Okie we love this game but the last time it was updated way 3y ago we tried playing it but a black screen kept popping up so we cant play plz fix this.
We love this game and used to play it on our iPad. Once we got our iPhone 11, we downloaded the game but for some reason the whole game is on the very right side of our screen and u cant play it. We would like to know if you could fix this issue so we can play this game again.
Are you really really really like trains like you so please please please please make another one please we really like these games like we got first when we saw the picture we thought it was boring but when we downloaded and we saw the game we were mind blown.
This is a Very Great game. We used to play it all the time when we were Young. Heck. We even did a Video about it in 2017. Here are some things you can add we know this is a Steam Engine Simulation. But what about, Some Freight Cars, A Day and Night Cycle, And A Few Curves. And just like that guy said before. A boiler explosion and a Passing train just for the heck of it. Also we think you’re busy. Thats why the update in feb hasnt came out yet we saw that Your,e Doing a New Update About adding New Stations, And Stuff. Thank you for bringing this game back From Wiz4501 5 Stars.
We like trains, and American trains are with it, so with this game, learning some new things as well as figuring out stuff was really nice. Im especially happy that the game is still available for more modern devices! We really hope you continue to work on this game, because with how its set up, it has lots of promise. Great work!
We used to play this a lot for several years and we love it so mush that we play almost everyday. Im a massive rail fan and thank you for this game. We have suggestions to make this game better: Different Locomotives (Oldest and newest. Diesel and electric.) Freight trains. Mountains in the background each serval and few miles. Tunnels. Valley. Forest. Factories each serval miles. Water tower. Coal hooper. Barns. Rivers, ponds, and oceans. Railroad crossing. Cities form real life in the background each station. Desert. Bridge (small and large.) Weather. (Options for day, night, rain, snow, fog, sunrise, sunset, and autumn). Roads next to the tracks as each few cars pass by. Thomas and Friends Expansion.
One small complaint, every time we open the app, we just see a black screen, but we hear the main menu. If this can easily be fixed, all would be appreciated. Thanks!
We can only go backwards, when we go forward it says Conductor throws emergency brake on. Please fix this.
The game is good but we just wish you didnt have to pay to get coal and water tracking. We feel like if more people had access to it the game would be much more challenging and fun to play. But thats the only issue we had everything else is great and the devs did good!
We love trains , perfect game in general.
We love the game and stuff its just that every time we go to a stop we dont know how to earn coins so Im this is training the traveling through forever and we would like for you to like give us some coins please so we can make it. Thank you.
We have been playing this game since it came out and we love this game however there is something we have thought about that there are no other steam locomotives in this game and it been like that for years please add new trains. Also we think there should be Freight trains in this game as well we feel like that will make the game more fun. So we love this game would we get it yes So please think about adding that Stuff we ask Thank you.
Steam trains are great you just have these types of steam trains,pacific types. Add the nyc niagaras (4-8-4) and nyc Hudsons (4-6-4)also northern which have the same wheel arrangement as the niagaras,also berkshires (2-8-4)
Never we download the game and go into it it just shows a black screen please update it game dev so then we can play it.
We love this game so much. Thanks for updating so we can play again! Its so realistic.
Ryan for the update to iOS 11 we LOVE THIS GAME!!!!!!!
Great game aI rate this:FIVE STARS: cause its the best steam train physics EVER and we have done a state report yesterday so yeah its even better than Trainz but it would be amazing to have a diesel package with Amtrak,BNSF,CSX,NS,BN,SANTA FE,PENNSYLVANIA RAILROAD,CANADA RAILWAYS, AND ALL OTHER DIESELS PLEASE ADD IT WOULD BE AMAZING. BYE! ;)
This game used to be all that we played, but as we got a bit older Id we had forgotten about it. Within the last few months we had some good memories and wanted to redownload it and start playing again. There was a issue with that, Im using an iPhone 13 Pro Max, and for some reason or another, it just comes up as a black screen, so Im assuming its just the game hasnt been adjusted for the new screen, or something. Kinda disappointing because this game is so much fun, we cant leave anything but a 5 star because it is that good, but Im really disgruntled because we cant play it.
Please update we love this game! EDIT YESSSSS THANK YOU! We were pleasantly surprised today to find out you updated our favorite game on this entire store!!! Love it!
This was a big part of our childhood, and we’ve been playing a lot of it recently. Its just as good as we remember.
This is and was the greatest train game on iPhone we used to play this all day then we were 10 and we miss it dearly we spend hour and money on this game, thats how much we love it please bring it back.
We love this game and glad it returned after disappearing off the radar us and our friend would play this on the bus when we were heading to school and when we got our iPhone 8 we searched on the store but couldnt find it and when we looked it up and it took us to the App Store it said it needed to be updated to iOS 11 or something but now its back but it crashes and we lose our progress if the game crashes we keep upgrades but we have to restart the route please look into it beside that we are the happiest ever.
This game is really fun! Our son really likes to play this! But just 1 thing. Our son doesnt know how to change his locomotive, can you tell us how?
We got it a good year ago and still play it to this day as there is no steam locomotive game like this. For we have longed for a game that not only makes it so you have to manage coal and water level but to were you also get to say when the firemen shovels coal into the firebox. We love the upgrades and buying different coachs or freight wagons but the only thing we would like added is just more steam engines or upgrades like tender size or crew skill or maybe even the pressure the boiler can take. But other than that this game is great and should get a lot more attention.
