I do have a query though. While playing Quest 5, I noticed what appears to be an issue with the Pass Through Rock spell when it is cast on another hero. Spell wording: “This spell may be cast on any one hero, including yourself. That hero may then move through walls on their next move.” Steps to reproduce: 1. Have the target hero (e.g. the Dwarf) take their turn. 2. On the Elf’s later turn in the same round, cast Pass Through Rock on the Dwarf. 3. End the Wizard’s turn and proceed to Zargon’s turn. 4. At the start of Zargon’s turn, the companion app removes the spell effect from the Dwarf. 5. When the Dwarf’s next turn arrives (the following round), the spell is no longer active, preventing the Dwarf from moving through walls. Expected behaviour: The spell should remain active until the targeted hero’s next move, even if that move occurs in the following round. This matches the wording on the spell card. Actual behaviour: The spell expires when Zargon’s turn begins (or at the end of the current round), before the targeted hero has an opportunity to use it. I was able to reproduce this behaviour consistently in a test game, so it does not appear to be a one-off occurrence. Could you please confirm whether this is intended behaviour or, if not, investigate it as a possible issue with the companion app? Thank you. ### 4/5 — Great for me and the wife but no sound sucks *2026-06-23, version 6.1* Got Heroquest for Xmas and wanted to play together with the wife and this app allows us to play without worrying about having to deal as the game master. Only gripe I have with it is that the sound never works, would love to hear the story telling in a different voice than mine. ### 3/5 — Nützlich, aber mit Schwächen *2026-04-21* Alles in allem eine gute App. Jedoch funktioniert das angreifen nicht mehr, was zu ein paar kleinen Problemen führt ### 4/5 — Soweit gut nicht aktuell *2026-03-31* Es fehlen 2 Missionen Bellars Keep und das neue Moraks Magier. Müsste schneller dran gearbeitet werden ### 3/5 — Morcars Magier *2026-03-21* Diese Erweiterung fehlt leider noch. ### 4/5 — Molto utile, ma… *2026-03-10, version 6.1* App veramente molto utile, ti permette di giocare senza master, anche se i tiri con i dadi dell’applicazione sono troppo sbilanciati, conviene usare i dadi fisici, c’è qualche bug da correggere, come la sequenza dei turni dei giocatori e il fine turno e poi manca VERAMENTE una scheda per salvare i personaggi, quella sarebbe utilissima, non capisco perché non sia stata fatta. Peccato. ### 4/5 — Essentially app to play Heroquest *2026-03-06, version 6.1* That’s for a great app to help play Heroquest and the expansion packs. My daughter and I have enjoyed playing the game together. Will Wizards of mortar be added to the app? ### 4/5 — Leider nicht komplett auf Deutsch *2026-01-28* Die App ist eine gute Idee wenn man niemanden hat, der den Gegner übernehmen will, oder nur zu zweit ist und trotzdem gemeinsam kämpfen möchte. Das Menü ist komplett Deutsch, leider die Sprachausgabe nicht. Wenn ich mit meinem Sohn spiele muss ich alles übersetzen, was ein bisschen die Stimmung killt. Trotzdem finden wir die Idee spitze, wenn auch noch ausbaufähig. ### 3/5 — No hay audio en español *2026-01-04, version 6.1* Estaría bien que estuviera el audio en español para no perder la esencia del juego ### 3/5 — Hypnotic Blaze not working *2026-01-04, version 6.1* We have been using the app since August 25 with little issue. However, since beginning the Kellar’s Keep expansion the Elf’s Hypnotic Blaze no longer works and states ‘no line of sight’ in positions where there is clear sight to all monsters. ### 2/5 — Nice but not compatible *2026-01-02, version 6.1* It’s nice and very useful. Unfortunately it doesn’t allow you to play in more than four players (in some expansions it’s possible); doesn’t allow you to include in your party any animal companion and, last but not least, you have no control over the monsters’ movements ### 4/5 — Great Start- still some to go *2025-12-27, version 6.1* Over all this app is great! I grew up playing this game and have since been bringing some friends in. It’s nice not having to be Zargon. But it would be an even better app (I would give 5 start) If it allowed play over a server. So I can play with family and friends that have the game but live in different parts of the country. Biggest bug that bothers me, If there is a trap on the other side of the door and there are no monsters present; when you search for traps it will not tell you they are there until you go thru the door and trigger it. Even if the dwarf goes thru first, you can’t attempt to disarm the trap. This needs to be fixed! ### 4/5 — Bella trovata! *2025-10-26, version 6.0* Cercavo appunto un’app in grado di permettermi di giocare in due ma entrambi giocando da eroi e con quest’app il tutto é possibile! Ha ancora delle cose da sistemare come all’attacco di un eroe verso il mostro far tirare all’app i dadi di difesa. Oppure segnare quando una magia viene lanciata e quindi non tenerla come