Best game for iOS *****
by Raiyou Adare 

Simply the best thing I've seen on a mobile platform! It's more than a train simulator; it's a train experience. With the layout creator, you can really go crazy! Plus you can run your very own shortline picking up and dropping off cargo. I don't care who you are, you'll spend hours playing this game

The best app in the entire App Store *****
by Maus009

Great Graphics, runs smooth, adds a lot of stuff that wasn't there in the first version

Fantastic *****
by TrainMasterJack 

This new version is superior in many ways to its predecessor. The DLC content is also amazing because you get more steam locos and new maps as well. I highly recommend this app to any train lover

Great!!! *****

I love this game. The only thing is that my phone get too warm. Maybe is because I play this game every time that I can :)

With new graphics and new content (including steam engines!!!) Trainz Driver 2 is a worthy upgrade for any train fan. Now with multiplayer and amazing world building tools, you can drive, build and share your love of trains with enthusiasts from all around the world.

Based upon the best selling Trainz Simulator 2 for iPad, Trainz Driver 2 delivers powerful yet easy to use world editing tools: 
* lay track, signals & track markers
* sculpt and paint the terrain
* add scenery, buildings, fences, roads & traffic
* select from a huge variety of trains and rolling stock to set up your driving experience
* issue commands to each train to customize each driving session
* upload your creations to the Download Station 

Combined with Trainz Simulator 2 for iPad, you can expand your route with interactive driving sessions using additional rules and commands, then share with others via the DLS.

Multiplayer lets you drive trains with both Trainz Driver 2 and Trainz Simulator 2 users. Arrange to play with your friends or join an existing game and participate in co-operative sessions, chatting as you go using iTrainz Chat.

Includes routes from USA, UK and Australia along with fictional "arcade" sessions for extra fun and excitement. For the first time, steam engines are included in the core app along with detailed tutorials to teach you how turn a tender full of coal and water into the power required to haul freight and passengers over a variety of routes. Of course a wide selection of diesel locos, freight wagons, tankers, passenger cars and more also await the aspiring train driver...young or old.

### 3/5 — Great game. But it has some flaws.

*2026-08-15, version 1.0.8*

1. For some reason, the multiplayer sessions don’t work. Including the ones that I bought. (Could you try and fix that please?) 2. The microphone that I sometimes use to spell out words I have problems spelling. Every time I use the microphone, it always mutes the background noise in my game. (I don’t why that’s a thing, but if it’s another bug in the game, then I think you should try and fix it). 3. I would like to see some more steam locomotives to be added to the game such as, the LMS Ivatt class 2-6-0 (since you got the tank engine so you got to have the tender engine as well) the GWR 1400 (because Oliver is a GWR 1400 and you’ve also got ducks basis in the game as well) the USATC S100 and the SR USA class dock tank (both British and American versions) the B&O C16 (because I love that steam engine due to how adorable they are) and I don’t care if you add them in as the tank engine version or the rebuilt tender version or both, and I also would love to see the BR Class 08 in here as well. 4. Redesign the Baldwin 2-6-0 tender engine to have visible numbers and change the cab design so it’s not the same as the 4-8-2 mountain type or the UP Big Boy because reusing cab designs on steam locomotives is kind of lazy. 5. More narrow gauge rolling stock, locomotives and routes in Trainz Driver 2.

### 4/5 — Steam

*2026-08-07, version 1.0.8*

Not enough sea engines have to buy steam engines from store hard to create an account

### 3/5 — Good game, though:

*2026-08-07, version 1.0.8*

Definitely a nostalgic throwback to the early Trainz games on the PC! Though I have had some experiences where I would purchase DLC from the store and would be unable to drive some of the locos I had purchased. I don’t know if some are just engines you can only view in the Railyard or are supposed to driveable. If anyone could be of hand, please tell me

### 5/5 — Best train sim ever

*2026-07-31, version 1.0.8*

I liked all of the details but I would like more options for trains and rolling stock

### 1/5 — Needs a new update for a glitch

*2026-07-30, version 1.0.8*

Ever since the new update came for the first time in 6 years I tried to play the game and I can’t even get onto toe loading screen. It just kicks me out of the app. Even though I bought $90 worth of train for the app itself.
This game sucks!!!

### 5/5 — Good game but

*2026-07-25, version 1.0.8*

This game is good but the fact that it has been abandoned for 4 years is bad it’s gonna have code rot so if you want a good review go back to this game it is a hidden masterpiece so please
.

### 4/5 — Fun game but major problem

*2026-07-21, version 1.0.8*

Half the time the trains don’t even start when I put the throttle to 100, please fix this it’s a really annoying bug

### 1/5 — Everything is failing! SCAMMED!

*2026-07-13, version 1.0.8*

The game is starting to fall apart. DLCs are disappearing and the game is crashing once in a great while. DLCs aren’t downloading or going to the downloading pop up screen. All of my DLCs disapeared.  PLEASE FIX THE GAME BEFORE IT DIES COMPLETELY! I’ve lost 14 dollars for 2 DLCs that never loaded. (P43 loco pack) and (CSX 1900 Seaboard Airlines)

### 5/5 — Halloween events

*2026-07-13, version 1.0.8*

Add the clinchfield 311 demon on October

### 3/5 — Pretty good but

*2026-07-12, version 1.0.8*

It’s good but I bought an ride the super liner 1 and 2 and summer steam freight and it says file not found wtf
