4.5 out of 5
Unfair game!😠

Today my little brother was playing this game and he has been trying for about 3 weeks already but he can’t win. When he reaches really close to the finish the other engine immediately wins. He has some of the best engines but he still can’t win. This mostly happens with the following engines,Rebbeca,Deisel, Emily,etc. he’s only 4 years old and he gets very upset and I try To help him and I’m 10 years old but I still can’t do it. I try taping in the start very hard but it still does nothing and the other engine wins. If you don’t have many story engines you will be very upset about the results.

Thank you

Too expensive

ThomasFriends only lets you play with 2 people once so now this game I can’t play with my little brother because it costs money, I think that is stupid. Now, you can’t only use 1 train for each sign during the 2 player trial, and you have to pay money to access a train, and there is no way, like missions, you can do to unlock keys for trains, there is also only one track you can use without paying MONEY. When the trial is over you still have to use one train only, this game needs to expand the variety and not make everything money based, because what’s the point of making it free now. It’s no fun for my brother now because I have to explain to him we can’t do any of those things and now he is sad

Fix your game people, fix your game

Forcing parents to get subscription!

Got this game for my 3yr old. I thought I could still unlock the different train engines for him without paying for a stupid subscription. But no. I realize developers need to make money, but they should charge a ONE TIME purchase to at least unlock no ads. If they're that money hungry, then micro-transactions should be implemented. But parents shouldn't have to pay monthly for an app game that's for their kids. I was trying to grind my way through the game for my kid & once I maxed out Thomas for him, I soon found out, all of that was for nothing as no other engines became unlockable after Thomas was maxed out. Not to mention all of the invasive self-promoting ads & offer ads that keep getting shoved in your face before each race. Very ridiculous! I wish my child could play as other characters, but this game isn't worth a recurring payment charge.

Rather Disappointing Now

As a game that has been untouched for years now, it finally gained new content, but it was not good at all. Old models replaced with reboot models, a change NO ONE asked for. The only decent and playable thomas game, now given up to the plague of the All Engines Go reboot, which is already taking over so many other things too. Back with the former version of this game, I bought the Edward and Ryan pack, along with the Gordon and Spencer castle pack, and the Diesel and Diesel 10 pack. All of that is gone now, and it feel like such a waste, all stolen even. Completely uncalled for, and now the state of this game has alienated most of its audience. Instead of getting a decent update that would’ve made fans happy, we were given a very disappointing surprise. Whoever was in charge of this decision, I don’t know you and I don’t know what you were trying to achieve, but this will get you NOWHERE. This is not how to make fans happy in order for them to continuing playing your game. You’ve heard everyone already, change it back, or refund money. After this, I am deleting this game since it has no use to me anymore and it’s nothing like it was before. What a shame.

Please bring back the old version

My 6-year-old hates the new update. He cried due to all the changes. He wants the old version back. We missed the old styles and the old gentleman’s voice. Some trains are also gone like Yong Bao. To make it worse, all the packs we purchased are gone too. (We unlocked everything.) I tried restoring our purchase but it didn’t work. This update is wrong and ridiculous on so many levels. Please at least give us the option to choose which styles/skins and voice we prefer. Let us choose what we want! Please don’t ruin a perfectly fine game. Thankfully, I turned “automatic updates” off on one device. So we can still play the old version on that device. Thank you for reading.

Taking advantage of kids

My boys loved ThomasFriends before the update. I didn't pay close attention every time they played, but I think they used to unlock trains by winning races. They loved it! They started telling me that all the trains were unavailable again, and now I see it's because the game designers decided to lock everything back up unless a parent is willing to shell out $12. This is annoying for two reasons. 1) That's a stupid amount for a child's game, especially when there are so many great ones for free, and 2) I'm pretty sure my kids unlocked the achievements on their own, and now the game has essentially taken them hostage unless we pay up. Really, at a minimum, they should get two different trains for free so Thomas isn't racing himself. I'll likely delete this game now.

