Why abandon such a good game?? I found one bug with the game. Sometimes, my tile duplicates and the game forces me to place thr duplicate tile somewhere new, once the tile is dropped on the map, you wont be able to move it and if you dropped it nowhere (not connected to tile in the map, just an unconnected space) it will stay there and you will have to restart the game because that forces me not to complete my action as one my tile is still stuck in the move. Hard to explain this but this happened to at least five times now. Doesnt happen in every game. Also, I recommend adding some expansions to this game. ### 2/5 — Can only play local *2025-05-02, version 14.2* Can’t update my user name to play with friends. ### 4/5 — Great game but serious problem in digital port *2024-03-29* I love the game and the digital port is very good but there’s a serious issue with the digital implementation of the rules. It seems you can currently purchase 1 tile from another player. Where I believe you should go back and forth purchasing one or more tiles until everyone passes. ### 3/5 — Probleme nach dem Update *2024-02-15* Leider stürzt dieses eigentlich tolle Spiel seit dem letzten Update jedesmal ab. ### 2/5 — Hangs multiple times per game *2024-01-03, version 13.0* Restarting where you left off isn’t bad. Takes 3 button clicks. But it hangs 1-2 times per game. Obviously not being maintained. Otherwise it is a good implementation. ### 2/5 — Works, sort of . . . *2022-11-18* There are a few bugs and glitches. This game hasn't been updated in years. It's pretty much abandonware at this point, so nothing is getting fixed anymore. The glitches and bugs don't bother me as much, nor the slow gameplay. What annoys me the most is the game A.I. Online multiplayer is pretty much not an option, being messy and hard to find a steady game. So I play offline. Easy and medium A.I. are brain dead, so I play against hard. Now this is where I have the problems . First is the A.I. is not trying to win, but make you lose. They will work together to screw you. An example that has happened a few time is I've set my tiles at a high price that none of the A.I. can buy, so the first two A.I. will buy useless tiles from the second two, which allows the second two buy both my tiles. My second problem is the tiles seem to favor the A.I. more. Tiles the A.I. needs have a higher frequency of appearance, while tiles you need have a lower chance of appearing. I don't know if this is real, but it has happened in the majority of games I've played. ### 3/5 — Great game; buggy implementation *2022-08-28, version 13.0* I love the board game version of Isle of Skye. The interface and AI for the app are well done. However, about 1 in 4 games lock up and have to be aborted. That is frustrating. ### 4/5 — Enjoyable *2022-08-03* I enjoy the game in physical form so gave it a try. It’s equally enjoyable in digital form. The AI cheats, though, and gives itself double points sometimes on the scrolls. Watch out for that… ### 2/5 — So Darn Buggy *2022-02-17* It's a fun game, but the developer hasn't bothered to publish any bug fixes in 3 years, despite clear, easily reproducable issues with the app locking up frequently. ### 3/5 — Trop souvent de bugs *2021-03-18* Ce jeu est génial mais des bugs viennent trop souvent gâcher nos parties... c’est vraiment dommage... ### 3/5 — Fun, can't get friends list *2021-02-25* I play other Asmodee games with my friends often. Isle of Skye tells me I am logged in as Purple Skates when it opens. When I try to play with friends it tells me to enter my email or user name. I try each, but neither works. It just freezes at that point. It Never asked for a passeord or does anything else. I just downloaded this game and learned it to increase my social joy durring the pandemic. I enjoy the game. I really want it to work. Please. Help. ### 2/5 — Jeu mal finalisé *2020-12-30* Le jeu plante beaucoup trop souvent au beau milieu d’une partie. ### 1/5 — Terrible *2020-09-26* This would be bad for a beta test version but inexcusable for a finished product. Played 4 games Every game the first buying round hid prices for first player choosing tiles. Twice game froze and couldn’t restart. Bots turns take ages and often crash game. I love and own the real life version of this but this is terrible. Loads of other better ported games out their like Agricola and Carcassonne. AVOID! ### 1/5 — Not at all what I was looking for. *2020-08-24, version 13.0* Can not play games against AI. Can not even find online games available. Forces me to continually sign in. Game continually gets frozen in opening screen. I’ve never wanted my money back more. This game is completely useless with these issues. ### 4/5 — Great on line game. *2020-08-18* If I had read previous reviews I might have thought twice about buying this, so glad I didn’t. I’ve not encountered any bugs whilst playing against human opponents on line. I took a chance as I had not played the board game before but I will be looking out for it if I ever get to go to another convention. ### 2/5 — Great game, buggy app *2020-07-24, version 13.0* I would definitely rate this higher but the game continuously freezes when playing against ai. Besides that, the point scoring for each round moves very slowly. