I wasn't taking damage from speeding or using the brakes too often like I just started to lose money for no reason I used to be at $500 but now I'm at -2000 if you see this developers, please fix it ### 4/5 — Love this game!! *2024-01-14, version 1.5* I love this game but I’d like to see more. Add multiple stops for freight missions and more trains. Let’s put someone in the cockpit as well, time for update🙃🙃 ### 4/5 — Good but slow to progress *2023-08-12* It’s a good game but it takes so long to progress and earn money that you lose interest. Need to be able to sell trains and rolling stock. Steam engines would be a good feature also ### 4/5 — An update and map expansion *2022-10-15, version 1.5* Hello of what I am saying about is the map. Well the map could use a bit more out westward and a new update on graphics and surroundings in game. Also a bit more trains to select from but of what I’m saying is it needs and update for the graphics and map.thank for your time and I hope you see this and update the game. Thank you😁 ### 2/5 — I’m Late *2022-04-15* Ik I’m late to this game but when I first joined all I see is black Then I click the cab view then it’s fine???! ### 2/5 — Review *2022-04-02, version 1.5* Not as good as it could be, many things missing like headlights on on coming trains, no bell, and real railroads mix locomotives in consist regularly. Just to list a few issues. ### 3/5 — Kinda good *2022-01-09, version 1.5* Its kinda food by you have to get gems to actually drive different trains and its hard to get gems and also its the same train horn for every train so idk ### 4/5 — Very good and simplified railway sim, but can be improved *2021-12-09* First off this shouldn’t be called a game so much as there’s little point to it. It’s closer to a real sim, starting out its easy to get lost on the layout and run out of fuel making the train immovable. It should have a tutorial mode of sorts with a reset option to allow people to understand they need to pay attention to refueling and repairs as well as about track switching to position the engine before setting off for a mission. Took me a while to understand these things, I assumed being a game once I selected a mission I could just set off for the next location. It would also be good to allow for multiple engines and mixed passenger & goods carriages and be able to do mixed missions. I dont mind the long time it can take to run a mission, and the focus it requires. Might be nice to have other country maps/trains, maybe steam era too, and enlarge the map maybe double size to allow extra towns/missions. What about time critical /real world missions. I’m not American dont care about US sports, but what about around the real time event to have a “Superbowl” mission, requiring a larger passenger capacity and arriving at the superbowl city by a certain time for everyone to get to the event on time. Failing to get there on time would mean a reduction in mission payout plus reducing the high paying missions on the next selection? Maybe it could be a reputation feature, so failures mean you are forced to do a heap of small missions successfully to rebuild reputation before the biggest/special missions are offered to you again? Should be fairly simple to the game mechanics without over complicating things beyond reality. In real life important/special runs are offered to the companies best engineers so it fits without becoming too fictional or gamified. ### 5/5 — 😒less glitchy more angines *2021-11-05, version 1.5* Needs more engines like maybe steam. Also it glitched one day and now im like 72890 short so MINUS this is stupid and frustrating also can you please make it so you can make a consist with more then 4 engines ### 2/5 — Cadê as atualizações para melhorar o jogo? *2021-10-05* Falta de detalhes, ajustar o som dos motores das locomotivas são todos iguais ### 4/5 — Train simulator pro *2021-07-28, version 1.5* This train simulator is awesome but it could use some improvements. The first one is you should add more cities to go to like some on the west coast like L.A. Another improvement is to be able to go into the cab car and see what it looks like in the inside, and thats everything. ### 2/5 — Lies *2021-06-13, version 1.4* It don’t have interactive levers ### 5/5 — Needs more locomotives *2021-04-13, version 1.4* Game is great, but I think there should be premium locos and some steam engines. But overall the game is great. Maybe add a derailment mode for fun. Keep up the good work. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Oyun açılmıyor *2025-03-12, version 1.5* Oyun açılmıyor tamamen rezalet ### 1/5 — Scam 💰 *2024-12-17* COMPLETE SCAM. This is a very cheap and useless game and is not worth the price at all. Don’t fall for the pictures and videos, they are just false advertisements. First of all, you cannot even let you change the weather you drive in. Secondly, the game doesn’t let you choose your starting location on the map. Thirdly, the graphics are pretty trash. I don’t expect the graphics to be anything crazy good as this is just for phones and tablets but it doesn’t match the photos on the App Store. And lastly, the stupidest part, it has a RIDICULOUS in-game currency that takes you forever to earn and for just ONE Amtrak locomotive, it is 610 diamonds 💎!! WE ARE ALREADY PAYING GOOD MONEY FOR THIS GAME and you STILL have to collect and earn stupid coins and diamonds to get locomotives and train cars and do missions! Absolutely insane. This is a complete scam and waste of your money. Don’t learn the hard way