### 4/5 — Unable to share

*2025-06-01, version 1.16.0*

Great app but the share page function doesn’t work

### 4/5 — German? 🥹

*2025-01-03, version 1.16.0*

Perfect functionality but PLEASE add German 😭😍

### 5/5 — Great generator, only missing a few features

*2024-08-20, version 1.15.0*

Provides everything you need for easily generating good games. A few nice-to-have features for more seasoned players would be:
1)that the events/landscape/ways/etc have their own reuse rule “when no other option” (it seems the default is “every time” for these)
2) there would be some way to retain favorites via export. If the app is uninstalled or you get a new device, all of one’s history of favorite games is lost.

There’s an occasional bug with Plunder and Loot where it says the Loot pile is needed but no cards call for it within the generated game. I cannot consistently recreate the bug so I’m not sure what triggers it.

Thank you again, I sent a tip to support this awesome app, it is well-deserved for your hard work on keeping up on this wonderful resource for the Dominion community!

### 5/5 — Best Dominion app

*2024-08-01*

10/10

### 5/5 — Best dominion randomized on the App Store

*2024-04-20*

Love this app. Well updated when new sets come out in a timely manner, lots of customization options. Layout is great with reminders of the supplementary cards, mats, and tokens you need for that set. Also love the quick links to card faqs! Keep up the great work, and thank you for this great app!

**Developer response:** Thanks so much!

### 4/5 — I rely on this app whenever we play dominion with friends.

*2024-04-09, version 1.14.0*

There are no better randomizers. This one tells us ALL the cards and extra items we need to play the randomized set for 2, 3, 4, 5, or 6 players including extra setup instructions like how many favors or coffers to give everyone to start (where applicable) and which mats, tokens, and extra piles of non-supply cards to use. It allows you to use both 1st edition and 2nd edition cards where they exist, and promo cards. You choose however many sets you want and you can change out individual cards if you like. Furthermore, it has options for deciding how many landscape cards to use and how to decide whether to use platinums and colonies. Several other options exist including preferences for not repeating cards that have recently been selected in other set ups. Only one gripe: occasionally I need to close it and reopen it to get my new randomized set. (I currently use  ios 17.3.1 on my iPad, but have had the problem on older versions as well.) 

Now that I have the update pack for guilds/cornucopia 2nd edition, I am looking forward to seeing this app support 2024 updates. When can I expect to see that?

### 5/5 — Can’t wait for the update!

*2024-04-05, version 1.14.0*

Now that Cornucopia 2e is out and Rising Sun is about to come out, I hope that there will be an update very soon!  This is the best randomizer.  It also has all of the recommended kingdoms and links to errata, strategy, the secret story behind every card, and all of the art.

**Developer response:** Thanks! Not sure the source of the freeze, but if you could let me know your iOS version that might help troubleshoot.

### 5/5 — Great App

*2023-11-15, version 1.14.0*

Amazing App. One thing I would recommend is that if you find a deck you like, you should be able to “list” it so other people with the app can see it and use that deck 👍

### 4/5 — Share doesn’t work w/ Plunder

*2023-08-27, version 1.14.0*

Great app. Share function is why we use it. It doesn’t work if you select Plunder. So 4 stars until that’s fixed.

### 5/5 — TE AMO DESARROLLADOR

*2023-08-12, version 1.14.0*

Gracias gracias gracias

### 4/5 — Love the app!

*2023-08-06, version 1.14.0*

If you have multiple expansions, this is such a great app. I seriously can’t say enough about it. 

The only reason I rate it a four is if you use the plunder expansion, you can’t share the list. Which is a bummer since we usually generate the kingdom and let folks veto any cards. It makes it hard for everyone to see. 

I’m hoping for an update soon because this is seriously the best way to handle the expansions!

### 5/5 — Exactly what I need

*2023-07-08, version 1.14.0*

Easy to use, has all expansions (currently Plunder is most recent)

### 1/5 — Great Generator for Dominion Card Game

*2025-05-11, version 1.16.0*

The sharing option is broken on iOS and has been since 11 at least 11/2023. It generates and then the pop up comes up from the bottom which should have selections for the app used to share, but it’s blank. When I tried it back on 11/2023 I was using an iPhone 11 Pro and now I’m using an iPhone 16 Pro. Obviously iOS versions have changed. I’ve deleted DominGen, restarted my iPhone, cleared cache, reinstalled DominGen and have the same issue. Sharing works on macOS.

That would be from if what is shared on one could be open on DominGen on iOS, but the only thing the shared link does is open in a web browser.

It would also be nice if there was an option for sorting that showed the expansion names like cost for those of us that don’t know them by the expansion symbol. This shouldn’t replace the current sort by expansion as I’m sure many like it.

