Steam: Rails to Riches for Negative User Reviews

✓ Wait before buyingIt takes about an hour to download all the maps. Then, when I selected tutorial, it loaded forever and I couldn't get to the game. Dude, if you are going to charge $6.99 for a game, make sure it works. Silly..King PlastoVersion: 1.0

✓ Beware! Map download ties up Ipad for hoursBeware for now as the app automatically begins to download maps which takes an incredible amount of time. My ipad air 2 has been tied up for one and half hours so far and is at only 33% download. I kid you not, this is unacceptable. I hate to do this, as I always support and want to support boardgame apps, but DON'T buy until this major issue is fixed.Rebel-66Version: 1.0

✓ Not badOnce the map issue was sorted, it download smoothly. Good implementation, nice graphics. Decent game, but at $10.99 AUD and STILL having IAP it's far too expensive.MetromancerVersion: 1.0

✓ AbandonwareDevs made many promises of updates and content but instead took the money and ran. This game has been abandoned, sorry I bought the POS, and will never buy another game from these phonies..DevxxVersion: 1.1

✓ You've got to be kiddingThe map required an hour to download. The PDF file took so long, I closed the page before it was done. And now the Tutorial, same problem. I don't have years to waste waiting to learn and play. How did this idiocy get past their QA? How did Apple even approve this? Hopefully, this can earn a few stars after the download problems are resolved but this is unplayable as of now, because I can't just sit and wait hours for it to start. Airpad and latest OS installed..ZebracadabraVersion: 1.0

✓ Add online multiplayerSee title. Every other board game adaptation has online play, usually through game enter. Give me a live back-and-forth experience so I don't have to hand my iPad back and forth and you'll sell 3-5x more copies!.Irreverent FoolVersion: 2.0

✓ Tutorial stops workingWhen you go through the standard tutorial the tutorial stops working right after you upgrade your train to level 3, ship one good, and then put the points into the income track. Wallace is up next but she doesn't do anything..Sinizar360Version: 2.1

✓ . . . Now loadingFor $7 you can be the proud owner of a very dramatic picture of a train that says now loading under it, if however you wanted a game you should save your money.Luv2hugapugVersion: 1.0

✓ So far seems like a waste8 bucks I expect a tutorial that works and if you are going to Nickle and dime for DLC don't charge 8 bucks for the game. I'd wait for this to go on sale..Fun sailingVersion: 1.0

✓ Worst tutorial everThe game doesn't place a yellow good on Einhoven, then tells you to transport one yellow good to Njinmegen. It won't let me progress past that. I really want to give this game a higher review, but the tutorial is a dumpster fire..Keith.r.lauVersion: 3.2.2

✓ Broken Tutorial BewareThis may be a decent game if you know how to play the board game. The tutorial however is broken and does not allow you to progress after a couple of turns..Jeannite007Version: 3.3.1

✓ Crashes when starting a gameOnce you start a game it crashes on my iPad mini with iOS9..DurinUKVersion: 3.4.0

✓ Expansions to muchIf the expansions were £99p each would buy them all. As it is will only be buying the main game as on offer. Shame people try to charge to much. Love the board games of other games..ThomasDavidRileyVersion: 3.3.0

✓ Unable to connect to the InternetFor some reason maps can’t download while I am actually connected to the Internet. Can’t rate until this is fixed..Ash452z1Version: 3.4.9

✓ Load TimesWish I could review the app but load times have been horrendous. Initial loading of maps took over an hour on high speed wifi. Tried to play tutorial and after 90 mins it was still loading. What's going on?.W4lt56Version: 1.0

✓ Pay againIt’s a turn base game and can be interesting to play. The AI is strong so you must strategize. There was no download problem. Gave three stars as after paying to get the game you have to pay additional money to get maps. That annoyed me. If it was free and you pay to get maps, that’s fine but when you pay upfront for a game, I expect no additional costs.OldshibbyVersion: 3.3.1

