User Reviews

Users praise Istanbul: Digital Edition for faithfully and smoothly translating the popular board game to mobile, highlighting intuitive UI, excellent AI, and stable multiplayer. Common criticisms include missing asynchronous turn notifications, lack of expansions, and occasional bugs like AI stalling and chat issues. New players find the tutorial inadequate, and some UI elements could be improved. Overall, the app is highly recommended but would benefit from expanded content and polish in asynchronous features.

Pros

Excellent digital implementation of the physical board game with smooth gameplay and intuitive interface.
Quick setup and game duration compared to physical version, making it convenient for mobile play.
High quality artwork and music enhance the gaming experience.
Challenging AI with multiple difficulty levels provides solo play enjoyment.
Support for multiplayer mode is stable and well done.

Cons

Lack of notifications for asynchronous play leads to missed turns and forgotten games.
Absence of expansions such as Coffee and Letters, which many users desire.
Some bugs reported including AI players not moving and inability to restart games without restarting the app.
Limited or buggy chat feature impacting communication during multiplayer games.
The tutorial is insufficient and confusing for new players unfamiliar with the board game.

Recent reviews

Very good digital implementation of a great board game. I like the interface decisions they made, to make the different options visually "work" on a phone. (Just pasting on the board game art/interface doesn't typically work well.) I do wish they had notifications enabled to let you know when it's your turn on an asynchronous game.

Really love this game but for some reason I cannot access the chat feature. There is no chat icon beside the notification icon on the right hand side as there should be. I am playing with someone and they keep sending me messages and I can't respond which is very frustrating. I have search and searched the settings and cannot find anywhere that it may be turned off or something. One time as a fluke I was able to access the global chat, but I could never get there again. Please help!
