Poor interface limits playability
Played this game constantly until landscape UI came out. Bigger phones over the last few years make the experience slightly better but it’s still much harder to see things than it used to be. This UI is map for a PC or IPad and is not mobile focused.
Results speak for themselves. There are only about 20 open game’s, rarely do they get filled.
On one hand, I’m grateful/surprised this game is even still supported. But when I play it’s a struggle to play efficiently. I guess it only gets updates because it’s consistent with other platforms, but I kinda wish it weren’t here to taunt me anymore.
This game used to be portrait. The game board and every individual card in the game is portrait, so this made sense. But not we have to view it all on landscape forcing you to zoom in on everything.

First update in 3 years makes game worse
I’ve been playing this game for the last 5+ years regularly on an iPhone mini. I think it has its flaws (completely resetting if you look at a phone notification, I’ve had friends unable to create new accounts, game notification badge indicators disappearing when you open the app but don’t take a turn) but was otherwise an amazing game.
Which leads me to: I’m not sure why the developer has changed the user interface on the game instead of fixing those core bugs. I can no longer see my intrigue cards without tapping on them and the quest cards no longer show the plot effect without tapping either (and are honestly overwhelmingly large now). The changes to quests seem nice for someone with vision issues, but make the game harder to play for me. Please either make these changes a setting that users can opt into or revert them, thank you!

Fix notifications in iOS 26
Since updating to iOS 26, this game has no options for notifications. Please fix.
Terrific game
This is a great worker placement game, with beautiful graphics and really nice sound design. It used to be playable in portrait orientation, and then there was an update and that changed. Some reviewers went nuts with 1-star reviews, as they almost always do. Personally I preferred that view but it makes very little difference. It’s a terrific game and an excellent digital adaptation. Play it and see.

A well implemented board game
I wish other board game adaptations were more like this. Zooming in to see card text on small phones works smoothly. Every action that doesn’t reveal new information has an undo option, solving the challenges of a small interface. The whole game is bug-free in solo play against AI, which is how I usually play it. I just wish we could get even more difficult AI.

Updates never fix notification issues
The game remains great to play, but don’t count on receiving notifications for your turn if you’re an android player. The game receives updates pretty often, but never addresses this. The developer knows this is an issue, yet never addresses it.
Great game well transferred but crashes regularly
The title says it all, it’s a board game I love, they’ve done a brilliant job at putting it into an app and it’s great value, but the app crashes regularly at the point of starting a game, and stops working for days at a time.
Awesome!!
We love this game. what are the things we love about? It is that we don’t have to get all of the pieces out for the actual board game when we use it on the iPad. And it keeps track of our progress and the abilities our cards give us without us having to remember for ourselves. convenience and fun!
Great worker placement
If not the best then way up there for worker-placement strategy games. Build an engine to crank rewards up for every move. I agree though that the last UI update was a fail, a lot of forced scrolling and showing/hiding ‘drawers’ which are critical to strategising. But still endlessly replayable.
Cant add AI to online game
Annoying that you can’t add AI to online games. It’s not as fun with only 2 payers and I don’t want to play with random people
Betrayal!
One of the best card-based iOS games, bar none. The game rules, the engine, the artwork and music… this is a joy to play. But it could be a little better
- it had portrait mode many years ago, and would be nice to have portrait mode again
- the card “Inevitable Betrayal” puts the AI into a betrayal spiral, each of them playing the card and passing it on to one another, effectively removing all other intrigue cards from the game and keeping the AI who’s holding it from taking better actions. Please fix this behaviour, either by lowering the desirability of playing that card or allowing us the option of playing without it (or some other fix)
Otherwise, easily one of my three favourite mobile games!

Update the darn app for all the money you made from it please, just kee it playable for new devices soon it will drop support and what we’re gonna do look at our purchases and reminiscent?
Unplayable in Landscape
On an iPhone 12 Pro Max, the text in this game is unreadable in the standard landscape format. There's no option to modify the UI, the text size, or the orientation. Sad too, because it looks like this game would be fun to play.
purely luck and doesn’t work right
this game is mostly luck (i.e. drawing cards). Not to mention, one of the cards asks to return an assigned agent and reassigned it but it doesn’t let me pick the agent; i tried dragging the meepo back and clicking on different meepo but it doesn’t work.
overall, pretty boring game, i would skip!

Constant Network Connection Lost
This is nearly unplayable online. If I don’t complete my move in less than 10 seconds I almost always get the message “Network Connection Lost”
Great worker placement game
If you like worker placement games, this is one of my favorite. Each turn, you're trying to complete quests by accumulating units of various professions (and also money). Each player has a secret agenda, which changes what types of questions you'll prefer. There's considerable variety in how each game plays out, and the sounds and graphics add nicely to play. This isn't a D&D RPG. But it's very enjoyable. It's nice to have a game where you turn your mind on rather than off, on iOS. Edit: Minus one star for the update the switched to landscape. This took a 5-star game and worsened playability. In a strange way, it’s a little prettier. But I have a much harder time playing. They had (and no doubt in their codebase still HAVE) and perfectly good portrait-orientation UI. If they wanted to enable landscape, I wish they’d done it by giving is the OPTION which one to use. As I type this, the average rating is now 2.6. When I first reviewed it as a 5-star game, its average was quite a bit higher. Like a lot of things these days, that’s a ridiculous overreaction. It’s still a very good game.

Unterschätzte Perle
Lords of Waterdeep ist eines der am besten umgesetzten Worker Placement Rollenspiele, das je auf die iOS Plattform postiert wurde. Obwohl das Spiel mittlerweile schon viele Jahre auf dem „Buckel“ hat, weiß es immer noch mit einer hervorragend umgesetzten und flüssig laufenden Spielkulisse zu beeindrucken. Auch die die beiden Brettspielerweiterungen sind verfügbar und ebenfalls toll umgesetzt. Es will schon etwas heißen, wenn ich mir von einem Spiel tatsächlich freiwillig noch eine Erweiterung herunterlade.
Einziger Wermutstropfen für alle, deren Schulenglisch schon zu verblasst ist. Das elektronische Spiel wurde leider genau wie die Brettspielversion nie in deutscher Sprache umgesetzt. Dennoch ist das Spiel auf jeden Fall einen Versuch wert. Die Regeln sind vielfältig aber absolut intuitiv und das Tutorial-System ist mustergültig umgesetzt. Besser kann man an ein unbekanntes Spiel nicht herangeführt werden.

It’s Waterdeep
Game is still fun. I have purchased all the expansions but find myself enjoying the base game the most. Playing with AI gets a little repetitive but gameplay is good.
Doesn’t work
This app is absolute junk. It doesn’t work. Interface is totally broken. Requested refund.
Was good now TRASH
Was my fave game on iOS but the new version is trash. Whoever signed that off needs some re training. Or just fire them.