Bring back old update pls

The game was good but i like the old update better you could add a mode in the game where you can play the old update that would be amazing. Plus no new animations or anything all there is is new trains but the game is still good overall. Or maybe put the old game still available on ThomasFriends store. Then i would have liked the game better. I HATE the new update and you have to pay for everything in the game and i don’t like the new update. Please bring back the old version. I liked the cgi better and bring back stream line Thomas pls.

Buying engines

I love the game is really fun I’m gonna be honest but the one thing that bothers me most is that the buy engines and also is way too expensive we don’t get the option to unlock the engine disturb you have to pay for real money if there was game money and if you wanna buy more game money then that makes sense but overall by engine just like way too expensive The whole thing is like 20 bucks and overall is not very fun to only go to players one Andrew because you have to like buy all the engines to get to play with all like they even add a streamline Thomas and if you want to get them you had to purchase all the the engines but there are some parents that doesn’t want to purchase $20 over a game soSuggest to make the engines onlockable like talking Tom and Subway surface could you get out some lemon addition characters to purchase if you want play some special characters but I did all the characters in purchase that’s not cool so please change it and also why is Henry not dare

Unlocking engines

This game is cute and my 4 yr old loves it. My one complaint is that the free version only includes one engine and in order to play two player version you have to subscribe to a $7 per month plan. Wish you could purchase at least one more engine for a one time fee to play two player without the subscription. I’m never going to subscribe. I cannot pay a monthly fee for every app my kid likes. Wish developers would get a clue here. I see so many similar complaints in the reviews. They would probably make more money if they sold the engines and tracks separately than by subscription. They would probably get higher ratings too.

Ridiculous amount of Add’s!!!

We love the game! My 1 year old son is crazy about train and can play the games by him self for the most part, but the add’s take up more time than the game. The golden gear is great in the beginning but when once they have gotten everything for that track the gears should stop showing up. The game tells my some he is going to get a surprise and then doesn’t. Furthermore, every time I look the add for other tracks is showing up. Each set isn’t expensive but they do add up. It might work well as a reward system for a child a bit older than mine. I understand you have to advertise and the surprise mini’s are great but once they are gone the gears should be too. It’s super annoying when your trying help them fix the track and the game pauses multiple times to gain a surprise your not going to get.

By today, a fun game, but lacks OG looks.

As a Thomas fan, I used to love playing this game until it turned to the new looks of “All Engines Go”; the redesigns broke me apart and are plain ridiculous. I hope (and know) that someday, the characters will revert to the way they were back in earlier Thomas & Friends seasons, both prior and after to “Big World! Big Adventures!” from mid-late 2018 to early 2021. For me, I think the Big World! Big Adventures! movie and series is a success, while the All Engines Go reboot is what I continue to hate.

*Mattel should reconsider the redesigns and stop “All Engines Go”.
*The HiT Entertainment era of their version of Thomas rules supreme and is wishing to return.

Frantic fortress

Frantic fortress is a long map can you please make the map a little shorter because with the left is still kind of longer without them there still kind of long and it's like it takes you two minutes to get to the finish light can you please make frantic fortress oh little shorter please and make the other mats a little longer please cause funnel tunnel roaring Falls and daring docksThey are a little too easy so I need it to be longer please on and can you make less racing to become Gold racer and and superstar racer (๑`✪̤◡✪̤)◞ღԵհɑղƘՏღ🙂

I’m disappointed

I played this game when I was younger and it was really enjoyable. But, this recent update makes it no longer nostalgic as it was before. I miss the old game, bring it back. I tried the game after a while just for a sense of nostalgia and I remembered seeing the BUDGE intro all the time, it was so memorable for me to see and hear, I was also very glad to see it. Then after that I see the stupid models and as soon as I hear the new voice, the nostalgia was over, I was very disappointed about it. I am sure everyone agrees that we want the old game back, and I heard about the packs being gone. So please, bring it back to the way it was. I would rate it 1 star but I will give it two extra stars for being a nostalgic game for me.

