| 2024-12-10 |  | | 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. |
| 2024-12-01 |  | | 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. |
| 2024-11-27 |  | | 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. |
| 2024-11-26 |  | | "Trying to find running game" error keeps popping up when trying to start a game vs computer players, and it won't let me play a game, after I had just completed a game. Doesn't matter whether you choose the base game or one of the expansions. It won't allow loading bar or anything. It's broken. I know that Uninstaller and reinstalling fixes it, but then I lose any scenario games I hadn't finished yet. |
| 2024-11-19 |  | | Want to love this game, but it stops working all the time. It used to be decent but now it goes weeks without working. I mainly play single player with ai, there is no need for a server, yet it gets stuck trying to find one. Update. Still isn't working. Get a message that another players connection was lost... I'm trying to play a single game with ai, that should be offline. Tried multi-player and pressing the auto match button does nothing |
| 2024-11-15 |  | | The app simply doesn't work. You can play by yourself against "AI" opponents who are absolutely terrible, rendering the game very boring. You can play against "friends" which works sometimes so long as the app functions normally for everyone in your friends group. But don't try to play against real people online! The app stops responding and simply doesn't work. Horrendous. They have updated the app at least 10 times since I first downloaded. It doesn't work any better now than it ever did. |
| 2024-11-02 |  | | The AI is really, really dumb. Good thing is it's free to try out. I can't imagine sticking with this long enough for any amount money to be worth it. Will update my review if I change my mind. Also the screen usage is really inefficient on a phone, so you have to swipe around a lot. It looks really nice tho. |
| 2024-10-30 |  | | Update: Now it's not playable at all. Used to like playing this game but the multiplayer feature has become really annoying. Many games I will try to place my settlement and nothing happens. Other games when a player is replaced by a computer they will continually offer the same trade whether you accept or deny. |
| 2024-10-29 |  | | I do enjoy this game itself. The AI computer is really smart and challenging despite how impatient they are. My gripe is that I paid for the base game, and it couldn't "find running game." I tried Uninstalling and reinstalling, but now it won't even load me in. It has lost ALL of my progress AND my purchases. I hope it's just a temporary glitch cause I will not be playing if the stuff I paid for is not there anymore. So far contacting support hasn't been a help. |
| 2024-10-29 |  | | This is a fun game. I'm dealing with a couple problems though. After playing a round or two, the game will be unable to connect saying "finding running game" I figured out if I reinstall the game it fixes it, very inconvenient. Also the lack of pass and play is disappointing too. |
