### 5/5 — What a time saver

*2017-07-15*

Thank you for designing this. Must have for Rail Baron players.

### 5/5 — Awesome companion app to Boxcars!

*2016-02-16*

Although this app is made for Rail Baron, it works just as well for Boxcars. Although Boxcars has an official app, it takes a lot of the fun out of playing as you don't roll the dice to get a new destination or set a hometown. This app lets you roll and then makes the lookup much easier. My only complaint is the use of script makes it a bit ugly.

### 5/5 — Perfect compliment to Rail Baron

*2014-12-29*

Works perfectly. If you play rail baron, this is a must have.

### 5/5 — Great helper for game

*2013-12-29*

Saves a done of time (and your eyes) when performing a look-up on your payoff(s). Not sure if its compatible with iOS 7.x. yet, but will (hopefully) post my results soon.

### 5/5 — Convenient

*2013-03-12*

Makes playing Rail Baron so much easier with quicker access to Payoffs and destinations. Now if there were only a Rail Baron app for people to play..

### 5/5 — Finally!!!!!!!!!!

*2012-12-11*

I have been waiting for this app for a long time. This app makes it easy to play the game.  it will be awesome if someone make an actual rail baron game for iPad

### 5/5 — :)

*2012-10-06*
