I went back to look for this game as it was one I really enjoyed playing and I finished it in 2011, but I am not able to download it as the developer hasn’t updated it for the latest iOS. Please update this fantastic game! ### 5/5 — Great game *2022-06-15, version 1.66* I remember playing this game on my iPod touch years ago. It was my favorite game. I still check regularly to see if it has been updated. I really hope an update is in the works ### 5/5 — Simply brilliant *2022-01-12, version 1.66* The purpose of this review is to express my appreciation to Matt Rix for designing this game. Trainyard and Trainyard Express are the best logic puzzle solving games I have ever played. Game design is extraordinarily elegant and functional. It is not a memory hog or data collector. Solutions depend upon reasoning, not chance. Multiple solutions can be correct. Increasing game complexity is explained as it is introduced. And it is fun! Note to any other review readers: I have this game on a very old ipad. If you are fortunate enough to have an operable ipad with an old OS (3 through 8 are best; you can still manage to play with workarounds on OS 9 and 10), then download and enjoy. ### 4/5 — 32 bit *2022-01-09, version 1.66* Great game, but needs update for 64 bit ### 5/5 — PLEASE READ: *2021-07-21, version 1.66* I never write a review but this needs to be heard this was one of the best games I have ever played and that’s saying something because I have played over 1000 games and this comes nothing near it because it’s so much better you need need need need need to update this read the reviews with everybody else’s reviews because this game is absolutely amazing ### 5/5 — Bring it back! *2021-06-22, version 1.66* This was the best game. I hope it covers back one day. Matt, you’re game is amazing ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Excellent *2024-04-09, version 1.66* The game is great. It's just a shame that we can't play it anymore because the creator hasn't made an update. Really disappointing to pay for a game that you can no longer use🙁 ### 1/5 — Update the game! *2022-06-19, version 1.66* Update the game!!!! ### 1/5 — Needs update *2018-04-18, version 1.66* Need supdate to iOS 11 ### 1/5 — STILL WAITING *2018-02-21, version 1.66* I don’t know how long “coming soon” had been posted for the update before I saw it, but I’ve been checking once/week for several months for the update. C’mon now. Today is 02.20.18. iOS 11 has been out for quite a while now. ### 1/5 — Doesn't work on iOS11 *2017-11-30, version 1.66* Not supported by iOS11. ### 1/5 — Brilliant game *2017-10-24, version 1.66* Love the game giving it 1 star as there hasn't been an iOS 11 update as of yet :( when there has will be a 5 star game again ### 1/5 — Big white rectangle of broken *2017-07-23, version 1.66* Game seems great, but something broke recently (judging from review dates). Cant get more than ~10 levels in before an empty white box appears over half the screen, with no controls, no way to get rid of it, and no way to continue the game. A shame. Don't bother until there's been an update. ### 1/5 — Fix the bug *2017-04-18, version 1.66* I bought the paid version thinking there would not be the same bug as the free version. After we solve a puzzle in the tutorial section, a white box appears in the upper left corner and everything freezes. What can fix that? ### 1/5 — Seriously? *2016-09-26, version 1.66* I want SO BADLY to rate this 5 stars, but I keep experiencing glitches that occur after like 30 or so puzzles that completely hinders me from being able to continue or back out. I have to force close the app to resolve it and then manually navigate to the next puzzle. This was one of my favorite games about 5 or six years ago and I was so excited to have remembered the name to redownload it. I have tried deleting and reinstalling to no avail. I have only lost my progress. I am not even sure if anyone operates on this game anymore, but as I just paid for the Express version, I would really appreciate it if it worked. ### 1/5 — App is broken *2016-09-11, version 1.66* Used this app on previous devices without any problem. Used to be an awesome app. However, tried using it again on iPhone 5S and it doesn't work properly. Upon successful completion of a level, the app crashes. You can't do anything as it locks on the completed screen. The only way to move into the next level is to close the app down and re-open. This isn't specific to one level, same for all. Gutted and will probably delete as not fit for use anymore. Shame. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Please update this app to work pm the latest iOS! *2025-11-27, version 1.66* Please update this app to work pm the latest iOS! ### 5/5 — Update please *2025-11-06, version 1.66* NEED THIS UPDATED I CANT LIVE WITHOUT IT ### 5/5 — Please I beg you *2025-10-09, version 1.66* Update or put me out of my misery ### 5/5 — Best game ever! *2025-07-12, version 1.66* Please update to work on the latest ISO ### 5/5 — Update please!!! *2024-08-24, version 1.66* This is one of my all-time favorite challenging games.
