True to the original game, you can compete with up to four players for the most settlements, the longest roads and the largest army. You can trade with each other and claim the precious land with all its resources.
The game allows you to challenge other Catan fans online via cross-platform multiplayer to prove your strategy skills or play against the AI:
Various computer opponents, each with their own individual characteristics, will prove themselves worthy competitors: the pirate Jean, who knows no compromise, Vincent the merchant, who never allows himself to be cheated, Sean the knight, who takes what is rightfully his...
The popular Catan expansions "Seafarers", "Cities and Knights" and two new special scenarios are available as In-App purchases.
The complete Seafarers expansion includes more than 10 additional scenarios with an extensive campaign. Become Harbormaster, discover new islands and extra game elements like ships, gold fields, treasures and pirates. Ahoy!
The Cities and Knights expansion introduces various new gameplay mechanics that add even more variety to Catan. Invest new trade goods in city improvements to build one of the three metropolises of Catan – but beware of the barbarians attracted by Catan’s new wealth! You’ll need your best knights to fend them off! C&K contains a short campaign and 7 challenging maps.
Exciting adventures await you in the two new scenarios "Enchanted Land" and "The Great Canal". Vanquish dragons and bag their treasures or build a canal to help barren grain fields bloom once more.

Catan FAQ:
Question: An expansion seems gone after an update or reinstallation of Catan or after restoring the device?
Answer: Don’t worry! Your initial purchase is already saved in your iTunes account. You can restore your InApp purchases by selecting the restore-option in the Catan IAP menu.
Question: I lost my campaign progress after reinstalling, updating or restoring my device. Is there any way to restore it?
Answer: When saved games can’t be automatically restored, we’ve integrated a cheat code: In the campaign mode go to select player and enter „CatanWarp*“ (* = 1–15) as your player name and confirm. Exit the game via the home button and restart it. The campaign can now be continued from the specified level number (1–15). Levels up to the specified number will be unlocked in the custom game mode as well.
Question: Are dice rolls really random?
Answer: Of course! All dice rolls are 100% random and not modified in any way. We’re avid Catan players ourselves. We’ve played the iOS version hundreds of times while developing the program. There have been times when we won and lost a few games in a row because of the dice - just like when playing the board game!

Buy game. Register. NOTHING.
HQisSCAM
I spent $4.99 on this and have yet to play a single game online. I registered my account and have been waiting on an email with the link to login - which has never come.
Doesn’t work because it won’t send confirmation email
MDM1005
I would give this ZERO stars if I could. I registered work the game and it won’t send me the email so I can confirm and play the game. It makes me angry that I paid for an app/game and registered twice with 2 different emails and or still won’t send me the email. I want to play the game, but without the email it won’t let me login. What did I pay for if the game won’t let me play it.
Great strategy game!

Settlers is a great game of strategy for older children, teens and adults. I love developing different plans to develop the island, varying my decisions depending on the various board layouts and opponents’ strategies.
Ai cheats and Online doesn’t work.
Disappointed Uverse Cust
Read the critical reviews, those are all true. Fix the broken ai and online.
Creators are stealing from you
MickeyBarr13
A game is suppose to be played within a set of rules where all players have a chance of winner. This is not a game. The AI’s have a distinct advantage in this game. If you take a lead the computer starts rolling 7s and passing out knight cards. Your resources will be robbed and stollen from turn after turn after turn. The creators of this game are stealing your money and having a laugh. I want me money back. Do not buy.
Won’t Work Properly

The cities and knights maps no longer supported or work on my iPhone 6
Game good, CPU’s Badly programmed
bboyb1
The offline multiplayer is pretty good, fun, and easy to use, however the CPU’s and the automated game play such as the rolling of the dice is poorly made. Often times, CPU’s will unnecessarily trade resources between themselves to stack one player to beat you at the very end which would never happen in real life and the game will automatically feed sevens on your turn when you have too many resources. I can’t prove that these things happen for sure but I’ve been playing on the app for a couple months and at least one of these problems happens every game.
Really solid, but....

It’s a lot of fun. It’s very tight to actual game play. If you play with AI you just need to accept a virtually inability to trade well. You need to push to ports since AI is very unlikely to trade with you. Sometimes the computer players “gang up” on you even if you’re not in the lead. Ultimately, it’s a lot of fun, but not always fair.
