Catan Universe for Positive User Reviews

Perfect solution for isolation from fellow CataniansAs more and more of my family and friends are exposed to Catan, it is becoming the perfect solution to playing together long distance. I really don’t have much else to say except it provides a near exact representation of the original game in a virtual format. However, note for the app developers, there have been a few coding changes over the past 6 months that I feel could be improved: For example: Incremental numbers that are added or subtracted, such as the number of cards or roads you have in your posession, are being calculated and displayed BEFORE the visual annimation of the cards or roads is being applied. Although this does not change the end result of the calculations, it does cause some visual confusion because it quickly calculates your numbers, and then you watch the cards come and go, but the numbers stay the same because they already changed. Is it possible to adjust the order of the coding to allow for the calculations to take place AFTER or more in SYNC with the visual animations?.Version: 2.2.1

Excellent game :)I am running on iphone 8 plus and looks great, plays very well. The AI is more realistic in this one and the dice algorithms seem more realistic. Also the visuals are impressive and moving the board around while finicky is excellent. The one thing i cannot workout is how to share it with my family. I make the majority of app purchases in the family and we have sharing on, but i can’t get a second device to access what i have already bought as additional apps, other apps allow me to restore purchases i can’t see it in this one... can you please advise if i need to buy all packs and expansions on each device?.Version: 1.7.0

Grata game butTiming out. Sometimes you’re just concentrating on playing and you get timed out. Was about to win twice and I’ve been kicked out. You should give us a notification saying are you here with another 15 sec timer on it. So frustrating!.Version: 2.2.8

Better than you thinkAfter seeing this game with only a two star rating I was worried about trying it but I did anyways. After downloading it I set up an account because why not...it was free. Even though I already knew how to play the base game Catan it put me through an tutorial which was helpful in the sense to figure out the controls of the app. After the quick tutorial I played a game against the AI and I had a lot of fun. I mean who doesn’t after they win. The game didn’t go easy nor did I feel like I was being teamed up on. It felt authentic and fair throughout. One of my favorite things about this version is that it keeps track of your wins and loses. It’s pretty sweet. You level up as you play and unlock different looks for your avatar and different virtual tables to play on. You can join up with friends and play that way, random matchmaking, or against the AI. Another thing to note is I had no issue logging in or setting up an account as others stated. It seems like the developer is working hard to keep the app up to date and I would hate to see this one die. I was very impressed and will update as I experience the app further..Version: 1.4.1

Great GamePlayed the board game with relatives on holiday and really enjoyed it. Found this version and can keep playing even when nobody else does! Works well and has very similar features to the board game. Great that you can play with others online in multiplayer mode as well as getting practice in with AI..Version: 2.2.5

Great game but not optimised for iPhone miniThe ui is too large for the iPhone 12 mini. Also sometimes text is clipped. Also I play against the ai and blue decided to build a settlement which broke my road, grey then had the longest road and went from 8->10 points and instantly won the game. Please improve the ai in this Regard as they’re on master difficulty..Version: 2.1.2

Amazing Game Must have appThis is a perfect replacement for on the go catan, I have hundreds of hours played into the game with my partner and will continue to play. Download asap! Hope the developers. Keep updating the game and bringing more things to the app.Version: 2.3.2

Catan AppLove that i can now have Catan on my phone so I can play wherever I go, overall a great app! Only minor critique here as a long term Catan player, the trade options are limited, like you can’t counter offer and that’s a pretty big oversight, you also can’t offer trades to players when it is not your turn, also would be nice if there were pre set dialogues that you can use like Catan online used to have, and the messaging option is only accessible by going into a screen separate from the view of the board, maybe that’s not a big deal to some but it would be helpful to see the chat on the board screen, and last, my only big gripe with the app is the obnoxious angles, I often get stuck at a really awkward viewing angle and I still sometimes can’t get it to show a top view of the board, I mean it’s kind of cool the board view is interactive but it really is more of an annoying feature, if they could add some controls to the view that would be great or just eliminate it altogether, anyways it’s cheap so can’t really say it’s a bad app just needs a few renovations and it will be supreme!.Version: 1.4.5

LOVE this game, but app glitchesAbsolutely love love love this game and app version, but it’s SO frustrating when it glitches! For example, in cities and knights, not letting me purchase a city upgrade when I have the available commodities! This is especially upsetting because i spent money to buy the expansion! Not cool, please fix! ❤️.Version: 1.8.9

Love the game, always play it but these login issuesLove the game, easy to play, cheap and got nice UI, but every time there is an update you have to restart login and half of the time, there is an issue. Really makes you reconsider your will to update. Apart from that, I would love a 6 players option but I think it would be a challenge !!.Version: 2.0.1

New version keeps crashingI love this game!! But after updating to version 2:0 it shuts down after about 1min I’m on an iPad Air, IOS 12.4.6.Version: 2.0

