### 2/5 — What happened?

*2026-07-03, version 1.10.2967*

I could have sworn I used to have a nice, simple version of this game.
Tried this one and it is just overdone and clumsy.

Quite a quick delete.

### 4/5 — Should give it 5

*2026-06-28, version 1.10.2967*

I used to play this with my late wife. I have been enjoying this. Perhaps a few issues, but not many and the ai players are most the time good opponents. I would give it 5 because of the 1 and 2 star review being overboard. I enjoy it.

### 3/5 — Use the original art please

*2026-06-25, version 1.10.2967*

Game is overall good, but this 3D modeled tiles are atrocius and unrecognizable. Please make a patch with original 2D art from the board game like it was made in the old app. Or at least redraw it if you don’t have right for some reason. We don’t need this ugly 3D models, nobody likes it. I wish it had more newer expansions, but it has all must have expansions (first two expansions and river), so it’s playable.

### 3/5 — Please 🙏 bring back the old version as an option

*2026-06-24, version 1.10.2967*

Loved the old version so much. Could you make it an expansion pack ?? This version has too many modern bells and whistles and has lost the old world charm and ease of play.

### 3/5 — Its cool but has problems

*2026-06-20, version 1.10.2967*

The servers have been down for at least 2 months now, haven’t been able to create a new game.

The good:
It is Carcasonne. The colors are bright, there are simple animations. It looks nice and plays fine on both my pc and my phone.
It works with a ps5 controller fine.
You can play local or online. Locally you can go up against a few other ai, you can set their difficulty.

The bad:
Mostly online issues.
The server seems unstable. If you are playing multiple games at once and it becomes your turn in a different game, it has to reload the game you are in.
Make your password easy to type because it logs you out often.
You cannot add computers online!
Playing with dragons makes the game fail eventually. Over about a years time my friends and I have not been able to complete a dragon game.

This game has so much potential but the fact that it says last updated 4 years ago does not give me hope things will ever change.

### 3/5 — Two major issues. P&D and server login.

*2026-05-20, version 1.10.2967*

Updated: for the love of programming, fix your *bleep*ing code. Princesses and the Dragon is beyond broke. Your private match creation is now beyond broken. Why can’t you fix your *bleep*ing code? I’ve already boycotted everything Asmodee. What else do I need to do to get your attention?

The CodeMonkey version never crashed like this and never had login issues. Two years and no updates to fix either issue. Asmodee only cares about profit. Not the players of their games. I’ll never buy an Asmodee board game or software again.

### 3/5 — Great game. Poor service

*2026-05-19, version 1.10.2967*

Been playing this for years now but last year and a half servers are terrible, a lot of disconnection issues. 

Pro: you can play for free without ads

Cons: I’ve payed for expansion but can barely play anymore because of the issues mentioned above

### 2/5 — Won’t log on

*2026-05-18, version 1.10.2967*

This game has off and on issues with their servers. Love the game play but I haven’t been able to log on to play in a week, super frustrating. If they could fix it, would give this 5 stars

### 1/5 — Servers appear to be permanently down

*2026-05-17, version 1.10.2967*

App has always been super buggy and had regular server outages, but it appears that the developers have finally given up entirely. Servers have been down for at least a week straight.
Definitely don’t give them any money.

### 3/5 — Really Fun When…

*2026-05-16, version 1.10.2967*

…it’s working. So many bugs - login issues, games not starting, etc., that it gets frustrating.

### 1/5 — Server Down for 4 days now

*2026-05-15, version 1.10.2967*

This app sucks

### 2/5 — Don't waist your time it doesn't work.

*2026-05-15, version 1.10.2967*

Don't waist your time it doesn't work.

### 1/5 — Never able to play

*2026-05-14, version 1.10.2967*

Constant server issues, get kicked out of active games and then can’t get back in. Ranking never increases even when on a winning streak. Great game, shame about how it’s managed.

### 2/5 — Always down

*2026-05-14, version 1.10.2967*

The game instead is an all star, stone cold classic. But the server is always down, this is a nightmare. 

Also, as people have said, the previous app by the Coding Monkeys was much, much better. Do better Asmodée!

### 4/5 — A Hole AI

*2026-03-19, version 1.10.2967*

Love this game and I don’t get the complaints but my goodness if you play offline the AI is the worst to play against. They don’t care if they don’t win as long as they block you. All the time the ai will block their own meeple if it means blocking one of yours too. They programmed these things to be so toxic

### 4/5 — I love the game, but I wish they would add more expenses

*2026-03-03, version 1.10.2967*

I love this game, I played several hundred games of Carcassonne and absolutely love it. I have several of the physical expansions, but it’s very sad to me that I cannot get the same expansions on the mobile version. I believe it would be very financially beneficial for Carcassonne to add a digital version of their expansions. I would buy everyone they offer.

### 2/5 — Bugs

*2026-02-03, version 1.10.2967*

So many issues with their server its disappointing.

