Suddenly interfering with Bluetooth!
iPhone app now interferes with anything playing through Bluetooth. Maybe a bug introduced with the last update? My iPhone 17 pro is up to date. Deleted app and reinstalled but the problem remains. I’ll change the review when app is usable again.

Hi, sorry you ran into an audio issue with the latest version! Thanks for letting us know. We just pushed a new version v1.3.5 that includes some changes to the audio system. Could you let me know if this solves your issue? If not, we'll continue to look for the root cause here.
Not so good
But the game is too random. You need just the right tiles at the just right time to make everything work. You might get one when you need it. But you probably won’t.
And if you do get a bad tile - one with a weird, unplaceable shape - you are penalized even further when you pass on it. Why?
When I do win, I feel more lucky than clever.
This game is more frustrating than fun.

Oh, and one more thing. In some scenarios you cannot pass a church tile.
So if you get a church tile and cannot place it, too bad. Your game is over. Why add that aggravation?

Hi Zachary, thanks for the updated feedback, hopefully the UX issues have been addressed by v1.3.5. I also understand that the game can be pretty tricky and unforgiving. Please keep in mind however that this is an adaptation of an existing board game - it is not possible for us to modify any actual game mechanics, and we implemented everything as-is in the board game! ORIGINAL RESPONSE: Hi Zachary, thanks so much for your review! I'm sorry you ran into some UX issues in the app. At the moment we only support the portrait orientation to simplify the implementation, but we'll keep an eye out for more feedback like this. As for entering your name for a randomized game - this appears to be a bug that allows you to change your name in Random mode when you have an online account. The intended way to change your name when you are logged in is to do Main Menu -> Profile (top left) -> Manage Account. Hope that helps, thank you!
