Pros and cons of San Juan app for iPhone and iPad

San Juan app good for

Plays quick, easy to learn. Among the best digital versions of a boardgame. Highly recommended.

In my mind Puerto Rico is an outstanding game and San Juan plays like a "lite" version of that. The app itself functions without issues. The game takes about 10-15 minutes tops to play solo and is a really good game that is not too heavy. Well worth the price.

Love the iOS version as much as the actual game. Perfectly done.

Bought this for my trip to Europe, and it was awesome for passing the time during long train rides and such.

I still enjoy playing the game after having it for awhile. The AI still wins often enough on hard mode. I just wish there was a back button after selecting you occupation just in case your fat finger hits the wrong button.

Excellent implementation of a great travel game. I can only wish that other game manufactures would follow suit, committing to digital version quality as much as they committee to analog quality.

Some bad moments

The reason for my buying this game was to play with my fiends. Unfortunately Game Center multiplayer wont connect us.

Right now its 2/5ths of a game so I m giving it 2/5 stars. Can only play AI, online never finds a game.

Game is fun, but it is closing without notice both on iPhone 5 and on iPad. I cant resume the game, the only solution is starting a new game.

I enjoy the card game but I cant seem to get the app to run in iOS9.

Do not buy until they fix it (its been more than 4 months since the iOS9 developer betas were available...)

Excellent game but its just not working with the ios9 still. Its been over a month and still cant play. Unprofessional for a paid app.
