User Reviews

Race for the Galaxy's Android app is highly regarded for its faithful and visually pleasing adaptation of the card game, supporting asynchronous multiplayer and AI play. However, multiple users report major downsides including broken push notifications, occasional crashes, lack of updates causing display and compatibility problems, and multiplayer limitations. The AI's difficulty levels are also criticized for imbalance. Despite these issues, users appreciate the depth of gameplay and expansions, hoping for future updates to resolve these persistent problems.

Pros

Excellent digital implementation of the Race for the Galaxy board game, praised for clarity and visual appeal.
Good for asynchronous multiplayer games with friends or family.
AI opponents provide quick games to learn and play without human opponents.
App includes optional expansions for more variety.
User interface is generally intuitive and attractive.

Cons

Lack of recent updates leading to unresolved bugs and compatibility issues with newer Android versions, especially screen display problems and card highlighting.
Push notifications for multiplayer are broken or not working, making asynchronous games harder to manage.
App occasionally crashes, disrupting gameplay.
AI difficulty balance issues: medium is too easy, hard too ruthless, affecting game enjoyment.
Multiplayer support limitations: difficulty creating games with strangers and issues with using multiple devices through family library.

Recent reviews

This is my favorite game on android. I play it asynchronously with a family member regularly. It would be 5 stars, but a recent android update broke push notifications, making it much harder to complete a game before the whole game times out, at least for me. I will raise this back to a 5 when notifications return.

Excellent app for the game with a couple bugs, but this has been in constant use for friendly multiplayer games for ages. Sometime in the last couple months push notifications for multiplayer have completely stopped, seemingly out of nowhere. I have scoured the app notification settings and reinstalled the app to no avail. Unfortunate because the game and app are otherwise both so good!
