### 4/5 — Just a little fix

*2025-08-19*

The game and the app is awesome, just a little thing needs to be fixed. In the newer iphone models, some texts appear under the notification notch, besides the front camera. They just need to bring the texts a little bit lower, and this problem will be solved.

### 5/5 — Great adaptation of the board game

*2025-07-08*

Well made app of the galaxy trucker board game. Campaign is fun to play and great training on rules and muscle memory while building ship, to later roast your friends at the game table .

### 5/5 — Sehr gut!

*2025-03-01*

Sehr gute Umsetzung des Brettspiels. Macht wirklich spaß!

**Developer response:** Thank you very much for your feedback!

### 4/5 — Screen Issues on Iphone

*2025-02-13, version 3.6.882*

Great app - only a minor complaint.
Text gets stuck behind the iphone island. 

When countdown happens to finish ship building - you cannot select tiles. Effectively you can do nothing until the countdown ends.

### 5/5 — Fun for quick sessions

*2024-08-07*

Love that the game is in portrait mode! Sadly the rulebook is bugged and won’t let me x out to go back to my game, and then I have to close and restart the app :(

**Developer response:** Thank you for the review :-)
We are aware of the rulebook, we will fix that in the next update! Sorry for the troubles :(

### 5/5 — Skvělá hra!

*2024-02-25, version 3.6.811*

Návyková hra s humornou kampaní. Chtělo by to nové DLC nebo sequel. 🥹

Drsná štreka mrk mrk

### 5/5 — Played a bunch

*2024-02-09, version 3.6.811*

Pretty fun dang game.  Never played in real life but if feels like a board game.   Silly banter add on and great AI competition.

### 2/5 — Great Adaptation with Some Room to Improve

*2023-10-12*

The digital rendition of Galaxy Trucker comes with engaging solo modes and campaigns that tickle your strategic muscles. While the gameplay remains enjoyable, certain aspects need an overhaul: 

 Aesthetics: The font selection feels out of sync with the game’s overall style, and some in-game texts suffer from poor visibility due to their diminutive size and low contrast. The tile design feels a tad antiquated, especially when juxtaposed against the widely-promoted second edition. A feature to toggle between »legacy« and second edition tile sets would be a pleasant touch. 

 Interface: The app doesn’t seem optimized for newer iPhone models, evidenced by obscured UI elements hidden beneath the notch.  
Misleading Description: Contrary to the App Store's claim of "no in-app purchases", there's at least one lurking in the game. 

 External Music Issue: A minor hiccup – when jamming to personal playlists with the device's sound off, launching the game curiously dims the music volume, despite there being no game sound. 

 Device Compatibility: A universal app inclusive of an iPad version would elevate the experience for tablet enthusiasts and is pretty much essential nowadays. 

 Despite its quirks, the game holds charm. However, a polish in terms of look and optimization would make this digital adaptation truly shine.

**Developer response:** Thank you for the comprehensive review! We are aware of the aeshtetics issue and we're thinking about upgrading this. 
The only purchase we offer is expansion. I do not consider that as an in-app purchase as such... But I guess it is a borderline case. 
Ext music: if you minimalize the app, so the sound goes back up, and then return to the app, the sound will stay. Sorry about that! Working on a fix.
Have a nice day,
CGE team

### 5/5 — Tolles Spiel!

*2023-09-20*

Die Spieldarstellung und die Aufgaben/Missionen mit den Dialogen machen es zu einem abenteuerlichen Erlebnis aufm Smartphone.

**Developer response:** Thank you :-)

### 5/5 — Tres bon jeu

*2023-08-02*

Fidèle à la version plateau avec des plus très intéressants

**Developer response:** Thank you :-)
