If you have an android device (tablet or phone) feel free to download the latest version of Train Town and give it a try: beta-build-latest-public.apk (version 0.9)

You mean like with just about every piece of software? :hehe: Be happy that you got a estimate about it this time .I'm not going to install something that will just stop working at some point.
Samsung Galaxy S3...
Full of hope when I installed it, within 2 minutes it was asking me for money to be able to choose buildings to place on the track, definitely NOT for children and what a scam, try out a beta indeed. Not worth the effort of downloading, in-app purchases already in the game!
Very disappointed,

Always looking on the bright side of things aren't youMeh, judging by the early reviews, it's not worth it anyway
Always looking on the bright side of things aren't you
As the introduction stated, this product isn't aimed at our core Trainz Simulator audience. One review says "It would definitely be for kids" which is exactly who the product is aimed at (so we take that as a positive rather than negative).
The other talks about in-app purchases like they are the devil. We haven't decided on the final business model, but at some point money needs to change hands to pay for the product. On 90% of mobile products these days, that money changes hands after the product is installed.
The interesting thing is that people walk into a shop and there are hundreds (or thousands) of items for sale. Yet I have never once heard anyone say "I'm outta here - they want me to buy all this stuff - it would cost me thousands to buy everything and all I wanted was a chocolate bar."
With mobile products, you get to walk into the shop (download the game) and even eat chocolate (play the base game) for as long as you like. If you want anything other than chocolate, you have to pay. No-one accuses a shop keeper of being a thief for selling more than one item in his store.

I can think of a very obvious one ... ever been to McDonalds Paul? "Would you like fries with that?" Every meal served in Maccas requires the offer of an upsell add-on. Moving away from food, how long since you bought a car? Yours for only $9999... until you want the parking sensor, rear mirror gizmo, low profile tyres ... that will be $14,990 for your $10k car thank you very much!what kind of shop do you go to that would have "add-on" things you pay for
