Latest reviews of The Official Guide to Pocket Trains app for iPhone and iPad

Fix the map please!
This is a great help for playing pocket trains, but the main reason why i bought this app was for the map feature, and all it shows is a blue screen, which i can never get away from, no matter how much i zoom out or how much i move around. If you could fix that, that would make this app a 5 star app.
Not worth it
This contains absolutely no useful information.
Fix the map!
Please fix the map! The only reason I got it is because of that feature. It just gives me a blue screen :( it would be useful if you could actually connect the lines together like you do on the game and change the colors as such instead of just using a pen to draw over the map. PLEASE FIX!!!
BAD, BAD, BAD!!!
ok, 0,89 is a very low price but: - "swipe" interface is not working, hiding contents - mapping tool is not what you desire, its more "paint like", instead of being original map with unlimited tracks to put in it..please change it! - train list is not searchable fix it... or just go to wiki page that works 1000 times better
Crashing on iPod 4th Gen
What Ive seen of the guide looks interesting, but unfortunately Ive only seen two slides; if I try to view more, the app crashes. The crash happens when I slide to the next slide, usually the slide from the second to the third slide after the title. It may be a problem with my outdated device, however. Many apps that have updated for and/or been optimized for iOS 7 have crashed similarly. To the devs, please look into this bug, if it is indeed a bug, and to potential users, buy with caution.
