Too many games end due to server issues
The game is useless if it ends midway due to error or server issue or timeout.Notareviewer111111
Have asked repeatedly for over a year to increase font size
The status window font is literally less than 1/4 of the size of any other font. In essence it hides moves, resources, and chat from anyone playing Colonist on an iPad.
It is an unfair advantage to my opponents. If you can’t see what your opponents are doing/receiving, you can’t truly compete on an even playing ground.
Unsure why Colonist staff has decline my previous requests to fix this bug in their app. Changing a font size is so much easier than the numerous fixes and improvements they roll out on a weekly basis.Show lesshaute-toddy
Unstable
Has potential, but the dice algorithm ruins the game, completely unrealistic odds play out in most games. Making it more about luck
-Bugs within the app often give freeze frames and muted audio. -When the app crashes it usually lets you rejoin your current game, but sometimes that doesn’t work either.Show lessapple.57
Phenomenal
The dev team has done a fantastic job on the execution of this game. They also have brought the base game to the public for free! I think the only downside is that their prices for almost all dlc is too expensive.Lycanmaster
Good But one thing to fix
It’s a really good game, I personally love playing it but the only thing is that it regularly disconnects me from the game and I can’t join back.Bobby4458
Free is not good enough
If you enjoy being rushed and bullied when trying to play against real people this game is for you.
If you decide to play the computer instead, and happen to get the lead at any point, then the programming just takes over and all of the sudden 7’s become very common and the game prevents you from competing.
I would rather pay for another option.Show lessDG1TL67
Coding is a major problem
We all love Catan, right?
This app is hardly close to the game we know and love. I’ve been paying it for over a year now. Sure it’s got a nice easy interface and it’s UX is manageable for all, but some major fatal flaws come with it…
First off, the probabilities are not balanced within games, they almost add like a “if you lost last the last few games” balancing effect to the game where it will give one person landslide effects and can essentially chose who wins ultimately in the end. Its got a nasty habit of handing a win to someone even if you have a better setup statically and make every right move.
Let me explain…. you’ll never ever ever win on your first game on but you’ll have a close loss, which will get you to play one more just because, and you do, so that second game you’ll play so that it keeps you on a dopamine high of getting a close win. Usually by game 3 you’ll have a W.
Another problem is the dice are rigged, meaning if you have more than 7 cards you’re more than likely to roll a 7 just because… and numbers DON’T hit, they only tend to hit more when that number is blocked.
Do not download this game, it will save you so much headache and time with the frustrations of a portly coded strategy game that is less about strategy and more about manipulation of the player experience.Show lessBenji12233

Great game for friendsArmiaaaa
Love the game but it is not random at all
Game us awesome and runs smoothly for me. I am giving it 1 star because it is rigged. The game does specific things almost always. For example, when playing 1v1 at the start of the game if you have more than 9 cards you will get a robber. It is annoying. Pls fixGabriel Figueroa
1v1 is broken
Probably 80% of the 1v1 matches I play, the turn after I have a 3rd VP, the other player rolls a 7. I’ve had it happen multiple games in a row. Virtually leaves the game unplayable from that point.
On the same token, the dev pulls seem to be pre-determined. I will either play games where I only get non-knights or I play games where I only get knights.
We can say it’s just random, but I’ve played hundreds of 1v1 games because they are quick and I definitely see this trend. Please fix the RNGShow lessJimbo fish
