| 2022-07-24 |  | | I love this app! Use it all the time when playing Catan, makes random setups a breeze. |
| 2022-01-11 |  | | This app wasn't as good as it could be it glitches and you kinda need to get the paid version if you want access to the seafarers features. |
| 2021-08-05 |  | | Such a great app for all game modes. You can track dice too. Everything that I'm looking for in an app. |
| 2021-02-13 |  | | Very good board generator. -1 star due to just maps having to be bought and the tips say wealthy in zones that arent wealthy. Such as a 8/6/4 IS Wealthy while a 2/4 is not wealthy. |
| 2021-01-02 |  | | I have been playing 3-6 person Settlers for the past 2 decades and using Better Settlers for the past 5 years or so. Prior to using this app, 1 or 2 people would always crush everyone else even though we would try to make the board fair. Now, the game always has most people within reach of winning at the end making for a much more fun game. I never set up my games without using this app anymore. The app has not been updated in a while but still works for me. I use on Android. Interface is fine. |
| 2020-06-21 |  | | Have to pay to get different expansion generators. The free version made by another company is much better. |
| 2020-05-10 |  | | Takes a bit getting used to finding and moving the finer map options, but this has been a good map generator for quite some time and I use it often with my playgroup. Would seriously recommend to those looking to get more out of catan |
| 2020-03-28 |  | | This is for setting up the physical board. I use it since years. What I miss is a separation of the edge pieces, like a 3 edge piece or 1 expansion length, 2, or the seafahrer expansion corner. And also the use of the edge harbors. Sometimes the setup isn't possible with the edge pieces. |
| 2020-02-11 | | | Amazing way for learning players to make the strongest openings in a game of Settlers of Catan. I've seen a drastic improvement in my play since using regularly. |
| 2019-11-11 | | | Haven't tried it in the field yet. However, I already feel I'm missing a "hide probabilities" button, to set up the tiles first, then reveal the probabilities. Right now I'm able to work this around with shuffling the probabilities after setting up the tiles. |
