Wingspan: The Board Game for Positive User Reviews
✓ Wonderful game, wish app didn’t crash so muchThis game, and more specifically the game in this app, has brought me so much peace and joy for the past few years. I prefer it to the actual board game and can play for hours just against AI. The app occasionally crashes on my iPad, but not frequently enough to be frustrating. So, I was very excited to purchase the Oceania expansion this month (December 2023). Unfortunately, with it, the crashing problem has increased. It crashes on me at least once per custom game. It could very well be my iPad, but either way, I’m heartbroken. I still highly recommend the app, just be wary if you have an older device!.Version: 1.5.732
✓ Please release OceaniaPlease release Oceania.Version: 1.4.691
✓ Fixed iPad crashingThank you for fixing crashing issue on iPad, back to 5 stars!.Version: 1.3.630
✓ Excellente adaptation du jeux de plateauUn des plus beaux jeux de société sur mobile. Pleins de sons d’oiseaux et d’informations pratiques..Version: 1.3.653
✓ Favorite iOS Game.I can't express how much I love this game! From the stunning graphics to the addictive gameplay, it's an absolute gem in the App Store. The attention to detail is incredible, and the controls are so intuitive that anyone can pick it up and play. I've spent countless hours immersed in this world, and I'm still discovering new things to enjoy. The developers clearly put a lot of love and effort into crafting this masterpiece, and it truly shows. It's not just a game; it's an experience. Thank you for creating such a fantastic iOS game!.Version: 1.4.682
✓ Wing spanI love it,but would really love to see the Oceania upgrade on line.Version: 1.4.682
✓ WonderfulEasily the best game available on IOS, and somehow it’s educational too..Version: 1.4.691
✓ Great purchaseThis app is amazing! I’ve gotten 3 friends to buy it, and I always have a game going with them. I initially got into wingspan over a year ago after buying the physical board game, and I’ve been generally impressed with how well the developers made it into a mobile game (despite the occasional bug here and there). I do have one suggestion, however: I am a huge fan of bonus cards, and it seems like there are a few from the base game that are missing in the app. These include cartographer, photographer, historian, and anatomist. Adding these to the app would make it all the more enjoyable!.Version: 1.1.319
✓ Fun game, pretty app, annoying bugs.A great looking conversion of the board game that plays quite nicely. There’s a very annoying bug where the green ‘accept’ arrow button doesn’t appear after making a decision on my Pro 10.5. The only way to fix it is to completely restart the app. Sloppy really. Would be an easy 5* otherwise..Version: 1.1.296
✓ Brilliant executionThis is the best digital adaptation of a board game I’ve ever encountered. It even gets the feel of the game right with its soundtrack and visual elements. The interface is pretty straightforward and intuitive; it only took me one play through to get the hang of where everything was even after skipping the tutorial..Version: 1.4.691
✓ Complex but worth itI’d never played Wingspan before but thought the digital version might be easier than the long instructions book in the board game. Glad I did. The tutorial helped though it could be better. Needs more Object of the Game and details about the phases and choices of a turn. This game is great but complicated. Seems like great value for cost..Version: 1.5.757
✓ Superb gameThis is how it should be done. An amazing and beautiful board game has been lovingly transferred to a digital version. Gameplay is excellent, the art is stunning and the soothing audio rounds out an incredible app. Hats off to all involved..Version: 1.1.223
✓ Achievements… please expand the text boxes so they can be readHiya! Great game… I’ve been trying to complete all the achievements, but can’t read all of them as the text box does not expand. There’s a couple left that I don’t know what’s required to complete the achievements. Can you fix it so the text boxes expand? Thanks :D.Version: 1.1.223
✓ Fantastic Board Game Adaptation … Moments of ZenWonderful game. Beautiful art and animations. Fantastic voice over. Zen music. Fantastic expansions. My wife and I love playing this version with our friends in different states. Look up a review of the board game of Wingspan if you are hesitant about purchasing this and know this is spectacular, true-to-form adaptation. Developer Request - Please enable us to select which end of round goals we’d like to play with for custom games or specifically let us pick the “no end round goal + 1 additional turn for future rounds” as our first goal. We house rule that now as the first round goal with the physical copy and have a ton of fun with it..Version: 1.5.732
✓ Love the game but online matches need workI love this game, I’m a fan of strategy but also not super competitive. Wingspan allows you to play a decent strategy game without feeling highly pressured. The art and music of this game easily makes it a 5* However the online matchmaking could use some improvements. It’s frustrating getting close to finishing a match and it takes someone a whole 5 mins to make a move. In my experience if they haven’t done it in 3 mins, they usually stop making moves and it forces all players to disconnect. An improvement might be to either reduce time taking turns meaning players are waiting for less time and/or allowing 2 players to continue an online match if one drops out. Would make this review a 5* with matchmaking improvements..Version: 1.1.181
✓ Love it!I play at least 3 games a day. Bring on the Oceania expansion for iOS! (Written whilst watching the Sulfur crested cockatoos glide onto my balcony.).Version: 500
