Beautiful game, but needs some bug fixes
This is a beautifully designed game, with not annoying music, cool facts, and non-stressful strategy. Rare combo, I think. The reason for my low rating though is the bug fixes that haven’t been addressed. I play this game a lot and really wish they’d work on these. There are certain cards (between turns, egg laying cards for instance) that give advantages, but they won’t always work like they should and this makes the computer seem like it’s cheating you. It can really mess up your strategy when you were counting on it. Of course if you play the physical game this won’t happen, you might forget for being human, but the online game should be adjusted. Also, sometimes the game will crash halfway through and there’s no getting back to it. It will close and you reopen the app like nothing happened. But overall, really do recommend the game.Show lesslolololand
Kinda adore this game?
First off, some of my fav games on iOS are Istanbul, mystic vale, magic the gathering, smash up, stardew valley, prune, frost, magic the gathering, brawl stars, so I cover the gamut of games. I wanted something that requires some strategy without needing to sink too much time, and wingspan fit the bill. The art work is gorgeous. The learning curve is a little steeper than most of the games above, but no worse than Istanbul / smash up / mystic vale. And the game is rewarding insomuch as when you start to get it, you’ll catch the flow of whether to cede rounds for the win or run the table for points. Games take about 5 min or so, sounds great, overall well worth the price. Also If you’re an animal lover, they’ve also layered in great info on the actual birds.Show lessmobuli
The achievement awards are not always awarded correctly. And NOW shows “locked”
I generally love the game, but I just finished a game with 42 bonus points but was not awarded the “Bird’s Best Subject: owl-jay-bra” achievement award for getting 30 bonus points or more in one game. This time i archived the game to prove I should have gotten my award. I know it’s just a game, but to have achievement awards & then not attribute them correctly is annoying. Also, I wish there was some interface besides this “write a review” to connect with someone And new problem, Why are some achievement awards “locked” (what does that even mean?) it shows as 96% achieved (what does THAT mean?), but locked so I can’t even look at the description.
New update: I “achieved” the award AGAIN! The badge flashed up congratulation me, but when I look at my achievement board, it still says I haven’t achieved the “Bird’s Best Subject: owl-jay-bra”. I think there is a big problem with this award!!!Show lessCMH-Miami
Confusing to the point you can’t play
Despite a tutorial, the game needs a help function for new players. There are too many things blocking or limiting actions, and it’s not clear what the objective of the game is and what you should try to do in each round…and have to do to end a turn. Until someone has played a few games, they don’t know what to do and what is blocking them from moving or ending the turn. Give a helper that advises or explains what to do. Either let us turn that on, or set it up automatically to give a hint if we click something we can’t do three times or sit for too long without an action. Otherwise, it’s just too complex to even play a game once all the way through by yourself, and you don’t even let you look at the bird cards if they haven’t been used in a game yet. So it’s just a junk app you can’t do anything with! It’s complex, so make a more robust helper and not just a long tutorial that still dumped you out without a clue how to play the rest of the game it stated.Show lessbirdfeathers
Enjoyable until it crashes then infuriating
It was fine for the first few weeks, but now it crashes daily and I lose everything. I recently added the European bird pack (wondering if that has anything to do with it), but I will not spend the money on the Oceana as long as this is an issue. I have had it happen while playing AI. I wish unfinished games could be saved since they can take a while to play. If the game crashed and the progress was saved, it would not be so infuriating. If it keeps happening, I will quit playing and consider all the money I have spend so far as just going down the drain. It will be a shame, because this game is a nice product that I would be perfectly willing to pay for it it worked properly and was reliable. The iPad I use is one of the latest with plenty of memory and my Wi-Fi is strong and meant for many users at once.Show lessJTurn70
Heartbreaking Stability Ruining a Beautiful Gaming Experience
This is the only review I’ve ever written in my life. What an absolute shame. As an avid board gamer both in person and online I can honestly say that this game is the most well designed I’ve ever played. The interface is sleek and beautiful. The soundtrack is serene and well compliments the spirit of the game. The bird sounds and facts might well function as a stand alone educational app for bird lovers. It’s both wonderful and addictive in its replayability. The game is complex but masterfully simplified in the interface as well as the above average help tags.
