## The Official Guide to Pocket Trains Reviews in United States

### *---- "Waste of money"
App is out of date scales terribly with iPhone 6 and newer models. The journey planner the only feature I got it for crashes all the time. App hasn't received updates in a real long time
-- Dudegt, 2017-07-15

### *---- "In desperate need of an update"
I've been playing Pocket Trains for a while and I thought this guide would be helpful and worth the $0.99 but once I opened it I noticed how old and dysfunctional it was. This app needs an update if I'm ever going to open it again.
-- Gabriel29129, 2017-07-02

### **--- "Pocket trains guide"
The concept is really good, BUT this app is always crashing, and it is really hard to turn the page. Great for beginners
-- Balamcat, 2014-03-02

### *---- "No jobs"
😕It does not show how to do jobs😢
-- Matthias Geyer, 2014-02-04

### **--- "Good Potential but..."
is hard to navigate and has blank page issues which desperately need to be resolved. Like stated, has good potential but NEEDS fixes
-- swag12395, 2013-12-28

### **--- "Too cutesy, no depth."
Was looking for information on stored cars. You'd think that would be in the section on cars. It isn't. 

Overall navigation is clunky. Animation of train blocks some text.
-- TK-855, 2013-12-06

### *---- "Save Your Money"
I was excited about the planner, most of the other info is on the wiki and is not worth the dollar. Unfortunately it's just a map of the world which you can draw on. I really wanted to be able to virtualize my routes, see how much fuel each route takes so I don't have to waste money finding the right engine etc. Also the app is pretty buggy but the layout is cool. Wish they would put effort into this guide and make the planner really good plus fix the bugs, but before then don't buy.
-- Spirit glider, 2013-11-28

### *---- "Disappointed gamer"
I was really looking forward to using the journey planner. But I've had nothing but problems the app keeps crashing and the planner doesn't even work. Sure I can scribble on a blank green screen... But where is the map. I'm incredibly disappointed and sad to say that this was an absolute waste of money...
-- Sharpie painter, 2013-11-18

### **--- "Im new"
Idk how to use any of your apps but tiny tower navigating through them is a nightmare!!! Help please
-- Break the ice, 2013-11-16

### ****- "Helpful and cute"
Yes, the guide is a tad flawed, and it would have been nice to have it when I first got the game.  But it's very helpful.  Some of the stuff in sort of guessed at a d figured out by trial and error is now clearer.  And these guys have a cute sense of humor.  For $.99 it's a major bargain.  Game is still silly and ridiculously addictive.  Thanks.
-- Old Kull, 2013-11-14