✓ Kinda adore this game?First off, some of my fav games on iOS are Istanbul, mystic vale, magic the gathering, smash up, stardew valley, prune, frost, magic the gathering, brawl stars, so I cover the gamut of games. I wanted something that requires some strategy without needing to sink too much time, and wingspan fit the bill. The art work is gorgeous. The learning curve is a little steeper than most of the games above, but no worse than Istanbul / smash up / mystic vale. And the game is rewarding insomuch as when you start to get it, you’ll catch the flow of whether to cede rounds for the win or run the table for points. Games take about 5 min or so, sounds great, overall well worth the price. Also If you’re an animal lover, they’ve also layered in great info on the actual birds..Version: 1.1.321
✓ Common Buzzard bug inquiry; Thank you!Hello! I don’t know if this is the best way to report this potential bug, but for the Common Buzzard, I thought I can play this bird without playing it over another bird if I have a mouse food. Currently when I try to play the Common Buzzard, it is requiring that I play the bird on top of another bird. Can some logic be applied to allow me to play the Common Buzzard NOT on top of another bird and pay with a mouse food resource item? I hope that made sense. Thank you so much for all your work implementing all the rules for this awesome game!!! 🙏🏼 Have a great day!.Version: 445
✓ Beautiful and relaxing, until bugs get in the wayMy friends introduced me to this board game and my partner and I were really happy to find it on the iOS App Store. The game is lovely, the sound design is nice and chill and the art is really pretty, especially on iPad. We really want to play together online but we can’t get the online play to work at all, and there are a few buggy screens. We can’t work out what the automa is/how/what it’s doing at all. Pass & play is cool though and it’s a lot easier than setting up the board game! I don’t regret the buy but I do wish the online play was working..Version: 1.1.340
✓ I never leave reviewsThis is the best reproduction of the outstanding game. Music, excellent. Sound and graphics, excellent. Get the expansions you won’t regret it. One of the best apps in the store. The developers have done an incredible job..Version: 1.5.732
✓ Amazing mobile adaptationThe game is beautifully done and recreates the physical copy really well. Have spent a decent amount of time playing this! Only issue is a few bugs while trying to unlock some achievements. I’ve definitely been awarded a couple a few times but when I go to check them in the menu it says I still haven’t unlocked them :(.Version: 1.5.757
✓ Wonderful game, one requestThis is probably my favorite game on my phone right now, but I do have one request that I have decided to increase to two. 1) a friends system where it’s super easy to add people to a game instead of having to know their tag by heart. It’d also be a blessing to my friends, who have to type in my incredibly long tag every time. 2) Can we please have the option to remove time limits from custom games? I’ve lost so many games to peoples schedules, and it’d be nice if friends could just play at their leisure. Again, amazing game. Loving it. Thank you all!.Version: 1.3.630
✓ Brilliant… but some of the trivia is wrong!Absolutely brilliant game - so beautiful and the perfect adaptation of the board game…. but some of the trivia is dreadfully wrong! I think there’s been some mixups…. E.g. House Wrens are definitely not brood parasites, as the trivia suggests… but are parasitised by birds like Cowbirds! I’ll start taking note of mixed up trivia if that helps :).Version: 1.3.653
✓ Birds. Beets. Battlestar galactica.Best game since battleship.Version: 1.4.682
✓ Wonderful app!Fantastic visual and background music. A great game to play on my 12” iPad. I’ve spent countless hours on it. Such a modern classic! Great app as it is now, personally there are a few things that can use some improvement. 1. I often play with the automa and hard AI. Doing this is to save time, compared to playing with human players. However, the calculating speed of these AI is very slow. It can take 20-30 minutes to finish a game in a 4-5 player game. Can you shorten the calculation speed? They are computers. 2. As popular as this game is right now. I think this game should perfect itself even more utilizing its strength as an app! First of all, there should be a play log available of each finished game for players to improve their gameplay. Secondly, there should be a special experimental mode where players can choose and arrange to get the cards they want in order to test out their strategies. Along with the game log feature, I believe this mode will be heartily welcomed by all experienced players. Of course, this experimental mode should only limited to the games with AI..Version: 479
✓ Great game but flawedI love Wingspan and own both PC and mobile. Unfortunately the inability to view cards adequately when your hand gets full, makes some matches unplayable. Additionally there are a number of power trigger bugs (e.g., discard and egg to draw cards) that force you to leave a game and reconnect. This ruins the online automa challenge. You can buy the game on PC for a fraction of the cost of this app with a google search for discounts, and that’s what I recommend any reader of this review do until the game is adequately playable in all forms. I will happily update my rating and review if just the hand viewing issue is addressed..Version: 445
