### 3/5 — Inverter sounds and design of train models

*2026-03-16, version 4.51*

I like having a Japanese based game and I understand it’s a fictional version the Tobu lines. However I don’t like the fact all the train models have the same inverter as Tobu 50000 series and all the others don’t have their own inverter sound as they do in real life. I also wish that the Tobu 9000/9050 series trains were 10 car trains as making them only 6 cars doesn’t give them much express or Rapid express opportunities to Yorri Machi which I find insulting to the train given they are big part of the Tobu Tojo line and pass through the Yurakucho, Fukutoshin and Tokyu Toyoko line. If you could replace the 10 car 8000 series trains for a 10 car 9000/9050 series and give each train their real life inverter sounds, I would enjoy the game more

### 4/5 — 床下とか、なんか物足りない…。

*2024-11-26*

車両や背景は完璧なんですけど、車両の床下（台車含む）の機器類を、例: train drive 2.3みたいな、箱型？みたいのを付けたら、クオリティが上がると思います！あと、これに関しては、個人的の発想です。ズーム機能や、駅の番線看板・広告・天候が、私には欲しいと願ってます。気が向いたら、追加してくれますと、私的には嬉しいです！以上です！。

### 5/5 — 東武スペーシアx出して欲しいな

*2024-10-21*

レビューしてみた感想は、東武スカイツリーラインとか東武東上線とかが混ざってて楽しいし、田舎の路線とかあってスペーシアとかあって良いなと思ったけど、もっと色々な車種を出した方が、色々な人がやる気が出ると思います。まず、東武20400型は、6050系次の新しい車種としてデビューして、東武500系は、連結したまま後ろ3両は、6050系が発着している駅まで前3両は、藤原温泉までで、東武特急として2023年7月15日にデビューした東武スペーシアxをデビューさせれば人気になると思うし、僕自身も嬉しいから案を出してみました。みんなが良ければ出してみて下さい。停車駅は、何処でも良いです。

### 5/5 — 古き良き名作

*2024-10-05*

2作目と並びiOSで出来る最高レベルの鉄道運転シミュレーションゲームだと声を大きくして言いたいです。

10年くらい昔にリリースされたゲームですが、まだまだ遊べます

6両から10両までいろんな車種を運転できるのが楽しいです。どの車両に当たるかは運ですが、2×5の10両や5000系(50000系)のビシッと決まった10両などさまざまな編成があり楽しいです。
現実さながら、PCでできるシミュレータのような超リアルな物理演算による加速と減速には今でも驚かされます。

欠点をあげるとするならば、走行音が特急列車以外全て同じだったり、ブレーキを完全に解除した時しか寛解音が鳴らなかったり、10年近く前からそのままのモデルなので仕方ないといえば仕方ないですが、床下が板ポリでスカスカな事、編成がランダムなので特定の編成で遊びたい時がちょっと不便だったり、6050系は寄居町より先でしか運転できないので、編成を自由に選べるようになって欲しいくらいです。

これらの編成を選びたい問題以外は全て2作目で解決されていますので、今後のアップデートでよりクオリティが高くなる事を期待しています。

### 5/5 — Really good train simulator

*2024-09-24, version 4.51*

This game is a really good game but I only want to be able to control the doors they open automatically on this game and add passengers but otherwise amazing game and can’t wait to keep playing.

### 5/5 — 神

*2024-09-10*

神しか言いようがない。120キロ走行最高

### 5/5 — リアルで楽しい鉄道シミュレーター

*2024-08-12*

まだ買って時間は経ってないですがとても楽しく遊んでます！急行や区間準急とかあるのがとてもいいです！買って得でした！

### 5/5 — Magnifique

*2023-12-23*

Ça fait des années que je joue aux trois Train Drive ATS et franchement je crois que c’est réellement la meilleure franchise… 

La seule chose qui manque ce sont l’ouverture et la fermeture des portes

### 2/5 — Waste

*2023-09-04, version 4.51*

The game is great but only one problem.I bought the two upgrades and I still don’t have flight mode and it make meh sad

### 5/5 — Good game

*2023-07-01, version 4.51*

Good game

### 5/5 — Train

*2022-12-15*

Est-ce que on peut faire un train drive ATS 4 dans l’Europe et ect et des TGV Inter cité TER

### 5/5 — A really well-developed game

*2022-09-06, version 4.51*

This game is so fun to play if you have some spear time on your hands. You can play this offline as well. 

Here are the pros:

1. Nice varied amount of services + scenarios on a detailed map 

2. Lots of different stations that house their own, unique character. No two stations are the same 

3. A long train line to drive, stretching from Asakusa Motomachi in the South to Yorii-Machi in the north, representing a typical Japanese line. 
 
