update question
the buildings trains connot displayed normally after the update
Could have been fun
I have already spent $30 and cannot advance. Loved it while I could, 2 hours total!!!!!
50/50
The game is pretty good, however. I wish I were able to play it on the MacBook

Sort of fun but major money grab
The game was fun for a bit. After a while it became a major money grab from the devs and it kept overheating my phone
Pretty fun
Nice
Can’t do anything
Now the Send button does nothing and my city is green semi-transparent squares where buildings used to be. I have been disappointed by this game now too many times and I am just going to uninstall. I really wanted to like it because I love trains and love sim games.
It’s okay, I guess
I have on,y been playing about an hour but already I am very turned off. I haven’t even really leveled yet and am working through initial tasks. But the hurry up and WAIT is super real. Yeah, it’s 30 and 45 seconds every few minutes but you can’t multitask while waiting. This is at the beginning. Can you imagine how long the waits will be later on? And don’t worry, I am sure they sell speed ups later on too. I get making money with the game, why else make it. It seems you have thousands loving your game but I can’t find the dopamine early on, you asked for money super fast, and the waiting so early on has really made me cringe at the idea of continuing to play. Pretty graphics.

Age verification?
Um, no. I don’t care if there is an age limit in Brazil, I’m not sharing any info to play a stupid game.
Intuit
I don’t mind watching ads but they allow Intuit to place an ad that you can never get out of. It has tiny x’s and it always pops open the browser. Worst kind of click bait there is.
Unfair Event Coin Policy
I spent actual money and a lot of time trying to earn event coins to buy a new engine. The event ended and the store to spend the hard earned coins closed. I LOST IT ALL! Even though it was attached to actual in game purchases. This bad practice on their part. I can’t see any in game notifications that I would lose it all. This is unacceptable and unfortunate because I was really liking the game. I feel like I was robbed and that there’s an Apple App policy that they’re close to violating. IDK

Great for Freemium Players
Most games hammer you with ads. This game ties them to extras. I gladly tap on them to get the extra stuff.
The feedback after the update at Sep 2026
Finally, I decided to leave the game. This game is toooooooooo tired to play. I need to play it as a full-time job: everyday at least 4 times to watch the ads collection and other. So tired. I hate the new version to ask must use one kind of train to do the events tasks!!! Tooooo tired. THIS IS A GAME NOT A JOB!!! NO WAY!

Not recommended for new players. Good game, but the developer is getting greedy.
It is a very fun game - great graphics, good storylines (though recycling special event storylines isn’t cool), and an interesting concept. However, the developer is not being as subtle as they think they are when it comes to more aggressively monetizing the game and people are going to start walking away, myself included. If you’re a new player, I wouldn’t waste your time with this game.
Examples of the overreach include:
-Requiring fuel type matching on trains in the latest event
-An annoying dark pattern where an ad button with a very low yielding in-game reward appears right over top of freight drops
-the recent modification of the tasks system - this has done nothing but slow down game progression and push people towards purchases
-increasingly long and intrusive ads. Eg Candycrush ads that are borderline malware - ie they open browser windows without user interaction or consent
-restructuring events to make them more difficult to finish (eg requiring multiple fully upgraded trains to progress past event freight runs)

Too Cluttered
Too many icons on the screen clutter it up and interfere with game play. Often there are 6 or more icons which are all geared to getting you to spend money, and add nothing positive to the gaming experience. The end user should be able to dismiss these.
Money Grabber
Hard to advance without spending actual money. Levels get increasingly difficult without any benefit. Easy to lose joy in this game.
Why this game should set a new standard for app gaming
It’s most likely, that you have played a game that will force ads on you, drain your finances, and attempt to make you stay online for hours. That is not at all the main experience here.
Train Station 3 is different for the right reasons. No forced ads, slow and reasonable progression without paying, and lets you out the phone down.
Not only can you enjoy looking at the trains you get, play with them in a mini delivery series, and enhance them to take on greater tasks, but you also get to experience all that at no extra cost. There are trains that you can buy that can speed up gameplay or do more, but nothing stops you from taking on similar projects. Even as a non pay to play person, the progression lets you put the phone down. Which is such a relaxing feeling.
You are not forced to play the game or complete quests in an unreasonably short amount of time with pay walls to complete/participate. Instead, you can complete your progress within about 10-30 minutes, and put the phone down to come back later and play.
In the game, you will run out of gas, workers, and durability on locomotives but they all regenerate overtime. The best function is that if you wish to play more in a single sitting, you can watch ads or pay for more resources. Buuuut you can also use that opportunity to put your phone down and relax! There is not a time crunch in the game!
There are events that are weeks long and allow you to make slow progression and achieve realistic upgrades for your locomotives without having to pay to play.
I look forward to more of what this company has to offer and their evolutions of trains in this game.

Great game, spoiled by severely bad performance
New update today, with performance improvements - here’s hoping it is true. Download complete and performance is worse than before the update. Now there are long delays after touching the screen before something happens and sometimes being sent to iPad Home Screen without touching any part of screen. When I can get through to the support page in-game and try to contact support, just told to troubleshoot. This does nothing for my issue. I’ve freed up more space, running on lowest graphics settings and still same issues. Comments in the App Store show the game works on this iPad - well it can run, but very intermittent as to how long it runs for. Shame as the performance is ruining a decent game.

Great game
I really enjoy this game, the graphics are really good and the story lines are entertaining. In app purchases aren’t bad, can be a little pricy but some good deals.
Battery hog
Pretty cool game, although it's a horrible battery hog, and heats up my phone like nothing else I've used (iPhone 16 Pro Max). The inventory system is a little wack - why do I have to take 100 widgets when I only need 10.
Expensive
I just started playing, and it has possibilities. However, the trains consistently go down for maintenance, you run out of fuel fast, you need more trains, or the capacity of the production centers need an upgrade. Sure, you can wait forever for maintenance to be done over night as it takes five hours per train (and use them maybe one time before they go down again) - or you can spend $2.99 here, $1.99 there, or buy a “limited edition” train for the low price of $19.99. I’m all for people making money on their developments, but give me a break as every time you turnaround there is a payment prompt. I will be deleting this.
