### 4/5 — Sorry

*2024-09-30, version 6.9*

This is great can’t wait to download whopping planes

### 4/5 — Amazing! Just a few tweaks

*2023-08-11, version 6.9*

I would personally like more steam engine videos. This is great to bring on long car rides

### 5/5 — Get for toddlers even children with autism!

*2021-02-17, version 6.2*

I (and toddlers alike and no I am a 12 year old still using this.) get entertained with the trains, even I know most trains here!

### 3/5 — Used to be great

*2021-01-23, version 6.2*

The sounds do not work at all, even the background music does not play (yet, I toggled the switch). I tried reinstalling the app and am still having the same issue. It’s a different experience when you can’t hear any of the train sounds. I saw another review with the same comment, but my device is not “somehow muted”. This has been going on for months and the sound hasn’t magically “come back”.

### 5/5 — Neknonrev

*2020-09-03, version 6.1.3*

A game for children.
But the videos and photos are fantastic for train lovers of all ages.

### 5/5 — Trains

*2020-04-08, version 6.1.2*

I love this application but I want you to make a app what’s called steam trains galore

### 5/5 — Fun

*2020-04-05, version 6.1.2*

I know it’s supposed to for toddlers but I love all the trains in it! Good for toddlers and rail fans.

### 5/5 — Sound.

*2020-02-04, version 6.0.4*

Can’t get sound to play

Ok but sometimes glitches out of the app and can't pause the videos.

I love train because

### 5/5 — Trains for kids

*2018-12-23, version 6.0.2*

As a model railroader, I enjoyed the video and there was a fantastic model railroad included. In a future new version, it would good to have descriptions of the trains to explain to a child what pantographs are. A lot of ads.

### 4/5 — Great Entertainment

My little guy loves the videos. He has learned match shape with the puzzles. Great Job!!!

### 1/5 — It’s not downloading

*2022-08-23, version 6.9*

This game looked amazing I was looking forward to getting it but did not let me get it game is a piece of glitch Ness you should probably delete it!

### 1/5 — Updates cause app to freeze 🙁

*2019-06-10, version 6.0.3*

Updates cause app to freeze

### 1/5 — I paid...but tapping full-screen sends me to pay.

*2018-11-11, version 6.0.2*

Not cool.

### 1/5 — Terrible

*2017-07-10, version 5.5.10*

These other reviews must be friends of the developer. There are three things to do and all are overrun with Ads by Google. If my toddler was able to avoid clicking an ad, he still wouldn't enjoy it.

### 1/5 — Keeps crashing

*2015-05-31, version 5.1.2*

Crashes after couple of seconds when we try to watch the videos

### 2/5 — Ok

*2021-08-31, version 6.9*

No sound

### 2/5 — so good

*2019-09-20, version 6.0.4*

my kids love it

### 2/5 — Misrepresentation

*2015-06-15, version 5.1.2*

Bought the pro pack - still have ads and still don't have full screen (it says check device settings - that's BS) - don't buy it!!!

### 2/5 — Almost Awesome...But Fails

*2011-11-14, version 1.2*

This is SUCH a cool app!  It would be five stars and my three year old's favorite, EXCEPT that it is almost impossible to not get bounced out of the game!  There is a comparatively large banner ad across the entire bottom that bounces you out, and there is a drop down menu on the top with three buttons that will bounce you out.  Very sad, guys!!  I'm fine with an ad, but put the links somewhere harder to get to.

Having said that, there are both videos and pictures of actual trains in this ap, which make it very cool for any kid that likes trains.

I seriously hope they change the ad structure, so I can rate it 5 Stars!

### 2/5 — Just pictures of the trains

*2011-09-21, version 1.1*

This app consists of only pictures of the trains/engines. You could get similar pictures just by a google images search or visiting some fan's photo album. If there would be information on what kind of train it is and some info from wikipedia, would have made app very useful for the kids to learn about the trains. (In fact thats the reason I installed this app, but I am removing it now, till I see these updates. Pro version is coming, don't know what the author is adding apart from 150+ images.

### 5/5 — Best train app ever!

*2024-08-06, version 6.9*

Wow, we love this app 🤩

The trains are so varied and cool and from places we might never get to see in real life. I love that there is a mix of videos and stills, and the images show a range of landscapes, environments and seasons.  And the ‘buy once keep forever’ approach is kind and generous. Thank you for making and maintaining Whopping Trains, it’s really appreciated :)

### 5/5 — I loved it since I was a little child although I think there could be more videos

*2024-07-02, version 6.9*

I’ve loved this app ever since I was a child had certain videos. I recognize that still exist in this app, and all of which, as far as I can confirm can be found on YouTube and each video as seen in this app, the person who originally uploaded that video on YouTube has been credited and to be fair. I definitely think this could use a bit more videos in that I used to have a YouTube channel myself and I did have a few train videos, including footage of the Union Pacific, but sadly got terminated for violating YouTube community guidelines although I plan on making another YouTube channel at some point however this is possibly gonna be after I’m done making this movie of mine which is also gonna be planned on being on my new YouTube channel so I was just thinking maybe you should add a bit more videos to this app along with some videos that I predominately find nostalgic mainly LEGO DUPLO certain Lego train videos GeoTrax certain Thomas and friend videos along side was Chuggington videos and of course this popular online series called the railways of Crotoonia and it was created by Canadian YouTuber Milan Prsa and it contains a lot of train characters from all sorts of pieces of media with talking trains, which not only just includes Thomas and friends and Chuggington, but it also has ones from Dumbo the Easter Bunny’s coming to town Tugs the little engine that could basically both adaptions of both films and loads Moore. Oh yeah this app could also use some of the videos it’s previously used in some of the older updates because I would like them to come back, including images too etc

### 5/5 — Trains are cool!

*2023-11-25, version 6.9*

This is great!

### 5/5 — Good game

*2023-07-14, version 6.9*

When my family is arguing I turn this on at full volume

### 5/5 — Trying your game for the first time

*2023-04-16, version 6.9*

You should make it so much fun

### 5/5 — Videos

*2023-02-11, version 6.9*

Trying to find train videos. The app seems advertised like what I’m looking for, but it’s not user friendly.

### 5/5 — Can you add via rail please

*2022-02-06, version 6.9*

### 5/5 — Great app

*2021-11-09, version 6.9*

Shame about the adverts, but it’s free so

### 5/5 — Great app

*2021-04-16, version 6.2*

This is a great app, personally I’m not that little anymore, but I really like the footage in this app! And the others ( whopping plains, diggers, and fire trucks). I love all vehicles, but I love trains the most!

Thank you for this great app!!!!!

### 5/5 — Trains lover
