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

Great game feels like it’s own thing totally like Chess, but with bugs everybody like bugs

I love the game but I believe there should be a way to view your previous matches so you can learn from them. I feel this goes along with the philosophy of not having a tutorial

I have enjoyed playing this for a few months now. The game itself is excellent and well known to me. The iOS version is clean, stable and has strong bots. Excellent for enjoying a quick game and good for training. Very addictive.