✓ The extra practice helps me beat my brotherI’m a “moth-er” in real life, so Wingspan caught my naturalist’s eye at Toronto Dart & Games during my brother’s Christmas 2022 visit. We obsessed over it. And even though we live across Canada from one another, we’ve come up with a way to play together over video with our own boards. We play almost every week and it’s improved our connection in our adult lives. I use the digital version to practice, so I have a competitive edge on our $5/game bet — all the winnings go into buying and mailing each other new expansion packs. I love love love wingspan and they’ve done an amazing job adapting it to a digital format. The bird sounds are delightful! Thank you so much! Oh, I want an expansion pack of extinct birds. Please!.Version: 1.5.732
✓ Good gameGood game but it keeps crashing…. Can’t play even one round without crashing.Version: 1.3.653
✓ Great game — needs a another couple tweaksI love this game. That is why I gave it a five star review. There are two things that I found, that might be tweaked. One, when I try to end the game with zero eggs on birds, the game crashes and when I open it back up it does not register that I ended the game with zero eggs for the achievement. Two, I could not find any way to contact you the developer in the app. It would be a good way to have people submit bugs to you, if they can do it through the app instead of through the App Store..Version: 1.2.431
✓ Great gameLove Wingspan, it’s the perfect unwind and the digital version is great. However the game loses a star as I am unable to play with the expansions when I start the game offline..Version: 1.5.745
✓ Broken UpdateThe latest online update is completely broken. Cards that have been drafted by other players are still available in the deck. Then, when you try to play that card, it crashes. Has happened in almost every single game our group has played. It looks the developers messed up some coding that is not linking cards drafted with those remaining in the deck. You can’t even get out of it sometimes because the played card may have a “no going back” choice, e.g. drawing bonus cards. So the only choice is to start a new game..Version: 1.4.688
✓ Love this game, butLove this game. Been playing it for a whole year now. Ever since the update though my online games have been disappearing and I was only in the second round. I did not delete them, they were there once and next time I go on their gone, pooof. I hope it’s not affecting my karma. Anyways please fix this issue, so that I can get back to the game I love!.Version: 1.4.691
✓ Great implementation, ai needs a little workThe game is a very good implementation. It is a tad expensive but it is very professionally made. Only issue is that for a real challenge I need to play real people as against the ai my win rate is pretty high. Maybe 75%..Version: 1.5.726
✓ Money but worth itClassy game - beautifully made and conceived.Version: 480
✓ Best game ever!Best game ever!.Version: 1.4.691
✓ Great game, awesome developer!I’m enjoying learning how to play the iOS implementation of the game, which I have to say is brilliant. Really enjoying the bird song and narration!.Version: 1.1.176
✓ Delightful gameVery happy to see this game available as an app. I think it’s beautiful in every respect and the most relaxing game I have ever played. I honestly couldn’t care less about winning a game as the whole experience of playing, seeing and hearing the birds is delightful and the bits of narration are a bonus. This is now my number 1 game and I would recommend it to everyone..Version: 1.1.176
✓ Great gameplay. 1 important thing missingI apologize if maybe I just don’t see this feature…. But I wish their was a way to 1. Friend request people and have it easily ready to invite them to games instead of having to remember and type the name every time. 2. I wish there was a “ play again” or “ rematch” button to just go right into a new game with my group of friends that I just played with ( again , to not have to go through starting a new game and remember their names and typing them in and making sure the capital letters are the same. Etc) Edit *. Also it would be amazing if there was a way to note in game what your next turn would be. Like if you could put numbers like 1-10 in order like on a specific card or on a specific actions ( like take resourse or take eggs or take cards ) so when you play in sync mode you kind of can back in your rhythm !.Version: 1.5.732
✓ Great game, but plenty of bugs for your birds to eat.I’ve been playing constantly with my father for over a year and we both get way more enjoyment than we paid for (thank you for the non-subscription based value proposition!!!! MUCH appreciated). With that said, there are always bugs we’re dealing with that we’ve just learned to shrug off as part of the experience… notifications not coming through that it’s our turn so the game then times out. Birds we’ve played not getting logged. Innacurate text in rounds remaining screen. Not getting the correct bonus card points. Etc. seems to be a new batch every update. 🤷♂️.Version: 1.4.691
✓ Great game that has to be deleted and reinstalled. In addition, it crashesCrashes from time to time. Forcing me to uninstall and reinstall constantly. In addition, it occasionally freezes. Just wondering when these issues will be sorted..Version: 1.3.574
✓ Such a well balanced game!!I am so pumped they’ve made an online version of this board game~ it’s so well done! Can’t wait until they release the Australasia expansion ~ hint hint developers!!.Version: 500
✓ A beautiful relaxing gameThis is just a stunning port of a stunning game. Everything works well and looks gorgeous, great music, sounds and art. Highly recommend.Version: 1.1.158
✓ Great gameI love playing this game and have not had problems with bugs. It is just a bit slow. Lots of waiting while the ai had its turns..Version: 1.1.367
