## John Allen's Timesaver Puzzle Reviews in United States

### ***** "Old app, but it works!"
Great app, that gets harder the longer you play. I don’t understand the high scores that seem impossibly fast, but other than that, it’s a great implementation of Allen’s classic puzzle!!
-- Lego Damashii, 2025-11-16

### ***** "Fun"
A great digital version of John Allen’s Timesaver switching game. I think the Wizard of Monterey would approve .
-- Rick from Azizona, 2025-07-15

### ***** "Fun"
Love the challenge of unsubscribing the puzzles
-- Medic1159, 2025-02-15

### ***** "good learning opportunity"
Optimizing switching operations is what’s learned from the Timesaver .  Sidings are short, so strategic moves save time in putting the cars where they need to be.
-- steamhog, 2025-02-15

### *---- "Doesn’t work on any of my lPads"
Nice program but only works on my iPhones. But my iPhone screen is to small. I want to use it on one of my iPads but it crashes after I go through the training yard. I have tried it on 2 of my iPads, one is an original 9” running ios 9.4 and another is my 12.9” Pro running ios 17.???
-- 1957 vette, 2024-01-03

### ***** "All aboard"
Neat little game for those who want to challenge themselves. Not as easy as you think. Love it. Hope there’s another version with more tracks
-- Southernsgt, 2023-12-19

### ***** "Great puzzle game for train lovers!"
Lots of fun, and you can play levels over to look for more efficient ways to improve your time.  A must for any train lover, especially modellers.
-- Skunk'd, 2023-10-19

### *---- "Stopped working"
Cannot uncouple cars any more. Bug?
-- ExactlyWhyDoINeedANickname?, 2023-10-18

### ***** "Dazed but confused"
If you like logic problems, this game is lots of fun.
The only prob I’ve had is that I bought the full version years ago and I’m still not able to play it.  Mega disappointed.
-- the planker, 2023-05-16

### ***** "One suggestion"
A better Diesel locomotive sound would be nice 👍
