    Nice app that saves time searching for or trying to create your own maps. For future updates I would love to see the ability to generate 5-6 player seafarers maps as that is what we normally play. Fog/treasure islands would be fantastic as well. Not sure how to work in fog islands with keeping the board setup unknown to the players laying out the board using an app. Maybe just provide the number of resource tiles and tokens to be used and the players can shuffle those face down and place at random? A variety of maps of the 5-6 seafarers size would be a helpful starting point.

    I use this app at least once a week, it's great. I've purchased the expansion maps in-app and use them often too. Last version, although a bit outdated in its design, was an awesome tool. The design is the most obvious change in this version, it looks pretty and all, but functions far less effectively in my opinion. The color distinction is not intuitive and number legibility is low and impossible to decipher without zooming in and around the map. Please bring back a map screen that is clear and legible when viewing it in its entirety, like in the previous versions. I don't mind the flat esthetic at all, but it mandates high clarity to be part of the design as well because it is so minimal. So basically I'd like to be able to put my phone on the table and reference it while I assemble the map, without having to do anything more than glance at it. Please? Again this is a great tool regardless. Still recommend it.

    This app deserves 5 stars, once some important things are fixed and functional. To the developers, please see those suggestions as direct input to make a well balanced and great application out of this! - there is no info about what is what or how this interface works. It took me quite some time to guess which colour stands for which resource. After a while we think we figured it out, but it stays a guessing game. - once you start a game, there is no obvious to get back to the menu. I Had to close the app completely and reopen it to get to the menu. Only after some time I found a “button” which brings me directly back. This is not very obvious intuitive. - the button to dice could be bigger. Players need to press many times to finally hit it right - the random port sometimes are right next to each other or present on the same hex. It would be nice if they get distributed with at least one hex in between. - sometimes, certain numbers are not present at all in the board. Imagi...

    I am having trouble with figuring out how to set up the ports the way the generated map calls it out. It would be useful if the ports were grouped together the way the physical board pieces are. This way, you could tell which order to place the pieces. Most of the time, we try to configure the border pieces with the ports in the locations indicated on the map, but there’s just no way to do it, so we just use the default 1-1, 2-2, etc. Also, I see most of the time that the resources are grouped together pretty heavily (all the wood in one section of the board, etc). And even without the option to have reds together, I see reds together. (8, 8, 6 all on adjacent tiles). The map also resets when you switch from portrait to landscape view. I just want to generate a quick, fair map that we can use to quickly set up the board and get to playing without having to spend a half hour worrying about it being unbalanced. Otherwise, the interface is slick and maybe I’d pay for the extra fea...

    This app works just as you’d expect it! I just wish there was a way to get back to the main menu without closing the whole app. Besides that, this has pretty much everything you need for a fair and balanced catan game
