### 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.

### 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.

### 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

### 4/5 — Nice adaptation of board game but…

*2022-12-09, version 3.3.120*

Nice adaptation of the board game that is plays well on small screens but… don’t expect a bigger/full size screen on a ipad: it remains small. Come on, Devs sort this issue out!!! Other than that, it’s a good!

* Edit *

Turns out that i bought the phone version and that there is a separate iPad version.   So… I duly bought it and I like it.  Good game now hat I can see!!!

### 5/5 — so much fun

*2022-07-01, version 3.3.120*

I love the board game and this game does a great job for solo play

### 5/5 — Japanese edition plz

*2022-04-13*

Fun game!

### 5/5 — Огнищще огненское!! Hell yeah!!

*2021-11-01, version 3.1.7*

Veni vidi vici swingin maan🔥

### 4/5 — Nicht ganz perfekt

*2021-10-10*

Das sowohl digital als auch auf dem Brett grandios, keine Frage. Leider ist es wegen Verbindungsproblemen schon 2 Mal vorgekommen, dass ich in mehreren (5 laufenden Spielen) wegen Inaktivität durch die KI ersetzt wurde. Die Probleme liegen definitiv auf der Serverseite, was die Patchnotes bestätigen und nicht an meiner besch*beep*s*beep*nen Internetleitung. Also liebe Entwickler! Bei Problemen solchen oder ähnlichen Problemen, Serverzeit anhalten oder ein kompletten Server Rollback. Wenn das in Zukunft besser läuft, gibts wieder 5 Sterne.

Update: Leider hat sich seither nicht viel verbessert. App stürzt sehr oft ab und manche Runden stecken fest und es passiert nichts mehr, wenn Spieler durch KI ersetzt werden. 

Bitte bitte noch mal n bisschen Arbeit reinsteckt. Es ist wirklich eines der  besten Spiele, als Brett oder digitales Spiel.

### 5/5 — A real gem

*2021-08-09*

This is a very well done port of the board game but also adds a lot of single player content. It’s a very fun game of luck and skill, build a ship with the best scrap parts you can find and hope the dice favor you. Always peek at the mission cards after you’ve welded your first part, it’s vital to know how many cannons and crew you may need, and if you need cannons on the side.

### 2/5 — Got me

*2021-06-15*

I paid again for this game hoping it was a fixed version of the other game they had. Admittedly the other game was never that great, seemed a little boring but I still paid for it and wanted to try playing it online. That doesn’t work despite trying to change my password the server doesn’t work. I was hoping they fixed it and since they didn’t explain this is the exact same game just sized for a phone I wasted more money. And therefore I am being generous with just two.

### 3/5 — Super Spiel aber...

*2021-03-07*

Wo bleibt der Screen Support für alle iPhone ab X?

### 3/5 — Theoretically awesome, but with a major flaw!

*2021-01-10*

The game is a great adaptation of the boardgame, but the missing notifications on iOS really makes playing it with friends terrible. You need to open the app every x hours to figure out if it is your turn. In such a state it is not really recommendable for asyn multiplayer setups in corona times (except you are a hardcore fan of the board game). So sad...

### 5/5 — Impressed

*2020-12-31, version 3.0.166*

Very very very cool. Started with the board game like most and loving this so far

### 5/5 — Great

*2020-12-25, version 3.0.166*

Great game but wish there was an iPad screen size option

### 5/5 — Really fun and helpful as board game companion

*2020-11-12*

The game is super fun just like the board game. The rules of the board game can be a bit overwhelming, but spending an extra five bucks for this app really helps one understand the nuance of the game. Overall, it’s really enjoyable and well designed game.

### 4/5 — Great Game, but missing a number of features

*2020-11-07*

It’s a great adaptation of the board game on the surface, but lack of some features can make it very frustrating. 
1) Formatting.  The game is not formatted well for newer iPhones with some elements hard to click on and read.  It definitely needs some UI tuning. 
2) Push Notifications.  PLEASE ADD PUSH NOTIFICATIONS.  Turn based games are way harder to play if I have to remember to come back and check the game for my turn.

### 5/5 — Wundervolle Brettspielumsetzung

*2020-10-02*

Minimale Bugs, viel Einspieler-Content

### 2/5 — App Crashes

*2020-08-21*

It would be a great game if it actually worked and the IT responded. 2 stars instead of 0 because the game is fun when it works, only 2 stars because they don’t seem to care much as its been a week and nothing has been fixed. 

If something changes, and the game works, would be happy to change to 5 stars.

### 1/5 — I have to pay double?!

*2022-03-25, version 3.3.120*

I downloaded on my iPhone and I have to pay again to get the iPad version!

### 1/5 — Cute game but Online is worthless

*2020-11-12*

We bought this game to play together but can’t play it long enough to make a good read if its good. We only managed to get one game actually created and it locked up before I could build my ship. Every other time the games just crashes when you try to start the online game. So try at at your own risk if you want to play online.

### 1/5 — Inutilizzabile

*2020-08-18, version 2.9.93*

Il testo è così piccolo da risultare del tutto illeggibile. Voglio indietro  i miei soldi!

### 1/5 — Screen cut off on iPhone 11

*2020-04-15, version 2.9.92*

This game is poorly optimised for iPhone 11. The buttons are tiny and hard to press. Half of the buttons/text is cut off either by the rounded corners on the screen or the notch at the top. Will be asking for a refund if not fixed.

### 1/5 — So frustrating

*2020-02-24, version 2.9.92*

I hate the building ship part... why can’t I just put components where I want them... all this grabbing tiles in a rush and making sure they have the right connectors is awful (and a stupid mechanic).

And on my iPhone 11 all the text across the top of the screen is cut off by the black area where the camera is and I can’t find a way to make it not use the top area... so I can’t read half the card descriptions etc. Poor design.

### 1/5 — Constantly unable to connect

*2018-10-30, version 2.8.4*

Non stop "you need to be online to go to the lobby". Yet everything else works. YouTube, google, Facebook all load. Doesn't matter wifi or cell data, same issue. Force quit and reload - same issue. Then randomly it'll start working. Infuriating and not a good waste of time. 

When the game works, it's AWESOME.

### 1/5 — Opening App Tried to Bill Me

*2018-05-09, version 2.7.2*

I opened the app for the first time and I got a message saying Purchase Failed. I assume the app had tried to do an in-app purchase as it opened, so that is an instant delete.

### 1/5 — Great Game But...

*2018-04-03, version 2.7.2*

Absolute con that I have to pay twice for iPad and iPhone version.

Even more of a con that I have to pay twice for the additional content.

### 1/5 — Looks great.... but crashes

*2017-10-18, version 2.6.1*

Game looks superb but can't even play the game as it crashes. Real shame!

Update!! 
Yay! It works beautifully. Thank you guys. If only the people who made Stone Age would update their app.!! 
This fix will help me though!!! Cheers! :)

### 1/5 — Keeps crashing!!

*2017-10-16, version 2.5.3*

Opening tutorial or campaign causes game to crash

### 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!

### 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.

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

### 5/5 — Perfektní

*2023-04-21, version 3.4.578*

Tato hra vyvolává kosmickou závislost! Kampaň je úžasná! Určitě dokoupim ještě rozšíření 🙂

### 5/5 — 10/10

This game (board game) is a must!