✓ Great gameStarted by playing the board game with friends. I loved it so much I purchased the online game! Iplayit at least once a day. Very challenging. Every game is different depending on your strategy..Version: 1.4.688
✓ GREAT!We love this version when there’s no time to set up the board game. Highly recommended although a little pricey..Version: 1.4.691
✓ Two player game keeps crashingThere is no way to send feedback with attached screenshot through the app and the 2 player game keeps crashing if a player plays the forest/food option x2 + additional bird card trade, there is no forward or backward option available and the game has to be abandoned - a pitty 🤷🏻♀️ we ❤️ the board game version, this app disappoints too often in 2 player mode.Version: 1.1.181
✓ Very good when I could complete a gameSadly the app now crashes halfway through a game, which is really frustrating considering the cost of the app and expansion, and how much I had been enjoying it up until then. There is also no useful help online..Version: 500
✓ Oceania expansionWe need the Oceania expansion!.Version: 1.3.567
✓ Love this gameI have board game with all expansions and love it! Only issue in my opinion - it feel slightly unoptimised and drain battery faster then I’d expected. Otherwise brilliant! Beautiful graphics, relaxing music, smooth gameplay..Version: 1.3.653
✓ Mostly loveI really love Wingspan, you might even say I’m obsessed. I think the iOS version does a great job overall and even automates some things that are a pain or difficult to control in the actual board game (like “between a turn” points). I play the iOS version a lot and love it except that it glitches every once in a while in the Beta hard opponent mode. It’ll put a random card on the screen that won’t go away, or sometimes the opponent won’t actually play and just gathers food. Overall though, it’s a beautiful app, faithful to the actual game, and fun to play..Version: 1.3.630
✓ Love this gameRelaxing gameplay, and stunning graphics. I would love if there was an option to turn off all the pop ups that you have to manually click through during game play, (round 1, 2, etc), like if it just flowed through faster automatically. Great game. Wish the European extension wasn’t so expensive!.Version: 1.3.593
✓ Bird is the wordSo many wonderful mechanics blended together into one game. So many different ways to win. I simply love it have it on my phone, my switch and the physical board game. Anyone an play and I recommend it to everyone! Ps the the bots can be a bit dopey some times but that’s what the pvp is for..Version: 1.5.757
✓ Good game!I love this game and was psyched to hear that an iOS version was coming out. I bought it to play on my iPad but apparently I need iOS 13 to run this on my iPad and my iPad runs iOS 12.5. I downloaded it to my iPhone and have a few suggestions and criticisms. The font for the game I know is staying true to the game, but it is very faint and hard to read on an iPhone. I would suggest increase font size slightly or print it in bold. Black text would be best instead of the brown text. You can’t zoom in in this app, so the games that I played I kept having to take it screenshot, go look at the screenshot where I could zoom in on the image to find out what I needed then go back to the game. It was quite frustrating. I ended up finding the game available for the Switch and bought it. Since I can’t play this on my iPad which was my original intention, I probably won’t play the iOS version again. It was too frustrating trying to read it on my iPhone and having to take screenshots. Overall though, good implementation of the game..Version: 1.1.175
✓ One of the best gamesGenuinely this game is so good- beautiful graphics, engaging cards and the perfect amount of rounds to really hammer out a good strategy. It never gets boring- I’ve owned it on board game form for years, and I had to get it for my iPad! 10/10.Version: 1.5.757
✓ The most relaxing game on the storeI downloaded this originally to get a better understanding of how to play the board game. But it’s been nearly a year and I love this game so much. I play it daily. The music and facts and bird sounds are wonderfully relaxing and educational. The only thing I wish they would change is the sound at the end of round and game scoring (or give you an option to turn it off) as its rather jarring compared to the rest of the game. Can’t wait for the Australia expansion pack..Version: 1.4.691
✓ Finally Glitchless!!Well it took awhile but the recent system change has improved the iOS game and it no-longer kicks me out in the middle of game-play. However, given how popular the game has become, it’s sure taking a long time to get Oceana up and running! Seriously, all that time wasted launching Calico Cats (or whatever it’s called)! I’m positive you’ll have more interest in Wingspan.Version: 1.4.688
✓ 72 hours for custom games plsReally enjoy this game and can’t wait for expansions to arrive, however I can’t play it with my usual iOS gaming buddies as they often need >24h due to work/family etc. Please can you bump up the Custom Game limit to 72h? Thanks in advance!.Version: 1.1.181
✓ Perfect adaptationI haven’t come across Monster couch before, but I sure will be looking out for their next board game digital implementation. This is digital board game done right. Presentation: stunningly gorgeous. Not only does the game look stellar, the addition of genuine bird sounds takes it to a completely new level. Completely justifies the £9.99 price point. Ease of play: not sure how, but I feel there might be room for improvement. I love the board view and rarely look at the “other” more beautiful view. Very useful to see opponent turns pop up so you don’t have to keep switching to their board. Online: I don’t use iOS board games for multiplayer as I prefer my games in real life with friends around the table. So that’s one thing I can’t comment on. Performance: Played several games. No crashes. AI turn takes a second too long, but that’s just me being impatient. Verdict: one of the best looking and smooth running board game implementations I’ve played in long time..Version: 1.1.175