Fantastic game except the connectivityI absolutely love this app and play it probably more than I should. Like other reviewers I have had multiple issues with timeouts/no internet messages/ game stuck on other players all of these end up needing to quit game and start a new one impacting your kharma score or all other players disappearing when you’re in the middle of a great game - highly frustrating either way. For me this has just become part of the norm and I shall continue to play but it would be great if this could be fixed with it impacting so many users. Please!.Version: 1.7.1

Love it but , expansions need some upgradesI love the visual representation of the game. It’s fun and addictive! Lots of great options for play. Good graphics. Some things take a bit to figure out because there no directions on them but if you know the. Base game it’s fairly easy to figure out. The base game works pretty well the only thing I would suggest is being able to kick out those with weak connections or have the kick timer at 30 seconds and a limit on how many times it can get activated. Additionally, when playing ( and I love that you can live play against others and also just vs AI ) but against AI two will steal from you even when you have less points than both of the Ai’s. I would also like to undo selections when discarding cards. Sometimes I hit the wrong cards and you can’t undo your selections. I would like to see the bugs with cities and knights fixed. I love that game but my settlements will disappear. Lately it will crash my city when the barbarians strike even though I have an active knight to cover it. Sometime it will roll. Resource I’m on but not give me the card. I also had one game where the 7 was rolled 28xs.. need a cap on that, it was like 3x any other number. I would also like to be able to pause or recall when my cards get stolen or another player does something that effects my hand so I can see what was lost. It will go so fast I don’t even know it’s gone. Overall I really love the games and the Ap! I play it all the time..Version: 1.7.4

Amazing game, app could use a little workCatan is obviously an incredible game, and I have a ton of fun playing it in this app. Really great being able to play with friends, being able to send messages back and forth etc. The reason I am not giving this 5 stars is because the app itself could use a little bit of work. For example, I am on an iPhone XR. A lot of times when I click to see info on something, the text window that pops up has a portion off screen, which makes it unreadable. It is quite frustrating sometimes when I need to be able to read something and can’t. I payed the 5 dollars for the app, and I would be willing to bet many other people have too. Some of that money should be used to pay a programmer to fix these issues. It would not be difficult and I would be more than happy to fix it for free just to get it done. Other than that, I’m very happy with the purchase..Version: 2.2.8

Please add these features:Love the game! Very well done! To any developer reading this, I would like to make a few requests: please add another expansion (I would pay another $5 for easily) that adds another ring of resource tiles around the basic game board. Just like the expansion for the board game in real life. That way the play can edit the basic game to have more players, victory points needed to win, more trading ports, and development cards into the pool. Also please add support for Co-Op for two players using the same device in a game. Possibly even up to 4 players on one device? I would also like the ability to play with only 1 other CP in singleplayer mode instead of requiring 3-4 players. There is also a bug that has happened quite often where the check mark does not work in trades with CP’s and forgoes the trade no matter if you click on the red X or the green check mark. The bug also does not allow you to properly re-negotiation the trade with CP’s. Last but not least I would like more edit features when generating the world map instead of only having a few preset “scenarios” to pick from with their own hidden list of possible resource hexes. Thank you for reading and I would love your feedback!.Version: 2.0

Tutorials don’t loadWhen I try to do the seafarers or cities & knights tutorials I just get stuck on a losing screen that never loads. The rest of the game is fun but I’d love to do the tutorial (which the game recommends) before jumping into the game mode which I have to play to unlock single player..Version: 1.8.5

I love this app but...Creators of this app, me and my friends love this game, we all bought it and we play it almost daily, but PLEASE fix the bugs. The game crashes almost every day, it either stops working or it freezes, and when we tried to re-enter most of the time it doesn't rejoin the game which is really annoying. Please fix these things!!!.Version: 2.0.1

Great game and well integrated, though expansion tutorials are needed.The game is a great adaptation of the classic strategy board game. However, the tutorial introduces you to many different expansion themed game modes. While these are great when explained (Seafarers for example), the rest have minimal to no tutorial. The gamemode involving upgrading your cities in terms of politics and science offers no explanation as to how to get the resources required to do that or what happens if you can’t defeat the pirates. Even worse, the Rivals of Catan tutorial prompt says “Let me show you the two person card game, Rivals of Catan.” Then, with no explanation, it just throws you into the middle of the game and offers no information as to how this (only slightly similar to the board game) version is even played. It just keeps expecting you to know what to do with no prompt like the prior tutorials had. As for everything else game related, the app is incredible. No bugs. No glitches. Very well integrated and very well explained. Easy to play with friends. All that is necessary is some explanation for the new game modes introduced before just throwing them into the players’ faces..Version: 1.7.3

👍What is not to love. Love my board games and with this pandemic, unable to catch up with friends for our monthly games night. Found this game and now can play online against my friends and others instead. The game is awesome.Version: 1.8.8

