### 5/5 — Super gemacht

*2026-05-20*

Sehr liebevoll gemachte Version des Brettspiels. Wenn beim Ernten von Holz zum Beispiel ein kleiner Fuchs durch den Wald läuft. Wir haben auch das Brettspiel, aber im Urlaub nimmt die digitale Version weniger Platz im Reisegepäck ein. Und wenn man nur zu zweit ist, kann man einfach den Computer 2 weitere Mitspieler übernehmen lassen.

### 4/5 — Really enjoy it but cannot win against AI

*2026-05-11*

I love Stone Age and was delighted when it was relaunched as an app. The graphics and animations are great and really add to the game. However, despite whatever strategy I use and whatever score I get (even 75+ more than AI) I cannot win. Is there a strategy/scoring rule I’m missing that means the computer wins even with a much lower score?

### 1/5 — This is not done well

*2025-12-30*

I’m not sure if the app maker did not get licensing rights from the board game but this sucks.  The art is not the same.  It’s clunky.

### 1/5 — Not the old app

*2025-08-09*

I had the original digital app of Stone Age and loved it; unfortunately the maker quit supporting it. I wanted to like this one, too, but it keeps freezing midway through so that I get no farther than “waiting for Maia” as Maia is supposedly collecting her workers.  What’s the point in playing a game that never lets you finish?  A waste of money!

### 2/5 — Disappointing

*2025-07-28*

This isn’t ready for prime time - there are visuals that are missing or shrunken at times (meeple is small/axe is not present) and only going to main menu and then going back to live game will they appear. Also, as mentioned before, AI rolls disproportionately high. I’ve seen two meeples produce 4 wood consecutive times. I wanted to like it but the first app was better.

### 3/5 — Une bonne application mais….

*2025-06-29*

Quelques améliorations seraient le bienvenu comme la possibilités de revoir les cartes acquises ainsi que les bâtiments. De plus pourquoi ne pas avoir repris les illustrations des cartes du jeu d’origine? L’IA même en niveau difficile fait des choix quelques fois curieux. De plus on a du mal à suivre les actions de l’IA. Une option pour valider le déclenchement des actions de chaque IA serait pratique. Cependant l’ensemble est de bonne facture pour se replonger dans ce classique de jeu de pose d’ouvrier….

### 2/5 — App needs work

*2025-01-09*

I used to play the previous app for the game and loved it so I was excited to see the game back in the App Store. The previous app was streamlined and easy to see. The app art here is great but so expansive that it can be hard to see for example the cost of the huts can be almost impossible to read. Ai grading is inelegant at best. Medium difficulty seems mostly to roll better. I’ve been playing for several days hoping to find ways around the app flaws but there are so many the game looses its playability.

**Developer response:** Hello LaloOwen! Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback with us. We truly value hearing from our players, as it helps us make the game even better.

Regarding the animations taking a bit longer and your screen dimming while waiting, you can actually skip active animations by pressing the Confirm Button during the animation.

We’ve also passed along your feedback to our development team for further discussion. If there’s anything else you’d like to discuss or suggest, feel free to reach out anytime! :)

### 2/5 — App needs work

*2024-12-31*

I used to play the previous app for the game and loved it so I was excited to see the game back in the App Store. The previous app was streamlined and easy to see. The app art here is great but so expansive that it can be hard to see for example the cost of the huts can be almost impossible to read. Animations take some long my screen starts to dim while waiting for them to finish. Unlike in the previous app you can’t tell when boats and huts are being used up limiting end game strategy. Ai grading is inelegant at best. Medium difficulty seems mostly to roll better. I’ve been playing for several days hoping to find ways around the app flaws but there are so many the game looses its playability.

### 5/5 — Fun and Relaxing

*2024-11-05*

So great to have Stone Age back on the iPad. The graphics are detailed and smooth. The background audio is great. Overall, the gameplay is slick and well worth it if you like the board game.

**Developer response:** Thank you for your feedback - it's great to hear that you're enjoying Stone Age: Digital Edition! 🍖

### 5/5 — Almost perfect but no turn notifications. *FIXED*

*2024-10-30*

Game looks & sound great. One of the easier to learn & play board games. However there is a very big flaw for anyone who wants to play online. When it’s your turn, there is no notification. I keep having to constantly check online through out the day to see if it’s my turn or not.  
EDIT: in the settings there is push notification option but when I try to select it, it gives error “unable connect to server”

EDIT: as of 10/12/24, notification bug was fixed. 5 stars!

**Developer response:** Hello! The issue has been resolved, and the bug fix is now in place. Everything should function smoothly, so please try again and let us know if it works as expected. :)
