Pros and cons of New World Colony app for iPhone and iPad

New World Colony app good for

once the concepts are learned, there is lots of fun to be had
Really enjoyed it one of the few games I havent deleted after mastering
This is a pretty fun board game, like Catan, but with more math, dice rolling, and stuff to track. It really feels like some lumbering euro-strategy game with deep play choices to make. With that said, though, putting it on a mobile platform is perfect. With the automation comes a fast paced challenge. My only real complaint is that going first seems to confer a HUGE advantage, especially in multiplayer games. Much like the game of Go, you dont want to start in the middle of the board...
Great game. Quite a bit of depth to the game once you understand how things work. Havent tried multiplayer yet, but the single player game can be challenging with 3 computer opponents on hard.
Good game with a decent amount if depth to it. Computers are a bit easy once you figure out the game. Would be nice to have bigger maps too.
Just started playing. Lots of fun, easy to learn. Much like settlers of Catan with some new twists. If you like that game youll love this one.

Some bad moments

Update for iPhone 6plus !!! URGENT Ne fonctionne pas sur iPhone 6+... Did the developer give up ?
I purchased this game and played a few rounds of it, put incredible as it may seems it just freezes now in a "tell your friends" screen. So as the developers think that is really that important that I tell everyone about this game, here I am. Dont buy until they fix this bug.
I like this game a lot, but since the last update, its blocked on all devices. Also I think, the handling in the menus needs an overhaul. Every function needs too many buttons to click and uses too many steps. For example: if you want to end a game, it takes six steps to get back to the Main Menu. Why? But instead of reducing that menu-chaos with the latest update, we got another window that needs to be clicked away with every start of the game two times.
Save, save, save! Holy batman! How many times must we see "save game" for a finished game? Developer must be out to lunch. Please fix!!!!
This game drains my battery hard, 30 minutes of playing will destroy 50% of my battery. AI is buggy, they have countless resources at times and are able to build on water without a harbour. AI needs to be fixed so they have to play by the same rules as the human players
The game itself is very enjoyable, but it now crashes constantly partway through. Unplayable currently.
