The monetization strategy of the game has received significant criticism, primarily due to the overwhelming number of ads and the reliance on in-app purchases. Many users express frustration over the inability to remove ads even after spending money on additional content, and the frequent prompts for purchases disrupt gameplay, particularly for younger players. While some find the in-app purchases reasonably priced, the overall sentiment leans towards the game being overly focused on monetization at the expense of user experience.
- “There are in-app purchases, but they are pretty reasonably priced for an otherwise free game - I doubt everything in the game would come to much more than £20.00.”
- “I love it but since I have to make an in-app purchase to get more trains, can you make a feature where you point the camera onto mini so it can be playable in the game.”
- “Very easy to use app and a lot of fun, but there is very limited free content with 90% of the content being in-app purchases.”
- “Incredible until you lose everything you bought for your child when you switch phones. This includes all extras bought in the in-app purchases!”
- “It could have been a fun idea, but sadly it failed with microtransactions that are aimed at young children. It also contains ads which can be very annoying and are only there to get you to play their other games.”
- “The game itself is great; however, it states that if you buy something, the pop-up ads stop. But they don't.”
