On Metacritic the only versions are CMS 2014 and CMS 2015 for PC. It's one of those games that the critics didn't like much but which many ordinary users who love car mechanics rated 9/10 to 10/10. The general consensus of users was if you're drawn to it get it. And Switch version should be even better than the PC version.
@Lionyone I've played 73 hours of CMS 2015 on PC and really enjoyed it, I guess it's just down to personal preference (never only listen to the critics). I've just downloaded the (free) Android version and comparing it with gameplay footage on the Switch I can see that it's exactly the same game - and I haven't been able to put it down all evening. lol
The main differences I can see between CMS 2015/2018 and this is that they've changed the look and feel (you can't walk around your garage/cars), removed the grind (of loosening/tightening every single bolt) and omitted the test-drive/diagnostic part (which won't really be missed anyway).
All in all its a great simulator on whichever platform you play it on.
I agree @ashfoxx I bought it on discount for Switch and am sad to report that it is CMS2018, but even more cut-down and simplified than the mobile version.

Very good game.
Where is the review for this game? It's totally awesome, and a really really good way to learn all about car mechanics #Edutainment
@Kit @Fiddo Thanks very much guys! I was wondering and I'll get it now!

Switch version = android version - not worth the money.
The good one is Car Mechanic Simulator Pocket Edition. It's a port of CMS 2015 from PC, where this was the awful Mobile port.

@Kit as I stated, they did port CMS2015 to Switch about a month ago. CMS Pocket Edition.
