### 4/5 — Great after figuring out scoring

*2024-04-14*

I’m revising prior reviews because now that I’ve finally figured out how scoring works, and that you can use star actions to mark either sheet (not just the one you’re looking at), I’m getting better scores. I don’t score real high, but it still is very satisfying. 

I applaud the developer for making this game premium at a fair price with no ads. I also love the design and the way the dice rolls and checking boxes work. And the way AI works (to block you) is excellent, it makes you feel like a human is playing against you, but without the stress of trying to beat an AI’s score. Brilliant. 

Once I figured out how all the mechanics work, I’m enjoying this game immensely. A good tutorial would have helped. It took playing a lot and reading the rules several times for things to click. 

I’m glad I stuck with it, because this is an excellent solo game, that plays well and is priced fairly. It could use a little battery optimization, but it’s not too bad. No complaints really. Ignore my prior reviews before things clicked.

Thank you developer! This might be my favorite phone game now. Even though I always score as a “deckhand” LOL

Thanks for your review. We are currently working on a tutorial system that should be in Beta this month. Feel free to join our discord and request beta access.

There are also a lot of strategy discussions as well as rules questions answered. The game is a lot deeper that most roll n writes.  You might also visit the game on Board Game Geek to learn more.

### 4/5 — All the mechanics are there

*2024-02-04*

And it’s an enjoyable experience but be warned it is not a beautiful or elegant looking game.  But despite that it is fun to play and it mimics the roll and write very well. 

A couple of wish list items. Larger font!  I’m getting older and even with readers on my ipad it’s hard to read. The licenses can be tapped to get larger but they do not go away after tapping agin. You have to wait for the game to shrink them. Not everything can be enlarged either. 

Some of the background choices make the iconography hard to see and read in the fish area especially. 

The dice fall to the bottom of the screen and block the income track. Luckily on my iPad I can go to landscape mode which lets me see the income track. Otherwise it’s a no go. The income track is important information. 

Would love to see a undo button. Otherwise I have to be very careful I don’t a tap a die I don’t want. 

I’m guessing it’s a money and time issue for some of the graphic design decision but the project seems a bit rushed. It’s one of my favorite games and I hope that you are going to continue to improve on it.  I do appreciate that you took the time to digitize this game though. Thank you!

### 4/5 — Good game with glitches

*2024-02-03*

Good game, but it crashes quite a bit and doesn’t save progress. There have been framerate issues as well, particularly when playing for longer than a half an hour.

### 4/5 — Great Implementation but no Multiplayer

*2023-12-16*

This is a great game to get a digital version of and it all works as expected. Some of the UI is not 100% intuitive but it doesn’t take long to learn. My only gripe is that there is no simulated multiplayer. It looses its replay ability with only having the solo mode available (in the solo mode stuff is crossed out on your own sheet making it unavailable, instead of trying to beat someone head to head in scoring).

**Developer response:** Thanks for your review and we expect multiplayer to launch spring 2024.  

Look for us in discord and join our beta if you would like to help in the development.

### 3/5 — Please and an Multiplayer variant

*2023-12-09*

I miss a Multiplayer variant or online contest

### 4/5 — Gone fishin’

*2023-11-23*

Solid implementation of one of my all time favorite roll & write games. A little bit to learn with the UI, but I think it’s pretty intuitive.

Couldn’t figure out how to add my name to be tracked in high scores.

### 3/5 — Decent but what about my top LOCAL score?

*2023-11-19*

I'm enjoying the game, and while the global leaderboards seem decently implemented, why not include my own local all time and weekly high scores?  I'd far rather track my own progress over how I rank in the world as I'll likely not even be able to make the top 100 all time or weekly.

### 3/5 — Well implemented- SOLO ONLY

*2023-11-19*

Game is well implemented, runs smoothly and no bugs. Graphics are nothing special but functional and the interface is intuitive. 

However this is the solo mode only, this is not clearly communicated In the description so is a little misleading as I bought this to play with my partner

### 1/5 — Waste of money

*2024-04-09*

There is no tutorial and constant crashing on my iPad make the game unplayable.

**Developer response:** Tutorial on the way.  Probably will be released in June.  


Sorry to hear about your crashes we will investigate it.

### 1/5 — Boring

*2024-02-20*

No AI computer opponents, just some boring solitaire version

### 1/5 — Disgustingly amateur.

*2023-12-01*

This game design is too good to be done this dirty.