### 1/5 — Sharing is broken

*2024-12-14, version 1.16.0*

Cannot share. I have a family member with disabilities who could really benefit from a feature like this

### 2/5 — Cannot share Kingdoms

*2024-04-17, version 1.15.0*

The “Share” feature no longer works. I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling. UPDATE: I installed the latest version and still cannot share my created kingdoms, regardless of which expansions are selected. I get a blank share page if Plunder is not selected and a message “sorry, there was an error sharing your playset” message if it is included. iPhone 11Pro with latest iOS update. 17.4.1 If developer could provide email or support site I would be happy to help debug.

### 2/5 — Doesn’t keep faves

*2022-01-15, version 1.12.0*

This is a fairly good Dominion randomizer, but the main reason I have the app is to remember my favorite card sets. I’ll put in my favorites, only to find them all deleted the next time I open the app. Frustrating!!! I tried sharing my faves to a list on my phone as a work around, with a link to the dominion gen web page, but now the link just says “get the app”. Well, that would be fine if the app actually remembered my faves.

### 2/5 — Needs more options

*2019-11-19, version 1.8.0*

There used to be a randomizer in the App Store that gave you the option to force certain cards to appear in your random set, such as cards that give you additional buys or additional actions. That significantly improved the quality of the set in a given game. Purely random is more likely to produce sets where simply buying treasure cards is the dominant strategy. That’s always been a problem with dominion, and I would love this app if it added those options. As is, it’s the best option, but it could be so much better.

### 3/5 — No support for a new extension

*2025-01-01, version 1.16.0*

We love the app for most of the extensions, however it doesn’t support Intrigue second edition

### 3/5 — Needs a little extra for Divine Wind

*2024-10-30, version 1.16.0*

When activated, Divine Wind requires a reselection of Kingdom cards. It would be helpful to implement this feature in the app. BTW, I have seen it implemented in an Android app 😓.

### 3/5 — Good, but occasionally freezes with certain set combinations

*2024-01-13, version 1.14.0*

I don’t know why this is, but on my iPhone 13 mini with iOS 17.2.1, certain combinations of sets like Nocturne and Hinterlands 2e will cause the app to freeze when I tap the randomize button. The app is good otherwise but this is a big problem.

### 3/5 — Love this game

*2023-08-05, version 1.14.0*

Good for choosing what your group would like before u play

### 3/5 — Oops! Revisited

*2023-01-22, version 1.14.0*

Allies still has cost errors!!
Contract is listed as a cost of 2, but should be 5.
Innkeeper is listed as a cost of 2, but should be 4.
I was advised this would be fixed in the release including all ‘Plunder’, but it didn’t make it into that version.
Also, no wsy to contact author except by writing reviews. Thus I have to give only 3 stars for these deficiencies.

### 5/5 — Dominion fan

*2026-08-22, version 1.16.0*

This is a must have for the Dominion player

### 5/5 — Almost perfect

*2026-08-09, version 1.16.0*

I’ve been using this app for many years & it’s been great! However, I ran into my first problem today. I recently got the 2nd edition update pack for prosperity. I tried to set up a game with it for the first time today. It froze the app. I tried several times. If this little glitch could be fixed that would make me very happy! Thanks!

### 5/5 — Amazing app!

*2026-05-10, version 1.16.0*

Really great randomizer, helps me remember the extra rules too. 

I think Ducat has a bug as the app doesn’t prompt coffers when Ducat is selected.

### 5/5 — GENIAL PARA CREAR REINOS

*2025-11-25, version 1.16.0*

Esta app es simplemente genial para crear todo tipo de reinos ❤️

### 5/5 — Amazing app and a must for dominion.

*2025-07-19, version 1.16.0*

The best dominion randomizer and tool out there by far. The in app wiki interface broke at some point in recent months… the wiki overlay is messed up and covers up the in app text when you go into the wiki via the scroll icon. Would be great if this could be fixed.

### 5/5 — Great functionality!

*2025-07-06, version 1.16.0*

Super helpful and easy to use. Has all the functions you’d want.
My one wish would be that we could give nicknames to our saved kingdoms

### 5/5 — Top Option, By Far

*2025-02-17, version 1.16.0*

Definitely the best Dominion app. No question about it.

### 5/5 — Really nice App

*2025-02-10, version 1.16.0*

Thanks for creating this nice App, the best so far! Before I create another App just to have it in german translated as well can I maybe help out? If you interested please ping me couldn‘t find any contact.

### 5/5 — Great app, but wiki viewer broke

*2025-01-06, version 1.16.0*

I’ve been using this app for as long as I’ve played Dominion (over six years) and it delivers in almost all regards. However recently it seems like the in-app wiki viewer is broken, with the sidebar seemingly superimposed on the main content. I hope this can be fixed soon, it was a useful feature. Also, this does not impact the randomization feature at all, but it is worth considering updating all cards to their current versions. Some cards have the old text/layouts, and many of them have since been modified via errata and whatnot. Finally, it would be nice to update the in-game token counter with Favors! Thanks for making this great app for free!

### 5/5 — No Rising Sun?

*2024-10-16, version 1.15.0*

I really enjoy the look and feel of this app, but was disappointed to launch it and have it be incomplete. Will Rising Sun be added, or is there a way for me to add it manually?
