Comments on Better Settlers for Android

★★★★☆ J. Frost · Feb 13, 2021
Very good board generator. -1 star due to just maps having to be bought and the tips say wealthy in zones that aren't wealthy. Such as an 8/6/4 IS Wealthy while a 2/4 is not wealthy.
★★★★★ Devin Rhode · May 27, 2019
The ports are a little tricky, but I just covered up unused ports with unused numbers. I put ports as close to edge of tiles as possible, without covering up the tile itself then I explained to everyone what that means I wish ports used the docks drawn on the board. I wish the app constrained board setups to just use those port positions, or at least gave you that option. I also struggled with figuring out which initial spots on the board are best. I wish that ui was improved
★★★★☆ brett3123 · Feb 11, 2020
Amazing way for learning players to make the strongest openings in a game of Settlers of Catan. I've seen a drastic improvement in my play since using regularly.
★★★★★ Reis Galvan · Sep 10, 2019
If you play Catan, you should have this. It will equalize your board layouts to prevent unfair starting positions and make the game more dynamic. It also has a roll tracker to check how even your dice are.
★☆☆☆☆ David Sprouse · Oct 1, 2020
User Interface on a PC for this app is horrible. The app's banner blocks much of the generated game boards, and the boards are so large that the user has to scroll up or down to see the top or bottom. It's barely useful at all.
★★☆☆☆ John Reese · Jan 11, 2022
This app wasn't as good as it could be it glitches, and you kinda need to get the paid version if you want access to the seafarers features.
★☆☆☆☆ Lemuel Bell · Jun 21, 2020
Have to pay to get different expansion generators. The free version made by another company is much better.

Description by Andrew Flynn Written by the developer, not by AppBrain. Click to read.
The Better Settlers Board Generator is for use with the offline board game Settlers of Catan. Not only does it allow for faster game setup, it generates a fair and engaging game.

We love playing Settlers. We've noticed that sometimes the game seems to be over in the first fifteen minutes--and no matter how fairly we try to distribute resources and probabilities during setup, natural bias creeps in. So we developed the Better Settlers Board Generator.

The algorithm for the generator is designed to create fair play. The result is more riveting and engaging play.

You'll have a better game of Settlers.

Please note:
- This is not a Settlers of Catan emulator, but is a companion tool intended to improve offline Settlers of Catan games.
- 6s & 8s are next to each other only if the 3rd tile is a 2 or a 12.
- For a board that follows the rules in the rulebook, please use 'Traditional' board layout.
- Network Access permission is used for Google Analytics, there are no ads or anything bad :)
