1 ★ I'm not really sure why but it seems be impossible to play with AI in this game. Everytime I play with AI, the AI freezes. It's not a good experience at all! Waste of time.

2 ★ Given the game is soo good a pity that Asmodee have not given full consideration for the app. Upon opening the app,about 40% of times it hangs. When this does occur about 33% of times I have to fully log in again. The interface is fairly good when playing an actual game but getting to that place is hard work. Also searching for games... pretty archaic system. Plenty of work to do.2 stars because the music and gameplay itself just saved this from 1 star. 4 bars on 4G and hanging... issue not here

2 ★ A good game marred by terrible and frequent bugs. honestly, i want to love this adaptation, but it needs work. tile laying goes wrong regularly and I've reported game freezes on several occasions that prevent me finishing a game on the last round. game freezes about 1 in 4 games. Devs, also consider allowing people to exit and resume games. otherwise, what on earth is the point in having an "eject" option AND a "surrender" option?

4 ★ Something is wrong with syncing achievements with google play. I have it in game profile, but not in google play games app. And I wish I could choose the number of people I want in a game.

1 ★ I'd like my money back please. I have no idea how they manage to get any 5 star reviews when its so unreliable. It's terrible, full of bugs and barely playable. I've played four or five games and only one or two ran without any bugs. The last two games hung completely. They have clearly not tested it properly. It's a total waste of time and even more of a waste of money. No, I just tried again and it hung again. The bugs are just so numerous it's impossible to list them. Unbelivable!

2 ★ Isle of Skye is a fantastic board game, and there's the bones of a good app here, but the game-crashing bugs are still far too frequent, especially when it comes to placing tiles. The developers need to put a lot more work into it before I would consider recommending it. Stay away until they are able to hammer out the dents.

4 ★ I was wrong in my previous review: you can skip the suggestion about the Google Play account and only enter the Asmodee one. Use the profile tab to search for and add your friends' accounts so they'll show up in the casual game tab. App still has some annoyances. Though the game state must be so comparatively small, it still upwards of 10 seconds to sync on the network. If the sync ever completely fails, it forgets your login entirely and you have to enter name/pass again. Often it'll stick at just a modal "Login" popup and I have to restart. Otherwise the graphics and sound and implementation of the game's mechanics are gorgeous.

5 ★ I admit : I thought this would be a carcassonne knock-off. A good one, because asmodee and digidiced each deliver quality, but still. I as wrong about that first part : this is a game more about bidding correctly than laying tiles. I'm bad at it, but the familiar and fun tile laying give me determination to master that part. So in the end, it exceeded my expectations... Just in a different way than I expected. :-)

2 ★ Doesn't work on Pixel C tablet. Tried support first. Over a week ago. Still no reply. A waste of time, I'm sure. Wanted to like this app. Too bad. Edit: It seems like about a year of owning this game and it still can't be played. On my Pixel C tablet, you can make it through almost one turn before the screen stops updating. If you switch away and back to the app, it is still running and the UI responds, but all it will display is a solid black screen. No reply from support. Ever.

1 ★ Very poor. We tried several times to play with 3 local players and an ai, pass and play, and we were barely able to play through a turn. Exiting and rejoining helped once, but not the other times. We didnt even make it through one turn. Will be contacting the developer because we have a brand new device (tablet) so this should work.

5 ★ Enjoying this game a lot. Playing ranked at the moment. Finding it pretty slow to get all players taking turns with regularity. My one question is why not auto pass when you have no money to buy tiles. Doesn't make sense to have to wait for player to log in just to click the pass button.

3 ★ Faithful adaptation of the board game, but the interface and UI is insanely clunky and cluttered. I have logged dozens of plays on the board game and it is still tough to track what is going on in this app. The AI is pretty great, though! Very challenging and it does a surprisingly great job at making human like decisions.

2 ★ LOVE the board game. On Android this game is almost unplayable. Frozen every turn, had to restart everyturn to play with friends.

1 ★ keeps freezing.. like Emma Pratt, i have an s8 and i have the same problem with the game freezing mid turn or end of turn. It's unfortunate that it consistently and regularly freezes, because the game is great. That being said, when it takes 5 (or sometimes more) games to be able to play 1 straight through, the game doesn't warrant even the 1 star.

2 ★ I like the actual board game but the animations of the game are so slow making the experience just feel dragged out.
