Review summary

Hive with AI offers a beginner-friendly onboarding, allowing players to learn the rules quickly and start playing right away. The AI is a core strength, with multiple difficulty levels, hints, and an undo feature that supports deliberate practice and strategy development. The app shines in offline play and pass-and-play, and supports online play via BGA; the base game is free and expansions are reasonably priced. Players also value its faithful representation of the physical Hive. Some improvements are requested for AI balance, recap visuals, and polish.

Excellent for practice and developing Hive strategies.
Strong offline/local play and pass-and-play options; online play via BGA.

2026-04-12	Mi*****	Good, but two annoyances (one big, one small): - big - can't tap on background to un-select a piece, and it gives you a warning every time you do - small - why don't the two opposing colored bugs face each other instead of all facing "north"?