✓ BeautifulBeautiful adaptation of a super board game. I have the board game but loving the AI as a way of learning strategy to improve my game when playing with friends.Version: 500
✓ Please integrate with iOSLove that you’ve brought Wingspan to iOS and it’s consistent with your other implementations. But it really needs to be integrated with normal iOS capabilities - especially notifications! The lack of GameCentre functionality is also frustrating and confusing. It’s hard to play with friends - still need to organise everything outside the app. And they don’t get notified of the invite either….Version: 1.1.181
✓ Great Game!!Such a fun and smart game!! Love all the birds, bird sounds, fun facts, not to mention the strategies and comprehensive gameplay. Can‘t wait for the online Oceania expansion!!.Version: 1.4.691
✓ Great digital app of a great board gameNo complaints with this. Easy to use and great to play solo while I wait for my next board game night with the gang. Highly recommend..Version: 1.5.745
✓ Beautiful wholesome gameReally love this game. It’s just complex enough to be interesting but simple enough that it’s not boring to learn. The graphics and music are excellent. I didn’t mind paying the price for this as I know it’s more niche so the devs have to be able to make money this way. It’s great on an iPad but some things are small so I would say if you have a small iPad or trouble with your eyesight maybe buy this on PC instead. I’ve had one crash but the game seems to have a great auto save to allow you to jump right back in..Version: 1.1.321
✓ Coding errorsI enjoy playing the game on my iPad. I have noticed what must be coding errors and know of no means other than this review to report them. 1. In several games when the goal for the round is simply the number of birds in a habitat, I notice that the quantity of an opponent’s birds decreases from one turn to another. I don’t understand how it’s possible for this to happen. It could if it was the number birds with egg, but not when goal is simply the number of birds. 2. When scoring a round it’s possible to see progress toward future goals for all players. However it can be misleading because one opponent often has zero birds toward a future goal but at the end of the first turn, might have way more birds than is possible to gain in one turn..Version: 1.3.553
✓ Great Game, but annoying bugWingspan is a really fun game, but it has an annoying bug which only appears intermittently. Ocassionally the green progress arrow fails to appear, often after selecting a food. The only way to fix it is to close the programme then restarting the game and it works again. Maybe because on iPad Pro, but very frustrating. Shame as love playing the game all the way through when it works!.Version: 1.1.176
✓ Great game, a little glitchyWe love this game. Slightly addicting!.Version: 1.4.691
✓ Brilliant gameLove playing this everyday. Feedback - it would save a lot of time if all players could select their cards and food tokens at the same time at the start of game rather than taking turns..Version: 1.1.428
✓ Great boardgame implementationHaving played the physical game for years this is a great implementation for when it’s impractical to get the actual game out..Version: 1.5.745
✓ Decent app, online game needs a ‘fast’ optionI love the Wingspan board game so was looking forward to the app. However, it is clearly designed for full-sized devices. I have an iPad Mini and I can barely make out some details like the end-of-round goal cards, etc. There is no way to zoom in or anything. That is pretty frustrating. I imagine is it absolutely useless on a iPhone, even the largest model. Second, the synchronous online play needs an additional timer options since 5 mins is WAY too long. I would suggest a new 2-minute timer for those who like fast games. Now all that being said, it is a pretty good app..Version: 1.4.691
✓ Great adaptation of the board gameThis helped me understand the mechanics in the real life board game, a deck-builder with tons of depth. Wonderful job translating to iOS. There is a ton of complexity but the presentation mostly helps bubble up what you’re supposed to be doing next and establishes the rhythm. After a few play-thrus, when you finally get a good bird engine going and figure out which goals to hit, you can pump out resources in really nicely. That said, the NPCs and separate Automata AI’s can be ruthlessly efficient as you ramp up difficulty, making for a good challenge. My only ask would be to add a Text Size option—the thin tall font can be a challenge for older eyes, even on an iPhone Max..Version: 480
✓ The game is perfectFirst of all: this game is masterpiece. Waiting Oceania expansion very much Small notice: The game started to crash after update to iPad OS 16. It is permanent crash while scrolling in Birds section..Version: 1.3.567
✓ LimitedLove this board game can’t wait for the next expansion. 10 out of 10 from me..Version: 1.4.688
✓ WingspanI love this game. I am totally addicted. I would recommend it..Version: 479