### 2/5 — App Crashed Every Time

*2024-02-27*

I really want to enjoy this game, and love the first two rounds I make it through each time I try to play it, but the app has crashed every time I’ve tried to play (about 5 or 6 times now). 
Tried deleting the app and redownloading it, but no luck. It still crashes. Double-checked that my phone was compatible with the app, and it is, so… I’m not sure what else can be done from my end, unfortunately. 
Hope if there’s an issue with bugs, they’re fixed soon so I can make it through the game, because the game itself seems really fun!!

### 2/5 — Is there no way to turn off the music?!?

*2023-12-27*

It jumped right in to a game without any tutorial or rules and I cannot figure out how to turn off the endless music. I guess there's a link to a rules video, but if I can't turn off the music it's really unplayable for me.

### 2/5 — First look review

*2023-11-23*

Game looks like it was made in the early 2010s. No tutorial, just a link to a rulebook and a video.

… Response to Devs: … Clever was a horrendous implementation.

**Developer response:** The app is always being polished and we have a strong beta test group that helps iron out issues that are of concern. A long awaited tutorial is being developed as well as some UI and quality of life improvements. Granted, it is one of the more complex roll and write games out there. I remember when I first downloaded and played Ganz Schön Clever, I had similar concerns, but knew it was worth it to learn the complexities of the game and very glad I did.

### 3/5 — Please add the multiplayer mode

*2024-05-06*

I love the physical game very much, but the solo mode is much weaker in comparison.

### 3/5 — Lovely game but it keeps crashing.

*2024-02-25*

Like I said in the title I can play for a little while and randomly it just closes.

### 3/5 — love this app, but now crashing

*2024-01-26*

I absolutely love this game, it’s so fun figuring out all the possibilities and shooting for the high scoreboard!

unfortunately the latest update has introduced significant glitches, mostly with the fishing phase. Now the game often crashes, i can’t complete a game most times on my phone. MAJOR bummer.

The achievements also would be fun to shoot for - can I get 45 fish in one game, for example - BUT nope, the ones I do complete simply aren’t recorded.

Will be glad to update review if issues are fixed, want it to be five stars!!

### 5/5 — Gute Umsetzung, gefällt mir sehr gut

*2024-06-02*

Solo Modus für Fleet the dice , einfach nur gut. Es ist einfach eines der besten Roll & Write Spiele auf dem Markt. Schon ein sehr gutes Kennerspiel. Bitte noch auf deutsch, dann gibt es einen 6. Stern.

### 5/5 — Neat game - good digital adaption

*2024-01-24*

I like the game and also how it is designed for the iPhone. However, since the last update (24th Jan 2024) the game crashes a lot of times during one of the fishing phases. 

Otherwise I enjoy playing this one a lot

### 5/5 — Achievements disappear

*2023-12-11*

Great game would love it if the achievements stuck around though!

### 5/5 — Excellent Roll and Write

*2023-12-06*

One of my favourite roll and writes, it is very addictive to play on my commute.

### 5/5 — Question

*2023-11-26*

When getting a STAR during the Town phase, how do you change to the other sheet if you want to use the Star to mark off something in the boat area (sheet)? Every playthrough video I have seen allows this but I can’t seem to find a way to change sheets on the digital game.

### 5/5 — Excellent

*2023-11-21*

I have wanted to play this game for a while, and the app is great. Liz Davidson’s video on YouTube is a perfect way to learn it. The app is fairly intuitive without any problems that I have encountered.

### 4/5 — How to zoom??

*2024-12-26*

Great game but how do you zoom in to read the buildings and licenses?

**Developer response:** If you enable accessibility mode, you can use the native iOS zoom feature.

### 4/5 — Fun game - Good Implementation

*2024-05-16*

I’ve been having a lot of fun with this app, it’s a good implementation of the solo version of Fleet the Dice Game.  One small issue, the achievements aren’t saving correctly from game to game.

### 4/5 — Great iteration of the actual dice game

*2024-05-03*

The game plays great solo, but it is more fun with others - I just learned that a pass-n-play version is in beta testing, which makes this app even better.  But I’m sure most fans are eagerly awaiting for an online multiplayer mode!

Thanks MVP, we are close to Beta on a Pass-N-Play local multiplayer version. If interested, please join our discord and request Beta access.

### 4/5 — Great iteration of the actual dice game

*2024-05-01*

The game plays great solo, but it is more fun with others - and as we are now in Spring of 2024, the developers have still not announced when the multiplayer version will be released.
