User reviews

Some lack of features keeps it from being a mainstay

Some nice things…… There’s a rule book, there’s a tutorial, the bar at the bottom shows whats going on.

Bad things… there’s no way to access the rules during a game. If you Quit, the session is lost. It’d be nice if you could long press to bring up a description of what the icons are (especially since you can’t leave he game to look up the rulebook)

Missing basic functionality

Tiny icons, no way to take back accidnrwlmnutton presses, and if froze up halfway through a game with no recovery option. Waste of $3.

Response from developer

I'm sorry you found the application experience not good enough. A screen shot of the freeze could help understand what the problem is and fix it. We will consider adding an undo feature Map can be zoomed so icons on the map can be seeing larger
