SettlerStats is the perfect companion app for the board game "The Settlers of Catan" – and the only Catan app that supports real Bluetooth dice. With support for GoDice™ Bluetooth dice by Particula, you'll experience Catan like never before: roll your real dice – the app detects the results automatically and the rest happens almost like magic. Of course, you can also roll virtually the classic way by simply tapping the screen. Your choice! SettlerStats turns your iPhone or iPad into a powerful statistics tool and a smart dice replacement – for a more exciting, fair, and entertaining gaming experience. All the important data from your game can be tracked in real time and analyzed in detail after the game. What makes SettlerStats special: • GoDice™ Bluetooth Dice – As the only Catan app, SettlerStats supports the real Bluetooth dice by Particula. Roll, and the app takes care of the rest. • Resource Sounds – Hear wood being sawed, sheep bleating in the fields, or the barbarians launching their attack. No robbery and no barbarian attack will ever go unnoticed again. • Live Statistics – Dice statistics, game progress, resource yields, barbarian attacks, and robberies – all at a glance. • Hall of Fame – Immortalize every victory with full statistics and find out who is the long-time Catan champion of your group. (Premium feature, one-time unlock – no subscription) • Deep Game Analysis – Was it fair dice or pure luck? Every game gets a weather-based fairness rating (dice roll luck) — from sunny skies to a full tornado.Works for all your previously saved games too. Plus resource production timeline, resource drought tracker, and game phase breakdown. (Premium) • Lightning-Fast Setup – Ready to play in 30 seconds. Supports the Base Edition as well as Cities & Knights, and with limitations also other expansions such as Seafarers. • Up to 6 Players – Track victory points, compare game progress, and analyze the game together afterwards. SettlerStats is an unofficial product and is not affiliated with Catan GmbH, the rights holders of "The Settlers of Catan", or Particula Ltd., the manufacturer of GoDice™ Bluetooth dice. For any questions or issues regarding SettlerStats, please contact the app developer directly – do not contact Particula Ltd. Particula Ltd. does not provide support for SettlerStats. A big thank you to my son and coding partner Christoph, whose board generator and many other great ideas contributed significantly to the app. And to my loyal Catan crew – Katrin, Martina, Stefan, Sophie, and Christoph – who always provided the first feedback. Thank you all!