### 1/5 — An error occurred while contacting the server. Please try again later.

*2026-02-02*

I’m from Russia and I bought Carcassonne to play with my friends outside of home, where I don’t have access to pc,but unfortunately, when I logger to my account , I encountered an error that I described in the review. I tried using a VPN, but it didn’t work. resulting in wasted of money. Thanks

### 1/5 — World be great if it worked

*2026-08-20, version 1.10.2967*

App hasn’t worked in over a month.. what a waste of money.

### 1/5 — Love the game but

*2026-06-25, version 1.10.2967*

Loved the old version that is unavailable now, this new “improved” version sucks, I can not shrink the board down to see all the tiles that have been played, its difficult to tell where the pieces are, I do not have the expanded pieces I had purchased on the old version, you cant even input your name for your player or choose your piece color - I am so upset the old version stopped working 😡

### 1/5 — Great Game - Terrible Servers

*2026-05-20, version 1.10.2967*

Carcassonne is a fun board game, but for a paid app with paid expansions, it’s not unreasonable to expect the app to work. The games get errors and crash mid-way through, and that’s when the servers are working. I haven’t been able to start a game for a week now. It’s brutal.

### 1/5 — Can’t connect to server

*2026-05-20, version 1.10.2967*

It’s been like a month; come on guys, get it fixed.

### 1/5 — No response

*2026-05-20, version 1.10.2967*

The app developer doesn’t respond when the game has bugs.  They haven’t updated or improved the game in four years. They’re cool with glitches and bugs. They’re cool with bullying and foul language in the game. 

If you went to American public school you’ll feel right at home.

### 1/5 — Bugs and servers not working

*2026-05-20, version 1.10.2967*

The app has many bugs and the servers are not working.

### 1/5 — Servers need work.

*2026-05-18, version 1.10.2967*

The game itself works fine - if the servers are up. Otherwise it just keeps giving an error message and the game is unable to be played. Devs need to lift their game.

### 1/5 — Incapable de se connecter

*2026-05-18, version 1.10.2967*

Il y a deux semaines que j’ai payé pour cette application et je ne peux même plus me connecter. Message apparaissant erreur serveur réessayer plus tard. Et ceci depuis 1 semaine.

### 1/5 — server down or disconnected

*2026-05-17, version 1.10.2967*

Bring back the old version or get another developer to make a new one.  This version is awful, even when you do connect the graphics and game play are far worse than the version from 10 years ago!

### 1/5 — Connection issues

*2026-05-17, version 1.10.2967*

I get the server sometimes has to go down for maintenance but it’s been days & days now since I could connect. Previously you could at least play offline without logging in when the server is down. This time can’t connect at all. Not what I expect for a paid for game - it’s otherwise really enjoyable.

### 5/5 — 概ね大変満足

*2026-05-09*

画質は綺麗、動作も難易度も大変満足です！
大聖堂・湖畔の宿屋の拡張が最新のルールに対応していない(ゲーム終了時点数にならない)。タイルの内容も違います。

### 5/5 — Du kiff malgré quelques instabilités

*2026-02-04*

Le jeu est beau plutôt fluide et très fidèle au jeu de plateau. Quelques soucis de connexion et d’un instabilité qui peuvent vous déconnecter d’une partie et vous faire perdre. Cela dit, c’est assez rare et doit correspondre à des périodes de surcharge des serveurs sur les heures de pointe.

### 5/5 — Perfect game for iPad

*2025-07-22, version 1.10.2967*

They nailed it.

### 5/5 — 希望支持中文

*2025-06-14, version 1.10.2967*

支持中文

### 5/5 — 좋은데 평이 박함

*2025-02-04*

재미있고 구현 완벽함

### 5/5 — Toooop

*2025-01-23*

Vraiment génial, la vue 3D n’est pas très agréable, étant donné qu’on ne peut pas faire tourner le plateau, mais en vue du dessus 2D, le jeu est  beau et graphiquement agréable à jouer, il y a assez de joueur en ligne pour faire des parties à tout moment, est les partie local avec l’ordi sont top également , tt les extension possible … seul défaut a mon sens, c’est le fait de ne pas pouvoir voir sa tuile en avance pendant que les autres joueur jour, car parfois le temps et long quand on fait des partie à 4 ou 5 et que l’on doit attendre les autres joueur sans pouvoir de notre côté réfléchir à notre prochain coup

### 5/5 — Controller Support

*2024-12-28, version 1.10.2967*

Please add controller support. I purchased a Backbone and it says that it will not work with this game. Otherwise, I love Carcassonne.

### 5/5 — A complete incomplete experience.

*2024-10-11, version 1.10.2967*

Active servers are nice. People still play so that’s refreshing. But the cost for expansions on a dead app aren’t worth it.

### 5/5 — Issues?

*2024-08-24, version 1.10.2967*

We love this game, but today no one can seem to log in to play online!  Is there a glitch?

### 5/5 — カルカソンヌアプリのスタンダード

*2024-03-03*

3Dビューに加えて2D平面表示が可能で、平原がどこまで繋がってるかも任意に表示出来ます。

どうしてもスマホは画面の大きさなどの制約はありますが、スマホでカルカソンヌを遊ぶ上ではこのアプリがスタンダードかと！