✓ I Love This GameThis is one of my favorite physical board games. This implementation is fantastic. The visual and audio features are amazing. Customization of the background is great. The background music is nice. Overall game play is wonderful. I have one big complaint during my real time play. Twice I have been waiting for opponents to play and their time runs out. I then find out that they were waiting on me because both times my karma took a -5 hit. There was no notification and the turn indicator showed it was somebody else’s turn. Hopefully this is fixed soon..Version: 1.1.181
✓ Excellent game, but some new bugs have come upThank you for fixing the Game Center achievement bug! However, the most recent update has some different bugs. Some or all of the European expansion bonus cards now don’t work when the Automa has it. One example is the bird bander bonus card. It doesn’t pick up the cards in the tray even though it should. Plus, there’s no option for the Automa to have 1 of the 2 specific bonus cards it uses when playing the European expansion. Another bug is when you open Wingspan in Airplane mode, you lose access to the European expansion even though it was purchased already. Hope these bugs are fixed soon..Version: 1.2.443
✓ FRUSTRATED!!!Let me be clear, I LOVE Wingspan and the new Oceania expansion looks wonderful! I just wish it would work. I haven’t been able to complete a game in 3 days because the app keeps crashing and takes so very long to reload, just to crash again! I don’t know why this is happening. I am on my 5th generation iPad with over 35 GB of space left and I have cleared my website cache and restarted my iPad so many times, I know that is not the problem! I really did not want to delete and reload the app because I would lose all of my previous achievements I earned, but if these bugs cannot be worked out, that is my next step. I am ‘pull your hair out’ frustrated at this point because I REALLY want to play! I always play the computer because I have no one to play in person and I love the convenience of not having to set up the board game, which I do have. I am so happy with the single player option of this game and really want to be able to do it! PLEASE HELP!!!.Version: 1.5.727
✓ ExcellentMaking wingspan fun and accessible for a solo player.Version: 1.4.688
✓ Wingspan but with a few glitchesSo handy to have the scoring done for you, but sometimes doesn’t register your cards for round points. Game froze a few times, but if you close the App you can resume play. So a few glitches as early days for this game format. Enjoying being able to play a favourite game on the move..Version: 1.1.176
✓ Portable WingspanI really enjoying playing Wingspan and this virtual version is fun on the go. 2 things I wish would be improved: 1. The program takes a long time to open. 2. I wish there would be an increased level of difficulty option for playing solo. For an experienced Wingspan player it is too easy to beat the virtual opponent..Version: 1.4.691
✓ Battery hogAbsolutely love this game. Have had it while on the switch, it’s such a well made digital board game. Bought it day 1 on iOS and I still love it but just 4 stars is due to it running my battery down quicker than any board game I have seen before on the App Store. Would love a battery saver option then would be happy to give the 5 stars Edit. Now that there is a battery saving mode happy to give it the 5 stars and really looking forward to the new expansion.Version: 1.1.321
✓ Love itHave been playing daily since the day it was released.Version: 1.1.321
✓ Great game, BUTLove this game but sinc adding Oceana expansion it drops out every 5/6 turns on my iPad. This is very frustrating..Version: 1.5.732
✓ Amazing Game!!I own and love the Wingspan board game (highly recommend it!) and was quite excited to have an app version. The game play is great, it is true to the board game and works perfectly as an app. I love the animations for the birds and that you can hear their calls. I do wish for a few changes: 1. Allow badges on the app icon when it is your turn. 2. Add Replay option at the end of a custom online game. 3. Make the AI turns faster. 4. Make it possible to view the entire achievement description..Version: 445
✓ Fun game, but disappointing stabilityI have played this game 4 times single player, and it has crashed every time near in the 3rd or 4th round. Good thing it saves the game, but I will echo the other reviewers sentiments in poor coding. By comparison, a similarly priced digital board game adaptation on iOS, Root, which is also a complex game, has only ever crashed once in a year of gameplay. Also, having to buy Wingspan in every platform is a greedy pricing model. The counter example is Catan, which is a buy once, play any platform sort of deal..Version: 1.3.532
✓ Beautiful game, but too many bugsI just purchased this app an hour ago. I’ve been playing Wingspan nonstop this year after getting it as a gift and was so excited to play on the app! The app is beautiful, thorough, interactive, well formatted, and really brings the game to life. However…the app crashes and closes every few rounds. Each time I try to view my opponent’s setup it crashes. This is hugely disappointing. I’m really hoping the developers sort these bugs out asap so I can enjoy this app and gameplay to the standard I know it should be..Version: 1.5.732
✓ Nice game but buggyThis is a very beautiful game, and it’s very faithful to the board game with the art and I love how peaceful and pleasant the music and animation is. But, I’mRepeatedly encountering a bug or when I try to play a bird, after I select my food there was no option to continue. I keep trying to back out and restart but it won’t move forward. I took a screenshot and tried to report the issue, but apps report just takes you to a website where you can buy things or you can subscribe to the newsletter but there doesn’t seem to be any option to get technical support. Anyone know how to report issues for this game?.Version: 1.1.181
