Great companion app for Catan
Great list of configurations and features, we recently start playing Catan again as the kids are old enough to enjoy the fun of Board Games
One regret I found is that the “Random Port Locations” despite enabled or disabled , each generation would be “random” , while some edition of Catan does not allow port override , or contains the extra “port pieces”
Like my current edition, of the right of the “2:1 wheat” it’s a “3:1” port , and both are on the same edge piece which means it’s a fixed combination. It will be nice if the app can take user input of “default port” locations / combinations before the random map generation
For now I am going to ignore the port and see how we go

Great
Best catan map generator
Difficult to use
App is clunky and doesn’t work well. No option for seafaring 5-6
very good
works in all ways it shows.
Thanks anyway
Wish I could just make my own tile arrangements and save them. This was just sadness
Great app! But missing one or 2 things
This app works just as you’d expect it! I just wish there was a way to get back to the main menu without closing the whole app. Besides that, this has pretty much everything you need for a fair and balanced catan game
Catan
I rascally won by my self!
Great way to keep it fresh
App works great
Not free and not good
Horrible generator. Once downloaded you have to pay money for anything besides the basic map. You don’t find this out until after the app is downloaded. If you want a legit and FREE catan map generator with tons of options. Then Get the HEX ISLE MAP and you will be very pleased. This is NOT what your looking for.

Don’t do it
Everything is price gated
Colors to resource?
What resource is each color?
Green = sheep
Dark brown = wood
Etc….
Thanks
Green = sheep
Dark brown = wood
Etc….
Thanks
Good ideas, not completely implemented yet
This app deserves 5 stars, once some important things are fixed and functional.
To the developers, please see those suggestions as direct input to make a well balanced and great application out of this!
- there is no info about what is what or how this interface works. It took me quite some time to guess which colour stands for which resource. After a while we think we figured it out, but it stays a guessing game.
- once you start a game, there is no obvious to get back to the menu. I Had to close the app completely and reopen it to get to the menu. Only after some time I found a “button” which brings me directly back. This is not very obvious intuitive.
- the button to dice could be bigger. Players need to press many times to finally hit it right
- the random port sometimes are right next to each other or present on the same hex. It would be nice if they get distributed with at least one hex in between.
- sometimes, certain numbers are not present at all in the board. Imagine playing a game without a single 6. What happens if you dive a 6?? This must be an obvious mistake that need immediate fixing.
Other than that the app works very nice, makes plying very enjoyable and has a nice design. Please keep optimising it!

Are they colourblind?
I can’t even work out which resource is which. There is 2 browns and 1 green. How about using the actual Catan colours?
Other apps do this better with more free options too.

Not very good
My first generated board, pitted two 6’s together
Great app
This app is exactly what it is described as and is very useful at getting different catan boards every time you play.
Good idea, but there are issues
At first glance, the app looks good. It’s only when you start to use it that you realise there are problems. The first issue is that the game board generated uses colours to represent particular tiles, but gives you no indication as to what tile each of the colours represents. There needs to be in in-game key to explain this. The next problem is that there’s no way to quit from a particular game and generate a new board without quitting from the app.
The developers really need to fix these couple of issues.

Works perfectly
Super handy and very convenient for when you’re keen on jetting right in to a game without brainstorming different map configs!
Does not balance starting positions
The most obviously missing feature is balancing starting positions so that less experienced players are guided into the game. Randomizing the board is an easy task, finding balanced positions for all 6players is not
Does not balance resource tile distribution.
This app is okay. It functions, but the UI is very ugly and it has minor annoyances like the tab buttons being unresponsive, being unable to generate a new map without restarting the app, and requiring payment to generate 6 player maps. The deal-breaker however, is that it doesn’t balance the locations of resource tiles, only the numbers. For an app that claims to generate competitive and balanced boards, this is very disappointing.

Must have
Catan lover’s must have...I hope someday they add 6p expansion to sea farers
