### 4/5 — Great game!

*2026-09-02, version 1.11.0*

I only have one suggestion to really improve the game. When you have the five faceup cards you can draw from, many, many times four of them are the same colour and neither player wants that color. So we go through most of the game, never being able to pick up one of those cards, we always have to draw from the turned down deck instead. When you play the actual board game, you’re not allowed to have more than two of the same colour trains facing up. I don’t understand why they don’t have the same rule here. They really need to fix this glitch because it’s very annoying.

### 4/5 — ELO Needed

*2026-09-01, version 1.11.0*

Wiping out your performance metrics every month is infuriating. A Chess.com ELO system should be in place. Otherwise the game is great.

### 3/5 — New glitch

*2026-09-01, version 1.11.0*

Over the last few days, have had several glitches—one in which you cannot claim a route that uses the wild card and another in which it says not enough of a color to claim a route (when have more than enough).  Happens near the end of the game, not consistently.

### 3/5 — DLC overpriced

*2026-08-30, version 1.11.0*

Solid app but the DLC is crazy expensive and theres no account syncing with the PC (Steam) version.

### 2/5 — Not as good as the old app

*2026-08-28, version 1.11.0*

I prefer the original Ticket to ride app. This version isn’t as good, and now I have to repurchase all the expansions. The other app was easier to see the trains and see where your routes are.

### 4/5 — Great game

*2026-08-11, version 1.11.0*

The physical board game is always annoying when it comes to checking final scores and calculating everything, and this makes it soooooo much easier. On the other hand they’re kinda just squeezing as much money as they can out of your wallet because they literally charge more than the game costs just to get a new map.

### 3/5 — Additional Cost to Play

*2026-07-21, version 1.11.0*

Game is great, but was incredibly disappointed to discover that after paying the £4.99 for the game I then have to pay at least £29.00 to get the maps!! Should be obvious at purchase and very expensive for what it is…!

### 4/5 — Needs new ranking system PLEASE

*2026-07-07, version 1.11.0*

The cumulative stars ranking system on multi-player is not competitive at all. Players who play a lot of games, even if they have zero skills or intelligence, end up getting stars over time. Intelligent players might have low stars because they play a lower volume of games. 

Please introduce a more competitive ranking system besides stars, where the increase or decrease in rank is relative to the rank(s) of your opponent(s). I miss the old ranking system! It actually felt exciting to play against high-rank players. 

If possible, introduce a chat! I understand chats can be problematic, but there are ways to mitigate this / censor speech. Even if the chat was limited to emojis, that would be something. It is not fun to play online without any means of real-time communication.

### 4/5 — Happyhappyhappy

*2026-06-30, version 1.11.0*

so fun

### 4/5 — Fun but add ons

*2026-06-28, version 1.11.0*

It fun to play but sad to find out their additional paywalls after the original 4.99 price. I guess it makes sense as it creates base level for minor players. But still disappointing when you see an add for an additional 30 usd prior to playing your first game

### 3/5 — 3 star now.

*2026-06-27, version 1.11.0*

Game mechanics are good, but oh boy… childlish graphics, animation and UI ruins this title. Please take some ideas from the old version.

### 4/5 — Please allow backbone controller support

*2026-06-17, version 1.11.0*

Please allow backbone controller support

### 5/5 — Well Done

*2026-06-14, version 1.11.0*

A well done conversion! I hope the developer will revisit the implementation of cards in the players hand; I found it hard to tell how many cards of a certain color were in my hand with the small number indicatior

### 4/5 — Good game but add-ons $$$

*2026-06-14, version 1.11.0*

The base game is good and well worth $5 but the add-ons are pricier as are character portraits, alternate trains, etc.  Catchy music, though.

### 5/5 — Great teacher

*2026-06-12, version 1.11.0*

I was hesitant to buy the real thing and got this to learn and now ima go get the real thing and have this when I travel around I definitely recommend this such a useful app

### 1/5 — Europe Map

*2026-09-10, version 1.11.0*

Buying Europe map which is very expensive and never play online? Also, if there are to train lines next to ea h other with different colours and one of the player is using one, you have no chance to complete your ticket. 4 players, easy to block you. The game is wrong than the oldest on. I have the game board at home and the rules are wrong on the app

### 1/5 — Constantly Kicked Out

*2026-08-10, version 1.11.0*

Great game, plays well but in every other game it freezes or kicks you out so it’s frustrating.
I have the paid version and it happens constantly. Waste of money and time.
Additionally, the Nordic map is horizontal! 
Absolutely ridiculous.

### 1/5 — Impossible to Win

*2026-08-07, version 1.11.0*

I’m a pretty skilled player in real life against real people, but this app has made it extremely difficult to win.

