Thomas & Friends™: Let's Roll+ Apple Arcade

Our Site Score

89/100

What sets Thomas & Friends™: Let's Roll+ apart from other licensed kids' games is its genuine commitment to inclusivity. The inclusion of Bruno the Brake Car, a neurodivergent character, isn't just a surface-level addition; the game's design reflects a calm, sensory-friendly philosophy that makes it accessible for children who might find other games too frantic.

The Track Builder is surprisingly intuitive. My four-year-old was able to create a functional (albeit chaotic) loop in minutes. The ability to then immediately jump into the engine and drive on that track provides a great 'cause-and-effect' learning moment. It’s essentially a digital version of those classic wooden train sets, but without the risk of stepping on a stray piece of track in the middle of the night.

The seasonal updates, like the Autism Acceptance Month and Earth Month events, show that StoryToys is actively maintaining and improving the experience. It’s a wholesome, educational, and high-quality app that every parent with a 'train phase' toddler should have. It respects the child's time and the parents' peace of mind.

Dinsun Review

Dinsun here. It's Thomas the Tank Engine. It's meant for kids who still think trains have faces. As a 'game,' it’s barely functional—you press a button and the train moves. There’s no strategy, no risk, and very little reward. The graphics are 'fine' for a mobile app, but they lack the tactile charm of the original wooden toys or even the CGI show. It’s clearly a licensed cash-grab aimed at parents who need ten minutes of peace. It's not offensive, just incredibly boring.
