Fun but buggy
Never played the physical game, but I’m really enjoying learning it as I go here. I’ve bought a couple different expansions- they make the game a lot more interesting, although I wish the instructions were more clear for how some of the more complicated cards work (you kind of just have to figure it out using trial and error).
The feature I like the most is also the one causing me the most trouble: there are “campaigns” which have fun extra rules or bonuses for each round, except half the time when I win the round, in the “Score” screen, it tells me I have to try again (like it does when you lose)!! I haven’t figured out how to get it to stop doing it- restarting the app doesnt help- and there’s nowhere to file a bug repot besides discord. PLEASE FIX THIS it’s really, REALLY frustrating.

Not a great app
The UI in this app is pretty bad. Setting up games with friends is annoying and unintuitive. As far as I can tell it is missing really helpful features of the desktop version such as banning certain cards. The cost of expansions is pretty good when you compare it to the physical set, but it's pretty absurd when you compare it to any kind of digital game. They also have the full set slightly discounted - however - if you buy a single expansion it will not be discounted from the full set if you decide to buy the full set. The AI is pretty brutal and its RNG is extremely questionable.
Functionally it works pretty well with few bugs, so at least it has that going for it.

Good, Bad, and Possible Improvements
I am absolutely glad this game was published as digital, compared to when it was only available in board game format. That being said, the AI interface is absolutely prone to cheating. You have to be aware of its quirks and pay strict attention to your gameplay if you want to win.
Finally that brings me to my last point: I wish there was an experimental game where WE could chose our own cards from different expansions and additions and see how they play together or against each other. With this, I could also build a comfort level game where I could play a game when I'm trying to solve real life problems (THIS is how I cope with real life: I put on a comfort game that takes only a little attention while my primary focus wanders and digs through problems and finds their solutions. If I sit down to do a brain dump, only the trivialities of life emerge. I have to have part of my brain focus, albeit barely focused, on something repetitive that takes up some processing power for the real problems and solutions to appear). I doubt I am the only one in the whole world who needs to process problems this way. A solution from this platform in the shape of an experimental and/or comfort game addition would be great. I would probably even purchase the chance to build my own deck from what I currently own IF a a 7 day trial were offered so I could be sure the AI interface wasn't still being so much of a cheating bastard that I could actually enjoy playing a game at comfort level.

Great for beginners!
I’ve never played this game physically, but it is pretty quick to learn just by playing. Super cool concept of a game and i will probably end up buying it to play with my family. The base game is completely free with no ads which is awesome and the expansions are super cheap compared to buying the physical versions.

Great game
I’m new to Dominion but loving the game so far and the app is so chill. Only gripe is the medium AI is insane while Easy is too easy. Somehow it just starts being able to buy Province after Province when I can barely afford a single one.
Best game ever
Most amazing iOS implementation of a game I’ve ever played. BUY it, you won’t regret it
Love the app and glad it is free
I just played this card game the other day. Now I ordered the big box and am playing it online. The online version is awesome!
Love it
One of the best deck builder games. We cast on to the tv and play on the big screen,so fun.
It DOES cheat
The game is consistent with the mechanics of the card game but the AI cheats.
Stop the blatant cheating
The developers keep responding, that it is random the AI getting perfect deals and having weighted cards. But instead of saying the same thing over and over, possibly step back and maybe notice a trend of everyone saying that when playing solo, the computer seems to get ridiculously uneven deals. That isn’t a quirk or random, it’s broken programming that is pointed out over and over by many reviewers. Possibly fix this and you’ll have a 5 star game instead of saying it’s not broken!
My original review-As the title says, AI is BS! You could buy 5 of the attack cards, you’ll never see them until the last cards in your deck. Guess what the AI, it gets that card the next shuffle after it buys it. Single player game is sucks because of this. Fix the AI and you’ll actually have a game.
Statistics/Mathmatics major in college, started tracking the 2 starting hands and attack card purchase vs being able to use. Guess what 68% of the time the AI gets the attack card first, even if you buy it two or three hands earlier. Also the AI statically will obtain the 5-2 hands (first two hands) 71% of the time if an attack is worth 5, otherwise if the attack is worth 4, shockingly all of the sudden, you the player will get the 2-5 hand when the 5 card is useless (that’s 63%, btw).
Statistically, this game is broken, the AI has loaded deck, loaded opening hands and just sucks because of it. Play real people using the actual cards, you’ll never see the amazing luck the computer gets, especially the last move that just beats you by 1 point (that’s 59% of the games btw, that you’ll lose by one with one last monster hand the AI gets to win)

Great game
I was shown this game as a kid once and got it 12 years later. I play it a lot and showed my gf. She plays daily and is obsessed with it. So much so that I am scared haha
Best game!!! Maybe found 2 bugs
Love this game! I bought all the expansions because I can keep them and play with others.
2 issues I’m noticing. When revealing a treasure with Ironmonger I’m not getting +1. Also when buying a curse, curses that were exiled didn’t give me the option to discard.

One of the best board games
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 ❤️
Bundle
Once you buy a few expansions, it does not give you any credit later if you buy all expansions
Enjoying but weighted
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.
Needs bug fixing and more app testing
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.

Funnest Game Ever!!
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!
Dominion is the best
Gud game
One big flaw
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.

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