### 5/5 — Can you add an update so I can play off-line without Wi-Fi?

*2026-06-12, version 3.8.1*

I literally tried to play this game without Wi-Fi but it says network connection error. I really wanted to play it off-line, but it won’t let me. Can you update it?

### 3/5 — Great game but I suggest that it needs more things

*2026-06-06, version 3.8.1*

I suggest to add cars and road because towns and cities need people to go to buildings and like that. In fact, I suggest steam locomotives and freight trains because what will go wrong without it, and I suggest to add Plarail Railway train because I need more fun than real trains. But we can’t stop that decision there! Because I want to suggest crashing trains and intersections.

### 3/5 — Exploding train crashes cat

*2026-03-18, version 3.7.3*

Funny cat destroying model trains

### 5/5 — Good, and more Trainee-Like.

*2026-01-02, version 3.7.1*

This is a really good game, and it happens to be super trainee-like game, but I need The Tokyo Monorail because monorails are trains, and East I, Kodama (500 Series), the 0Series Shinkansen, and the H5 Shinkansen.

### 5/5 — Good! But just needs more things.

*2025-12-31, version 3.7.1*

This is a really good game, and i think that it’s one of the best train-related games that you can get on the app store. I just really wish there was a tutorial for spirals. And can there be steam trains too? And since there’s a cat feature, can there be like a dog and hamster feature? Can the dog be a pug and just look at the trains and just stare and not know what to do and the hamster just tries to be a train? Also can you make a train that kinda resembles thomas and his friends? Like a blue steam train, no face, but resembles thomas in the shape? And for the wagons can that thomas have orange passenger cars? And maybe make a green train that resembles percy and for its wagons can it have freight cars? And add a red train that resembles James and can it have grey boxcars? Thank you! Bye!

### 5/5 — 神戸電鉄を追加して欲しいです

*2025-12-27, version 3.7.1*

自分は神戸住みなので神鉄を追加して欲しいところですなるべく無料車にして欲しいです

### 3/5 — 最後で台無し

*2025-12-20, version 3.7.1*

猫出して暴れる前にセーブしたのにセーブをされていなかったそのせいで4時間かかった線路が台無し😑それがないなら⭕️
　
無料がいいもの➖　高架駅　名鉄近鉄の通勤電車

### 1/5 — Too many ads can’t see game

*2025-12-01, version 3.7.1*

Even after buying trains there are way too many too long adverts. Sorry but that’s a joke.

### 4/5 — 汽車がほしいです

*2025-11-18, version 3.7.1*

客や信号や片方の駅や、高い二つ駅や、機関車を追加してほしい。

### 5/5 — いゃあ、つくレールありがとうございます

*2025-10-17, version 3.7.1*