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Abstürze vorprogrammiert!!! *2023-03-22* Das Spiel das am zuverlässigsten während einer Partie abgestürzt ist. Am meisten beim pass and play. Schade das man dafür Geld bezahlt hat. ### 1/5 — 2 Minuten gespielt und schon einen bug gefunden, der das Spiel kaputt macht: *2022-12-28* Habe es mehrmals geschafft, Karten zu legen, die gar nicht passen. Straße an Wiese z.B. Optisch hätte es durch drehen des Plättchens passende Positionen gegeben, aber es ließ sich nicht auf passende Positionen drehen. Ich habe davon einen Screenie gemacht. Wer will kannns gerne haben und es sich selbst angucken… @ Entwickler? ### 1/5 — Freeze issues *2022-12-06, version 13.0* Games “freezes / locks up” mid play large majority of the time. Very frustrating ### 1/5 — Pass and play broken *2022-07-03, version 13.0* Game freezes on pass and play every time. Unplayable. Scam. ### 1/5 — Utterly Useless and Ignored *2022-04-25, version 13.0* Our family plays the tabletop version of this game so I bought the app for our 11 year old, BUT it has an inexplicable age rating of 12 on it, which means my 11 year old can’t play it as we have parental controls turned on. My issue with this is that there’s ZERO REASON for this age rating, as there’s nothing difficult or inappropriate about the game, especially when other vastly more complex Asmodee games, like Terraforming Mars and Scythe, have an age rating of 4 and 9 years old - I know adults who struggle with those two! All the developers have to do to fix this is change the age rating to something sensible but I’ve written to Asmodee 6 times and have been completely ignored. ### 1/5 — Freez and bug *2021-12-07* App freezes after a bug in a very first game! I had to trust the reviews before buying ### 1/5 — Impossible de glisser / déposer une tuile *2021-10-09* Lors de la phase d’achat d’une tuile, celle que je souhaite acheter est sélectionnable le mais ne veut pas se placer sur mon territoire. Dommage, sinon l’adaptation numérique parait jouable ### 1/5 — BUG *2021-08-13* C’est vraiment dommage, le jeu original est super, mais l’application a trop de bugs on ne peut pas finir une partie. Très vite ça bug au moment d’acheter ou de poser des tuiles. Et les illustrations de personnages ne correspondent pas. La dernière update date d’il y a 2 ans. ASMODEE qu’attendez-vous? ### 1/5 — Broken now with the iOS 14 update. *2020-11-27, version 13.0* Was working fine, now picking casual game or running games, after the asmodee account login it goes to a popup that says “Login with Game Center” that I can’t get past. Can’t either create or join a game anymore. Useless. ### 1/5 — Unplayable *2020-11-06, version 13.0* I am seeing loading screens and cannot even a start a game. Unplayable in its current form. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — 14.2版玩起來挺順暢的 *2025-02-24, version 14.2* 跟AI玩了幾場都沒什麼問題。還沒跟線上真人玩過。 ### 5/5 — Expansions? *2024-03-05* Gimme expansions please. ### 5/5 — Aucun Bug pour ma part *2020-07-24* Je mets rarement des avis, mais là je ne comprends pas la note pour bug. Pour ma part tout fonctionne normalement, et ayant fait l’acquisition du jeu physique récemment, j’aime beaucoup l’adaptation IOS. Juste les scores et résultats finaux ne sont pas très clair. ### 5/5 — Excellent strategy game *2020-06-29* I really enjoy the challenge of beating the hard level AI in this game. Every game is different, music is great, graphics are good and I can imagine it would play really well with other people! Does freeze occasionally- only when I rush the placement of tiles, so no real bother now. ### 5/5 — Isle of Skye *2019-10-14* Great adaptation of the board game. However it does tend to freeze. One common problem is when placing your tiles - sometimes it won’t let you finish your move. I’ve reinstalled it a half dozen times this week alone. ### 5/5 — Excellent digital Port *2019-10-03* This is a another great board game port by Digidiced, I own the board game, and was very happy to see how well the app plays, you can speed the game up to play fast when you get the hang of how to play, the AI is solid and puts up a good challenge on hard, the game plays well on my iPhone X max phone and iPad , if you enjoy board games I highly recommend giving this game a try. ### 5/5 — Active community of skilled players *2019-09-23* I have played 64 multiplayer games of Isle of Skye on this app in the last 9 months against players from around the world. I really enjoy the skilled competitive games and the ranking system. I have only encountered occasional problems with the app that are usually solved by restarting and logging in again. ### 5/5 — Возможно баг. *2019-03-02* Не работает рандомайзинг тайлов заданий. Постоянно выдаёт один и тот же сет: туры, овцы, деньги, горы. Вообщем Хорошая реализация. Всё починили, отличная игра! ### 5/5 — Klasse Umsetzung des Brettspiels *2019-01-01* Die Umsetzung des Brettspiels ist absolut gelungen, und die Möglichkeit mit Freunden oder künstlicher Intelligenz zu spielen ist toll. Spiele es schon eine Weile und hatte keine erkennbaren Fehler. ### 5/5 — Very good game. *2018-12-23* I have enjoyed Carcassonne as a game so thought this would be similar so gave it a go. It is not similar it is better. The scoring dinamic is excellent and the way it has been developed to IOS is also very good. I have just read the other reviews and feel them to be overly critical. If you like playing board games that make you think the this is a goes. Well done! --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