Loved and now I really hate it

I loved this game when I was 5 I am 11 now and bring back the old models and the old voice I feel like I wanna do stuff I don’t wanna do why did you do this people loved the game just fine and what happened to the other Thomas and friends games bring back the old models and voice actor the nostalgic voice makes me feel joy inside but the kid and the new models gotta go please change or am gonna do things I don’t wanna do am trying to keep my sanity while playing and for god sake bring back streamline Thomas what the heck did he do to get removed bring back the old models and voice I would have give 5 stars but no bring back the old models back >:(

Please budge read this.

Hi there budge, good job on the hard work your games are amazing, but I have a few issues, for some reason no matter what I can’t restore purchases from the old version, I was a bit disappointed that they removed streamline Thomas I use to love that character, also why is the old app purchases still on ThomasFriends Store, I see one for $20 ultimate bundle and $6.99 for subscription I would have gave you 5 stars if it was still $20 ultimate bundle and you keep all the stuff forever then now you can’t even keep all the stuff and pay $6.99, also can you bring back the old styles for go go Thomas and Thomas magic tracks as a button that would be amazing but all engines go are here to not restore my purchases, but besides that keep on doing the good work thank you budge I hope you read it! Bonus just for the people only! I seen a lot of complains for purchasing the ultimate bundle for $20 and losing all of it so I will help you, so go to the settings button on the bottom left, and then enter the numbers it tells you to put, then click restore purchases and you should get all your stuff back, if it doesn’t work complain about it just like what i did in this review, also works for the other budge games! Hope this was useful just like Thomas, have a choo choo day!

Come on it is good

I like how you added streamline Thomas is a really good addition to the game and plus it makes sense because well is streamlined and streamlining engines are supposed to race so yeah this is a really good game but can you please lower the Price of all the engines because like it’s just so hard to actually just get it but I like you know but like it’s a really good game as you know I read it a five star because it’s not just because it’s basically good but it also is a cool racing game but can you please add online it makes it harder and it makes it cooler because like then you can race your friends without even playing on the same device

Third favorite game on my whole tablet.

Pretty amazing Game and I love this game🧟‍♂️🧟‍♂️🧟‍♂️🧟‍♂️🧟‍♂️🧟‍♂️🧟‍♂️🤦🏻‍♂️🥉🥉🥉🥉🥉🥉🥉🥉🥉🥉🥉🥉and plus you can always start out With Thomas on your first try and you have to have a lot in your account because you need to buy the other trains and other tracks otherwise you’ll only have one challenger in this Track called Funnel tunnel!$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$. But if you buy the three other tracks that are called frantic fortress and daring docks and roaring Falls. And then after you by the tracks you also get two trains every track that you get and there’s only four tracks........................lol 😂 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣😂😂😂🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣.............................................

Changed my life (and then made it worse :((((()

my wife was going to divorce me but we played this game together and now even though she brings her friend brad over every night i still have custody of the kids Update: she took the kids with brad. i have nothing left, of course for my limited edition thomas the tank engine memorabilia including my thomas chairs, bed, lamps, wallpaper, glasses, table, tv, grand piano, vase, staircase, paintings (done by leonardo davincho) cake (it is 13 years old), coathangers, and toilet. I am left completely alone in my thomas shaped tennessee mansion with no one to share my love or passion for thomas the tank engine for. i hate you brad i hope you get hit by gordon or percy. i want the kids back shanon. ☹️

Cool game, other engines should be cheaper

I purchased ThomasFriends awhile ago, and just found out about the update. I love the update and like the animation in it a lot. My issue with it is that you have to pay $18 to unlock all of the other engines. Anchor thing I would like to bring up is that, I would most likely purchase Rosie is she was separate, BUT they just had to pair her with Flynn so it’s double the price. I like this game a lot but I completed all the achievements on Thomas so I don’t have as much of a reason to play since I can’t earn anything else, enless I purchase more engines. The update is very cool though! I would recommend for kids, and adults alike! I hope this review was helpful and I think you should download ThomasFriends . Thanks for reading, bye!

My dad purchased all of the engines

So when I first had ThomasFriends I did really good on this and you’ll have to see this and my daD purchased all of the engines I made myself awesome and guess what happened I made almost all of my engines super engines it was fun and that is it for this rieview and make sure you click the but make a reply of it and you could write about ThomasFriends and will see yours and I’ll like and goodbye
