Great Game OFC. However there's currently an issue when connecting to the Google Play Account. In-order to boot the application: long hold on the Application Icon, select choose profile choose then the ask every time option to boot the game. A minor fix if you want to play but the save data is gone. Otherwise, wait for an update. If they're working on it hopefully.

★★★★ Ben Griffiths 4/22/2026 v1.2.655
This is an app riddled with bugs. In Ride Designer, the views go blank at random so you can't see the car or train you want to focus on. It's super laggy. There is a noticeable one sec delay after swiping. And they also lock you out of higher tiers unless you beat a specific number of former tiers. I hate this format. The complete a ride objectives are hard to use even on a phone with a big screen.
★★★★ Bryan Perdue 4/4/2026 v1.2.46

I'm sad I've been playing this game awhile and paid for it it all the sudden stopped working on my tablet idk if an update went out but i uninstalled and re installed several times cleared cache memory nothin is working the app won't run and shut down I initially didn't have a problem but all of a sudden it won't work can it be fixed?

★★★★ Ismael Barros 3/4/2026 v1.2.46
Horrible experience with Play Pass. I got this game with Play Pass and was able to play it several times, but now every time I try to play it tells me I need to buy the game. If I tap "Buy game", Google Play tells me it's already purchased. If I tap "Subscribe to Play Pass", the app tells me there was an error and that I need to close it and open it again. I've already tried to uninstall it and install it again (I sure hope my save games weren't deleted...), but it didn't work.

★★★★ Nicholas Mitrani 3/1/2026 v1.2.46
constantly crashes dont waste your time

game shuts down instantly after opening the app

Canary Mines crashing and ruining experience
★★★★ Jacob Paul 2/6/2026 v1.2.46
Immediately crashes on launch when downloaded from Goolge Play. My old side-loaded version from my S7 Edge still works flawlessly. They say you get what you paid for, but in this case it's the opposite. I already paid for the game multiple times on windows, so I don't feel at all bad pointing out that I'm running a sideloaded unofficial version of your app because your official version is COMPLETELY BROKEN. Way to go.
★★★★ Melissa Tucker 1/25/2026
Was playing, game stopped working randomly in the middle of playing. now it won't work at all. sucks, loved the game when its working...
★★★★ SHoRM 12/22/2025 v1.2.46
edit it's been 3 months I've emailed with atari support multiple times and they tell me they will look into it and proceed to do nothing. game not working anymore I've Uninstalled and reinstalled stilling having bugs says contact developers! I've contacted the developers weeks ago they keep reassuring me that there doing somthing about it but have yet to actually do somthing about it.
★★★★ Pete Moore 12/11/2025 v1.2.46
keeps crashing had this on the phone for a year now. and it wont even get past the load screen i keep trying every now and then. was crashing from day on
★★★★ Evan Thurston 12/5/2025 v1.2.46
Don't waste your money on this app. It took them 5 years to update. Then they updated it and made it worse Atari should have stuck with pong
★★★★ M Guimond 11/29/2025 v1.2.46
Crashes every time I pinch zoom. Edited to one star as this is still a problem. More so in One UI 8.0.
★★★★ R Stott 11/26/2025 v1.2.46
This game was working perfectly for years and now it crashes every time I pinch zoom? I lost all my saves and coaster designs reinstalling to fix this bug.
★★★★ Joseph Hager 11/26/2025
Playing this game on mobile is like trying to fly a plane that's floating on the ocean while hanging upside down blindfolded and the only view is through a mirror that doesn't have any glass in it. It's awesome for all the basic levels, but you'll quickly realize why its free with Google playpass. It should be a crime to charge moneyfor this.
★★★★ Kristine Barrett Carballo 11/25/2025 v1.2.46
error upon start up..very disappointed
★★★★ Adonia Smith 11/21/2025 v1.2.46
keeps crashing.
★★★★ Christopher Radenovic 11/16/2025
Rollercoaster Tycoon years ago ran into a problem and had to rerelease the game on Android. They promised everyone who had bought the game a game code. I STILL am missing a game code, 5+ years later. I contacted Google which forced them to send me codes for the game and the dlcs, but they (I think intentionally) sent me an expired code for one of the dlcs. I have never bought an Atari product since. Buyer beware, they will steal from you.
★★★★ M F 11/14/2025 v1.2.46
confusing and difficult to manage
★★★★ Shauna Ward 11/11/2025
Was super excited, but can't get past the 2nd screen. I can select Start New Park on the first screen, but the green button for Start New Park on the second screen just doesn't do anything. I've tried selecting different locations, but can't get past that 2nd screen.
★★★★ Lisa Stone 11/6/2025 v1.2.46
can't even get through the how to play it before it crashes
★★★★ Richard Lenahan 11/5/2025 v1.2.46
This game used to be my favorite game to play on my phone, but I recently had to get a new phone and it made me repurchase the game. I though maybe it was a different version, but when I purchased and went to play it. It had all my save info but none of the dlc packs I bought, maps i made, or rides i saved, but it is definitely the same game... One star for trying to make me purchase everything twice 👎
★★★★★ K E 2/24/2026
I love RCT, but this app version crashes too often.
★★★★★ Christina Onorato 2/1/2026 v1.2.46
wish I could figure out how to get an expansion pack
★★★★★ R. S. 1/15/2026 v1.2.46
Why in the world can I not charge admittance?
★★★★★ Jack Roberts 12/30/2025 v1.2.46
I've now had to buy this game again after previously buying the old version.... . sucks I've had to pay twice for the same game !!!!
★★★★★ matthew soto 12/22/2025 v1.2.46
game is ok and nostalgic but not being able to change admission price greatly impacts the game/income of your park. this makes it impossible not to rely on loans and making a profitable park. please update this as it would make the game substantially better!
★★★★★ Happy Grump 11/10/2025 v1.2.46
It's good but 8/10 times it's uncontrollable. Tiniest input on screen and park moves fast. It's as if the screen is too sensitive. Tried on 2 devices and same error. Makes doing anything near impossible even using a stylus. Otherwise, it is as great as always. Please fix!
★★★★★ Gemjaro ART 11/9/2025 v1.2.46
could play one park very buggy. app closes when trying to open some parks, rollercoasters don't run on some. needs bugs fixing ASAP. I got on play pass, would be gutted if I paid for it.
