I love Catan, so I have a bias to be positive. I downloaded it on my subway commute. It didn't allow me to register at that time, so I went ahead and purchased enough coins for the game and expansions. When I finally did register, it created a completely separate account, so I had to repurchase. Also, my suns never work, the music still plays when the slider is at zero, and sometimes there's a glitch that shows more resources than I actually have.

Edit 11/30/24: It had been working okay enough for so long but now too buggy to work again. It says I'm in a game when I'm not and none of the usual fixes (like starting a solo game and quitting, or closing the app and restarting) are working. Edit: Yes, it's buggy, but it's a great game. I dont live at home but this way I play with my parents regularly. Previously: I've been playing every other day for years now and love it but as of today the game keeps freezing.

Years of multitudes UX issues for a paid version. Currently having issues with the game accepting my town placement to start the game... Last 5 games I've had to leave before placing a settlement because the game won't let me... This app has flashes of greatness, then continues to be sub par. I've given this app so many chances, but I'm done. Really wanted to love this app.
