2024-09-03	Paul Sharpe	Almost held back due to negative reviews. Have just bought and played one game against AI. Works absolutely fine on Poco F6 (Android 14) and Xiaomi Pad 5 (Android 13). Need to tighten up on learning the rules next and maximising scoring. Great game by Alexander Pfister.
2024-07-31	Home Improvement Delaware LLC	Was hesitant to purchase this app after reading the reviews yet decided to take a chance and am so glad that i did. It's an outstanding rendition of the board game and is very fun. It's working nicely without any problems. The tutorial was easy to understand and after learning how to play i completed my first round against three AI. There's a lot of depth to the strategic elements and the variety of tiles ensures maximum replayability. Am looking forward to enjoying Isle of Skye for a long time.
2024-06-20	Hewy Li	Game rating: I like the base game, and it will always get 5/5 from me. App rating: App contains various bugs, such as locking up after placing tiles, tiles getting duplicatedand preventing "end turn", not being able to place or rotate tiles. Not all could be fixed by going back to the menu and reentering the game, ending games prematurely. In the menu/lobby, a login popup can get stuck. Overall the app feels buggy and unpolished.
2023-05-25	Kevin Bhieey	Avoid like the plague!! Does not work. Nobody seems interested in fixing it. Twin Sails (aka Asmodee) has always had buggy apps - Takenoko, Ticket to Ride, Zombicide, etc - but after they destroyed Pandemic, and then removed it instead of just putting it back in the form that actually worked, I will never buy another of their games. I suggest you don't either.
2023-01-22	David Johnston	The game is very good and highly addictive. Some minor glitching errors which occasionally mean restarting the app. Could do with a speed up option when distributing coins/tallying points. All in all a good app and a great game.
2021-10-03	Emily Birrell	Asked for a refund after attempting to play two games. My partner and I love pass and play games and were surprised that this app wasn't on a list of the best to play after playing the boardgame version last night. I can see why now as we could not complete a game without bugs interfering. Real pity as enjoyed playing it on a board a lot!
2021-05-09	Frank Garriel	It's a good enough representation of the game and enjoyable to play. Mostly, I miss playing with friends, but this is a good time killer without a lot of commitment. It's a little cramped on a phone, but the UI keeps the important information visible. Definitely worth the $0.99. Edit: 4 stars. There are a few bugs that take away from fun. First, the "shuffle" option on always has me play first. It does nothing. Second, sometimes after laying tiles, the game will not go to next phase.
2020-06-19	Jenő Szabó	The original game is great. I would like this implementation in general, but the UI can freeze easily, and then the whole game is lost. Update: the UI can be sped up in the settings, that would make the game better, but it freezes even more. Decrease stars for the missing fixing efforts.
2020-04-20	A Google user	Isle of Skye board game is magnificent!! But this mobile expirience is poor. UI is done totally without any effort.. You misclick and You cannot get back to the game again. No labels for the buttons.. "We made it. If You can play we don't care.." AI also. Even the hard setting is too easy.. In the time of AlphaGO you cannot make AI for your game??! Pathetic effort.
2020-03-31	A Google user	Although I am enjoying getting to play one of my favorite games, I just realized that the victory point count is incorrect. I just played a game in which I got zero victory points for the tile that counts 2 VPs per cattle. I got cattle in my clan early on and ended the game with 3 cattle. Upon review of my game score, I did not receive a single victory point for any of my cattle. The fact that I paid anything for this game and it has simple problems like this isn't okay.
