Introducing MobileBVE, an effort at porting OpenBVE to Mobile Devices. Took some time, hours of bugfixing and multiple headaches, but hey, it works. You might ask, why install this when Hmmsim exists? Well, it's free. And it's more advanced. Well what are the features anyways and how advanced is it? • Direct OpenBVE/BVE Trainsim 2/4 routes/trains support, no conversion needed • Easy route/train importing • Accurate Train Simulation just like OpenBVE or Hmmsim • Proper Scenery Animations • And much much more There's even support Multiplayer play(which OpenBVE nor Hmmsim has), which allows for Online or Local LAN Network Multiplayer Play. More updates to come.

Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: MobileBVE at none against Hong Kong Bus's shown. MobileBVE also leads on update cadence (weekly vs every 6 months) and review sentiment (79% vs 50%). Hong Kong Bus's advantage is rating (5.0 vs 4.7). On price, in-app purchases, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
Hong Kong Bus holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: MobileBVE has 58 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 50% of Hong Kong Bus's written reviews are positive against 79% of MobileBVE's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Hong Kong Bus ships an update every 6 months, MobileBVE weekly. The most recent releases landed on November 3, 2026 and November 1, 2026 respectively.
