Amazing App
by Pocket Planes = :-) - Version - 1.0.4

This app is absolutely amazing! Although it is not as detailed as computer versions are, it is amazing what they have done considering this for iPads/iPhones. It is very engaging and very fun!! Up The Mountains Part 1 is one of the scenarios that is available for purchase (only 99 cents!), and it is an amazing scenario. The Al traffic is amazing and it is Avery fun scenario. I would very highly recommend Trainz Simulator 2!

This game was the first EVER game I’ve played (besides Roblox). And I was GLUED to it by the time I moved my first TRAIN! But! There is just one problem… (well two if maybe) Can you add car shaking and non-fading horns? Cause it’s kinda unrealistic. Can you PLEASE AND THANK YOU? Fix these very important, LIFE CHANGING…issue? Thanks!

### 5/5 — This game is great

*2026-08-13, version 1.0.8*

I love how there is actively new content being added that is high quality although this game has aged I would say it’s still worth getting you can create your own maps and overall its a good game however after a certain amount of detail is added the game bugs out and barely loads much of the map and is very glitchy if you could fix that issue then that would be great overall 4 stars good game

*2026-08-05, version 1.0.8*

I suggest these stuff: Add back winter in the alps. Put another horn on the tgv thalys and the white tgv. It does not sound well. Add SP SD40-2/SD40T-2s and a Kodachrome livery too. Make a route and add Cab forward, 844, 3985, And the other big boy version. Can you remove the error when I go in and it kicks me out?
