1. [R2] Thomas & Friends 5/5 · GB Great game but please change it back to the old version!: My 2 year old son has been playing this game for about 4 months and we paid for the whole version because it was great value for money. He loves it but we are not keen on the updated version. It isn’t affecting his play of course but the old version was more in keeping with the Thomas and Friends series and this new version isn’t. It’s stil
2. [R5] Thomas & Friends 4/5 · GB Ok but I don’t like the new look: Paid to get everything all at once. Worth it for me as it my son loves it and I’d rather get everything than have to pay more to get everything separately. I’m not keen on the updated look though, would prefer the option to keep the traditional look for the characters, particularly as that is the same as the toys we have and the episodes we watch.
3. [R12] Thomas & Friends 3/5 · GB Fun but boring: So this game is fun but boring make it more fun please thank you
4. [R29] Thomas & Friends 5/5 · GB ABSOLUTELY COOL: MINI Games,Track Builder,Train Driver, It’s So Much Fun!
5. [R6] Thomas & Friends 3/5 · GB Nice enough game but too expensive £18 for everything: Nice for a 2 to 3 year old they really enjoy it. However constant prompts to buy things and a total cost of £18 is too much. £4.50 for the haunted castle was 2 minutes of simple game. Not good enough and a shabby way to profit
6. [R44] Thomas & Friends 4/5 · GB It’s ok but..: This game is very nice for my child but when he turns of the music and all the other sounds, there’s still background music. Which is very annoying because my child loves to play this, but I am trying to watch TV. Please sort this out.
7. [R50] Thomas & Friends 4/5 · GB Tricky left-handed: The main driving lever can be set to either side which is great. However some mini games use a wheel that has to be turned. It only appears in the right hand position which is difficult for my left handed disabled son. Enjoyable for Thomas fan but needs far more mini games for the £20 paid for all engines.
8. [R4] Thomas & Friends 1/5 · GB £18 for a game that keeps crashing & doesn’t give you everything: After paying £18 nearly to unlock I found that it has glitches were the “gifts” don’t work you can run your train right though some and they stay don’t open and several times it’s crashed completely as in he can’t interact with the mini games… this is the most I’ve ever spent on a game most that have MORE and don’t glitch or crash a
9. [R15] Thomas & Friends 3/5 · GB A little disappointed: My son loves this game but has only had it 24 hours and it has frozen 4 times. We’ve had to switch the device off and restart each time
10. [R16] Thomas & Friends 2/5 · GB Volume is dead: The volume on this App doesn’t work. Please rectify as soon as otherwise it’s a nice App.
11. [R21] Thomas & Friends 3/5 · GB Keeps jamming: Great game but it keeps jamming on the screen and you can’t do anything but delete app and start again
12. [R1] Thomas & Friends 1/5 · GB Parents be warned £18 to unlock fully: As a parent I get increasingly frustrated at games like this squeezing ridiculous amounts of money out to unlock stuff with no real clarity what you are getting and then realising it really is just junk. Yes I know we don’t have to buy it but when we do because your child has earned it or you just cannot bare the meltdown any longer you expect it to be good
13. [R7] Thomas & Friends 1/5 · GB ADS-ADS-ADS!: Ads every few seconds, parents avoid.
14. [R13] Thomas & Friends 1/5 · GB Rip off: If app get deleted it doesn’t restore your purchases as stated
15. [R31] Thomas & Friends 1/5 · GB You pay £19.99 for everything but get nothing: My grandson loves playing this,i purchase all the toys for him at £19.99 but never got anything unlocked,took me weeks to get a refund,im keeping away from BUDGE made games,very dodgy,just read the reviews!!!!!!!
16. [R35] Thomas & Friends 3/5 · GB Unable to restore purchases: In-app purchases are not cheap and there are many bundles that the children will want. That’s bad enough, but when migrating to a new iPad, the “restore purchases” options have not worked after many hours of faffing.
17. [R37] Thomas & Friends 5/5 · GB Paid 19.99 for the in app purchase nothing unlocks SCAM: This is a joke, Paid 19.99 for the buy all the toys and it didn’t unlock a single thing No one to speak to no one to email no one to help with this. Lost 19.99 and now have a very upset 4 year old. Have deleted app, have closed iPad, have gone into purchases and reloaded said app and I have restarted the iPad STILL No purchase recorded
18. [R25] Thomas & Friends 1/5 · GB Waste of money: This app is real simple and very expensive. The idea is great but would include more educational tasks
19. [R20] Thomas & Friends 4/5 · GB Ads ads Ads: Even after buying the full game
20. [R24] Thomas & Friends 3/5 · GB Was good but now adverts all the time: An update has occurred and now there are constant adverts, meant the app my daughters once loved frustrates them. No option to turn them off in the settings
21. [R28] Thomas & Friends 1/5 · GB Too many adverts!: The balance between freemium and watching a constant stream of adverts is way out on this game. Quite a good game that I may have considered spending money on the in game purchases, if not for how relentlessly this game pushed adverts on children. Every 15 seconds there is something that stops game play!
22. [R32] Thomas & Friends 5/5 · GB Great APP: My son loves the app, loads to do and discover. Being a big Thomas &friends fan, this does everything he wants from a game. Only issue we have is that it freezes every time on station passenger pick ups. Other than that great app.