Which is why it’s infuriating that the otherwise perfect gaming experience is fatally destroyed by the complete lack of stability of the game. It crashes easily 12+ times a sitting. As others have written, you cannot look at opponents boards without the app crashing, a vitally important part of gameplay. I finally decided to write this review because I was unable to finish a game in the 2nd to last turn after a repeating crash loop.
Shame on the developers for working on the expansion of a unfinished product. Shame on them for working so hard on developing a beautiful gaming experience only to set it on fire in quality control. Shame on them for taking peoples money and providing this in return.
I sincerely hope they read this and wake up and fix the problem. It’s embarrassing performance.Show lessctkevb
Great gameplay. 1 important thing missing
I apologize if maybe I just don’t see this feature…. But I wish their was a way to 1. Friend request people and have it easily ready to invite them to games instead of having to remember and type the name every time. 2. I wish there was a “ play again” or “ rematch” button to just go right into a new game with my group of friends that I just played with ( again , to not have to go through starting a new game and remember their names and typing them in and making sure the capital letters are the same. Etc)
Edit *. Also it would be amazing if there was a way to note in game what your next turn would be. Like if you could put numbers like 1-10 in order like on a specific card or on a specific actions ( like take resourse or take eggs or take cards ) so when you play in sync mode you kind of can back in your rhythm !Show lessCastielllll123
Fantastic Board Game Adaptation … Moments of Zen
Wonderful game. Beautiful art and animations. Fantastic voice over. Zen music. Fantastic expansions. My wife and I love playing this version with our friends in different states. Look up a review of the board game of Wingspan if you are hesitant about purchasing this and know this is spectacular, true-to-form adaptation.
Developer Request - Please enable us to select which end of round goals we’d like to play with for custom games or specifically let us pick the “no end round goal + 1 additional turn for future rounds” as our first goal. We house rule that now as the first round goal with the physical copy and have a ton of fun with it.Show lessSorrabbird
FRUSTRATED!!!
Let me be clear, I LOVE Wingspan and the new Oceania expansion looks wonderful! I just wish it would work. I haven’t been able to complete a game in 3 days because the app keeps crashing and takes so very long to reload, just to crash again! I don’t know why this is happening. I am on my 5th generation iPad with over 35 GB of space left and I have cleared my website cache and restarted my iPad so many times, I know that is not the problem! I really did not want to delete and reload the app because I would lose all of my previous achievements I earned, but if these bugs cannot be worked out, that is my next step. I am ‘pull your hair out’ frustrated at this point because I REALLY want to play! I always play the computer because I have no one to play in person and I love the convenience of not having to set up the board game, which I do have. I am so happy with the single player option of this game and really want to be able to do it! PLEASE HELP!!!Show lessHottieInPHX
A mobile port made for people that love the original
I have the base card game with all the expansions and absolutely love it. Ironically, I actually played the iOS version before owning my own copies (but not before playing the original game) and I absolutely love both. I’m looking forward to the new expansions as they release.
This is a near perfect version of the game that I absolutely love picking up and playing a few rounds between short breaks at work or before bed to calm down some.
My only complaint with the game here is that it tracks what birds you’ve collected and used in the game which I absolutely love. But when you’ve played as much of the game as I have, it’s hard to remember what you’ve played before and what you haven’t. I wish there was a visual display on cards you haven’t played before like a little ribbon in the upper right corner or something denoting when a card is ‘new to you’. It’s a little thing but actually collecting the cards and filling out my bird list is the main reason why I’d rather just play this version if I’m home by myself instead of busting out my tabletop versions or a version on Tabletop Simulator .Show lessAlexchino55
