Bugs
I love the board game version of this, and I just got the app yesterday. But having played several times on my phone and on my iPad I’ve found that multiple times when I’m tapping to start my turn it thinks I’m tapping that I want to gain food. And it won’t let me go back, so even though that’s not what I had planned to do on that turn I have to get food. Why is there no back button at that point and why is it so touchy that when I start my turn it thinks I’m getting food? Also there should be an easier way to give feedback within the game itself. But writing a review seemed the only way I could do it.
OK now I feel like I need to add to this review. I went back and tried to be so careful when I tap to start the turn but it still kept happening. Also I can’t figure out an easy way to pause the game or get out of the app. I feel like I really wasted my money buying this app because it’s so frustrating I don’t know that I’ll play it again.
How can I contact you directly to request a refund?Show lessCeci Wright
Common Buzzard bug inquiry; Thank you!
Hello! I don’t know if this is the best way to report this potential bug, but for the Common Buzzard, I thought I can play this bird without playing it over another bird if I have a mouse food. Currently when I try to play the Common Buzzard, it is requiring that I play the bird on top of another bird. Can some logic be applied to allow me to play the Common Buzzard NOT on top of another bird and pay with a mouse food resource item? I hope that made sense. Thank you so much for all your work implementing all the rules for this awesome game!!! 🙏🏼 Have a great day!Show lesssdlefdee
Excellent game, but some new bugs have come up
Thank you for fixing the Game Center achievement bug! However, the most recent update has some different bugs. Some or all of the European expansion bonus cards now don’t work when the Automa has it. One example is the bird bander bonus card. It doesn’t pick up the cards in the tray even though it should. Plus, there’s no option for the Automa to have 1 of the 2 specific bonus cards it uses when playing the European expansion.
Another bug is when you open Wingspan in Airplane mode, you lose access to the European expansion even though it was purchased already. Hope these bugs are fixed soon.Show lessAReviewer555
1 player works great, online not so much
This game is awesome and beautifully made. Playing against automatic or AI is really sweet. Online is kind of a mess. The matching is based on “karma” which is great in theory. You gain a point for finishing a match and lose 5 if you quit early. Unfortunately you will ALWAYS lose the 5 if your game glitches out, but frequently don’t get credit for a finish. You also get no credit if an opponent quits, even right at the end. So for example, my karma got knocked down into the low 30’s almost right away. Since I have played 50 games and only gained 2 karma. I’ve finished 5-6 against players, and all of the rest someone else quit first. If that happens, karma should be granted to those who are still in. Fix this and it’s 5 stars. Also would really love some kind of ranked play. Still well worth the money!Show lessMadmatty1975
Glorious! Except for notifications...
I love the board game. I love this app. It's beautiful and elegantly designed to fit into an iphone-sized screen. I love that I can play my friends asynchronously.
But the notifications are so inconsistent! Badges and banners have never worked for me. The only notifications I get are on the lock screen, and even those are inconsistent. This problem doesn't stop me from playing, but it definitely detracts from the experience. I've seen other reviewers complain about this. Is there a fix in the works???Show lessBhy77
Great, but needs more online options.
You can’t choose between the regular version and European expansion when playing online with random opponents. That should be addressed. There also needs to be a middle ground on time limits on turns. You either get to choose between 5-minutes and 72-hours between turns. Can there please be a 24 hour option? Maybe for people with a higher karma level? It’s so annoying to wait for a person to join a game and not even select cards and food, then waste an online slot until they time out three days later. My karma level is high enough that I shouldn’t have to worry about flakes dropping out of a game.Show lessTempestCW5
Great game — needs a another couple tweaks
I love this game. That is why I gave it a five star review. There are two things that I found, that might be tweaked.
One, when I try to end the game with zero eggs on birds, the game crashes and when I open it back up it does not register that I ended the game with zero eggs for the achievement.
Two, I could not find any way to contact you the developer in the app. It would be a good way to have people submit bugs to you, if they can do it through the app instead of through the App Store.Show lessSakuraSamurai
Enjoyable
Have enjoyed this game a lot.
A few minor quibbles I’ve noted:
It would be nice to be able to get more detail about the achievement requirements. On my iPhone a few of them don’t have the whole description sentence visible and the one for playing 5 raptors in one game seems to be using a definition of raptor that seems odd to me as I played Coopers Hawk, Burrowing Owl, Peregrine Falcon, Osprey, and Bald Eagle but did not receive the achievement.
Even more minor quibble is that the bird animations seem to have been done without any reference to the actual birds as several of them move in ways that are entirely incorrect for the bird. For instance one of the woodpeckers rotates about the middle of the body while “pecking” at the tree with the tail coming way off the tree trunk whereas in reality a woodpeckers tail is the brace against the tree and so never would lose contact.Show lessA_Nisbett
Review
I really enjoy this game and play nearly every day. I have three small suggestions for the developers
1). Add an in game chat function. Just a way to send a note to another player
2) when you look at another players board there should be a way to see how many cards they are holding
3) it would be great to be able to replay games with same setup (similar to the king of the birds with the automata)
Thanks. Great gameShow lesshbh10706
Beautiful game!
I love the board game and this app translates the experience very well! My only 2 issues are : #1 with the size of the letters and symbols, it is sometimes difficult to distinguish nest types. #2 with the online play, I wish there were a 3 minute round event and if a player is dropped (unresponsive or forfeit) an AI would step in. With 5 minute turns you can wait for extensive amounts of time to only then have the game trashed for 2 players - very frustrating!Show lessjacimoose
