Lost Cities App Reviews

I first saw this game, and was immediately intrigued. Watched appspys review, and gave it a go. I was a kittle skeptical of the price, but once I started playing through the spoken walkthrough, I was sold. Very satisfied. This is a great game and can be very fun to play once you learn. The look is different from the original actual game, but this way, it keeps track of your score for you. Very nice, great music, gameplay, and fun to play against computers and actual friends or people online. Great game. Definitely download it :) *update* For months now since the big iOS updates for 7 and 8, the app has been severely plagued by problems and bugs that cause the app to not notify you when your moves are ready. Also the App Badge icon always reads at least 1 or 2 or 3 even when you have no turns. They said they fixed these problems and bugs but they still happen. I love you Coding Monkeys. Please fix one of my all time favorite apps!

Stupid squared. I dont pay to watch a computer cheat me. Delete.

The game works but there are unresolved bugs. Mainly, the app doesnt produce reliable notifications. Sometimes it tells its my turn and other times it just wont. 5 stars if updated. But Im not holding on to any hope.

It always does "auto-match" instead.

Always liked the card game. App does a fine job of recreating it. However, whenever I try to invite a friend to play online, it assigns me a random match instead. Makes it useless to me.

I am throughly enjoying playing this game against AI, but unfortunately I can not currently play against friends. I have been told by support that this was caused by iOS 9 and they are working hard on a fix, but I just thought I would give a little word of warning for anyone that is thinking of purchasing this game with that in mind. I really hope they can fix this soon, as the game is absolutely great otherwise.

Sadly, has a huge issue where it will say its your turn, and will update Game Center that its your turn, but the app will take several days to actually let you take your turn. Ive reported the bug twice to Coding Monkeys, and no update to fix. Sad, because this is otherwise a fantastic game.

The board game is one of my favorite two person games. I was so happy to find that the app is just as fun. No bugs that Ive found.

Since upgrading to iOS 9 on my 5S, the card animation is no longer smooth. They abruptly jerk into their slots. Please fix.

Worth the purchase! If you like the Lost Cities card game and cant get your family to play with you all the time, definitely pick up this digital version. I was tired of all those low quality free games and games that make you wait long periods to play again. I can play this one as much as I want, however I want, wherever I want. No internet connection required so I can play on the plane. I loved the Xbox version and this one for iPhone is even better. You can tell a lot of time, quality, and testing went into this game. The UX design is very professional, down to the detail of the parallax effect in menus just like the iOS home screen. I thought about writing this game for myself because I couldnt find it on any online marketplaces anymore and I am impressed how they fit the game into the small form factor. It plays very well on the phone. Please make an iPad version though!

My wife and I love this game and at times have had games going asynchronously for months on end. The problem is, it is inconsistent in giving notifications when it is your turn. Sometimes you have neither the badge or a notification and the only way you find out is your opponent tells you. But even then, sometimes you take a turn and it doesnt register. Ive taken the same turn a dozen times before it actually sends. Sometimes I take the same turn dozens of times only to give up and remake the game. When you try to rematch after a finished game it often confuses takes a day or two for the game to actually start. My wife and I will look at our phones and both hit rematch only to see one or both of our phones saying that you are waiting for your opponent to decide. Just buggy and has been for a LOOONNGG time. Not a recent problem, but a constant for a few years.

Servers have been down for several days now.