and the make the mistake I did! There are so many better Train Sims to choose from. Some are free too! ### 1/5 — Junk! *2022-05-24, version 1.5* Waste of money waste of money waste of money waste of money waste of money waste of money waste of money waste of money waste of money waste of money waste of money waste of money waste of money wasting money waste of money waste of money waste of money with the money waste of money with money waste of money waste of money The game is crap it shows that you only have 3600 tokens after one round. The game is a scam don’t download please pretty please and I wish .there was a zero star ### 1/5 — Money system broken *2022-05-11, version 1.5* I’ve tried this game multiple times in the last few months. Everytime I do a mission I go further into debt. Help me please. ### 1/5 — Game *2022-03-02, version 1.5* I want my money back ### 1/5 — 사용자의 보유 코인 오류 *2022-01-09* 기차를 수리하기 위해 지불할 코인이 마이너스 기호인 -로 표시되어 기차를 수리 할 수 없습니다. 당장 도와주세요. ### 1/5 — Don’t waste your money *2021-05-14, version 1.4* I can’t believe I wasted my money on this pile of filth game, that’s if you even want to call it that. It is a waste of time and you need money to continue with most things you would think for the price there would be a lot of features, but guess again NOT with this game there isn’t, DO NOT BUY THIS GAME! ### 1/5 — Okk *2021-02-14, version 1.4* U can’t de-Attach your engine ...... ### 1/5 — Деньги на ветер *2021-01-11* Игра идиотская просто выброс денег поезд вообще не поворачивает на лево вообщем не вздумайте покупать ### 1/5 — O jogo tá chato não tem atualização *2020-12-23* Não tem atualização ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Love this game but I have something to say *2026-02-02, version 1.5* When I was drive my train like regular then a hill and it just stopped and I am a train master and did everything to make it go uphill and I’m still at the spot ### 5/5 — Best train game ever *2025-05-24, version 1.5* This is the best train game I’ve ever had but just one thing it could use a bigger map ### 5/5 — Bug Report – Grade Crossing Horn Issue in Train Pro 2018 *2025-05-22* First off, thank you for creating Train Pro 2018. It’s still one of the most enjoyable train sims available on iOS, and I really appreciate the effort you put into making it realistic and engaging. I wanted to report a bug that still affects gameplay, especially for those of us who enjoy longer trains. The issue happens when pulling a consist with 31 railcars or more. If you go slowly over a grade crossing, the game gives a citation for not using the horn, even if the horn was sounded correctly when the locomotives first approached the crossing. This seems to occur when the last railcar is going over the crossing, almost like the game expects the horn to be blown again at the end of the train. It's a small bug, but it impacts the realism and penalizes players unfairly for following the rules properly. If there’s any chance this could be patched in a small update, I’m sure many fans, myself included, would really appreciate it. Thank you again for your work and for continuing to support simulation fans over the years! Best regards, JellyJam91 ### 5/5 — Excellent *2023-04-08* Jeu pas très facile au début mais après un bon petit jeu de simulation avec de bon graphisme. Il manque le français mais on arrive à comprendre quand même. Il vaut son prix. ### 5/5 — 無料版の方が *2023-01-23* 性能良くなってきてるし エンジンオン オフできる こっちは買う必要性が無くなってきてる ### 5/5 — GG But needs more *2023-01-19, version 1.5* Hi. 1. I would like you to make all trains free and get infinite of them. Add a creative mode and a career mode 2. And I would like you to expand the map. 3. We need multiplayer so people can play together 4. We need more camera views with inside of each train passenger car and a free roam view. 5. I want an outside area with your own person that you can decorate with coins 💰. 6. I need a lock/unlock feature for multiplayer so other people can enter your trains. 6. I would like usernames. 7. I need more trains there should be FREE and infinite as well. That’s all and thank you for letting me review. Please update the game soon!

And I would like that because we could enjoy the game more like 10/10 from 100/100 because if we could also make are own track routes to that would be amazing but I love the game keep up the good work ### 5/5 — Boss *2022-05-02, version 1.5* Me and my friend play italot together it is AWESOME game🚅👍😀 ### 5/5 — Great but could be better *2021-11-10* I love the way you have to earn your stuff on here by completing missions for money. Makes the game very fun. Please update to have more train models and expand the map more west. This game has so much potential if you was to add the west coast us and connect it to what is already in the game, it would make this game so much cooler. Plus adding a few newer train locomotive types would be cool as well. For example, taking an Amtrak type locomotive passenger train from New York to LA or Chicago to LA would be an interesting mission on the game. That and delivering freight coast to coast would be fun as well and imagine the different scenery’s you could add if you included the desert and Rocky Mountains. Just the thought of it makes me excited. Please update this game!!! The ability to choose the colors of your locomotives would be a neat feature as well and maybe a logo… I’m just throwing ideas out there but please consider that coast to coast map at least… that would make it so much more fun. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
