Are you the next Cornelius Venderbilt and railway mogul? Can you achieve a monopoly? In Train Manager you create and manage your own railroad empire where you build it up from nothing to owning routes all over the world. Compete to be at the top of the multiplayer leaderboards and challenge your friends and other real life train managers from all over the world. REAL LIFE TRAINS AND STATIONS Utilize the power of a train tycoon simulator to create a strategy where you can become as big as real rail companies like Deutsche Bahn, SNCF, BNSF, CSX, Union Pacific, Japan Railway Company or CNRC and claim monopoly. Create, schedule and explore international routes between train stations like Shinjuku, Hamburg, London Waterloo, Grand Central Terminal, Paris Gare Du Nord, Taipei, Roma Termini or Penn Station. Track your trains live when they drive from town to city or when they are staying idle at stations. CHOOSE REALISTIC GAMEPLAY You can play on two difficulties: either EASY or REALISM. Go the easy way to lower prices and increase profits or challenge yourself with realism where you have to be the manager of the smallest things like the fuel prices and taxes. ENVIRONMENT FRIENDLY Not only is it more convenient and easy to travel the railroads, but it’s also better for the environment compared to a car, ship or plane. Be a green manager and help bring more focus on transport of passengers and cargo by train. From steam engines to running on diesel to high-speed electric bullet trains - you are able to shape the future and set yourself up for success if you deploy the right tactics.

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: Train Manager at 4.8 against IF Remote's 3.9. Train Manager also leads on ratings volume (941 vs 7) and iOS requirement (15.0 vs 17.0). IF Remote's advantage is review sentiment (75% vs 52%) and update cadence (every 4 days vs fortnightly). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Train Manager holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 3.9. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Train Manager has 941 ratings behind it against 7, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 52% of Train Manager's written reviews are positive against 75% of IF Remote's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Train Manager ships an update fortnightly, IF Remote every 4 days. The most recent releases landed on October 27, 2026 and October 13, 2026 respectively.
