Too many bugs
Almost every game that I play, despite having adequate active knights, my cities are destroyed.
Also, every single game I can’t trade about 75% of the time, because the AI characters glitch and trade offers last Millie seconds before there removed. Even if they stay long enough for me to trade, half of the time my trade is ignored and it goes to the next turn. My Wi-Fi is fine, I have updated the app, I’ve deleted and reinstalled, logged off and back in again. No dice. I’ve reached out to developers with recorded evidence and they haven’t responded.
Maaan, this is so frustrating! I really love this game but if fixes aren’t made or devs continue ignoring my requests I’ll have to delete the game before I throw my iPad out the window!Show lessmetamorphu
1 game… 1 game every 24 hours?
So I’m new to Catan and I saw this free version of the game and they gave me one game I got to go through the tutorial and I got one game and said that I didn’t get another game for 24 hours no I understand if you guys want to sell maps or skins or any like cosmetic things but to only get one game every 24 hours is ridiculous and then on top of that you have another game which is the classic version it’s only five dollars so I could buy the classic version for five bucks or I could pay two dollars for 200 games now the price if you were to sell it like that is reasonable I suppose because I wouldn’t see myself needing more than 200 games if I’m still getting one game every day but as a new player I can’t believe that you would give me at least 10 or 20 games for free to get me into the game but only one game you give me one game to start out with and then you start asking for money like how much supposed to learn the game how much supposed to get into the game I’m very flabbergasted by this and if you expect people to actually play your game and possibly pay to play which I think is ridiculous against AI nonetheless I would really highly suggest you give a new player more than one game more than five games more than 10 games give somebody 1520 games so that they can actually practice and then learn how to playShow lessDemilord
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.

King card cannot be placed
Update: the issue with the king card was resolved the game still needs to be simplified with the controls but none the less it’s a great game with developers who are making consistent adjustments and updates. I highly recommend!
The game is good until it comes time to place the king card once that happens when you click it your finger is able to drag it around the screen but it won’t place, when you remove your finger from the screen the king card goes back into your deck. They need to just make it a button to press verses dragging it it’s to complex and needs to be simplified. If this gets fixed then honestly the game would be worth 5 stars but it ruins the game play entirely so it’s my ranking is 3 stars until this problem is fixed. I did look online but could not find anyway to place the king card so I’m really hoping for an update that addresses this issue. It’s a game with great potential!Show lesskris hood
Tweaks that would help
I do really enjoy playing this: it is my go to relaxation app, but as I play it on the phone , I find it quite frustrating that the contrast between player colours and scores are so poor. It makes it really hard to keep
Track of everyone’s progress if you have to keep ducking out of the game to check on scores in the details! Also, purple and brown, and pink and red are scarcely able to be distinguished- so I’ve taken to aborting a game where those colours come up together - I just can’t tell the difference between them unless I really zoom in! Just altering the intensity/ shade of the colours so they are less similar, and adding a contrast colour for the scores ( white would probably work best on most colours, rather than black or a deeper self colour as seems to be the case at present! ) would be a simple fix to improve the game! Thanks in advance!Show lessMadauntiealis
Love the game but….
Fell in love with the game again and after a few tutorials, I figured it was worth the buy. However as far as I can tell there is no perks to having paid for it at all. Still have to wait for the “suns” to load and I can’t play it offline. I can still play the seafarers expansion pack despite not buying it (and any other expansion pack) which is great but there’s no perk for buying the core game in the first place. Playing for free is exactly the same game play as if you pay for the core board game 🤷♂️ dunno how that works. So I would love it if having bought something, there's no limits on it like the free stuff. And that you can play it off line as I want to play while travelling.

Someone needs a statistics lesson
Funny, when I play this game is real life I hardly ever see the number seven rolled 27 times in a game that had only 80 turns. That’s every three turns for those doing the math…. Anyone who downloads this app will surely notice some seriously suspicious patterns when it comes to the dice. The above example is not an outlier. Seven is rolled entirely too often - sometimes several turns consecutively - and usually happens coincidentally when you’re leading a game by several points. Suddenly, you’ll find yourself going a dozen turns in a row without collecting anything and having all of your items taken away from the robber, because obviously they always put the robber on one of your positions. Just as an example, the last game I played I clearly had the strongest positions on the board. I was winning by several points. Out of the last 24 rolls, I counted the number eight was rolled 6 times in 8 turns alone; seven was also rolled 6 times. The numbers I needed in order to win (6, 5, 4, or 10) were never rolled. The developer might argue I’m just being a sore loser but those statistics are virtually impossible and it happens constantly in this game. I could go on and on with examples like these. I should note that there is another setting that allows you to change the probability of the dice but you will find it is just as goofy as the default setting. Not sure what the point is in making the game so obviously skewed in favor of the computer.Show lessbehduajqnshi
Amazing game; app recently got much worse
Since a few months ago (when they “upgraded” the servers), the app and login experience got much worse for me, sadly. I couldn’t login to my old account where I had purchased the full expansions. I wrote to support a couple times and no luck. I have now created a new account and purchased the game again.
Now, when I switch apps or even lock my phone, when I switch back into the app, it crashes and I have to restart it, log in again, and find the game I was playing.
Please fix these issues or undo the “upgrades” you made.Show lessipavkex
Terrible terrible app
I love catan and have been playing for years. I’ve begrudgingly played with this app over the years dealing with the constant bugs and issues because it’s basically the only option. After hundreds of hours of play I finally reached the rank of grandmaster. That’s when the development team decided to migrate their servers. I’ve come to find out that my account has been lost in the migration with no option for recovery. The support team first told me that my account never existed. After I found a screenshot of my position on their leader board, their solution is for me to simply create a new account and start over. What an absolute joke. They have made it very clear that there is no way to adjust the ranking of my new account. You would think they would of backed up and recorded the leader board ranking if this was at all a possibility during the migration.
What prompted me to write a review is that I just launched the app to create a new account and it’s so buggy that I can’t even do that. Keep up the good work dev team!Show lesskevin kiley
Used to be great
Game used to be an amazing free game now I can’t login or create a new account and everytime I play as a guest it crashes. Used to be great with these crashes, 0/10.jerfjtujc
