Message from Stars weak
Thu Apr 03 2025 tindrumThe helper app for "A Message from the Stars" is not good. The sections for Trust, Amplify, and Suspicion letters should be more visually obvious. They're in columns, which isn't the natural inclination for people entering info. There are thin lines indicating the grouping, but it could be made more obvious.
Also, the rules have limits to the use of Green, Black, and Red letters but the app doesn't enforce or even indicate when these rules aren't followed. You can enter 'E' in every slot ('E' is a common, or Green, letter) but the game won't even highlight or indicate this.

Good for companion, bad for everything else
Wed Dec 24 2025 ClearmeeplesThe companion for โa message for the starsโ delivers just what is needed, but a little bit more experience in the interface doesnโt hurt. The game apps simply doesnโt open at all.

Terrible UI
Tue Oct 14 2025 rji_There are no instructions on how to use the user interface for Mountain Goats and it is not at all intuitive. It seems impossible to control which dice you are grouping together. The camera angle is also terrible, makes the game difficult to see, and canโt be moved. I own the physical game and would be willing to pay for an app that actually workedโฆbut this one doesnโt.

Mountain goats
Thu Apr 17 2025 Anne J 2Game is fine, but I had to look up rules online. Also, moving dice to the top row would activate my notification menu on the iPhone which was very annoying.

Duplicate numbers?
Sun Sep 05 2021 Andrew M-Quite a nice implementation of the board game. However in my first game, it gave me duplicate rolls on two different occasions. If I recall, this is not supposed to happen. So the good game I had going was ruined because it made me place 45 and 54, even though I already had those numbers on the board.
Otherwise, like someone else said, it would be fun to plot your own route at the end instead of having it done automatically. It feels kind of cheesy when the CPU finds one worth more points than you were planning.

Poor implementation
Sat Aug 28 2021 thespaciousmindNo sounds for simple stuff like dice roll or cards flipping. No dice or card flip animations. I knowโฆ its a trivial thing, a minor gripe but I HATE โsilentโ apps. Digital board games should convey a sense of the physical board game. This one game fails in this regard. Iโm surpised the app shows dice at all. Very cheaply made. I like the GAME conceptโฆ and if it ever goes on sale, Iโd get the physical game. Looks FAR more interesting to play than this digital simpleton. One thing this digital game should do at the end is to allow you to submit your chosen route, overlayed with the โoptimalโ route. They wont always be the same and would be interesting to see how close your chosen route matches with the optimal route. Oh well, glad I tried it but Iโll probably never play this digital app again. Great GAME concept, poor/boring digital implementation.

Nice implementation!
Mon Jan 27 2020 Mark_Z.This is a great visual implementation of the board game. It looks great and has a simple intuitive interface. I would love to see multi-player functionality built out so you can play with friends. However, I can still see myself enjoying this as is.

Awesome!
Fri Feb 21 2020 dbhumphreysThis is a solid implementation of a great roll and write game. Iโve spent many hours with it. I would *really* like it if it would to allow me to listen to music or podcasts while Iโm playing, though. That would get it 5 stars.