4. 3 different kinds of trains 

5. A working timetable that haults suddenly at 12:00 (I’ll get to that later) 

6. Some pleasant scenery in the North

Cons: 

1. Why does the train timetable suddenly stop at 12:00? 
I would like it very much if we could have the train time running from 04:00- 00:00. This way, we would be able to have 2 rush-hours 

2. Why is there a blue octagon when I scroll down and look at the sky? I think you should remove that and have a proper sky with clouds. 

3. The building and train texture is very 2D. It would be greatly appreciated if you could remodel the map into 3D, with working train doors, animated people on the platforms, Cars on the roads, and realistic trees and mountains. 

4. The disappearing track at Hon Narushima 

When you get to the section between Mushashi Arai and Karawasa, there is an elevated section at Hon Narushima. Just before the station, a track is to be seen stopping right before it joins onto the main tracks. This track could be used as an underground terminus area for Local and Semi Express services for Hon Narushima. 

In general, this simulation is very fun to play. The closest I ever got to the blue triangle at the stations was 0.003 meters.

I hope you take this review into consideration for things to add to the game, because it seems as though you published the fame and then left it for all these years. Thanks for reading

Super simulation ,mais j’aimerais de nouveaux trains + nouvelles lignes !! sinon c’est parfait.

### 5/5 — Opinion on Train Drive ATS

*2021-12-12, version 4.51*

So I’ve played this game for over 6 years now (when the lite version was still available) and I was fascinated by the graphics of the game. It made it look like a special train game on the App Store. But there were 2 problems when I played the full version.

1 When a new update came, I would sometimes lose access to the trains in this and 2, which would result in deleting the app and replaying the scenarios in order to have access to them again.

2 The map and sound effects seem to glitch often, at least for someone using an iPhone 8 like me. Please fix this ASAP if you can.

Other than those problems, I enjoyed playing this game, as well as Train Drive ATS 2 & 3.
But if there’s one thing I’d ask for, more stations/lines for this game and 2 and a 4th game. Thank you ;)

### 5/5 — Needs the update

*2021-10-19, version 4.51*

The whole ATS series is great! Hoping for a 4 or new additions to the current ones!

### 5/5 — Probably the best train sim for mobile ever!

*2021-10-17, version 4.51*

I really love the train drive series, it has been made by really dedicated people and is not some like some of the other “simulator” games that you can get. Although it’s old, its still really fun.
The only issue I have is that I wish the render distance was extended as often trains just appear and vanish out of nowhere which breaks the immersive experience. Almost all devices now would be able to handle it.
Other than that, I love it!

### 5/5 — Bahnspass pur

*2020-12-28*

Kein anderer Simulator bietet einen so interessanten Betriebsablauf. Das Verhalten der Züge ist sehr realisitisch. Nur die Auswahl an Strecken ist eher mau. Wünsche mir sehr, dass es noch mehr Auswahl geben wird.

### 5/5 — Train Drive ATS

*2020-12-17*

If the developers can add more graphics to the game than it would make it more enjoyable 👍🙏🏻

### 5/5 — 추천합니다

*2020-11-25*

되게 리얼하고 플레이하기 좋았습니다ㅎㅎ

### 1/5 — Where have they gone?

*2019-06-11, version 4.20*

Replaced my iPad last month (May 2019) with the latest version,  expecting this app to run even better, but all my routes and departures have gone bar one. I now have one departure on one line, instead of dozens! Have I been fobbed off with a demo version? It looks like I’ll have to retain my old iPad just to continue to enjoy this app even though the timetable comes to a halt at lunchtime.

### 1/5 — 酷いアップデート

*2017-05-09*

楽しいアプリだけに今回のアップデートは本当に酷いものです。
6050系を運転できないという言葉がApp Store内の1カ所にしか記載がないというのは問題ではないでしょうか？
すれ違うだけの電車に誰が課金するのでしょうか？「運転できない」とはっきり記載知るべきです。返金してほしい位です。
あと今回のアップデートで運転中の電車を外側から見れるように視点を変える事が出来たように記憶していますが、それが無くなっているような。

特急を走らせていて思ったのですが、12:00近くのダイヤであんなに電車が詰まっているのはあまりリアルではない気がします。
あと、上鉢形〜治良門峡の間で25キロ走行の区間がありますが、なぜその速度なのか理解できません。すごい山間を走っているならともかく、それなりに家もある林の中という風景ではなおさら疑問です。
特急運転の醍醐味が減っていると感じました。
とはいえ、何度やっても飽きないゲームです。

第三弾も期待しています。

### 1/5 — Not happy

*2015-01-03, version 3.31*

It doesn't work for doing challenges and it's way to exspeive

### 1/5 — Its not worth for that price

*2014-10-15, version 3.31*

This gme is not worth for that price, not change, not rain, night,cloudy, morning,snow..... Not indise view form the inside like driver. Waste game

