### 4/5 — Great but glitches

*2026-08-28, version 2.6*

The game is broken because it now says 0 on all my reward timers but i can’t unlock them. 
 I also can’t get new buildings. My coins, coal, energy Chrystals, and wood counters all say 0 and i am worried the game may crash. Worst of all, I can’t accommodate any of my trains! Please fix it!

### 3/5 — No go electric.

*2026-08-18, version 2.5*

I just got the Grand central station and I can’t dispatch an electric train. Do I need to level up or get a item to dispatch my train you know the electric? Plz respond quickly

### 4/5 — Too many ads

*2025-04-07, version 2.0*

Too many ads

### 5/5 — I had to delete this game and redownload it

*2025-03-09*

I had to delete the game and redownload it because the game won’t let me in. I was at level 24 and I lost all of my data. It’s like always something bad would have to happen every time when I’m at a good spot. R.I.P. data, will always be remembered. This happened to me twice now. I’m never going to play this game until I want to again. It’ll probably be another decade.

### 5/5 — Really good game

*2024-11-29, version 1.7*

### 5/5 — Yes

*2024-10-28, version 1.7*

Metra

### 4/5 — This game is great, but it has some bugs

*2024-09-19, version 1.7*

I love this game, I’ve played this since I was 3 years old, but recently the game has been a little buggy. The worst thing that happened was the set route menu was broken and I couldn’t make my trains go anywhere but that’s fixed now.

### 5/5 — Really good game

*2024-09-04*

I have been searching for this game for years!

### 2/5 — Nothing shows up.

*2024-07-06, version 1.6*

Would have rated it higher until that weird bug happened which causes nothing to show up on the map, which was the reason why I rated it less because this bug destroys the most critical gameplay aspects to even do basic jobs.

### 5/5 — Chicago train

*2024-06-17, version 1.6*

Good

### 5/5 — The game is so fun

*2024-03-07, version 1.6*

Love the the game so far. But now on day 2 the rewards videos lock up at the end and I have to restart the game and don’t get the rewards.

### 1/5 — Opening the Game

*2026-01-28, version 2.1*

Right after tapping the app on the Home Screen it immediately went back to the Home Screen. Any way to fix that problem?  I can’t play the game at all unless there’s a solution.

### 1/5 — I’m LIVID!!!!!

*2024-05-12, version 1.6*

The game will no longer load, and I had ALL the entities… container, METRA, CTA, planes, even the cross country trains. All that, and I can’t load the freaking game any more!!!!!!!!

### 1/5 — I had to delete this game and redownload it

*2024-03-16*

It’s like always something bad would have to happen every time when I’m at a good spot. R.I.P. data, will always be remembered. This happened to me twice now.

### 1/5 — Ahhhhh

*2021-12-12, version 1.2*

The game is not working

### 1/5 — No passenger

*2021-05-31, version 1.2*

I have trouble got to the passenger train I try to click a route but it said “sorry something is wrong please try again” I keep trying and trying but no no no is always a error.

### 1/5 — Disappointed

*2020-11-16, version 1.2*

My 7 year old grandson found this game and loves it. He can only play it on my iPad, when we’re away, I play it(he thought me) and enjoy playing. Together we made it to level 21, have over 16,000,000 coins, so sad. However, the game has locked up 🙁. I have not been able to get any help from the company, I even messaged through FBMessanger, nothing. Very sad 7 year old.

### 1/5 — Metra doesn’t work

*2020-10-19, version 1.2*

Metra doesn’t work and that is the 2nd track of the game and it’s been a while and it doesn’t work and is now pumped full of ads

### 1/5 — Beware

*2020-09-02, version 1.2*

I paid $5.99 for gems and money and got absolutely nothing.  I wanted to let everyone know what a scam this app is.

### 2/5 — I am going to u guess to reach level 43

*2025-03-15*

But upgrading planes is not working I got 5,000,000,000

### 2/5 — It was good while it lasted

*2024-09-07*

As the game continues to be developed more and more adverts are being added. 
Yesterday I built up to just under a million coin and tried to buy my first additional yard. The purchase failed with a message about you have to have an engine working that yard (which people need to know about prior to trying to complete the purchase). But it still took the coin. So now at a loss of a million coin with no new yard. 
Game over, me thinks.

### 5/5 — Best Game And Worth Playing

*2026-08-20, version 2.5*

There’s very few ads you barely have to do anything except dispatch trains, and you can own Metra

### 5/5 — would give it a 1B/5 if i could

*2026-07-27, version 2.5*

awsome its the only one where u dont need to grind its perfect for railfans who dont like grinding and who like tycoons and want a grind-free tycoon

### 5/5 — The g.Tycoon.o.a.t

*2026-07-15*

At first I was stuck 1 car at a time and then I was in level 2 This is the best I am on level 3 and I am a good railway master therefore I will recommend this

### 5/5 — Great!!!!!😊

*2026-04-03, version 2.2*

Greatest train game ever!!!!

### 5/5 — Good game!!

*2025-12-17, version 2.0*

So, I downloaded this game a few days ago, it doesn’t disappoint! It has realistic trains (although Amtrak would be nice, I’m usually not one to nitpick). It also uses Google Maps, which was surprising. In my opinion, the game is really good.. (I used all the commas)

### 5/5 — Amazing game

*2025-11-26, version 2.0*

Love the game amazing trains but weird steam locomotives but still cool stuff man

### 5/5 — The best Metra or train game

*2025-09-27, version 2.0*

This is a good train game if there are haters on this game well then I’ll hate you so it’s a good game thanks for making it

### 5/5 — AUSOME

*2025-09-23, version 2.0*

All I can sag is…I LOVE THIS

### 5/5 — Amazing Game – I’d Love to Help

*2025-05-09, version 2.0*

“Hi, I have some custom train assets I'd love to share with you. Please let me know how I can send them to you—maybe through email or a link?

### 5/5 — I love the game, but make a collaboration of my little pony in it for a limited time.

*2025-04-08, version 2.0*

I really like it. But uhh, there’s no collaboration in it. How about my little pony? It would be nice if rainbow dash, applejack and fluttershy were engineers you know? I watched my little pony for the first time a few minutes ago. So please make a collaboration.
