### 3/5 — Bad UI

*2026-08-23, version 2.0.3*

Unintuitive to have to drop the character on the space instead of point your finger at the space. The game clearly understands dragging your finger over the cards, since it highlights them as you do so, but doesn’t bring up the card display unless you individually tap on them. Super awkward that you can’t see all the spaces at once — I spent a huge chunk of the game forgetting that there’s a 3-wood space since it was slightly off-screen. Just overall wildly too heavily in favour of making it “pretty” rather than readable and playable.  I could go for ages in the failings of the UI. The game functions, so no complaints there, but just so awkward and unpleasant to control and read.

### 2/5 — Too many bugs

*2026-07-06, version 2.0.3*

This is mine and my wife’s favorite game. We were so stoked to find out there’s a phone version we can play. But there are far too many bugs to make it worth playing. Not worth the money. Hope the fix the bugs.

### 3/5 — Nice but ripping people off with the latest expansion

*2026-05-25, version 2.0.3*

A nice game, well-adapted. Unfortunately, they’re ripping people off with the Bellfaire expansion by not letting those who have purchased it share a game with those who haven’t. Even purchase sharing with family members seems to be disabled for this latest expansion. Emailed support but, naturally, never received a reply…

### 4/5 — Won’t play anymore

*2026-05-18, version 2.0.1*

Thoroughly enjoyed this app until a recent update added a card that lets the AI swap hands down with you. Will absolutely not play this game until the option to remove that card is added. This effect has never been part of Everdell, and it is an unwelcome and unfun inclusion. Crafting a plan to play a card in your hand, only to have it randomly stolen? It’s not even interesting.

### 4/5 — AI행동 패턴 다양성 증가

*2026-05-13*

게임은 정말 재밌습니다. 챌린지모드 올 클리어를 하나만 남긴 상황에서 느낀점을 이야기하자면, AI의 패턴이 너무 똑같다는 것 입니다. 가게주인, 여관주인, 역사학자, 기중기등 OP 카드를 우선시해서 가져가는건 이해하지만 3AI 모두 거기에 치중하는 모습입니다. 결국 미션을 깨기 위해서(높은 점수 득점)채집자, 수확자 콤보나 학교등을 노리게 되는데 저 또한 AI처럼 어떠한 챌린지를 도전해도 이런것 들만 집중해서 반복 선택하게 되는 느낌을 받았습니다. 그리고 이는 AI에게 크게 방해 받는일이 거의 없다 싶이 합니다. 일부러 이것을 노리고 만든거라면 이해가 가지만 쫌 더 다양한 패턴을 보였으면 하는 바람이 있습니다. AI들은 각자 OP카드를 중점으로 하되, 생산, 장소, 관리 등을 차선책으로 선택하게 했으면 하는 방법도 있다고 생각합니다. 그리고 한글화도 이루어졌으면 하는 바램입니다.

### 3/5 — Everdell ist toll, aber die digitale Version ist etwas holprig, nicht schlecht

*2026-04-04*

Ein großes Problem ist die Performance auf mobilen Geräten, es könnte wesentlich besser optimiert werden, vor allem Handys werden schnell warm. Auch das Bewegen der Spielkarte funktioniert nicht richtig flüssig. Etwas das besonders bei längeren Abständen zwischen Spielzügen stört ist, dass wenn man kurz eine andere App öffnet und Everdell in den Hintergrund geht, die App neu lädt und insgesamt drei Ladebildschirme anzeigt, nur um sich mit dem Spiel zu verbinden. Es ist sicherlich schwer zu ein komplexes Spiel digital umzusetzen, das ist aber eigentlich recht gut gelungen, konkrete Verbesserungen für die Bedienung an sich fallen mir nicht ein, aber eine wesentlich flüssigere Spielerfahrung könnte das Spielerlebnis definitiv erleichtern.

### 4/5 — Cool but some things I noticed

*2026-03-07, version 1.3.1*

Cool, with good signals to help you know who which cards you have available. That’s helpful with the  ares being so small. Oddly enough though, I felt playing the physical board game came easier.

### 5/5 — Love it

*2026-02-18, version 1.3.0*

Wish the expansion packs were included.

### 4/5 — Ok.

*2026-02-16, version 1.2.4*

Ogólnie gra ok, ale jak już za nią płacimy, to zróbcie jakieś rozszerzenia, dodatki.

### 5/5 — Innietown

*2026-02-15*

Ein wirklich wunderbares Spiel! Ich hoffe das die Erweiterungen noch dazu kommen

### 4/5 — Great game but….

*2026-02-06, version 1.2.4*

Great game but could use more sensitivity/calibration closer to the actual spot you want your character to go onto. I’ve played about 20 games in the last 3 days

## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated)

### 1/5 — Screen is too small & bad controls

*2026-08-03, version 2.0.3*

The fact that you read more than play, and the worker dragging feature that's extremely imprecise annoys me to no end; even with $100 mouse on a Desktop (also assuming I use it as well as a FPS game champion), I could argue that dragging can occasionally be annoyingly imprecise. Don't buy this game unless you play it on a large Notebook screen minimum, with a mouse.

