### 4/5 — Error bugs on screen

*2025-07-24*

I am enjoying TDJ5 but recently I see a couple red bug icons on the screen. I have been hauling coal to the power plant. Before, when I got back to the coal plant, I could reload the empty coal cars, complete with a moving dump truck bringing more coal from the mine. Now the cars can’t be reloaded. Is there a fix in the works?

### 2/5 — Well this was a flop

### 1/5 — Worst trainz driver journeys game ever

*2026-04-18, version 1.0.0*

In the session harbour master you get kicked out of it even though there is a sign saying go Bad game.  Now the session is basically unfortunately Unplayable

### 1/5 — Worst trainz driver journeys game ever

*2026-04-15, version 1.0.0*

In the session harbour master you get kicked out of it even though there is a sign saying go Bad game. Please fix this.

### 1/5 — Needs update

*2019-03-27, version 1.0.0*

Every time I start the app the sound would not play

### 1/5 — Harbour master bug

*2019-02-02, version 1.0.0*

Harbor master mission can’t be completed. Where is the 2nd train? Junctions don’t change.

### 1/5 — Incomplete / Buggy

*2018-07-31*

This is an incomplete game.  Some scenarios do not work entirely.  Others are buggy throughout.  It is obvious the developers just rushed this out to make a few dollars.  If they put the time into it it could be a really good game.  Very disappointed.

### 1/5 — Incomplete routes, major bugs

*2018-07-10*

The harbour master session is incomplete. After you drop the first train at the dock, your told to go back and get another train. Well that train doesn’t arrive it’s not there. But the game tells you that you’ve connected to the invisible train and are ready to depart. But there is still no train to connect to. Sounds don’t always work, and the sessions have a hard time loading. Wish I could get my $.99 back as this app is not worth it at all. They should be ashamed to sell people things that don’t work.

### 1/5 — Full of bugs

*2017-12-30*

I used to play this all the time on my pc but on my iPad 4 it's unplayable,freezes up sound of train keeps going weird etc,shame as I bought all of them at the same time

### 1/5 — Horrid

*2017-06-11*

It's a shame the game is good but so many issues! Game only uses one map, game has issues with things going missing on the screen such as the acceleration and brake they just vanish off the screen and can't stop the train. The screen moves at times away from your train and u can't see what's happening! So many issues I wouldn't waste your money try something else

### 1/5 — Very buggy.

*2017-05-11*

This app tends to crash a lot. Some of the missions are either unclear or don't work. I would not recommend this unless they fix it.

### 1/5 — Скудно с поездами

*2017-03-01*

Зачем ставить на иконку то, чего нет в игре?

*2021-01-26*

Love the train I play with the every day and I wait for new one to come out so I can buy them but it time for and train like MTA or NJT train service or cxs trainroute

### 5/5 — Trainz rule

*2021-01-11, version 1.0.0*

I love this game. I’ve made so many movies with this game! I would give this 10000 stars if I could.

### 5/5 — Trainz 2 for iPad

*2020-11-22*

This app allows you to invent new worlds with its own scenery, its own roads and rail lines.   And a large industry base for making and using many products. On top of all this the train engines and cars are by far the most realistic when compared with any other railroad available to iPad apps. 

Too bad you can not share any of these assets, like the ship from Driver 5, with simulator 2 ipad mobile.  You purchase different parts of the game, but they can not be shared.

### 5/5 — Fun
