Very controllable settings and restrictions

Good stuff

Not optimal

Should be some more settings rules and cofigs:
1. A resource should not be next to it’s corresponding port.
2. Two resources should not have the same number tile: not 6 on two different rock tiles.

Just these 2 alone would go a long way.

Proper Value

It does what it’s supposed to and it’s aesthetically appealing as well. Couldn’t ask for more. Will have to explore the other parts of the app where you could use the expansion map or something…

This app is a most have

When dealing with how to setup a new board, it always takes so much time to actually make some “Random” escenario, with this app is very straight foward how to setup any scenario that you will need

Easy to use.

We have enjoyed using this to map out our CATAN board! Easy to use! Would love for you to add Cities and Knights options!

Great overall but 1 thing that’s not sitting right

This game does a great job of adding features to arrange the hexes and numbers to different game set ups which I love!

However an issue I’m having is that the default harbors layout isn’t as accurate to the game itself. I’ve played both the 5th and 6th versions of Catan (6th edition doesn’t allow you to customize harbors!!), both versions’ harbors don’t align with the harbor layout in the app.

6th: 3, wheat, ore, 3, sheep, 3, 3, brick, wood

App default: 3, 3, brick, ore, 3, wheat, wood, 3, sheep

Maybe the app is geared towards an older version of the game? Regardless, it would be nice if it has that option to select which version of the game you have or something that lets you decide how the harbors are set up!

Love it

Enjoy unlimited maps that are never the same

Great!

Nice asistant for catan thx

Bug Report

I think there is a bug in Fog Island 5-6 players. There should be four pieces of number token 5 and four pieces of number token 4. Hower the app generates five pieces of number token 5 and three pieces of number token 4. This bug does not exist in the other sea fearers 5-6 modes.

Makes no sense

What next???

Nearly perfect...

Thank you for that nearly perfect app. Just two suggestion:

1. When generated a new board with hidden land, could you show the amount of hidden field types, like: 2x wheat, 2x ore, 1x sheep,... And the hidden numbers, like: 1x two, 2x three, 1x four,...

2. Could show the recommended victory points for each board?

Response from developer

Thank you so much for your review and thoughtful suggestions! I'm thrilled to hear you find the app nearly perfect. Your ideas about displaying the amounts of hidden field types and numbers, as well as showing recommended victory points, are fantastic. I'll definitely consider them for future updates to make the app even better for you. Your feedback truly helps me improve, and I appreciate you taking the time to share it.

Need more flexibility

This works great for standard and 5-6 player catan, but when using expansions like seafarers, it does not provide flexibility to play to the rules outlined for each scenario. Needs flexibility to change types of land tiles being used.

Response from developer

Thank you for your feedback! I appreciate you taking the time to share your thoughts. I'm glad the generator works well for standard and 5-6 player Catan games. Your suggestion for more flexibility with expansions like Seafarers is valuable, and I'll certainly consider it for future updates. Your input helps me continually improve, so thank you for helping make Catanous even better.

Useful random map generator

I like how the app has maps for the seafarers expansion too.

Response from developer

Thank you for your feedback! I'm glad to hear that you find the map generator useful and appreciate the inclusion of the Seafarers expansion. If you have any other suggestions or need assistance, feel free to reach out. We’re here to make your Catan experience even better!

App doesn’t work

Will be requesting refund from apple. This app does not work as advertised. No option for 5-6 players and no seafaring maps.

Lovely

Really well made. I hope to see other Catan expansions get added in the future.

Response from developer

Thank you so much for your kind words! I'm thrilled to hear you enjoy using Catanous. We’ve expanded to expansions based on your feedback! Your support means a lot!

Stole My Money - NO MAPS!!!

Please refund my purchase. I am requesting within 5 minutes of purchase. 1 map for $5.99 the only offering is to change the tiles. That is NOT generating MAPS!!!

Response from developer

Please know that customer satisfaction is important to me, and I want to make this right for you. There’re numerous maps with purchase, please let me know if you didn’t have luck finding them, and reach out if you need any guidance or support!

Amazing!

This app is the best I have ever seen creating maps in Catan.

I’m totally a fan of it :).

I use it every time I play with my friends!

Great app

I use this whenever there is a board game night and Catan is on the menu. I add a little more randomness to it by rolling a die and hitting the “generate” that many pips. Would like to see maybe some of the re-themed ones on here also like Star Trek and Game Of Thrones. 👍

Response from developer

Thank you for your wonderful review! I'm thrilled to hear that you enjoy using Catanous on your game nights. Your idea of using a die to add extra randomness is brilliant! I appreciate your suggestion about including re-themed versions, and I'll definitely consider adding themes like Star Trek and Game Of Thrones in future updates. Happy gaming!

Exactly what you want

I play Catan all the time and always seem to waste time when setting up the board. We always want to randomly fling the resource hexes out there and play them where they fall, but always end up rearranging to make things more balanced, arguing over what should go where. This saves you all the wasted time. PLUS if you still want everything to be completely random, you can. It also helps you setup for those complex seafarer expansions that I never am able to make fee balanced. Amazing app.
