App has gotten a lot worse since server migration
Since the latest server migration the game has become a lot more buggy. It will exit me at random times. I have to login every single time I open the app. Whenever I try to play an expansion game like seafarers it won’t load even though I have the sun to play it.snattles
Not able to connect and play
I was fine with the odd freezing of the game and things not quite working right all the time. But now I simply am not able to log in! I keep getting directed to change password so I do that and then nothing happens… feeling a bit ripped off now after paying money for something I can’t access. Please fix this!!Show lessButlers Owner
Game does not work
Their servers are all messed up right now, unusable appHejdxnsknsjxdow
Was really good until …..
This game was excellent until suddenly the multiplayer option started glitching. This is where you can choose your opponents. This no longer works effectively- players appear offline when they are online and when ready they are seen as not ready - finally when they are ready the game gets stuck in handshake mode. From their perspective the host disappears from the host perspective the game hangs - this is extremely frustrating and is not being sorted out. Their website refers to server migration- perhaps they should not have changed. The game is unplayable in multiplayer mode. Very very disappointing.Show lessgandalong
Great to terrible
With the new update the game went from smooth, fun, easy with no problems to problem after problem after problem. It’s been horrible since they switched servers. Can’t play multiplayer anymore and I also have to log in every single time opening the app. It’s been the worst update ever.tappintaptap
Too buggy and rough AI
It’s decently fun to play online but if you play against AI it feels rigged. The game actually includes a dice roll feature but, say you have a settlement on two 6’s. Those two 6’s will rarely get rolled then a robber will get put on it and like 5 in a row will be a 6. So, the bell curve is somewhat realistic by the end but the actual turns those numbers are rolled on is stacked against you. Clever way to cover for AI that can’t compete against a human naturally I guess.
All that aside, its still pretty fun but its actually unplayable at this point. For about a week now, the app just won’t load. Originally, I would try to play and it would reach the main screens but after I clicked the play button it would just say I was out of suns every time (even though I wasn’t and I tried on 3 different days w/ no success). Online mode would just say “this feature is unavailable while offline” but my internet has been fine and all my other games function normally. I deleted and reinstalled but now it just perpetually loads on the sign in screen. I’ve tried logging in, registering a new account, and playing without an account but nothing will load. I’ve tried on wifi and LTE. I’ve tried using a VPN to mask my IP address. Nothing works.
What’s the point of an app you can’t use?Show lessConan1247
So much potential but just a big disappointment
This could be such a great game but it’s just utterly frustrating. The dice are rigged and the AI players gang up against you. I can tell from the start of a game which numbers will be rolled most frequently by the tiles the AI players have chosen. Sometimes it can be a common number like 6 or 8 and sometimes it will be a 4 or an 11, but it will always be whatever the AI players choose and I haven’t. Or my number will be rolled but only after the robber has been placed on my tile - then it will roll 7 times in a row. It’s so predictable.
I give up - what a waste of time!Show lessRed Wine and Chocolate
Single Player is Infuriating
I really need this to better. I’ve literally played 100’s of single player games and my family is tired of hearing my apoplectic complaints about the AI rigging. It seems as if the only way the developers could find to make the AI “skillful” is to rig the dice rolling, card stealing and AI targeting. Don’t have a 5 but, AI does? Guarantee it will roll off the hook. Have eight cards? The robber will almost always roll. AI will trade with each other, even against their best interest, but almost never trade with you (half the time they’ll have resource monopoly and steal back what they traded). Seriously, I could go on and on about how this teaming and game advantages are bestowed on AI. What makes no sense though, is AI decision making which can be random and ridiculous at times. Is there no way to make AI smarter and then balance the randomization? It makes this game infuriating and uninteresting. I win games all of the time that I would probably lose to humans, and I lose inexplicably to miracle dice roll runs that defy probability. Uggghh!Show lessMarvellaise
Give us more customisation!
I find it fustrating that I just paid 8 dollars for a game I can’t a.) play a single player match how I want to play it , b.) play a multiplayer game with me and just a mate . Why do we need 3 player minimums let us play with 2. Finding the dice anything but random , and ai consistently expert still yet to win a game at 10 points but beyond that I have a chance … this is nothing like playing with humans with the physical board. Then there’s the extra expansions don’t get me started should be part of the normal game … but seeing as it Dosent add anything to the more than fustrating game I’m glad I didn’t have to pay for it …. 👎🏽 such a great board game let down by the devsShow lessPusstcatsnr
Stuck in “rejoin” for days now
This app has so many bugs. It kicks you out of multiplayer games often. Now it is not letting me play at all. It kicked me out of a game earlier and now every time I try to login to play it spins with “rejoining” at top of the screen and won’t let me do anything. I’ve tried deleting the app, and downloading again. Also tried hard reset of iPad. Nada. Still spins rejoining. I love playing Catan so do often and i have buggy stuff happen in about 33% of my games. Sometimes it doesn’t recognize cards I have. Especially if I steal them from rolling a 7. Also has made me give up settlements in nights and cities game when ship hits even when I had an active night. Happens way too often. Very frustrating. I emailed the help link once and the response was arrogant and rude. I needed help logging in. The guy said “if I helped everyone I’d be doing this all day” as if I was bothering him. I’m disappointed in this app.Show lessspyder1616
