Catan FAQ:

Question: Why do I have to download additional files after purchasing?
Answer: The download from Google play includes the basic game data and a tool that will determine your device’s display resolution and then download the optimal graphics data for your device.

Question: Which Android security permissions does Catan need and why?
Answer: “Storage” to write data to the SD or move the game data, “Network communication” to download game data and access the In App Store and “system tools” to check if Catan is already running to resume a game.

Question: I bought one of the expansions but after an update, reinstallation of Catan or after restoring my phone the expansion seems gone?
Answer: Don’t worry; your initial purchase is already saved in your Google account. However for technical reasons you might have to select “Buy” again. Confirm and a message will tell you that you’ve already purchased it. You will NOT be billed twice!

Question: I lost my campaign progress after reinstalling, updating from or when restoring my phone. Is there any way to restore it?
Answer: Savegames from old versions can usually be restored automatically. For all other cases we’ve integrated a cheat code: Enter campaign mode and go to select player. Enter „CatanWarp*“ (* = 1–15, e.g "CatanWarp5") as your player name and confirm. Exit the game via the home button. Enter your phone’s settings menu. Select applications/manage applications/Catan/ and then “Force Stop”. Restart Catan. The campaign can now be continued from the specified level number by selecting “New scenario *”.

Ratings and reviews

Rigged dice roll and AI. Rubberbanding pretty hard. If you're ever in a slightest lead in the game, the AI will make sure to knight card, block and steal your resources every round. Pretty unbearable to play single player, sadly the multiplayer player base is miniscule and it takes ages to start a multiplayer game. The server and the app is unstable and crashes frequently mid-game. Need a lot of work put in

I use this app because it's the best available but that doesn't make it good. Bots gang up - I'll be robbed 6 times in a row, then surprise, a bot wins - so gameplay is pretty frustrating. Trades will happen between bots that I never even have the chance to review and bid on. I like Catan, so I use this app, but I often get so frustrated I take long breaks from playing. Often doesn't seem to be much of a point.

The game is ok. It'll pass the time. I play solo and on the "moderate" setting. The game seems to regulate the difficulty level, not by making the players better, but by rigging the dice rolls. The higher your difficulty level, the more 7s are rolled against you and the more rolls come up with numbers you don't have. Nothing about skill. All about making realistic dice rolls unlikely. Frustrating.