✓ Several issues with Tutorial make it unplayableI cannot progress in tutorial. I’ve now restarted it twice, but it requires me to perform an action that I cannot do. I also found a spelling error in the tutorial text. I want to like this game, but I still don’t know how to play because of the broken tutorial..BennetVersion: 3.3.7

✓ Why?I was glad to see this game for the ipad, but I haven't been able to play it as the maps take too long to download. An early glitch in distributing the game? I'll update my review when I can play the game. Update 1: I was able to download the maps today, but could not get the tutorial downloaded. Will check back. Update 2: The game seems to be working now..10.5.6.6Version: 1.0

✓ Multiplayer needs improvementYou cant invite friends so you need to leave a game open for them to join. The turn notifications also dont work. I was very encouraged when the multiplayer was first rolled out but have struggled to complete any games as friends need to be messaged in another medium that it is their turn.Denis_bdaVersion: 3.3.5

✓ Tutorial will not loadI'll revise this when I can use the tutorial. I loaded the maps but the tutorial sat there for 15 minutes. I shut down the app and reloaded it with the same result. I deleted the app and tried again with the same result. IPad 3 with the most recent iOS..ProfCrashVersion: 1.0

✓ Waste of money3 hours and it hasn't downloaded yet..Goblin981Version: 3.3.0

✓ Horrible TutorialThe tutorial for this game is completely useless. It is filled with spelling errors and bad grammar which makes it very difficult to understand what you are supposed to do. It also just tells you what actions to take without any context or reasoning for why those actions are important..ChrRomeVersion: 2.0

✓ Rip offDownlod from Apple works great. Sadly that's all that does. Subsequent secondary map download to actually make the game work crawls along and then fails well before its finished. Finally hours later after timing out numerous times it tells me I am not connected to the Internet. Odd really given I can leave this online review. How did this make it onto the App Store in the first place. Refund please..IndygnomeVersion: 1.0

✓ Loading..loading..loadingSteam is miles away from being a premium app with a premium price. Missing basic functionality, too reliant on Internet access, and can't even play the game without downloading the first map. Do not buy this app, wait too see if the devs can fix before being frustrated with its current state..Howitzer99Version: 1.0

✓ Details, detailsA good game, but the mechanics around dragging everything are just wrong. Everyone else let's you get close, it's sad that in a game mainly about dragging its so much work to do this here..Juniorbird47Version: 3.2.2

✓ Hopelessly ConfusingGames is very complicated, and the tutorial was little help at all. When you first open the app, it takes 7-8 minutes to download "mandatory" maps before you get to see anything about the horribly complicated game..LalalalalalahVersion: 3.0.1

✓ Help?How do I get the app to let me take multiple turns moving goods in the move goods phase? It always ends the phase after I move one good instead of cycling through all the players’ turns repeatedly. Very annoying.ItalianbreadmanVersion: 3.3.3

✓ I've paid $7 for a "Loading" screen.Game doesn't work on download; two thirds of it requires being downloaded. Which took an hour, because servers weren't ready for people buying the game. Why not make it part of the initial iTunes download? Ok, so I have the maps, ready to play. Open the tutorial. "Loading" screen comes up. And stays up. No progress bar, nothing. Thirty minutes, still a loading screen. I've paid $7 for a "Loading" screen..Thf2Version: 1.0

✓ Too expensiveDecent game. But at $12 I think the add on maps cost too much. This whole game should be $5..JonBPVersion: 3.1

✓ JunkThe game consistently crashes. No response from their "Help" link. The online manual seems more geared to the board game. Poor game play. Request for refund ignored. Why is this garbage in the App Store?.Texas HumVersion: 3.2.2

✓ Bugs and more bugs, and no multiplayer.Other reviews cover the issue, but why do I have to download a map as soon as I open the game? Aside from that, several frustrating issues. The initial loading screens take far too long. Multiple rules are implemented incorrectly, such as taking loans at the beginning of a turn (from AGE OF Steam, not Steam). A good effort, but misses the mark. Disappointing..JD HuntingtonVersion: 1.1

✓ Premium price, C- EnglishPlease fix the horrible English. The grammar is appalling..ZzzgsbcvbfsfghesfgVersion: 1.0

