45 Positive User Reviews for Catan Classic

Trading

The trade system takes a long time and is annoying but also don’t know how they could make it better given the system

Keeps

I love this game but it KEEPS CRASHING ON ME. I can’t finish a game without the app closing itself

Targeting AI Sucks

Game is great until the ai just plays robber over and over switching back and forth between your spaces and taking all your cards. Ruins the ability to win. Not worth $5.

Update

Please update this game. There are quite a few bugs.

Glitched

Very much like playing Catan - except when it glitches and skips my turn or doesn’t let me use a resource or game does not automatically play my victory point development card and I end up losing my game.

Love it!

I love this game. It's so addicting.

Great game but….

It is a really good game but I feel like the dang bots are a team and it’s 3 Vs. 1 they never want to trade with you only each other 😂 still fun tho

Great game, app issues

The app constantly crashes and logs you out. Otherwise it’s fine.

Good But….

I have been enjoying this game but to dice rolls are very suspicious.

Fantastic — till now

Keeps crashing mid game. Every single time since last OS update.

Great Game but often crashes for no reason

Screw doesn’t scale properly on iPhone 14 Plus. When playing Cities and Knights the barbarian ship is blocked. Also, no option to randomize which player starts first.

Best game ever

Very stable and always people online to play honesty anytime in the day or night.

Choosing matches would be nice

I would like it if there were options instead of just whatever random game they put you in. I think it would be very helpful.

Hours of fun

A great way to learn how to beat your friends IRL

Recent update is bad

I really enjoy this version of the game but recent update has caused it to constantly crash and force me to re login every time.

Fun game, but frustrating sometimes

I love Catan and this game is a good time. It can get frustrating because it’s not a free-for-all gameplay, it’s a you-versus-the-world gameplay. It’s very satisfying when you win, but also frustrating when the player after you plays a knight card, steals a resource, then rolls a 7, steals another resource, and then the next player does the same until you have no more resources to steal, in which case they roll the number that the robber is on.

Flawed AI

Came here to say the A.I. is obviously rigged against you; looks like I’m not the only one.

App glitches when you roll a 7

I’ve loved this app, but whenever I roll a 7, I move the robber and it doesn’t give me any options of actions. I have to restart the app, and then it goes to the turn before mine.

Fantastic recreation — hundreds of hours played

I don’t write reviews for apps, but this one is a breath of fresh air. This is a faithful copy of the original game (and some extensions). There are no ads, which is great. All the people that rate this game low because it’s “unfair” to them or “too hard” need to get better at the game. You’re not playing your wife and kids; these bots are designed to try and beat you. Also, what would the app designers have to gain by making the dice rolls anything but random?

Difficult to understand

As a beginner of Catan, this app does not teach the game very well and it very quickly gets overwhelming.

Love this game!

I liked the bored game a lot and when I heard I could play it on my phone, instantly I bought it. It’s pretty cool and the game play, just nobody likes to trade a lot (like what would happen in real life lol) but other than that I love it! 👌🏾🥴

Screen is cut off, needs update

Please update for newer phone so they fit better, trying to play cities and knights but can’t see the things on the edge of my screen.

Good but not great

The amount of 7s and statistical improbabilities around what numbers are rolled is super annoying.

Love Catan

If you like the board game you will love this app just like I do. It has helped me become better at the board game.

Needs reminders to end turn

Multiplayer is frustrating because people just doze off or forget to end their turn. There needs to be more reminders and perhaps better options to remove an idle player.

Great app

I think this app is very good. I have used it for years! Thank you

AI is simplistic

Gets the basic rules correct, but AI does dumb things a player never would

Eh

Game is cool but things get blocked with the notch on the iPhone 13 max.

Great

Super game for Catan lovers that just want a game . Maybe not for experienced players . Love it !

Love this app!

I love this app. I get everyone’s views on the AIs going after u with the robber but once you know this, you can plan for it.

Best Game

I have over 400 hours of play time. The “flawed AI” I haven’t noticed. It’s very strategic especially with Greater Catan (I have all the available expansions). I have a 90% win rate against AI with all four players. Great destresser.

Awesome platform but…

Need to add more campaign levels. Other than that, this is a fantastic platform.

Crashes

I wish this app wouldn’t crash so much! I just got the iPhone 13 pro and it has had more problems with my newer technology than ever (I had an iPhone 8). This game is great I just wish it was seamless.

Game challenge

I just learned the game this month so was happy for the game app I could play. At first one certain player seemed to win but it has Changed some. I do enjoy except When my numbers don’t get rolled of course.

Need more boards!

I love this game! Played it a million times, but the boards are getting old after a few years. Please bring in new options so I can keep playing!!

Great!

If you love Catan the board game, get this app!

It keeps crashing

I’d have given it 5 stars cos I love the game so much but every time I get into a new game it crashes which is a shame. Hopefully this can get fixed asap?

Needs fixes

Good game but could be improved. Need time limits for players turns. Sometimes you have to leave the game because someone won’t play forever.

7 Negative User Reviews for Catan Classic

Not Random

The dice rolls favor the computer too much.

Ugg

The game glitches all the time !

Love Catan but…

Catan is great and so is this app WHEN IT WORKS. I have been kicked out of multiple games in the middle of playing, the app also glitches often. It’s difficult to log in and sometimes crashes out after I get logged in. This is a great app when it works but it’s frustrating to pay for an app that glitches so often. It is the worst app I have purchased for that reason. Update your app and fix this so we can all enjoy more Catan. Können Sie mir bitte helfen?

Great game but having issues on iPhone

App kicks me out every 20mins or so. Requires me to sign in every single time.

Keeps crashing and keeps asking to login

I love the g,amen but they should fix the issues.

Crashes Too Much

for a game that cost money its kinda unacceptable to have this many crashes

Crashes frequently

Crashes frequently. It’s pretty good other than that
