch Play mode. Please feel free to contact us directly at help@marmalademail.com so we can assist you further. We hope you continue to enjoy Ticket to Ride Companion and see the improvements in future updates. ### 1/5 — Connection issue *2025-08-30* Have just downloaded this companion app but it won't connect with the game (on PS5) not sure if the latest update has done anything to enable this as friends have used this app within the last month and it worked fine really hope this gets sorted **Developer response:** We're here to help! If you could take a moment to email us at help@marmalademail.com and share more information about the issue you've faced, we'll work diligently to find a solution. Your assistance is appreciated! ### 1/5 — not possible w/ 2 phones *2025-08-18* not possible to play on two mobile phones as it always asks for a main 3rd screen. WHY??? useless waste of money **Developer response:** Thank you for your feedback! Ticket to Ride Companion is designed to work with the Local Couch Play mode of Ticket to Ride on PC and consoles, and it isn’t a standalone game. The app lets you use your phone to view the map, place cards, and manage tickets while playing on the main screen. We appreciate you sharing your thoughts, and if you’d like more details or support, please contact us at help@marmalademail.com ### 1/5 — Ne fonctionne pas *2025-08-11* L’hôte de la partie peut difficilement jouer sur l’application companion, la partie principale buggue lorsqu’on change d’écran et à la fin, impossible d’avoir les scores et de savoir qui a gagné !

Merci de nous en informer afin que nous puissions améliorer notre service. Pourriez-vous nous envoyer un e-mail à help@marmalademail.com avec plus de détails ?

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* :( ### 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. ### 1/5 — Quase um mês se conseguir jogar direito *2026-03-15* 3 semana já só avisando que tá com problema mas não resolvem. Se continuar assim vou pedir meu dinheiro de volta **Developer response:** Olá, obrigado pelo seu feedback. Lamentamos muito saber o quão frustrante isto tem sido, especialmente com os problemas a persistirem nas últimas semanas. Compreendemos as suas preocupações e a nossa equipa está a trabalhar ativamente para melhorar a estabilidade e resolver estes problemas.

Agradecemos a sua paciência enquanto continuamos a trabalhar nisso. ### 1/5 — Unusable *2026-03-11* This app crashes everytime we’ve tried to use it. **Developer response:** Hi!

Would give 0 stars if I could. **Developer response:** Hi! We're sorry to hear about your experience.

We appreciate your patience and apologise for the inconvenience. ### 1/5 — Couldn’t Find Our Game Result *2026-03-07* It was hard to figure out how to use this app to join in the first place, because you have to keep switching back-and-forth on the main user phone between the main app and the companion app. Then, once the game was finished, it said to find the scores in the “main” app, but the game was nowhere to be found. The scores should be tallied and displayed for each player in the companion app! This is ridiculous and frustrating. We are going to go back to playing the traditional board game. ### 1/5 — Funktioniert nicht *2026-03-01* -5 Sterne… Verbindet nicht. Gibt nur Fehlermeldungen. Einfach nur schlecht. **Developer response:** Wir helfen Ihnen gerne! Bitte senden Sie uns eine E-Mail an help@marmalademail.com mit weiteren Informationen zu Ihrem Problem. Wir werden uns umgehend um eine Lösung bemühen. Vielen Dank für Ihre Unterstützung! ### 1/5 — Terrible app with no support *2026-02-20* Can’t even get through a game with my wife while sick at home.