The route card draws don’t feel random (skewed in favor of AI players, and against me), AI players are able to collect the colors they need far faster and easier than I can, and here lately, AI players only seem interested in keeping 3-4 route cards while collecting as many colors as possible and dropping their trains all in rapid succession to score a ton of points. Can’t tell you how many times I’ve completed 8-9 routes, and still lost by 40 points to an AI player who completed 3, but racked up 95 points. Sure, it’s a strategy to win a game if you can collect a bunch of color cards, but it’s the virtual equivalent of losing a video game to a kid who does nothing but button mash. I’ve even tried to use this method against the AI, but it doesn’t work, because I can’t collect colors fast enough, and the routes I’m given are short ones worth very little points most of the time.

This app used to be a fun way to hone my skills against real life players, but it’s next to unplayable now.

### 1/5 — Misleading

*2026-08-05, version 1.11.0*

This game only includes USA base map, which is misleading since the same game on LUNA gives you almost all of available maps as part of the amazon prime; might as well call it TICKET TO RIDE - USA

### 1/5 — Horrible update

*2026-07-19, version 1.11.0*

The colors are to close together. Hard to see my route. Way more confusing. Want the old one back.

### 1/5 — Disappointed

*2026-05-27, version 1.11.0*

This game is so fun so I keep returning to the app anyways but I have to reinstall it every few games which is ridiculous for a paid app

### 1/5 — Not worth it.

*2026-05-20, version 1.11.0*

You pay $6.99 just for one map. If you want the others they’re at an additional cost. The developer doesn’t tell you until you’ve already bought it. Everything is behind a paywall.

### 1/5 — Awful

*2026-05-13, version 1.10.3*

New marmalade app would not work when put onto 2 iPads next to each other.  Not sure if they’re both “days of wonder”, but the old days of wonder app was so user-friendly and it worked well. Very unhappy.  I regret purchasing two apps, one for myself, and my grandson.

### 1/5 — When will it work again?

*2026-05-10, version 1.10.3*

Can’t play it at all and it has been such a long time!!! Why pay money for game that does not or will not work. Can I get a refund? When will this game work or will it never be fixed? If it will be fixed how long does it take? Why so long? We should all ask for refunds!!!

### 1/5 — Cards Not Random

*2026-05-04, version 1.10.3*

I'd give this game a 3 or 4 out of 5 (losing stars for terrible server lag) but ALL stars are taken away for the non-random nature of the card draws. Is that cheating or just a lame way of tipping the scales for a crummy AI model? Either way, it's deceitful and unlike the board game. 

I'll never consider buying a game from Marmalade Game Studios again and will reconsider buying anything from Asmodee or Days of Wonder, in general. 

Now get ready for the uninspired boilerplate response from the company....

### 5/5 — Sooo good

*2026-08-30, version 1.11.0*

So good

### 5/5 — Pass

*2026-08-19, version 1.11.0*

Pass is way too expensive and plus I already bought it for my Xbox I think this should be linked to that somehow

### 5/5 — Special interest

*2026-08-19, version 1.11.0*

I’m autistic, I love trains, I love board games, I have the original game on my shelf. I love that this is mobile, I can play whenever I want and it’s easy to navigate. I also have it on pc! The only downside is I had the original mobile (and pc) games and they terminated the multiplayer without any compensation or discount to buy it again. Still an amazing game!

### 5/5 — Just my opinion

*2026-08-11, version 1.11.0*

It would be nice if there was an option to opt out of bots joining your game. I would rather wait for real people to play with. I used to be able to tell by the names used that it was a bot and I would resign from those games, but now it seems like you’re using all sorts of names, hard to identify who’s real. It’s very annoying the way the bots play. They often take the spots on routes that are most important to link anything before anyone else can get to them.

### 5/5 — Best game EVER

*2026-07-29, version 1.11.0*

Honestly, This is my favorite game. I actually have the board game too. On the app you can buy (real money)  different places. The point of the game is to play all your trains and to finish all your routes. You get different colored cards for different color spots. And you get the amount of card of how many spots there are. There are rainbow cards which is a wild. So fun!

### 5/5 — Love this game

*2026-07-21, version 1.11.0*

They’ve made this game so easy to play and user-friendly. I enjoy playing it every day while I eat my lunch.

### 5/5 — So much fun

*2026-07-19, version 1.11.0*

I downloaded the game and let my sister play, she loved it. Everyone in my family now plays and we play together with extended family and friends.

### 5/5 — 100

*2026-06-29, version 1.11.0*

💯

### 5/5 — Like the Board Game — Fun!!

*2026-06-21, version 1.11.0*

Very similar to the board game — except a computer does all the dealing, shuffling, and scoring! Fun!

### 5/5 — Awesome game

*2026-06-14, version 1.11.0*

I love it my only issue is it’s so addictive!
