Great game, awkward UI
Wed Oct 26 2022 Jlar112First off, this is the most advanced train sim Iāve seen for iOS to date. It has great lighting, shadows, locomotive & rolling stock design and textures and immersive audio. To me, the user interface feels a bit clunky and awkward to use. For example, the important secondary controls like horn & whistle are in a separate menu called the āaction menuā that you have to toggle to to use. And when you toggle to the action menu, you lose control of the main controls, even though it doesnāt cover much of the screen. There is often a noticeable lag when toggling between the main controls and one of the menus. Oh, and the whistle gets stuck at times. Also, when you are dynamic braking and have the train info menu at the bottom left toggled to display one of the two infographics other than the speed indicator, the little speed indicator in the upper right corner of the screen that helps you keep track of the speed limit disappears and just says āDynamic break engagedā or something similar. Just a couple of little things that annoy me about how the UI is designed but other than that the game
Itself is wonderful!! Hopefully easy fixes someday?

More trains,maps,and add derailments
Mon Mar 21 2022 No sounds annoyingHello. Iām here to talk about more trains,maps,and adding derailments. First off,more trains. The rail fans who play this wonderful game all have requested that U.S.A Big Boy and #844 need to come to the game. Also with the Blue Comet,Pennsylvania Railroad T1 4-4-4ā4 and K4, along with some S2 and Q3s. Next is the maps. If you guys could get New York and New Haven line, and the Pennsylvania electric lines, with the Gg1 and coaches to complete the entire thing, I bet you will get more downloads. Derailments are next, and guess what? Iām tired of crashing trains and there is no derailment. You crash a train into a stalled one at full speed and it merely just stops and put the X over it, telling us the train has crashed. Add derailments so when a train crashes it falls off the track, goes down in a ditch, or even goes on its side. I will not rate this game 5 stars until I see improvements and what us player have been begging ever since this game came out in 2020. My friends are also rail fans and they wanna rate this game a 3, so Iām trying to help you guys. Add these improvements and Iāll make sure my friends and me rate this game a 5. Have a great day, and get back to me soon. Bye!

Overall Great, but with several bugs
Fri Sep 02 2022 TheGuythaygotScrewedN3V, this game is great. I downloaded Trainz Simulator 2 when it was introduced, and I was wondering what the next one would be. Well, TS3 is a massive upgrade. The graphics are amazing; the content is more realistic; and the maps are more enjoyable. Having different HUD displays for speed and gradients truest simplifies the driving experience. I enjoy the realistic sounds of the EMD SD70 and C40-8W; it feels spectacular. But in the midst of success, there are still a few bugs. When you load the game, it immediately throws you into a world (the tutorial or one you were playing earlier). It seems rather annoying and more chaotic compared to TS2s interface. There are some problems with saving worlds as well. Sometimes I do not want to save progress; however, when I reload the session, it resumes right where something happened (I.e, a train derailment). I know you guys are working to fix them, but Iām hoping they get fixed before releasing a World Builder; the game would be more enjoyable with the bugs fixed. Outstanding job overall, and best of luck on future developments.

Happy but needs improvement.
Wed May 11 2022 šštrainsI kind of agree with the last guy. Please give American Rail fans what they want after this current span of European trains. I would like to see Union Pacific 4014, 844, and other UP based locomotives. The SP 4449 in itās Daylight Colors with matching coaches and maybe a Forward Cab loco. Would be cool if you want to add some SP locos. If you gonna add a region maybe do a Cheyanne Wyoming based region with the UP Steam team workshop. That way a UP based region could make sense. You guess placed CSX in multiple regions already. Give some love to the UP fans. If you want to stay making East Coast American regions at least add more N&W locos. Like the 611 and many other N&W Steam and diesel locos that way the 2-8-8-4 you already have in the game can have other locos to give her company.
But other than what I want to see add. Please make placing railway cars and locos quicker. When I place a locomotive that is quick and easy. But if I want to make a long train I have to repeat the process. After a while the process can get a little taxing to the player. Maybe donāt make us press so many buttons to place one train car.

This game is great, but need some improvement( with suggestions)
Sun Oct 13 2024 The kid rail fanFirst off this is a great game, but they are some maps (Yellowstone) that have bugs. Yellowstone has a bug where if you go to free drive and click on a train it teleports you into the 2-D map and you canāt move anything until you zoom in. And when you zoom in thereās no track. and that really makes me mad because I really want to try that map so please developers please read this and fix the bug. OK now I have some suggestions first I have some steam engines I want you to add can you please add a big boy you had it in every single game except this one can you please add the Reading T ā1 and on top of that can you just please add the 844 Thank you. OK now I have one more suggestion can you please add a map editor Iām pretty sure you have an all your PC games and your older mobile games. It be really cool if you added a editor OK thatās all I have great game but please fix the bug and please add the editor and those locomotives thank you:):):):)

Minor Bugs
Sat Mar 05 2022 hodeloadOverall the game is fantastic love the graphics love the locomotives in the game but there are some minor details that could be fixed in the future one sounds on the local models donāt match with the Proto types for instance the Conrail Dash eights have a EMD steel bell and the Norfolk Southern 40s have a steel bell and I understand that the game was released no updates have came out yet and not only just those two details some of the engines have some of the same sounds and it be nice if they had different sounds for each particular locomotive and secondly on the one map where you go into or out of the tunnel on the one curve you always derail well if youāre coming out of the tunnel you the rail but if you try to go to the tunnel youāll derail and I donāt understand why that happens but I would like to see that get fixed in order to actually have trains run in each direction but like I said over all the game is fantastic canāt wait to see what future updates have in store thank you!!

White screen of death
Thu Jan 18 2024 CChandlerHonestly this is a good game, but the reason Iām rating it 3/5 stars is because there are some bugs and missing stuff. First one and the most important one is the white screen of death. Like you play the game for a while or something then it kicks you out of the game. When you reopen it, you get a white screen, making the game unplayable and having to reinstall it. This has happened to me many times before and I would like this bug fixed. Second one are the derailments, you seriously couldnāt do any better than Trainz 2. Trainz 2 has WAY better derailments than this game. All that happens when you derail on this game is it just shows the yellow x on top of the whole train and it just sits there. There is something missing from the game also. The time and weather selection. It would be nice if we could change the time and weather again. But the biggest missing thing is the route builder. Route builder on this game would be SO good. Like seriously, with all this stuff imagine what people will make! Honestly, Trainz 3 needs a lot of improvements.

Please don't buy this game
Sun Dec 18 2022 connor_smithThis game is not worth $7, and I had to learn that the hard way. This game has absolutely zero effort put into it. The UI takes up 70% of the screen, and for $7 you think the developer of the game would put in the time to have interactive controls in this game such as Flight Simulator X on IOS (its a free game btw), but nah this dude has the most outdated and ugly UI imaginable. Almost zero interaction with passengers, trains, etc. You have incredibly basic controls, and even those aren't in the slightest realistic. Graphics are decent I guess, but again for $7 it's you'd except more HD textures. The game overall just seems very bland, all you really do is go forwards and backwards, and nothing else. The other reviews for this game are definitely written by 11 year olds that have no experience with trains. Go do yourself a favor and not give whoever made this game more money, instead buy arcade and play some 2K23 or something like that, because this game is not worth your time nor money. I expected a lot more from this game, but I am incredibly disappointed. Barely any maps, trains, routes, and overall a cheaply and sloppily made game.
