User Reviews

Players praise Catan Universe for a faithful, enjoyable Catan experience with global online play and a user-friendly interface. However, many reviews highlight repeated glitches and freezes that disrupt turns, buggy AI behavior (trade spam, long turns) and non-random dice, online disconnects with penalties, and monetization friction. These stability and balance issues significantly detract from the otherwise solid concept and multiplayer appeal.

Pros

Fun and engaging Catan experience that stays faithful to the board game
Online play with players worldwide, enabling global matchmaking
Intuitive interface and easy transition from board game to app

Cons

Frequent glitches and freezes that interrupt gameplay and can ruin rounds
Buggy AI/bot behavior (spammy trades, long AI turns) and perceived non-random dice
Online stability issues (disconnects, being booted mid-game, penalties to Elo/karma)
Monetization frictions (perceived paywalls or pay-to-progress)

Recent reviews

I have been playing Catan offline for a long time. Recent updates changed it so that it requires “sun” to play a solo game, which recharges every 12 hours.

Just a lot of in app purchases, stuff that is just such a stretch to ask money for. If you just want to play Catan then use colonist.io

The app consistently freezes. It will say that you were kicked out of the game due to the timer running out even though you had full service or/and Wi-Fi the entire time. Even though you block people they still end up in games with you. The dice rolls are predictive. The updates the developers do have nothing to do with fluidity of the game, but only to do with the appearance of the app. The only reason I still play is play is because I love the game of Catan, but this is by far one of the worst apps out there.
