Rivals for Catan app good for
Very good port. But in duel mode, brigitta has a halfmoon. Meaning she shouldnt be in the deck. Can you fix it it ?
A very good adaptation of an awesome card game. The AI plays very well. My main concern is that the "continue game" option often fails (unreadable saved game). I suggest the developper to use two save files, and write alternatively to one and the other. That way, in case the last save state is unreadable, a failsafe to the previous state could be proposed to the user.

I am enjoying it so far and look forward to seeing where they will go with this. Design could use a little tweaking here and there. It would be much appreciated if they could put a speed option, I find the AIs painfully slow.
Rivals through and through, lots of fun, and great variation in the AI. Ive had my game bug a few times, typically when Im close to the end of the game, my board lights up red, and the opponents blue, and I cant make any moves but to return to the home screen. When I attempt to reload my game, via continue game, it loads for a moment then quits out of the app. A patch for this would be appreciated, if you can even figure out whats wrong anyway
Great way to pass some time. Challenging AI, but the game needs some tweaking. Eg pestering me about the tutorial ever time I play, at the end of the game having statistics on die rolls, total game resources for each player would be nice additions.
Some bad moments
Game freezes until you go out of the game, and then crashes and doesnt save your game. Frustrating when you are close to completing a long game, wouldnt be a big deal if it were a free game, but it is quite expensive for an app
All the reviews of this being too buggy are right. Only bought because it came in a bundle, but what a waste!
Almost all expansion pack buildings will not give you the option to build, despite having the resources. Also the game gets stuck sometimes trying to pay for a card to play, then fails to load back up after you exit to menu and select continue game. Please update! Id pay $10 to play this game without glitches...
Not just freezes, but certain chains of events in the game stop it so you cant finish. For example if you get a feud card and the opponent only has 2 buildings, it waits for you to select 3 when only 2 exists. Boom game over, you cant even finish.
As Lord I was traveling down my glorious road and I was shocked to find a silo of grain. I peeked inside and was horrified to see it was filled with bugs! They bugs were all over and seriously prevented me from using and enjoying my otherwise well planned and thought out grain silo. I wish that a crane or an engineer would come by soon and repair my silo so that it would be usable once again! Until then I fear that it is a complete and total waste.
Normally I dont write negative reviews based on performance issues. As a game developer myself, i know how many different devices and OS setups are out there are and how many fringe cases can happen. A lot of times a 1-star review can be written based on an unreproducible crash which can be frustrating for developers.
However out of the hundreds of apps Ive played, this game has the most egregious fully reproducible bug Ive ever seen in a paid app, and I think its objectively unacceptable. A game in progress cannot be saved twice. If you close the app and return to your game once (whether because you didnt have time to keep playing or due to one of the many many crashes in the game), you can return to your game state with no problem. However if you do this a second time, your save data will be corrupted and deleted 100% OF THE TIME. No matter what, you can never quit and return to an in-game progress twice. For a game that is relatively long and full of crashes (where you have to quit and restart) this completely breaks the game and sadly, no one should buy it. My setup is iPhone 6 and iOS 10. It *could* be a new issue with iOS 10 (I didnt play the game on earlier versions), but based on this issue I believe it would be a 100% consistent bug on all configurations. PLEASE FIX THIS BUG. Even if you dont feel you owe it to your customers, you owe it to the Catan brand. If this is not in fact 100% reprodcible on all iOS configurations, I would modify the review. It deserves the 1-star only if this bug is as widespread and blatant as I think it is. I dont even mind the crashes. But the loss of your save data makes it completely unplayable even for the most devoted fan.