✓ Great game, shoddy implementationI love Wallace's games, especially Steam and Age of Steam. This implementation is pretty slipshod, however. The game needs to download additional data after installation, but that only works on a solid Internet connection. If anything goes wrong it just crashes and is unplayable. Once it's working it ... is very slipshod. The UI conventions are inconsistent, inexplicable, and unintuitive. I m familiar with the board game, but get confused constantly by the UI. There's a lot of potential here but the developers need to put some real effort into user experience, especially given the price point ($10 with two maps)..SadExplorerVersion: 1.0

✓ And ... it's brokenDownloads quickly. After selecting the appropriate language the App immediately begins to "download maps" and bombs with 404 "not connected to the Internet" error..AppHammer62Version: 1.0

✓ Map Downloading...So I downloaded this app & opened it up to play. Only to find the "required" maps have not downloaded & the app expects me to sit there and watch the status bar.. If the iPad goes black screen or I flick to another app it resets to 0%.. Not what I expect given the price.. Love the boardgame, shame about this long awaited app..JetdoggyVersion: 1.0

✓ Update fatigueAre you guys seriously pushing out an update when you have a sale so you can put the 'Sale' banner on your icons? Because that's what it looks like..PdxnikVersion: 3.3.5

✓ RailsNo good tutorial. No written tutorial of any worth..Danbo1732Version: 3.3.3

✓ Good boardgame, bonehead app designThis ui design is outright awful. The tutorial dismisses tutorial help so fast that it's often unreadable. Big, clumsy game controls & status displays take up so much of the screen real estate; at best, with visual information hidden, you can see about a quarter of the map at once ... still partially obscured by the remaining controls. There's no way to zoom-out to view the whole map. It's frequently buggy - critical legal actions/moves suddenly don't work. Almost unplayable..Jjb94703Version: 2.0

✓ Overpriced and needs a campaign mode£4.99 only gets you one map, the second costs £2.29. Good implementation of the board game but the tutorial lacks depth and does not tell you much. No campaign mode. Additional maps should be much cheaper..TillyhornVersion: 1.1

✓ Waste of moneyThe tutorial makes the game impossible to learn. I really don’t understand how the game plays on my devices, so I never attempt it for very long. It’s a very frustrating game..Thom1977Version: 3.3.0

✓ Looks Great...It wont load on my iPad Air. It hangs on the loading screen ☹️.Richy SmithstonVersion: 3.0

✓ DisappointedAm a avid boardgamer and enjoy iPad adaptions for the most part. Had never played the cardboard version but had been following the release of this as people seemed excited about it. Bought it on the day it came out tried the tutorial. Just freezes. I paid $7 for this. Disappointed. I would wait until maybe they fix this before buying.WolfparamedicVersion: 1.0

✓ Terrible initial experienceWhen you start the app, it says "Required maps are now downloading", and then sits on an extremely slow download dialog. Worse, your state doesn't seem to be preserved. I switched away from the app to look at my calendar, and when I went back to the app, it started the whole process all over again. I have no idea if the basic game is any good, and I may never get to play it if I have to leave the phone untouched for what I guess would be about 90 minutes just to get the maps downloaded. (This is on a fast connection, incidentally: the download from the app store took much less than a minute.).Mn200Version: 1.0

✓ CrashesI have gone through the tutorial, but when I try to run the game, it gets to the loading screen and then crashes. I have tried to visit the app developer's site, but it doesn't really offer the ability to notify them of issues. The only place to make comment is here. Here are my details - I'm running on an iPad mini with so 7.1. If they fix this issue I can play this version of this great game and hopefully write a better review..Paul65_bggVersion: 1.1

✓ RubbishLoading times to long, and far to hard to understand the basics of the game, certainly no Railroad Tycoon game.RagrizdemonVersion: 1.1

✓ DOAFirst thing game tries to do is try and download maps which results in a 404 error stating your not connected to the Internet. The support link leads to a page that says the game is coming soon ( a page that has existed for about 6 months with no changes)..MLB3Version: 1.0