✓ Love the game but app crashes a lotThe game itself is fantastic and the graphics of the app version are wonderful. But the app is glitchy as all get-out, crashing several times per round (not just per game). Some games I’ve even started and been unable to finish because the app simply closes on the same glitch every time I try to restart where I left off, forcing me to begin a new game and hope for the best. On average I get closed out of the app around 10 times per game, which I honestly can’t say has ever happened to me before with other game apps. It’s a damn shame too, because Wingspan as a game is superior to most and I’d be playing a lot more if I actually could..Version: 1.5.745
✓ BrilliantGreat game, it’s hard to get your head around it at fast forward first, but bear with it. Variable, strategic and fun..Version: 1.4.677
✓ Game = great; app not so muchWhy is it that when I’m winning, the app frequently crashes? And it never seems to when I’m getting beat. 🤔 This game crashes too often!.Version: 1.3.597
✓ Love the game; frustrated with a few thingsThe game is great. Playing experience is mostly smooth. Problems: 1. Coding errors. Several times I’ve played, I’ve been asked to choose a food based on someone else’s play. I do, but then there’s no option to continue (no arrow to press). I have to exit and lose the game. I’ve noticed a few other such things. A recent update said it fixed several such glitches. I thought I was all good, but this one just happened. 2. If I have to exit for any reason, when I try to return I have to start a new game. I lose the last one played. There is no self saving mechanism, and no save option. Makes me just want to go play Carcassonne on my phone instead of this..Version: 500
✓ ObsessedI average about 7 games a day as a nursing mother. It's a nice way to pass the time. The graphics (and even the board game version) are so aesthetically pleasing. It wasn't long after that I decided to buy the European expansion and aim to reach every achievement award. Some are VERY challenging. My only regret in the app game is allowing for a little grace. Say I grabbed the wrong food from the supply and it greatly affects my next few terms. Or if I accidentally play a bird in the wrong habitat; that might ruin the entire rest of my game. In a real game, maybe your friends would be forgiving and allow you to make the change. I know in the app version of Scyth you can go back a turn (or unlimited turns) to correct minor mistakes like that. You don't get that back-track option in Wingspan. It requires a lot of focus and double checking before you decide to move forward, because there is no going back once it's done. I understand not being able to go back in a live/online game. But I feel like the creators can find a way to allow that when playing against AI alone. Anyway, that's my 4 ⭐️ review. Tl;dr So fun, visually pleasing, and rewarding as well. Just wish they could allow for back tracking..Version: 1.4.682
✓ Love the game, but also...I love this game. I don't understand why the AI has to take soooo long to choose its cards at the beginning, and so long to take turns. Is this supposed to mimic playing a human? Because I could play humans if I wanted to, but I'd rather play a speed game with the AI. Also, the preserve archive is super annoying to navigate. The scroll bar has no nuance, you can't slowly scroll through the games, very lurchy. Love the birdsong, the backgrounds, the seasonal backgrounds are such treats, and I play this game too much! Haha. Thanks..Version: 1.5.757
✓ Great to learn the game!I absolutely LOVE this game. Since I started playing this I finally started to learn how to actually win at this game and won my first board game of Wingspan this week! I’d like to note that I am playing this game on my iPad Pro and I only play the base game, no expansions yet. And I mainly play Automa. I’ve read some reviews that say it crashes, lags in game play and I have not experienced this at all. I have never tried it on my phone cause frankly I can’t imagine it being easy with all the small text. I have had crashes when playing the online option though, but haven’t tried it in months so it may be fixed. This game is beautiful and zen with it’s music, bid facts, artwork animations, so many subtle design choices that make it wonderful. I play it to take relaxation breaks in my day. I highly recommend it!.Version: 1.5.757
✓ Warning!I have never played the cardboard game but when I saw that it was available on iOS I was excited to play it. The game does not disappoint and the tutorial was a great introduction to the game. The additional trivia about birds is a great addition and got me interested in birding in general. I’ve never been interested in birding, but after this game I’ve started looking at birds differently and picked up eBird as well. Warning: Playing this game will get you more interested in birds in general and specific birds in your area. I cannot wait to see expansions come to the game in the future..Version: 1.1.223
✓ ExcellentJ’aime beaucoup, on peut jouer en ligne et ou avec robot. Bon achat. Je recommande.Version: 1.5.757
✓ Amazingly executed appWe were reluctant buying the app while also having the board game at home, however, after doing it nonetheless we have no regrets whatsoever. The app is so beautifully executed and works really well. Definitely recommend to any Wingspan fan out there :).Version: 1.5.757