### 1/5 — Viel Geld für Wenig Leistung

*2014-09-25*

Stolze 8 € werden hier für ein Zug simulator  verlangt  dass eine Grafik wie auf einem Atari aus den achtzigern hat . Fix auf iOS 8 auserdem fehlgeschlagen beim drehen des iOS Geräts bleibt das Spiel  wie zuvor stehen als ob man eine Ausrichtungssperre drin hätte . Und wenn man nach links sehen will schaut man nach rechts und umgekehrt. Einstellmöglichkeiten nicht vorhanden . Hinzu kommt Das sämtliche Anzeigen wie Entfernung zum Bahnhof zug Länge  und so weiter nicht leserlich sind da sie von der Uhrzeit des Mobilfunkanbieter des iOS Geräts Netzempfang  usw Über deckt werden. Und die kostenlose Version bietet auch nicht wesentlich weniger . Weitere Mängel: Sicht des lockführers nicht einstellbar. Fazit : weggeschmissenes Geld maßlos überteuert für schlechte Qualität eine Frechheit!!

### 1/5 — Dumb

*2014-08-13, version 3.21*

This is a dumb game you have to do what it says or the game ends.  And it's in Japanese and not English

### 1/5 — This game is boring

*2014-07-21, version 3.21*

I tried this game and it was so annoying and boring that I want my eight dollars back and why I'm rating it one star

### 1/5 — HORRIBLE SAVE your money

*2014-06-27, version 3.21*

This app is good just not for 9 dollars. you cant understand announcents DONT BUY

### 1/5 — Waste of money

*2014-04-07, version 3.21*

Pure waste of money! Lite version is better! Half of the runs start at the end coming into the last station! Pure glitchy! Don't waste your money. Very disappointed!

### 1/5 — VERY poor! (Game crashes EVERY time)

*2014-01-31, version 3.21*

Unable to start any scenario. Game crashes every time on iPhone 5 and iPad mini. Money back please! Same issue was experienced on the lite version, I thought the full version would stop this. It hasn't.

## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated)

### 5/5 — SO DAMN GOOD WE NEED MORE EXTENSION

*2026-05-18, version 4.51*

WE NEED AN EXTENSION ON BOTH DIRECTIONS ON THE LINE PAST YORU MACHI

### 5/5 — Excellence Japanese and a magic game

*2025-05-25, version 4.51*

I love the sequels as well ,there should be a 4th sequel

### 5/5 — シナリオの不正行為

*2025-05-09*

シナリオ13 905レ 急行 寄居町行き/5004レ 快速急行 浅草元町行きで、1200点が満点なのに、Game Center内で2人ほど、満点を上回る結果を出しているプレイヤーを発見しました。満点より高い点数を取っているプレイヤーは不正行為の可能性が高いと思いました。上手に運転できたのに不正行為をした人のせいで順位が下がってしまう人たちがかわいそうです。不正行為をしたプレイヤーの、ゲーム使用停止処分をお願い致します。

### 5/5 — Good

*2025-04-04, version 4.51*

Good

### 5/5 — プレイ時間

*2025-02-16, version 4.51*

プレイ時間をせめて14時までにして欲しい…

### 5/5 — My Amazing Experience With Train Drive ATS

*2024-12-20, version 4.51*

Hello. I hope the developer of this game sees this, but I would also like others to know. This game was way ahead of its time on its release. The physics engine, maps, stations, and trains are so ahead of its time. This game was released back in 2012, and I remember playing it as a kid who just liked trains. Out of all of them, this was by far my favorite. I remembered the name all through these years and just now decided to get the full version. So nostalgic, and genuinely fun for the right audience.

### 5/5 — 列車の混雑を緩和させるために

*2024-12-17*

1．明神前駅の2面4線化を実施し早朝の列車渋滞を緩和

2．板橋中央駅に区間準急〜通勤急行を停車し、優等種別を優先的に終着駅へ運行させ、浅草元町直前の列車渋滞を緩和

3．板橋中央駅では、普通列車は退避がある場合、優等列車を先行させることを基本とし、優等列車が直前に迫っているにも関わらず、普通列車が先行することは有事の場合以外は取りやめに。ダイヤの見直しを要望。

4．武蔵新井〜浅草元町間の複々線化（優先！）

4が難しければ1〜3の対応をできるだけ取り入れて欲しいと思います。個人の案があったら一緒に使ってみてください。

次回のダイヤ改正やアップデートの際にご採用いただけると幸いでございます。

### 5/5 — 複々線区間と新型車両を導入して欲しい

*2024-11-05*

ゲーム性は楽しく、運転も楽しめています。
ただ、2車線の為、どうしても渋滞が出来てしまうので、複々線区間を増やして欲しいと思いました

### 5/5 — Update

*2024-10-30, version 4.51*

I really think this game is fantastic! It has so many engaging elements that make it enjoyable to play. However, I'm quite surprised that it isn't updated more frequently. It feels like there is so much potential for new features and improvements. I wonder when we might expect to see some updates or perhaps even a fourth version of the game? It would be exciting to see what new content could be added!
