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 MetroWorld's shown. MobileBVE also leads on ratings volume (21 vs 1) and monetization model (free vs ad-supported). MetroWorld's advantage is rating (5.0 vs 4.7) and review sentiment (100% vs 80%). On price, update cadence, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