ancora disponibile per quel sotterraneo. Ma fa già un sacco di cose e ho apprezzato molto l’arrivo del mostro errante con posizionamento e attacco immediato per non perdere tempo nel proseguimento del gioco. Il tasto “annulla ultima azione” come suggerito in un altro commento sarebbe poi assai utile e risolutiva per recuperare errori di tasti. Spero in futuri aggiornamenti per renderla perfetta! Grazie, ### 3/5 — Aggiornate *2025-10-16, version 6.0* Una bellissima idea ma aggiornate i bug e permettete di tonrare indierrin caso di errori con un tasto undo ### 5/5 — Selbst entwickelte Kampagnen *2025-08-31, version 6.0* Es wäre schön, wenn Nutzer selbst entwickelte Kampagnen einreichen könnten, z.B. gibt es bei YouTube eine tolle Kampagne (Geister von Salzmarsch, Gefahr am Dunwasser) oder die Kampagnen unter heroquestworld.de/Schreiber. Das wäre klasse! ### 3/5 — No aplica bien las reglas *2025-08-17, version 6.0* Antes de nada, decir que ha sido imposible comunicar los problemas de otro modo con el desarrollador. Vamos por la expansión de La Luna del Terror. A los fallos de hechizos y flechas que nos alcanzan sin haber línea de visión según las reglas, problema presente en todas las campañas, añadimos que todas las tramas de disfraces que hay en esta expansión se van al garete porque la app decide arbitrariamente quitar disfraces a los PJ’s y dejarlos expuestos, con lo cual se hace injugable en los términos que propone esta campaña. Además, hay veces que, tras el turno de un personaje, se queda congelado y no deja mover a los siguientes. Por cierto, en ocasiones, ballesteros enemigos atacan con más de un dado cuerpo a cuerpo. Y un doblaje al castellano, puestos a pedir, no estaría mal, que no somos pocos. ### 5/5 — Love it *2025-08-01, version 6.0* Love that app and being able to play with my family and friends ### 5/5 — Amazing 🤗 *2025-07-28, version 5.1* Thank you so much for this! With life so busy, I have little time to relax and when I do not all my friends can join. Thank you for making this, now I can play solo and enjoy the game on my own time as well! ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Horde der Oger - App hängt sich auf. *2025-12-23, version 6.1* Die App hat grundsätzlich viele Vorteile und funktioniert an sich recht gut. Die Sprachausgabe ist nicht auf deutsch - aber das lässt sich verschmerzen. Nun wollten wir jedoch heute die Erweiterung „Horde der Oger“ spielen und die Enttäuschung war groß: Nach den ersten Zügen in der ersten Quest hängt sich die App auf…nichts geht mehr: Die Gegner führen keine Züge mehr aus. Man kann die Quest dann nur noch verlassen/abbrechen. Sehr Schade! Die Erweiterung ist dadurch nicht spielbar. ### 1/5 — Multitud de errores en las junglas *2025-07-27, version 5.1* Hay errores en las cartas de personajes(Mounstros ,héroes y mascotas), en los movimientos,en las trampas y en el tablero. Eso en la misión 1 ,nada más empezar,no me quiero imaginar en las demás. Trampas de enredadera no funcionan como dicen las instrucciones y arqueros que atacan con dos dados cuando están cerca. Espero que lo solucionen pronto ### 1/5 — Spanish Audio *2025-04-16, version 5.1* Add the audio in Spanish, please ### 1/5 — Bug bug bug et encore bug *2025-02-09* Pourquoi après tant d’années il y a encore des bugs ? ### 1/5 — No audio files. *2025-01-04, version 4.3* Really not helpful ### 1/5 — Missing Jungles of Delthrak *2025-01-04, version 4.3* It has been out for ages but is missing from the app. Meanwhile First Light isn’t even out yet but THAT is in the app. What gives?! ### 1/5 — Add Jungles Of Delthrak *2025-01-02, version 4.3* It is odd that first light is available but not jungles of delthrak. Sad ### 1/5 — Impossible mai *2025-01-02* iPad iOS 12:impossible de mettre à jour l application, bloquée a 1.62 ### 1/5 — Buggy and now stuck *2024-12-14, version 4.2* I get to the end of the 4th character turn and tap end turn and get the confirm dialog. I confirm. The dialog doesn’t go away. I have to tap “no”, theoretically cancelling the end turn, but the turn IS ended. I then click Zargon’s turn and it goes along. Whatever. Now, I’m halfway through the quest and it will not let me proceed to Zargon’s turn. All the players’s turns are ended. But it won’t let me proceed. Tried exiting. Tried undoing the turn. It’s just stuck. ### 1/5 — 4 out of 5 Stars *2024-12-12* I’ll update my rating, but it seems that developers only noticed when they get a low rating. I like the app, it does what it’s intended to do. I’ve used this app every time I pull out HQ with the family, it allows me to join in on the fun. It is exceptional how they keep up with all the expansions (glad my pocketbook does as well). We have had so many hours of fun and it keeps game management at a decent level. I do have 1 issues. ***Please make the app available in Landscape Mode.*** I use this on my iPad (Magic Keyboard) and either have to remove the keyboard to lay the iPad down, turn the full iPad and keyboard on it’s side (standing up), but I would prefer to leave it on my keyboard, have the natural angle provided by the Magic Keyboard, without having to twist my neck around. Once again ***Please make the app available in Landscape Mode.*** ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — A Great Nostalgic App *2026-09-01, version 6.1* I’ve had this app for a few years now and love how it supports Solo Play of the HeroQuest game. It voice of Zargon and the atmospheric music sets the tone and the game play for marking the pieces on the board and tracking players and monsters is very helpful. I understand this app is more of a passionate project than a corporate app so hats off to the team for building and maintaining it. ### 5/5 — Erweiterungen *2026-08-09* Schön wäre, wenn Spieler ihre eigenen erfundenen Kampagnen zur Verfügung stellen könnten. ### 5/5 — Bon complément *2026-07-11* Je ne joue qu’avec mon fils et plutôt que d’être Zargon, je peux vivre l’aventure avec lui. De plus l’app fonctionne sur un vieille iPad ne prenant plus en charge les derniers iOS. C’est appréciable. Seul reproche, les voix en anglais mais ce n’est pas rédhibitoire pour nous. ### 5/5 — Use Zargon as a suggestion and revealing map DM to have best experience *2026-06-18, version 6.1* Amazing app and quality thats all free! I love the charm like the mark hamil like voice acting for slaying goblins and orcs and the setup for quest. To get the best experience from this app i would use zargon and app as a suggestion and not completely adhere to its restrictions for best gameflow. I love using this with a friend and letting zargon be ai so i can teach both sides of the board. Thank you Avalon and hasbro for the love put into this. I know plenty of people who are going to miss and miss out on this revitalized board game ### 5/5 — Replay with different dungeon layouts? *2026-05-24, version 6.1* It’s great app for when you wanna play with family and friends, and no one wants to be the bad guy. Future addition to app? would be a way to randomize the dungeon so you can replay with friends and family and try different characters and have a little bit of an element of surprise when you play it again. ### 5/5 — Awesomeness *2026-05-17, version 6.1* You barely need anything in the physical game to play ### 5/5 — New to HeroQuest *2026-04-13, version 6.1* I’ve never played this game before or any type of table top game with miniatures. I remember the commercials for this game when it came out “back in the day.” My friend got the game and we played it together with our wives😅 (just the 1st quest so far). It is really fun and this companion app is really cool and helps you along. Love the soundfx and music. I hope they continue supporting this but it looks like 2026 is the end of support. Hopefully we can still use the app in years to come. ### 5/5 — Couldn’t play without it *2026-03-15, version 6.1* As a family with littles who has moved out of state this app is the only reason I’ve been able to consistently barrel through content as a solo player in the rare free time I can muster. The app is generally solid and while there have been some bugs here and there it otherwise wouldn’t be possible for me to enjoy all the expansions the game has to offer so quickly without it. I hope the developers are allowed to or can respond on the best method for us avid players to submit bug reports and acknowledge their fixes in future updates, some are years old and we’ll annotated in the global HQ community. Beyond that, thank you for this and supporting and enabling my play one of my most cherished games. ### 5/5 — Excellent Addition *2026-01-12, version 6.1* This app works great as dungeon master so I can play as a hero with my kids. It’s well thought out, polished, and looks great. It makes us love Hero Quest even more. ### 5/5 — Bella idea ma… *2025-12-26, version 6.1* Bella idea, ma risulta macchinosa a svantaggio della esperienza di gioco. Il fatto che ogni movimento degli eroi debba essere tracciato sulla app, e che questa muova e tiri i dadi dei mostri, toglie focus e funzione al tabellone, se non quella estetica, e si potrebbe giocare benissimo senza, con solo i dadi, le schede personaggio e le carte. Un bellissimo gioco da tavolo sembra diventare un videogioco così così. Secondo me la app dovrebbe solo fare da funzione di rivelare a richiesta il contenuto di ogni stanza o porzione di corridoio - mostri porte e mobilio - e dotare di apposito bottone tipo vedi o cerca tesori/trappole/porte nascoste. Ed il gioco sul tavolo ne beneficierebbe. I turni degli eroi, gli incantesimi, i movimenti ed i combattimenti dei mostri possono essere benissimo gestiti dai giocatori. I mostri sarebbero obbligati a muoversi verso il più vicino eroe, e nel caso di più di uno, tirare il dado per vedere chi attaccano, così non vanno sempre contro il barbaro. In questo modo si ridarebbe focus e dignità al gioco da tavolo. Io e mio figlio ci ritroviamo a guardare solo l’iPad e a volte ci dimentichiamo pure di arredare o spostare miniature sul tabellone, e dopo un po’ non diverte più.
