Won’t stay in ‘slow’ game mode
Mon Apr 16 2018 plyfdeI love this game and haven’t minded most of the minor bugs the app has dealt with, but since the newest update, the game speed gets faster and faster as I play. I like to play in the ‘slow’ mode, but can only play for a few minutes before it kicks it up to medium or fast. I have to reset the game in order to get it to go back to slow for a few minutes again. I’ve tried deleting and re-downloading it with no luck.
I’ll continue to play because I love it, but I would greatly appreciate a fix to this annoying change.
Bugs prevent play
Fri Jan 21 2022 kristipalmerI wanted to love this app - the dev is going out of his way to protect privacy and make a fun game. But, three times now I have had to delete and reinstall the app due to a bug that (first) prevents any input/interaction, and (second) crashes the game immediately on restart if you try to exit and come back to keep playing. Best description of this bug is: game assumes the full real estate of the screen is usable play area. But, iPhone uses the top center band and bottom center band as areas to control the OS (top: see notifications; bottom: change active app). When selecting a tile in the top band, the tile drops and seems to get “stuck”… it falls onto the board abutting or obscuring other tiles, and the game logic comes to a screeching halt (and then freezes, etc; see above). While I don’t expect a game dev to make bug fixes his full time job, I do expect a paid app with critical failures to be resolved. Five stars for intent, but one star for a fabulously failed execution.
Needs fixes
Tue Jun 07 2022 Kindle 4 iPhoneThe game itself is very fun. The missing star: the app crashes and you have to do a hard reset to start playing again. Also, when the game starts, a player goes through 7 or 8 tiles with a starting count of 5? You haven’t made one play yet! So, hit the restart hand button— or you’ll be behind by 80 points.
Excellent game
Thu Jul 28 2022 ddchernI play this game on my iPhone 12 and various iPads. Works very well for me. An occasional crash but is comes back up fine. My only suggestion is to place the Mexican train in the same spot on the iPhone as it is on the iPad version. Right now the iPhone has the Mexican train at the top but the iPad version has it near the player’s train (which is easier to follow). I would love to play this with others remotely using turn-based or at least live play.
Overall a okay game
Mon Dec 14 2020 Naskart46I love playing Mexican Train, so I downloaded this game. The play is good, but I have noticed 2 major issues that are frustrating. 1st: sometimes when I play on the Mexican Train, it will mark my train as available. 2nd: there are times when one of the computer controlled opponents leaves an open double and the other computer controlled opponents will play on another train and not the required open double. These are really basic rules I feel the game should not have an issue with.
Frustrating game
Fri Jul 30 2021 PagefireLove this game, however the bugs are very annoying😡 I’ve deleted this app. and reinstalled it a few times, in hope that it would improve. I’ve tried every trick I know to get a through a complete game😳
Scott, Thanks for the reply. I’ve started using the game again and have found it very satisfactory!❤️
Problem with first turn rule on my iPhone.
Sat Jan 01 2022 WeebosmomI love this Mexican train game but when I choose first turn rule laying down your whole train on the first turn the game starts to do it then closes out in the middle of playing my complete train. Is this a I phone glitch, because I’ve played successfully on my iPad? Can it be fixed? Or am I doing something wrong?
Lots of bugs
Thu Jun 06 2019 Pam's iTunes AccountFor an app that I purchased there are a lot of bugs!! It will miscount points, give me negative numbers (still haven’t figured how that happened), play one player through for several rounds before someone else can play. Dominos will show up and then go missing and then show up again... just to name a few. It becomes very frustrating!
Too Buggy
Mon Oct 30 2023 GMSargeHad to quit playing. The game rarely follows the any of the 5 rules you have control of. It’s like the computer plays by another set of rules and you play by what is set up. Not the only game by this publisher that has this type of problem. It would be a great game if the computer followed the rules as set up in the settings. It doesn’t!!!
Purchased Twice Because I Loved the Game
Fri Mar 27 2020 ColeetaI purchased this game and loved it so much that when it failed to load consistently I purchased it again. I thought that it was something with an Apple upgrade causing it to fail and I didn’t think the price was bad. However, the second game also began failing to load in a few months. I try it out after each upgrade to see if the bugs had been fixed... but no luck. So a great game is worthless if it can’t be used.
