A mobile port made for people that love the original

I have the base card game with all the expansions and absolutely love it. Ironically, I actually played the iOS version before owning my own copies (but not before playing the original game) and I absolutely love both. I’m looking forward to the new expansions as they release. This is a near perfect version of the game that I absolutely love picking up and playing a few rounds between short breaks at work or before bed to calm down some. My only complaint with the game here is that it tracks what birds you’ve collected and used in the game which I absolutely love. But when you’ve played as much of the game as I have, it’s hard to remember what you’ve played before and what you haven’t. I wish there was a visual display on cards you haven’t played before like a little ribbon in the upper right corner or something denoting when a card is ‘new to you’. It’s a little thing but actually collecting the cards and filling out my bird list is the main reason why I’d rather just play this version if I’m home by myself instead of busting out my tabletop versions or a version on Tabletop Simulator .

FRUSTRATED!!!

Let me be clear, I LOVE Wingspan and the new Oceania expansion looks wonderful! I just wish it would work. I haven’t been able to complete a game in 3 days because the app keeps crashing and takes so very long to reload, just to crash again! I don’t know why this is happening. I am on my 5th generation iPad with over 35 GB of space left and I have cleared my website cache and restarted my iPad so many times, I know that is not the problem! I really did not want to delete and reload the app because I would lose all of my previous achievements I earned, but if these bugs cannot be worked out, that is my next step. I am ‘pull your hair out’ frustrated at this point because I REALLY want to play! I always play the computer because I have no one to play in person and I love the convenience of not having to set up the board game, which I do have. I am so happy with the single player option of this game and really want to be able to do it! PLEASE HELP!!!

Good but Buggy

I love the Wingspan board game and overall this is a good app adaptation of it. However, there are certain birds/combinations that seem to be buggy and cause crashes. Most notably, I just bought the new Oceania expansion, and two games in a row I’ve been unable to complete because the game repeatedly crashes. This seems to be the case when you activate a round-end power in round 4, and then have a yellow game-end power. The game completes your round-end power, tallies the round end bonus scores, but then crashes when it’s time to play the game-end powers. I keep reopening the game and it keeps happening again. I have had similar problems with some of the European expansion cards but those seemed more random. For the price of the expansion I would expect them to work properly. It’s incredibly frustrating to play an entire game and then not be able to find out the final score in the end. I understand bugs happen and can be worked out, but I’m also disappointed I can’t find any actual app support. The app support link in the App Store takes you to the website for the wingspan app, but there’s no link to report bugs. For the price of this game the developers should have a contact option for users to report these bugs, especially when releasing new expansions.

Overall great, just minor “issues”

Overall, this app is fantastic and well worth the money. I recommend it to anyone even mildly interested. Things I love include adorable animations of the game’s already beautiful art, lovely theme music (which I actually listen to outside of playing the game), fun facts for each bird, and bird’s calls/songs once it has been played. It’s a great way to learn the board game’s fairly complex mechanics on one’s own time, too. It also allows cross-platform play, which can be a rare gem! I withhold the fifth star because the AI turns load very slowly, and the AI hard mode is not very hard. I like to play with the maximum number of opponents but settled on just two because waiting for them to take their turns gets to be long otherwise. Adding more players also seemed to give me higher scores, because the AI regularly play the cards that share with the group, which I imagine most real people playing at a “hard” level would not routinely incorporate into their plans. Fix those issues, and it’s easily a 5-star app. It has some small glitches here and there but nothing too troublesome.

Great gameplay. 1 important thing missing

**** edit. This is now a year or more later and there is still no feature to add friends?! So annoying to have to ask people what their name is and type it in every time :/ I apologize if maybe I just don’t see this feature…. But I wish their was a way to 1. Friend request people and have it easily ready to ends invite them to games instead of having to remember and type the name every time. 2. I wish there was a “ play again” or “ rematch” button to just go right into a new game with my group of friends that I just played with ( again , to not have to go through starting a new game and remember their names and typing them in and making sure the capital letters are the same. Etc) Edit *. Also it would be amazing if there was a way to note in game what your next turn would be. Like if you could put numbers like 1-10 in order like on a specific card or on a specific actions ( like take resourse or take eggs or take cards ) so when you play in sync mode you kind of can back in your rhythm !

Good game!

I love this game and was psyched to hear that an iOS version was coming out. I bought it to play on my iPad but apparently I need iOS 13 to run this on my iPad and my iPad runs iOS 12.5. I downloaded it to my iPhone and have a few suggestions and criticisms. The font for the game I know is staying true to the game, but it is very faint and hard to read on an iPhone. I would suggest increase font size slightly or print it in bold. Black text would be best instead of the brown text. You can’t zoom in in this app, so the games that I played I kept having to take it screenshot, go look at the screenshot where I could zoom in on the image to find out what I needed then go back to the game. It was quite frustrating. I ended up finding the game available for the Switch and bought it. Since I can’t play this on my iPad which was my original intention, I probably won’t play the iOS version again. It was too frustrating trying to read it on my iPhone and having to take screenshots. Overall though, good implementation of the game.

Beautifully adaption of an amazing game!

As an avid player of the physical version of Wingspan I can honestly say I didn’t fully experience or appreciate this game until I played this version. The soundtrack is amazing and the added unique voices for the birds shows genuine commitment on the part of the development team to manifesting the spirit of the game in the app design. It wasn’t until I had played a couple games that I realized each bird you click on makes the sound of that actual bird! The music and sound effects added to the beautiful visuals of the habitats and the bird movements make this such an immersive experience! The game play is very smooth with only a few hiccups here and there and the game options are great, especially being able to play with friends. Overall an excellent adaption of an already amazing game! Could not have asked for more and so grateful that the creators and developers went above and beyond to give us another way to experience the game! 🩷

Crashes Regularly

I love this game, and the app does a tolerable job of executing the game rules and with nice art. Unfortunately, the game regularly crashes - to the point that it is almost unplayable. This app has been available for quite some time, so it is unacceptable to have such jarring technical issues at this point. How this app gets such consistently high reviews is a mystery. I really wish that more time were spent on technical excellence and less on cutesy stuff. Since I am pointing out faults in development management decisions, there are several more issues in that regard. For instance, the game is terribly slow. In addition, turning off animations doesn’t turn off all animations; the highlighted boxes continue to oscillate, the scoring insists on SLOWLY moving the scores for each player, and so forth. Furthermore, there is no way to save a game, so if you put it aside and it crashes, there is no way to recover the game. I can’t think of any other game where saving is not possible - truly astounding!

Stonemaier Games are taking part in a group lawsuit with an unspecified number of other board game publishers.
