User Reviews

Overall, Hive on iOS is a strong, engaging board game adaptation with solid AI and useful features like iCloud sync, and it shines as a training tool and quick-play experience. However, it is hampered by a lack of in-app tutorials, inconsistent online/multiplayer functionality, confusing expansion pricing, missing save progress, and occasional stability issues. Addressing tutorials, reliable online play, and state saving would significantly broaden its appeal.
Pros
  • Solid core Hive experience on iOS with a clean, stable port and strong AI/bots
  • Faithful mobile adaptation of the board game with included instructions
  • Great for training and improving; addictive quick matches
  • iCloud syncing / cloud save support improves progress across devices
  • Online/multiplayer potential is recognized and desired by players
Cons
  • No tutorial; learning curve is steep and rules feel unintuitive
  • Online multiplayer is unreliable or unavailable; invites and matchmaking often fail
  • Expansion monetization is confusing or overly expensive; expansions aren't included where expected
  • No progress save / state-saving across sessions
  • Occasional stability/launch problems on some devices or iOS versions

Absolutely impossible to play. I watched the rules, but still I can’t move my bugs, but my opponent is allowed to go wherever it wants

I gave it a 3, only because I love using the updates. But if you add the updates; PILLBUG, LADY BUG, and MOSQUITO, I WOULD GIVE IT a 5 for sure.
