User Reviews

Users praise Catanous for ease of use, quick map generation, and variety, with good visuals and expansion-related options. However, multiple reviews highlight missing features: no 5-6 player support or full Seafarers maps, limited customization and rule options (filters for number distribution and port adjacency), and harbor layouts that don’t match current editions. Some also cite value concerns and refunds. Overall, the app shines on usability and variety, but expansion support and precise rule customization remain the main drawbacks.

Pros

Easy to use and quick to generate maps.
Unlimited, varied maps that keep gameplay fresh.
Saves setup time and helps ensure fair, balanced boards.
Visually polished with a clean look; supports Seafarers maps.

Cons

No option for 5-6 players or full Seafarers maps, limiting expansion play.
Harbor/port layouts do not align with current Catan editions, reducing accuracy.
Limited customization and rules options (filters for number distribution, port adjacency, etc.).
Expansion support feels incomplete; some users feel it's overpriced or only tile-changing, not full maps.

Recent reviews

Should be some more settings rules and cofigs: 1. A resource should not be next to it’s corresponding port. 2. Two resources should not have the same number tile: not 6 on two different rock tiles. Just these 2 alone would go a long way.

We have enjoyed using this to map out our CATAN board! Easy to use! Would love for you to add Cities and Knights options!

This game does a great job of adding features to arrange the hexes and numbers to different game set ups which I love! However an issue I’m having is that the default harbors layout isn’t as accurate to the game itself. I’ve played both the 5th and 6th versions of Catan (6th edition doesn’t allow you to customize harbors!!), both versions’ harbors don’t align with the harbor layout in the app. 6th: 3, wheat, ore, 3, sheep, 3, 3, brick, wood App default: 3, 3, brick, ore, 3, wheat, wood, 3, sheep Maybe the app is geared towards an older version of the game? Regardless, it would be nice if it has that option to select which version of the game you have or something that lets you decide how the harbors are set up!