King card cannot be placedUpdate: the issue with the king card was resolved the game still needs to be simplified with the controls but none the less it’s a great game with developers who are making consistent adjustments and updates. I highly recommend! The game is good until it comes time to place the king card once that happens when you click it your finger is able to drag it around the screen but it won’t place, when you remove your finger from the screen the king card goes back into your deck. They need to just make it a button to press verses dragging it it’s to complex and needs to be simplified. If this gets fixed then honestly the game would be worth 5 stars but it ruins the game play entirely so it’s my ranking is 3 stars until this problem is fixed. I did look online but could not find anyway to place the king card so I’m really hoping for an update that addresses this issue. It’s a game with great potential!.Version: 2.3.2

More playersI love this game just get annoyed waiting to find people to play online with. It runs fine for me and can’t fault the app.Version: 1.5.1

Great!But wish it would have a score summary. Sometimes the game ends and you can’t work out what they did to score the required points. There is a totals screen but that just shows road length, knight attacks and total points. So you have to add up cities and special harbour points or which ever yourself. 😖.Version: 2.1.2

Tweaks that would helpI do really enjoy playing this: it is my go to relaxation app, but as I play it on the phone , I find it quite frustrating that the contrast between player colours and scores are so poor. It makes it really hard to keep Track of everyone’s progress if you have to keep ducking out of the game to check on scores in the details! Also, purple and brown, and pink and red are scarcely able to be distinguished- so I’ve taken to aborting a game where those colours come up together - I just can’t tell the difference between them unless I really zoom in! Just altering the intensity/ shade of the colours so they are less similar, and adding a contrast colour for the scores ( white would probably work best on most colours, rather than black or a deeper self colour as seems to be the case at present! ) would be a simple fix to improve the game! Thanks in advance!.Version: 2.3.2

AddictiveFantastic game - long enough to develop strategy short enough for when those strategies don’t work.Version: 2.2.8

Unstable since May 2023Catan has recently become quite unstable. It goes into spinning wheel and times out regularly. It seems to be an issue at the app end, but for what it’s worth I’m using an iPhone 6s with iOS 16..Version: 2.3.2

Server needs an updateGreat game, just like the board. AI are a bit simple always plenty on people on to play. Problem is the servers though. Too often there are issues with connection dropping out or lags. Need to pay for the expansions, but it’s hell of a lot cheaper than the real board game..Version: 1.7.1

Love thisEnjoy playing against the game as well as with family and friends! It particularly great to have them on speaker while we play - brings everyone closer..Version: 2.2.9

Super fun, good rendition of the board game, but there are some quirksThis is really enjoyable and you don’t have to pay anything to be able to play and experience all the types (you only get to play the expansions once if you don’t pay for them, but at least you can “test drive them”). The tutorials are good with one exception; the one-on-one tutorial is almost non-existent. Lastly, for some reason, on this game, you can build between someone else’s roads. It was my understanding that you could not do this on the board game, but you can here. All in all, this is a well done app that you can play with family and friends who have their own account. Oh yeah, to be able to play, you don’t have to pay but you do need to set up an account to play with others. Happy Settling!!.Version: 2.2.4

Great game when it works, but buggyMy wife and I are both really enjoying this game, but every so often it goes through a period of bugginess. Often this means losing contact with the server (I think) which means that you might be in the middle of a game and then that game is lost. So two or three or four people‘s time is wasted. Unfortunately, with the new update to Catan Universe 2.01, you cannot even login any more. How is that possible? Surely this has been tested before release. Or is it amateur hour for the Catan Universe developers? We both play on iPads with the latest operating system as of November 2020..Version: 2.0.1

Technical Issues in multiplayer modeLove the game! Especially the physical board, since we want to play at the comfort of our own home, we got this game. However, the game seems to have server issue 1) Input Syntax troubleshoot: while trying to invite friends 2) The game keeps on lagging and failed to reconnect at time. I assume its the server issue. It would be great if this was fixed :).Version: 2.3.4

BE CAREFUL! (Updated)Update1: Well, once we’ve recovered the option of resetting the password, I really enjoy the game. Will leave it at 4 stars right now. Expensive in app purchases. I bought one of the expansions because that’s the only way of playing against computer generated characters. If not you have to play against human opponents and some times that’s not convenient (wanting to be able to pause the game half way through, for example). Well, after a couple of days, the app asked me for my password. Of course, I didn’t remember and I still don’t remember. I use 1Password and Apple own password storing “app”, but I didn’t this time. Anyway I had seen that they had the option and assumed that I could always reset my password. WRONG!!! They have the option, but it doesn’t work. I wrote to their support email and they told me that the reset password option doesn’t work and there’s nothing they can do. So long story short I just lost $10 and they’re not willing to give me any solution. I find terrible that an app that asks you to pay for some of its “services” in 2018, doesn’t have a functioning option to reset your password or something similar. Yes, I know I should remember my password and that’s my bad, but every other app with the need of a password has a reset password option that actually works. That’s why they ask for your email and a bunch of other info..Version: 1.5.1
