User Reviews

Potion Explosion on iOS is praised for its faithful board-game feel and accessible offline play with appealing visuals, but suffers from persistent online stability issues, crashes, and notification problems that hamper long-term play.

Pros

Faithful digital adaptation of the board game with easy-to-learn rules.
Offline play is enjoyable, with decent AI and support for pass-and-play.
Visually appealing: polished animations and colorful potions and professors.
Expansions provide more content and keep gameplay fresh.
Multiple play modes: offline, online, pass-and-play, and AI matches.

Cons

Online multiplayer is buggy: frequent disconnects, turn syncing issues, and timeouts.
Crashes and glitches during turns often require replays or ending the session.
Loading/startup issues: stuck on the loading screen or failing to load.
Push/turn notifications don't work on iOS, so you may miss turns.
Support and updates are inconsistent: broken invites, 404 links, slow responses.

Recent reviews

I absolutely adore the animations with the potions and ingredients, as well as the professors! I was originally introduced to this game on BGA with some family members. We’ve been playing it for years. I later introduced Potion Explosion to my boyfriend and we all love playing it. My boyfriend bought the physical board game and then later found this app. We have given it many tries with the online feature, but we have yet to be able to finish a game. The app bugs out and gets stuck on one of our screens saying it’s the other person’s turn and it won’t sync up again or let us move forward. It seems to happen the most when life distracts us and we let the app sit in the background running or close the app entirely. The app seems to get disrupted and stops communicating between our two phones. He has a google phone and I have an iPhone, so maybe it’s something between the two that causes disrupted connection. We’re willing to stick with this app for the sake of the beloved game and will use it for times when we’re not doing anything for extended periods of time. We’re hoping for continued improvement and future updates. Thank you to everyone for your part in creating and maintaining such a cool app!
