In the browser this game isn't bad to play, but the mobile app is terrible. Loading takes forever, actions take a long time to register, some screens are simply broken, sometimes I can't login at all, and the sound settings are ignore (they are always on). It just feels like a lot of these issues are extremely easy to fix, they just aren't being fixed, which is sad.

Hi Chris and thank you for the feedback. Have you already tried contacting our game support - could be this is a technical issue we can solve together, especially since the browser version runs well for you. Improving the mobile experience is one of our top priorities.

Recently, there have been issues with bugs crashes and other issues. They have gone from one operatin system to another, and the transition has been anything but smooth. The most recent update fixed some of them, but in order to play, have to go to play store and start game from there, as the icon to start from a home screen disappeared and is nowhere to be found. That would be a welcome fix for me.

Hi Shawn, thank you for the review. Did the app not create a launch icon for your mobile or how do you join the game?

Hi Robert, a warm welcome to our Rail Nation forum to ask questions and discuss about the game with other players and with team members. Changing the review (12th time) with different general questions or support requests is not really the best or fastest way to get answers. Link to forum: https://wbb.rail-nation.com/
