Please fix! ### 4/5 — Super easy to use, would love labels *2021-07-04* Great way to spin up a random Catan board, but for new players, the color codes aren’t super apparent. It would be great if there was a color key in the output image, or if the different resources were labeled more clearly. ### 3/5 — PORTS *2020-12-26* There are no ports on the boards this app generates even tho there is a question about ports. ### 3/5 — Extension boards don’t work as expected *2020-11-28* I like the chatbot style. But when we try to generate boards with default ports for extension, ports are not actually same all the time plus they don’t align with ports on board. One thing that might be useful is to show the numbers at the border joints like actual board does. That will make it more clear I think. ### 5/5 — Really fun! *2020-02-11, version 4.3* Using this Catan map generator was a blast! Everybody really enjoys the random Maps! ### 3/5 — So close to being great! *2020-01-01, version 4.3* I love most of this app, but even when I choose default port locations, the ports don’t work out correctly. The layout says that I should have a corner 2:1 port, but there is no port that would line up with that! This also says there are a row of 3:1 ports, but that isn’t possible. I also wish the app had the color code information. That would be very useful to a new user and would help me determine which port is off. ### 2/5 — Is there any support for this anymore? *2019-12-20* When you taproom support support here in the store you get web page that says their domain is up for sale My question was, where do you find their legend for their colors and port assignments? ### 5/5 — Love this app! *2019-12-09* My fiancé and I love Catan and this app makes game play that much more fun! We also love how easy it is to use! 10/10 would recommend ### 4/5 — Flaky Options *2019-05-11* The option to use default seaports for an expansion game does not always use the defaults. Overall the app is useful in mapping out the board game after game. We find it interesting that 8 and 6 wind up on ore and either wheat or sheep. ### 4/5 — Not compatible with iPhone X *2019-04-28* Great idea for an app. We play catan all the time and this has become an issue. We started spinning the robber to pick a spot an random, but this seems like a better solution. Only issue is once a map is generated you can’t go back to the chat screen. What if we didn’t like the setup and wanted to regenerate a new board? ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Not working *2025-01-21, version 4.3* The app isn’t generating a new board. ### 1/5 — Doesn’t work *2025-01-13* Stopped working make it work again otherwise 5 stars ### 1/5 — Doesnt work *2024-12-28, version 4.3* Doesnt work. ### 1/5 — FANTASTIC app but isn't working right now *2024-12-27* All my friends and I have downloaded, re-downloaded, can't get it to continue the conversation to make the map. Hopefully it comes back soon! ### 1/5 — Not working? *2024-11-30, version 4.3* I just tried today 11/30/24 and it wont work. Uninstall and reinstall and no dice. I used to love it. ### 1/5 — No more maps !!!! *2024-11-05* I paid for app ! It no longer generates maps ! No one to contact !!!! Not good ### 1/5 — App useless without purchases *2020-12-28, version 4.3* Expansion generator is locked behind paywall. The app is effectively useless. ### 1/5 — App randomness is horrible *2020-05-31, version 4.3* Every time you choose 5 for most fair it is the least fair board I’ve ever seen. It always puts resources and similar numbers next to each other. I bought the seafarers expansion and its horrible for “fairness”. Honestly really frustrating I’ve found a few other apps to easily replace this B.S ### 1/5 — Glitched *2020-03-19, version 4.3* Got glitched, app is unusable. ### 1/5 — Ports don’t line up *2020-03-05, version 4.3* Ports don’t line up....pls fix. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Súper useful! *2024-05-27, version 4.3* Súper useful, lots of options. Great app! Thanks!! ### 5/5 — No more fighting *2023-03-11* 🔥🔥 ### 5/5 — Love all the options *2023-01-09* Loved using this game board builder and how it gives you so many options on how you would like your board arranged.

Always sassy! Never trashy! ### 5/5 — Catan Chat *2020-10-25* This was my first time using the Catan Chat and I love it. You can customize the randomness of the board and switch preferences every time. It’s great for beginners and pros...👍🏾 ### 5/5 — Chatbot apps *2020-07-03, version 4.3* Chatbot apps --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
