Leave a Review Wingspan
Good but Buggy
I love the Wingspan board game and overall this is a good app adaptation of it. However, there are certain birds/combinations that seem to be buggy and cause crashes. Most notably, I just bought the new Oceania expansion, and two games in a row I’ve been unable to complete because the game repeatedly crashes. This seems to be the case when you activate a round-end power in round 4, and then have a yellow game-end power. The game completes your round-end power, tallies the round end bonus scores, but then crashes when it’s time to play the game-end powers. I keep reopening the game and it keeps happening again. I have had similar problems with some of the European expansion cards but those seemed more random. For the price of the expansion I would expect them to work properly. It’s incredibly frustrating to play an entire game and then not be able to find out the final score in the end.
I understand bugs happen and can be worked out, but I’m also disappointed I can’t find any actual app support. The app support link in the App Store takes you to the website for the wingspan app, but there’s no link to report bugs. For the price of this game the developers should have a contact option for users to report these bugs, especially when releasing new expansions.Show lessEcm1981
Should give game option for online games
First off, I love Wingspan. My family plays the board game all the time. However, with the new update adding Oceania expansion, they should’ve included the option when starting an online game whether to use Oceania expansion or not. Personally, I dislike the Oceania expansion; my family when we play just use the non-nectar birds and stick with the original board and no use of nectar. I hate the nectar component and the new board (you should not be able to gain two food from the Forest with no birds in it). So I passed on buying the expansion on the app. But when starting a new game online, I still have to play with the expansion that I dislike and don’t want to play with. I can’t just quit every game I get the Oceania expansion cause it’ll tank my karma quickly to nothing. Without the option to exclude the Oceania expansion, I guess I’m forced to just not play Wingspan online anymore :(Show lessuconn1029
Great game, but plenty of bugs for your birds to eat.
I’ve been playing constantly with my father for over a year and we both get way more enjoyment than we paid for (thank you for the non-subscription based value proposition!!!! MUCH appreciated).
With that said, there are always bugs we’re dealing with that we’ve just learned to shrug off as part of the experience… notifications not coming through that it’s our turn so the game then times out. Birds we’ve played not getting logged. Innacurate text in rounds remaining screen. Not getting the correct bonus card points. Etc. seems to be a new batch every update. 🤷♂️Show lesstlcastle1
Obsessed
I average about 7 games a day as a nursing mother. It's a nice way to pass the time. The graphics (and even the board game version) are so aesthetically pleasing. It wasn't long after that I decided to buy the European expansion and aim to reach every achievement award. Some are VERY challenging.
My only regret in the app game is allowing for a little grace. Say I grabbed the wrong food from the supply and it greatly affects my next few terms. Or if I accidentally play a bird in the wrong habitat; that might ruin the entire rest of my game. In a real game, maybe your friends would be forgiving and allow you to make the change. I know in the app version of Scyth you can go back a turn (or unlimited turns) to correct minor mistakes like that. You don't get that back-track option in Wingspan. It requires a lot of focus and double checking before you decide to move forward, because there is no going back once it's done.
I understand not being able to go back in a live/online game. But I feel like the creators can find a way to allow that when playing against AI alone. Anyway, that's my 4 ⭐️ review.
Tl;dr So fun, visually pleasing, and rewarding as well. Just wish they could allow for back tracking.Show lessSillyBlob4Lyfe
Fantastic port, Awful online performance
This app is so well designed and such a great port for playing single player vs AI games. But we each bought this so our family could play online as we live in different states. The number of fatal crashes of the app when playing online has rendered it totally unplayable. It feels like it’s based on the complexity of the turns as the game progresses. Meaning we rarely have crashes in the first round, but by the time you get midway through the third round, each of us start experiencing crashes on our iPads, and the fourth round is guaranteed to have a few crashes. Looking at the other players game boards is an automatic crash, so we can’t even track how the other players are doing. Games with 3 experienced players + 2 AI players take 80-90 minutes because of all the downtime with the app crashes. We’ve stopped playing it online because it’s become unusable. Last game my dad crashed 4 times, my brother 3 and I crashed twice. 9 separate app crashes. All of us have the latest iOS and app updates. Hoping this gets fixed because it’s such a great game.Show lessGtfbcdresdezxs
Game breaking bug with AI and food
There's a serious bug when playing a game solo against AI players. The first turn or two everything seems to work fine. Then all of a sudden the AI players will say that they have gained food for their turn but the food dice do not change. This makes it impossible to have a fair game against AI players because there are a lot of mechanics tied to the food dice in/out of the feeder. When the AI players can gain food without actually removing the dice it leads to all those mechanics not working properly. It's extremely frustrating to see multiple AI players gain food without removing any dice from the feeder when you have a bird that lets you roll the food dice not in the feeder. There have been many times where I am not able to play an ability or play it with only 1 dice when there should have been a lot more dice that would have given me a greater chance of success. This absolutely needs to be fixed.Show lessRyanHW
Wonderful game, one request
This is probably my favorite game on my phone right now, but I do have one request that I have decided to increase to two. 1) a friends system where it’s super easy to add people to a game instead of having to know their tag by heart. It’d also be a blessing to my friends, who have to type in my incredibly long tag every time. 2) Can we please have the option to remove time limits from custom games? I’ve lost so many games to peoples schedules, and it’d be nice if friends could just play at their leisure.
Again, amazing game. Loving it. Thank you all!Show lessCollege student 836782916
Beautiful game, tons of issues
I’ve been playing this game for over a year now, but starting in November 2022 it started crashing multiple times per game and it has gotten worse over time.
Reading other reviews, I’ve concluded that this is an iOS issue on iPads, which is what I’m using to play on. There seem to be different kinds of crashes, those linked to playing a specific card and those that happen at transitions (between turns). I’m getting frustrated and have not been able to figure out how to contact the developers.
I’m really sad, because I love the game, but the issues are making it not worth it. It shouldn’t be this hard.Show lessouigigi
My favorite board game on the iPad but…
This has been my go to board game on the iPad for years, but now it is unplayable. It crashes constantly. I can’t even get through a turn now. It started after an update a few weeks ago. And since the most recent update it has just gotten worse. Started just being laggy then it kicked me out a few days ago. Then it started kicking me out about once per game, then twice. The game I am in now is on the last turn and I can’t finish the turn before being kicked out. I have tried to play the turn 5 times with no luck. So, unless it’s fixed it is now unplayable. 🙁 Please get the bugs out so I can get back to my favorite game!Show lessBwhitey76
Not worth the money
Honestly I have never played the board game. I thought the game looked Interesting. I paid my money. Was excited to play. Watch the tutorial and was so lost. Tried to finish the game in the tutorial and was lost. Took a break. Watched the tutorial again and was lost. Played the tutorial to the end and lost. Tried to play the AI twice and lost. Sometimes I can’t click on anything. I mean no área, no bird feeder, no nothing. And turns keep going buy. It will tell me to activate the area. But they don’t activate. I wants me to take food. But none of the food I. The bird feeder is what I need and at one point there was no food. I can’t use the bird because the food is wrong. And I don’t know what happened to the worm I got. It’s no longer in the feeder. It keeps wanting me to take bird cards, then give back a bird card. I really wish I could get my money back. It keeps changing to my opponents screen. Or some other screen and I have to keep switching back. It’s a beautiful game. Don’t waste your money.Show lessMy real ghost is better
