ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Cruise Train Driver Simulator holds the better App Store score, 4.0 against 3.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: googolChooChoo3D has 70 ratings behind it against 12, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 47% of googolChooChoo3D's written reviews are positive against 0% of Cruise Train Driver Simulator's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

googolChooChoo3D ships an update every 3 months, Cruise Train Driver Simulator every 5 days. The most recent releases landed on October 23, 2026 and October 24, 2026 respectively.
