Train Taxi Reviews

by SpaceForThePoppa

It’s a fun and somewhat challenging game to begin with, then the ads become relentless. And the levels repetitive. And the quest for new trains is useless, because new trains only look different, but add no new functionality, like slowing down the growth of passengers cars, or increasing capacity, or anything except change the appearance of the trains. And when you get to the chest level, 9 chests are presented, and your goal is to find the chest with the new (useless) train. You get three tries at a time, and have to watch an ad (of course) in order to get 3 more tries. Here’s the rub, the train ALWAYS appears in the last 3 chests, forcing you to watch 2 full ads (no ad skip feature here). I’ve played over 100 levels, and it’s statistically IMPOSSIBLE for a “randomly” generated train to ALWAYS appear as the first chest in the last set of 3. Impossible. So the chests aren’t random, the game is repetitive, ad ladened and ultimately boring. Don’t waste your time.

This game is fun and all (maybe a little too easy) but ads pop up every other level. Also another thing is that if you want to multiply your winnings by 3, then you can either watch an ad or wait 4 seconds for a “no thanks” button to appear. I was waistline so much time just sitting there to enjoy this game anymore. If you want to, you can pay $6 a week to be “VIP” for extra earnings, special fancy looking trains, and on top of that no ads. In my opinion that’s not worth it at all. I uninstalled TrainTaxi because the pop ups to buy their subscription and ads after every level or so got to be overwhelming. If you have an extra $100 laying around and you don’t know what to do with, this game will swallow that $100 real quick. Unnecessary waste of battery life in my opinion.

I’m not a hater, ok? This game is kinda fun for the first few rounds, and you think the difficulty will increase as you fly by the levels, right? Well no. The game is just too easy and it is getting boring. I came up with some suggestions... #1. MAKE THE GAME HARDER!!!! #2. Spice it up a little... you guys are the developers you are supposed to be the creative ones not me. #3. Add more trains and more colors on the trains. #4. Create an option where the players can change the color of the background. And finally, #5. Too many adds. I love that you are supporting other people by showing their adds but there is just way too many. Thank you for your time.

This game mechanically is enjoyable. I like the sounds and the concept. I like how I can buy new trains with cool designs, the maps looks aesthetic and pleasing. The reason I am giving this game two stars is the fact that you finish each level in 10-15 seconds then you are forced into watch a 30 second ad, every, single, time. You will end up watching more ads then playing the game. If you don’t pay the 2$ you will have to watch an ad between every map, between going to buy an new train and switching menus. It is extremely obnoxious, be warned. If you like this game just pay the 2 bucks or suffer closing TrainTaxi every level in bitterness.

Not sure why there are high reviews. The game does not get harder. You’d have to be an idiot or a small child to not pass each level. Since they don’t limit the number of stops you can make, you can just keep going around and around until you get the last passenger with no penalty on points or anything. It doesn’t matter if you solve in 8 swipes or 50 - that’s not strategy, it’s just to make people feel good about how smart they are and keep playing to watch ads.
The purpose of this game, and every game it advertises is to get you in their advertising network. They know nobody is going to buy the game - they make money on the ads. If you use airplane mode, they make you agree to share your personal information with their advertisers. I deleted it immediately.
No thanks.

Honestly it’s fun. It is a good game for if you’re bored or just wanting to keep your mind busy. BUT there is an ad after LITERALLY every single level, and considering the levels take 30 seconds max that is a whole lot of ads. It’s absolutely unbearable.

Exit: I just counted over the span of 5 minutes. I had 9 ads in just under 5 minutes. That’s an add approximately every 33 seconds. And that is ABSOLUTELY ridiculous. The only time their isn’t an ad immediately after a level is when it’s having you do a coin or gem level but immediately after those there are ads that are longer than the regular ones.

Do not waste your time with this game.

If you download this game you will immediately be bombarded with annoying ads every time you finish a level. So to get rid of ads and actually have a chance to play the game you pay for it. Then you will continue to be tricked into watching ads after completing other levels. So the only point of playing this game is to get you to watch ads.
The game itself seems easy and fun initially. But it’s a one-trick pony. There is no sophistication and it never gets more interesting or challenging. It’s like going to kindergarten over and over again and never getting to first grade.
Don’t waste your time or money on this one. There are other games out there that are worlds better.

Im on level 500 or so after the first couple of weeks. I thought it was fun but it could use other activities. It then got boring so i dont play it that often anymore but i still play it. Its still fun to play though. Its just another game that is addictive but then turns upside down or boring. Also its just another free game with so many ads. But there is a couple games i have that lets you decide if you want to watch an ad to live and get a life or to get coins and cash thats within the game. All in all i think its fun to play.

I’m not going to lie; this game is enjoyable. It’s simple, relaxing, and addictive. You will fly through the levels with ease but if you expect them to ever get more difficult you’ll want a different game.

This game is obviously designed as an ad farm. Every few levels you beat (you beat each level in under a minute) you are shown an ad. Then you get to the coin or gem levels that at the end ask you to watch an ad for a multiplier. You also collect keys that take you to a screen to unlock chests and how do you get more keys?! By watching an ad (and then a second ad). This game has been a fun time killer this morning but it couldn’t be anymore obvious that it was purely designed to get you to watch the most ads as possible.

by MrDLoomis

The game concept is excellent. The graphics are smooth and well done. That being said, it only gets three stars due to the ads and overall gameplay. I bought the “ad free” version, but I still get asked to watch an add to do anything. I paid for no ads, that means NO ADS!