So, this game is amazing, but the one huge flaw it has is devastating. The game crashes from time to time, and it resets you 3-5 stations back from where you were. This, to us, is SO FRUSTRATING!!!!! Please PLEASE fix this bug! If you can, that would be amazing!
Great game glad its been updated.
We looked at some videos of your game and it seems pretty interesting. We tried downloading several times, and updated our iPhone to make sure it was compatible(V 13.6). The controls and everything are fine its just the simple fact that we cant play it on our device.
This game is pretty good overall, but some new content is needed. The game only uses Ps-4 pacifics, but why not some 0-8-0s, 2-8-2 mikados, 4-8-2 mountains (or Mohawks for New York Central), 2-10-0 decapods, 4-6-4 Hudsons, and 2-6-6-2 mallets? You could make it so they would be on the track for the rolling stock. Add a few railroads like Norfolk and western, southern pacific, Chesapeake & Ohio, and finally, The Milwaukee Road. Also, for the New York to Chicago route, make the Dreyfuss Hudson for it since New York to Chicago was the route for the 20th Century Limited (1938-1954). These would attract more people to the game. You can (if you dont want to, thats ok) add a freight mode but make it DLC (In-app Purchase). Either way, the game is great but these changes would make it 100 times better!
For some reason when we try to enter the app the screen goes black. Please fix it.
This is a great game, we watched a LOT of classic Thomas the tank engine when we were young, as well as having watched we Like Toy Trains umpteen times. And when we found this, to say we were ecstatic would be an extreme understatement. We started playing this, but each time we stopped at a station, we kept seeing 2 engineers when there is only one on the train. Please fix this or at least explain!
We personally love American Trainworks. Playing it a few years back when we were younger was absolutely the best thing that happened to us back then. Playing it now, the game is still great, of course. The simplicity of the game is nice, but theres one thing that kind of takes away from the games specialty – And thats the lack of variety. We dont mind the game having several routes, but the lack of railroads and routes has drawn away from the game in the post day. We really hope that the game gets either a revamp, sequel, or more variety (Such as Canada). Hopefully that wish comes true, but until then, one can dream, right?
So when we were very little we played this all the time. And you talking about 4-5 years ago. Then when we got our new iPad in 2017 we found out the game wasnt on the AppStore anymore. So we contacted the developer to see if he/she would update it. He said he would. Then about a year later we checked and it was there on the AppStore. And we would like to thank the developer very much for updating the game! And yall should definitely get the game.
Really great game, we’ve been playing it for about 5 years now. But we have a question, how am we supposed to turn on Advanced Controls? We cant find a way to turn them on.
We use to play this game all the time and we loved it. We tried getting it own our new iPhone 11 but the tutorial booklet is partially off screen and is impossible to get past. We love this game but have to only give 4 stars because of this strange glitch.
Will this app be updated to handle the current, and future IOS Generations?
We love trains but this game version is getting a little outdated and needs an update. Can you add more routes to this game like the Union Pacific or the Norfolk and Western or maybe the Nickel Plate Road and maybe the Santa Fe and maybe add some new steam locomotives to the game like a 2-8-4 Berkshire steam locomotive or maybe a 4-8-4 northern steam locomotive or maybe a 4-8-8-4 big boy steam locomotive, and maybe add a new mode to the game like run freight trains or maybe mail trains or maybe add a couple of diesel locomotives like a EMD F7 or a GP9 or maybe an ALCO RS3. Those are some ideas to update the game and put some new life into it.
This desperately needs an update because when we click on it its just goes to a black screen.
We need help it does not start but it did once and when it did we couldnt see the starting screen but we’ve seen some YouTube videos of the game we love though.
The game is good but it does not show the full screen when we play. Otherwise its an amazing game!
We bought money for 2.99 and it said it went through but it did not.
We used to play this game a lot when we were little and then just recently we saw that it came back on the App Store so we decided to get it but lately it has been crashing every few minutes and we can only get in 1 stop. If there is anything you can do about this then we would love this game, thanks.
The only reason we left off the 5th star is due to the small glitch and being kicked out of the game. If you can please fix that we will change our rating. If you could add diesel locomotives and add more railroads such as Norfolk and Western and Atlantic coast line that would be amazing.
We used to live for this game when we were in 3rd and 4th grade. We had grown out of trains but got back into them about a year ago ,and we were looking through our App Store for some train games and we found this and we so we downloaded it. We have an iPhone 11 so when we opened it we were disappointed because its just a black screen.
We like this game. Its very realistic and only has a few bugs and flaws. But we just noticed this… The last time the developers even updated this game was 3 years ago. But if you look at version 1.0 to version 2.1.0 Its less than a 1yr change between updates. But the fact it has been 3 years, and before this version it was 4, we think the developers just stopped caring much about this game. Maybe we are wrong though, Its just what we see. Great game overall we like the sounds and background decor.
Listen to us. We know this is based off of steam locomotives and stuff, but to show our respectful nature show to diesel locomotives, could you atleast add 1 diesel? Maybe an early one like a F unit. Also, (reason for 4 star review) why do you have to pay just to unlock new cars that add no potential value? We think thats weird.
This is a great game except theres a minor flaw in it. When Im at the stations and we press the buttons, the app sometimes quits by itself and not only that but when we reopen it, the routes restart as well. We hope these problems can be fixed in the next update.
On the iPhone 13 this games screen is out of frame and will not allow you to play but we had this game on our iPad and worked completely fine but we will like this bug fixed so we can play.