✓ Another great way to play the game!I have on switch, steam, and the physical board game and the iOS version is definitely a great layout. I wanted a way to play on a long car ride (didn’t have the switch with me and honestly not a fan of it on there). On iPhone, I can understand the complaint of small lettering, but not a problem for me personally. I love the achievements and little illustrations that go with them for things like Hope they get some expansions soon! One thing I think they could add is a leaderboard for the weekly online competition so you can see how your friends do. Otherwise, a great way to play Wingspan and take it with you wherever you go!.Version: 1.1.181
✓ Beautiful deck builderAbsolutely stunning game. Artwork is so lovely. Had only played the non-digital version no I cannot fault the love and care that this game has. Have not had any bugs or crashes (so far) like other reviews. There’s also a battery saver in the settings for those that had poor battery life with the game. Again, such a wonderfully realised card game with impressive online features like asynchronous games. Thanks for making a great game..Version: 1.3.567
✓ Can’t wait for more expansionsLove playing it as we have the board game as well and are excited for future expansions on mobile.Version: 480
✓ Pretty solid. Needs better notifications for multiplayer.I enjoy the physical version of Wingspan, and this is a pretty solid mobile implementation. A bit hard to play on the phone, but the iPad version is better. One major gripe: this desperately needs notification badges. My friends and I play a few asynchronous multiplayer games, and with Wingspan you never really know when it’s your turn, so we often have to remind each other. We also play Star Realms, which does badges/notifications quite well, so I’ve basically just started using the star realms badges as a reminder to check Wingspan, which is not great..Version: 1.1.181
✓ Great, but needs more online options.You can’t choose between the regular version and European expansion when playing online with random opponents. That should be addressed. There also needs to be a middle ground on time limits on turns. You either get to choose between 5-minutes and 72-hours between turns. Can there please be a 24 hour option? Maybe for people with a higher karma level? It’s so annoying to wait for a person to join a game and not even select cards and food, then waste an online slot until they time out three days later. My karma level is high enough that I shouldn’t have to worry about flakes dropping out of a game..Version: 1.2.437
✓ What a wonderful gameThe base game is great. The Oceania expansion (ie the Nectar mechanic!) makes this game close to perfect. Highly recommended..Version: 1.5.732
✓ Awesome game, great app!I love this app version for when I can’t play the board version. THe quality is great, UX is all good. I enjoy the lovely music too. Two things I wish could be better: the scrolling mechanism in the Preserve Archive and the method of deleting both the saved games in the archive and the “Your games” section. But I still give it a solid 5 stars..Version: 1.2.431
✓ Good but can’t finish 25% games due to glitchesThe game is terrific but so frustrating as in game, options disappear to move forward. Eg when you have to discard a card often becomes a dead end….Version: 1.1.263
✓ Love it but glitchyLong time fan of the board game. My partner and I love to start our weekend with a cup of coffee and a relaxing game on our phones. But the glitches and bugs are incredibly frustrating. It often kicks us out completely. Please keep working to fix it as we do truly love this game!.Version: 1.5.757
✓ My favorite board game on the iPad but…This has been my go to board game on the iPad for years, but now it is unplayable. It crashes constantly. I can’t even get through a turn now. It started after an update a few weeks ago. And since the most recent update it has just gotten worse. Started just being laggy then it kicked me out a few days ago. Then it started kicking me out about once per game, then twice. The game I am in now is on the last turn and I can’t finish the turn before being kicked out. I have tried to play the turn 5 times with no luck. So, unless it’s fixed it is now unplayable. 🙁 Please get the bugs out so I can get back to my favorite game!.Version: 1.3.618
✓ Great GameThis is a beautiful game and fun to play however it glitches at the end of each game not able to go back to the main menu. The only buttons that works are the review and details buttons. Other than that it’s so much fun to play..Version: 1.1.175
✓ Oceania expansion not working?Paid for oceania expansion but it won’t let me use it. 😑 Update: was only released to Australia on the 13th. So working now..Version: 1.5.727
✓ An amazing adaptation. Possibly even better than the original gameThe game has beautiful graphics and is really intuitive to play. There are a few glitches here and there (e.g. if you swipe when drawing cards it can cause them to disappear) but nothing that breaks the game. It’s as beautiful as the board game version. Can’t wait to see wha monster couch do next.Version: 1.5.757
✓ Good app but charged $30 for expansionEuropean Expansion was advertised for $15 for in app purchase. Charged $30..Version: 1.3.617
✓ Excellent (now the bugs are fixed)I love the board game but was wary of getting the app given all the comments about how many bugs there are. Having run the all on iOS since Xmas, I haven’t noticed any issue at all, and I’ve loved playing. I only hope the expansion kits get added..Version: 1.1.363
✓ WingspanGreat, engaging game!.Version: 1.4.691
✓ Bronzed cowbird??Played this bird but never got eggs when other players took the lay egg action??.Version: 1.1.428
✓ Update glitchesReally love this game but latest update is a disaster. Constantly crashes. Please sort it out or give me my money back..Version: 1.3.628