The gameplay is repetitive. The devs could make this a number one game if they used a little thought and made more and more complex levels. They tend to repeat to very simple layouts at the higher levels, which is just laziness on the part of the devs. I’m not interested in cutesy trains. Give me trains that have different attributes, not just a different paint job or flapping wings.

Every few levels, you are forced to play the coin or gem layout. I couldn’t be less interested in collecting those. I want to be challenged and play increasingly difficult levels without the nonsense of collecting things that only allow you to buy a different looking train.

Devs, take a lesson from the classic popular games from the past. There’s a reason they were successful.

I Would give this game 5 stars if the tracks got harder and harder as u pass more levels. Just like with any free game there is an add following every click 🤦🏻‍♀️🤦🏻‍♀️🤦🏻‍♀️🤦🏻‍♀️🤦🏻‍♀️🤦🏻‍♀️🤦🏻‍♀️🤦🏻‍♀️🤦🏻‍♀️🤦🏻‍♀️🤦🏻‍♀️🤦🏻‍♀️🤦🏻‍♀️. I could even bare the ads if the game got more difficult as it went on. I’m on level 118, and nothing is different. It’s the same as level 1. Exactly the same tracks. PLEASE EXPAND YOUR TRACK AREA. So much potential. You could make your train bigger and bigger, adding more and more passengers. Maybe even Making the tracks longer and harder to maneuver. I keep waiting for a level that is so hard I have to keep trying and trying.

I have had this game for awhile, and enjoyed the first 20 levels, but after that I’d got.. well.... let’s just say there are NO new mechanics after level 10. It’s the same thing. They really had a great idea but there is literally no challenge. A road block, maybe? Crowds? Animals in the road? Other train? Stoplights? It doesn’t take a genius to think of 5 new mechanics. The creators had a good idea, and they did a good job graphically, the ads are almost not there and almost all optional, but there is not further challenge, and I’m on level 102.

This game is probably the most relaxing and rewarding game I have ever played but the thing that killed that last star was all of the ads there was way to many and it was getting annoying I read some of the latest reviews and they also said the same thing I like the fact that we could continue if I died but I think the game would be better if it’s just one ad each day not ad after ad after ad but overall this game is really nice

Thank you for reading my review

- not to many ads / only one ad each day

by AnnaBous

Don't get me wrong I LOVE this game! It's fun and relaxing and should be voted: The most satisfying game of 2019! But the thing that took my star away is the ads. The are unbearable. I love that this game is supporting their sponsors very well but it's too much for players. Once I was in the middle of a game and an popped up after I stopped at a dot. Frustratingly I pressed an the X but it wouldn't work. When the ad ended the game thought that when I was trying to exit the ad that instead I was trying to get the car to move. It went the wrong way and I bumped into he back of the car and lost. It's disappointing because there were only five people left to pick up. And it didn't offer me a second chance! Please don't give that many ads! It can lead to something bad like me. But I thank the creator(s) because this is an awesome game!

First off I do want to say that the game seems fun, however I do understand that some games need to put adds in to generate revenue, but it becomes excessive when the add covers half of the puzzle you are trying to solve and when TrainTaxi asks you to rate it before you have even had a chance to play any of the levels. I don't mind the adds at the bottom of screen because I do understand the need to make some profit somewhere, but removing adds from apps has gotten more expensive each year and I don't want to have to pay just so I can see the puzzle I’m trying to solve.

by Nmwoods95

I literally spend so much time playing this game. It is crazy satisfying to hear the pops when you pick up people. Great sound design and art work.

My only bone to pick.

My only issue is that I have been playing nonstop without any challenging levels. I can go about 50 levels at a time without stoping to think about my next move. It feels like once you pass one level you have passed them all. I would really like to spend some time thinking about a level, currently there is no reason to do that. You can win every time by outer edge first, then middle .Every-map so far.

by PCGamerguy

The gameplay is simple, fun and quick. You have the option to support this developer by an IAP to remove ads. Yes it’s loaded with ads but I will say, they are quick, easy to bypass(like upgrading to VIP), you can multiply your coin rewards with most of them, many aren’t even 30 seconds long, it is NOT after every level, and it doesn’t really take you out of the gameplay experience because this game is literally a 10-15 seconds per level kind of game. Yes it is easy, got to lv40 before I “crashed” into myself, but this is NOT an RPG/FPS/RTS immersive game. Colors and graphics are cute and fun looking, sounds are nice and controls couldn’t be easier. It is a well done game, just has more ads than it should.

by Hddjkigvzqgj

Do you love watching ads? You’ll love this game! Ok developers.. please chill with the ads!!!! The ads took away 1 one of my stars!
But the 4 stars came from how good the game is... I like it because you get to have some levels where you just collect coins or gems. I just got this game and I’m on level 32. I mean the game is fun and can be challenging at higher levels ok there are just 2 things with this game: 1 is the ads and 2 is that it’s just a fun game... you’ll probably like it but you just have to deal with the ads I mean it’s really not that hard. 🤷🏻‍♀️🤷🏻‍♀️🤷🏻‍♀️🤷🏻‍♀️🤷🏻‍♀️🤷🏻‍♀️🤷🏻‍♀️🤷🏻‍♀️🤷🏻‍♀️🤷🏻‍♀️🤷🏻‍♀️🤷🏻‍♀️🤷🏻‍♀️🤷🏻‍♀️🤷🏻‍♀️🤷🏻‍♀️

by Austrige

Look it’s a great game really fun and addictive but there is just one little problem when I start the game it turns black and it makes me think my phone died or isn’t working I would like it if you changed that to another color or maybe a moving train on it you know because it is annoying and I keep forgetting but it’s still a great game !!!!!! I would like it if you could by tracks too like trains and maybe a conductor? Well I’m just saying it but still great game