### 1/5 — Stop asking me for a review every time I open the game

*2026-07-08, version 2.0.3*

Please

### 1/5 — Community safety concerns

*2026-07-07, version 2.0.3*

I’ve been on this app since day one.  I’ve seen users be verbally abusive, use hate speech, and threaten the lives of other players and family members, and when I’ve reported it to developers, they’ve simply been directed me to block those users in game. Developers did not take any steps to ban those users after reporting of their conduct in user feedback.  Also leaderboard will reset randomly.  

Also, super annoying that it’ll ask you to rate the game every time you win an online game

### 1/5 — No expansions

*2026-05-14, version 2.0.0*

A new expansion Bellfaire was launched today, but you are unable to purchase it in the app, pressing the button does nothing, so the expansion is unable to be played

### 1/5 — Page blocked by postal pigeon…

*2026-04-30, version 1.3.2*

Glitch and was unable to navigate the game anymore.. otherwise good.

### 1/5 — Recent Bug Fix

*2026-02-22, version 1.3.1*

With the latest bug fix we were not able to create a friends match at all. I had to reinstall the game to correct that issue….NOW our legendary cards and extra cards are not being activated at all in the matches. CAN Someone help? We reinstalled the game again and it still did not correct the problem. We need help! My husband and my account are glitched and not showing the extras.

### 1/5 — Wie man ein gutes Spiel kaputt fixed

*2026-02-21, version 1.3.1*

Nach dem Update Bugs ohne Ende, Spielabstürze, Figuren werden nicht mehr gesehen, jeder Furz muss bestätigt werden… wieso zerstört man dieses schöne Spiel..??

### 1/5 — Unsafe

*2026-02-19, version 1.3.0*

I’ve been on this app since day one.  I’ve seen users be verbally abusive, use hate speech, and threaten the lives of other players and family members, and when I’ve reported it to developers, they’ve simply been directed me to block those users in game. Developers did not take any steps to ban those users after reporting of their conduct in user feedback.  Also leaderboard reset randomly.

### 1/5 — Stole my money

*2025-11-26, version 1.2.4*

I previously bought the Gimmergold expansion within the app, but when I uninstalled and later redownloaded the app, I no longer had the expansion. This is a very silly oversight by QA, they should have been aware of this issue!

### 1/5 — Bug Fix Please!

*2025-10-31, version 1.2.4*

Love the game. Just bought the expansion. It doesn’t score correctly. Just recently I played a castle that should have been worth 4 plus 4 extra and it gave me 2 total points. This is not the first time it’s happened either, Something is wrong. Please fix!

### 5/5 — Best $10 spent

*2026-08-10, version 2.0.3*

Been wanting to purchase everdell. This was an affordable method to see if I would like it. Took me 10 losses to start winning

### 5/5 — Great game but hair trigger swiping

*2026-06-26, version 2.0.3*

Great game. Important issue with the app: by tapping a card you view it. But even a slightly wrong tap will play that card without being able to undo the move. Every player in our group had multiple misplays — aka accidental moves. Frustrating. GAME MAKER: PLEASE ALLOW FOR UNDO OR CONFIRM FOR CARD SWIPES.

### 5/5 — Love

*2026-05-29, version 2.0.3*

I absolutely love this world. I’d be excited if they brought the expansions along for the ride.

### 5/5 — Great!

*2026-05-27, version 2.0.3*

Amazing! Fun for long amounts of time

### 5/5 — Great game, please add more expansions 🙏

*2026-04-26, version 1.3.2*

Great adaptation of an amazing game, but I wish more Everdell expansions were released. In Root Digital, you guys pump out high quality expansions regularly, and I always get them as soon as they are released. I wish Everdell also got the same attention, it has many interesting expansions, and I definitely would be interested in adding them to my DireWolf collection.

### 5/5 — Well done

*2026-03-11, version 1.3.1*

This is so fun to play for someone who has played the physical game.

### 5/5 — This game rocks

*2026-03-11, version 1.3.1*

My girlfriend and I fell in love with the board game and are delighted to be able to play virtually!

### 5/5 — Update Bugs

*2026-02-23, version 1.3.1*

My wife and I Love this game. We spend several hours playing throughout the week. With this latest update however, it somehow disabled the legendary card and bonus card purchases. We want the extras we paid for back please.

### 5/5 — Great

*2026-02-21, version 1.3.1*

Very nice that the app is still being worked on! It looks way better on iPhone 16 Pro after the new update - no more ugly borders ❤️ Thanks a lot!

### 5/5 — Create Game

*2026-02-18, version 1.3.0*

The latest update has made the create game feature network very well. Hovering over events now requires a long depression. Creating a game with friends is near impossible. If you are able to create a game, the legendary and rug wart cards are gone.  love the game been playing for years would like to see potentially the addition of the Everdell expansions.
