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

It's a great game, but the app is horrible. It crashes regularly. It doesnt save settings either, so if you close the app and come back to it later (not immediately reopening after it crashes) you have to reset all your settings. I have to turn off sounds, retype my name, and reset my player preferences. It's not a huge deal, but it's annoying to have to deal with every time I open the app.

I absolutely LOVE this game, but every single time there's an update I lose my campaign progress and it is infuriating. Also, the bugs are ridiculous! There is nothing more frustrating than playing an online game with others and AIs only for the game to continually freeze and force close, because the AIs are trying to pick a resource from their gold token. I play it daily and am always pulling my hair out. It could be SO good!

Seems designed to be hard to play unless you have every card and mechanic already memorized, know exactly what resources and cards you have at any given time, and never look away from the screen. You can't look at your progress cards or even the settings when it's not your turn, which makes the turns take longer (especially because you want to turn every feature off). Frequently pops up to kick players, even if their turn just started.
