I loved this game back when I was little and loved Thomas and friends. It was the best! I loved how you could I think collect models and place them where ever you want! I also loved how you could do little mini challenges! You could also control your engine. (Of course). But then.. So I think you people probably know back in 2021 or 2022 Thomas and friends changed their mascot a bit to be more kid friendly. And of course this game would update and change most of the things in the game, For me, it looked sooo different! They changed the models (The trains) and It looked really different. Some trains got changed and replaced. I wish you could keep the old version and make a 2 of this game with the new mascot on game 2. So budge, Please can you bring back the old version and make a number 2 with this version but on 2?

Please check out our other games from the same series: Thomas & Friends Minis and Thomas & Friends: Go Go Thomas that both use the original style.
What a terrible thing to do to a child
AbbyCertifiedIt
I am disappointed in this game great gameplay and graphics the whole nine yards and my 4 yr old son absolutely loves it however you have to pay to even progress through the game it’s not like you have to pay for the extras but instead you have to basically pay to get anywhere in the game. My son is absolutely upset because he can’t move on without having me pay and I’m just not doing that in your about app it says he can play FREE then it says i might have to buy extras but it does say free. Definitely misleading to those who can not or will not pay. I checked out a lot of the developers apps and all of them explain that you might have to purchase content by sayin its free to try this is though one of their games that does not imply the word TRY instead it says free to PLAY. I’m not happy and my poor 4 yr old keeps playing it expecting to get somewhere else and every time he keeps gettin the same results and keeps crying that he can’t do it. For heaven sakes this is Thomas the train whose motto is I think I can I think I can. And all this app has done is make my poor baby think he can’t. I think the developers owe it to a four year old child and at least make the game play free as it says and only charge for the extra cool tracks and trains that doesn’t keep the child from getting anywhere. If the developers can manage to fix this problem for my child then I’ll be more then happy to give it five stars but until then I’ll give it only two stars and will spread the word to people not to buy into their gimmick and save other Childers hopes from shattering. Thank you and have a nice day. Yours sincerely the mother of a disappointed child.

Suspicious practices
Stickman Art
I am highly suspicious of this app. After my son enjoyed it for a little bit it suddenly started spamming for purchases. That was expected but “wasn’t” expected was how the app responded. It “instantly” tried to trick me into processing a payment just for tapping on any entry.Had I not been using an old iPad mini that still requires me to type in my password much less had been supervising my child this thing would have gone ahead and charged my card without me knowing it! I quickly hit cancel when the iTunes Store asked for my account password and the app was “kind” enough to pop up with a message saying “sometimes processing payment may take a little time”..geez thanks! We had considered making a small purchase to remove ads but after reading reviews from other parents who thought the same thing it appears that doesn’t work. I’m already looking into how to report this app to Apple since last I heard some of these business practices went against some of the App Store polices. At this point it appears even if I had agreed to purchase something from them they would have went ahead and spammed my kid with another app asking for more money.
Pay to play for children’s games?

This is ridiculous! Such a cool concept behind the game and my son loves it. Problem is you can’t do anything without paying real money. I would have no problem paying $5-$10 for the app and let my son play to unlock everything. Problem is that’s not the case. $10 wouldn’t unlock 1/100th of the game. What toddler or young kid has the money to play this game. So now my son just keeps doing the same old challenges over and over because he completed Thomas’ challenges and you have to pay crazy amounts of money for them to move to more. You will never get a dollar from us because of how you are trying to rip these kids off. I feel like the developers are scum bags for trying to exploit our children for money like they are. I would give this game negative stars if it were possible for this.
Welcome back! A new game update is here with performance improvements and bug fixes.
