Add ability to mute group chat
Some players are really aggressive and question you and harass you every time you put a robber on their spot; use cards to steal their resources, etc. That is what you are supposed to do! It’s the game! It’s worse in the basic game than in Cities and Knights. People use really insulting and offensive language. It’s really upsetting. It just means that I play on single mode most of the time. It ruined trying to play with others for me. Please make it possible to just block group chat. It’s so unnecessary anyway. Also, most of the trade offers I accept from AI characters simply disappear or go to other AI players so fast. That’s really frustrating. Also, the robber just comes up too often. That’s annoying, but it shouldn’t come up during the first round when you’re trying to build knights. Lately the first round has also been going by way too fast and most players lose their cities. The last issue is that a robber will land on your spot and many times that number will roll 4 or 5 times in a row while the robber is on that exact number! All these things combined take the fun out of playing. Thanks!Show lessMute Me Please
awful
game suddenly just stopped and did not continue. i tried clicking in every single button nothing worked and i just had to quit the game. awful experience. not recommended to download and such a waste of timezuvysaurus
Great game, horrible developers.
I have never experienced a game with so much glitches/ bugs ever! It’s sad because it’s such a great game! My family and I used to always play the board game in person. Since we live I different cities we were all so excited when we discovered we could play this online on our phones! That excitement quickly became anger/frustration when we realized it’s almost impossible to set up the game to play with your family/friends online. Always get an error message when trying to invite a friend from your friend list. It was just a nightmare. In about 6 months we were probably able to make it work just a few times. Every time an “update” would come up, we were positive and thought maybe they had fixed that issue, but NOPE, same problem as ALWAYS.
If you want to play with family/friends online, do yourself a favor and try Colonist io. I discovered it about 2 weeks ago-download it- asked my family to download it-created and account- added each other as friends- and guess what? It actually works. No glitches/ bugs/ error messages/ lost communication with server/ nothing like that. Just fun playing with my family. You can become a member which unlocks more maps, modes, etc but it is a bit pricy (monthly payment) but I personally think it is worth it as it connects me with my family and allows us to have some fun. We play it all the time now. Sad these developers have never been able to fix that issue.Show lessJRA1987
Disappointing
It all started so well when I first installed this and games were fun and even but now the AI seems broken. AI players team up (even if one of them looks to be running ahead of the others) and sadly the dice are heavily rigged in favour of the AI players.
Last game before I uninstalled it was a classic example. Somehow was allowed a good starting position and had to sit back as the AI players rolled four whole rounds of 4s and 9s (the only numbers they had to themselves) and 7s (to steal produce). By the third time around it had become a bit of a joke.
Seriously, good game adaptions (see “Ticket To Ride”) have skilled players who you can watch and learn tactics from. Bad adaptions like this bend the rules to cover poor decision-making by the other players. Save your money and buy the board game. This is poor.Show lessAdinfinitum-X
Great app other then full of bugs
The app and setup work great other then it’s full of bugs. I was hoping the new update would improve but it seems worse. I keep getting locked out of games and it goes to ai yesterday I was playing and we were half ways thru the game and all of a sudden it time lapsed to the beginning. It’s so frustrating to use idk why they can’t figure it outShow less1music2play
Buggy but potential
I’d like my money back. The app is full of bugs, it just logged me out of my account in the middle of me playing a game, which means I’ll be booted from the game and I’ll be penalised, despite it being the app malfunctioning.
After paying for the base game, have discovered the frequency of 7s rolling is so disproportionate it makes the game almost unplayable a lot of the time. It seems like a glitch or something but all players are experiencing it, it’s ridiculous.
The styling and gameplay itself are quite good and has a lot of potential, but right now is too frustrating to keep trying to play, especially after having spent money on it.
Also, like other online versions of Catan I’ve played - a lot of very aggressive people playing who get abusive in the chat almost instantly. Really unpleasant, but the app creators can’t be held responsible for that.Show lessmishfulthinking
Rigged play makes it annoying
Update: the dice rolls aren't too bad now but my cities are only paying out 1 resource instead of 2 so it stills feels impossible to get ahead. There's nowhere in the app to submit issues with the programming.
I tried the free version for a few days and it was fun so I bought it. I haven't even come close to winning one game since I bought it. It seems insane that the dice rolls are hitting 5s 3 out of 6 rolls in the AI's favor. Every 2 turns it benefits me but the rest of the rolls alternate between my opponents getting resources or them getting the robber and placing it on my hexes and stealing from me. One turn 3 of the 4 opponents rolled a 7 and moved the robber around all of my hexes stealing from me. Also, none of the AI will trade with me even if I offer up to 5 cards in a number of combos to get one card. So I'm stuck trying to save up to trade but magically when I finally get enough to do what I need a 7 is rolled making me throw out 1/2 my cards. They had an outage to upgrade the system at the time I bought it so I'm not sure if this is the paid version or the new "upgrade" but it makes playing the game feel pointless and annoying since the dice rolls and all the opponents team up against you.Show lessMaevemoss
Brutal,
If you enjoy sitting down to Catan this game will ensure you throw your phone across the room. In order to ensure difficulty level it rolls numbers that the computer has so you loose. The programmers need to be fired.F U 456666
Glitches Constantly - Do Not Buy
This app will log me out every few months and tell me my password is incorrect. Then, I’ll go through the Forgot my Password process, be sent a code, and THAT won’t work. I’ve contacted the company a few times over this issue. I wouldn’t waste your money on this app you will rarely have access to.Rains65
Game has severe issues
I think I speak for everyone when I say this game has gone downhill. We pay to have the game and can’t even access it 90% of the time. Trading with bots seems impossible as they skip the players and trade with other bots. So many glitches, bots are able to take MY resources and use them as their own. Most recent issue is nobody can even log on! App says “you need to update” but there is no update available. Server maintenance nights seems to do more damage than fixes. I used to love playing this game, now it’s impossible and frustratingShow lessLilagorilla
