### 5/5 — One of the best board games

*2026-08-18, version 1.08.5*

I bought this one on steam years ago and didn’t know there was an app on iOS. So happy I once checked. Kinda expensive, but knowing you purchase it for life saves a tear ❤️

### 3/5 — Bundle

*2026-08-16, version 1.08.5*

Once you buy a few expansions, it does not give you any credit later if you buy all expansions

### 4/5 — Enjoying but weighted

*2026-08-11, version 1.08.5*

I’m not convinced the AI version isn’t weighted for it to win. Example, we both had 1 witch each. The AI tool had the witch 6 times before mine turned up once. This isn’t possible. Same with Militia. Still enjoy playing though.

### 2/5 — Needs bug fixing and more app testing

*2026-08-10, version 1.08.5*

This app needs plenty of bug fixes and more testing because some things just do not make sense. Like the plain switch-offs—you know, when you are playing with your friends, like your first and your other friend, and then your friend, I mean next. The switch-off of the players, I guess, like the title—I do not know—there is something somewhere in there that is wrong because we get confused when it says. I wanted it to say my turn versus the other predator's turn, and then, when the turn is over, you knew that you were right, so you get confused like, why do I go again, or why do they go again? It just does not make sense, so please fix that. It needs to be fixed.

### 5/5 — Funnest Game Ever!!

*2026-08-10, version 1.08.5*

We love table top Dominion and this just ups your game so much! The Ai is so good and can show you so much about how to play certain cards. Definitely a must for fans of the game!

### 5/5 — Dominion is the best

*2026-08-09, version 1.08.5*

Gud game

### 3/5 — One big flaw

*2026-08-09, version 1.08.5*

While the gameplay is great and seamless, the game is full of players who abandon games, however the clock timer makes you wait as long as 5 minutes before considering the game abandoned. Often players will slow play and deliberately wait 4 minutes before playing just to get under your skin. Idle times should he significantly reduced.

Also, unlike the browser version of this game, you are unable to continue a game with bots if your opponent resigns mid game. This is a simple feature that should definitely be added.

### 5/5 — Favorite game ever

*2026-08-07, version 1.08.5*

The app plays so smoothly and has helped me to understand the game so much better for whenever I play irl with real cards

### 5/5 — Pls add more expansions!!2!

*2026-08-06, version 1.08.5*

Pls pls pls I love kings courting a mastermind, which masterminds a kings court, which kings courts a kings court, which kings courts a kings court, which kings courts a kings court, which kings courts a kings court, which kings courts a kings court, which kings courts 27 bridges, 27 highways, 27 fishing villages, 27 journeymen, 27 pixies, 27 watch doges, 27 samuri, 27 groundkeepers and 27 blockades, which blockades 8 colonies (cus they now cost 0), 8 provinces (cus they now cost 0), 8 duchies (cus they now cost 0), 8 estates (they cost 0 too probably), all 10 curses (to flex on my opponent), and all the remaining cards in the supply, and utterly, unmagnanimously, destroying my opponent by beating them 798 victory points to 0 victory points. It makes me so horny! pls pls pls add 34 more expansions 😍😍😍🥰🫠🫪😍😍 but it sucks when a game bugs out and doesn’t let you play when it’s your turn causing to run out of time and forfeit but it’s 1 red flag among the 2374 green flags I love my husband the dominion app and would never file for divorce

### 3/5 — Great game, awful user interface

*2026-08-03, version 1.08.5*

I love Dominion, but this implementation is seriously flawed. Amy app that requires dragging things up from the bottom of the screen is badly written. Too often I wind up switching apps by trying to select cards from my hand. Can’t you just let me rap them and then give me a button that plays them?

Also, why make me explicitly play my money cards? They should automatically be in play when I run out of actions. And more than once, because the two buttons are so close together, I have accidentally pressed both buttons”play treasures” and “end buys” at the same time, effectively forfeiting the buy phase of my turn.

In short, the game is great, the AI is a tough opponent,  it game play is terribly frustrating. Clean up the interface issues and I’ll give it 5 stars. As it is, three stars is generous.
