7 Wonders Companion App Reviews

75 add

Very good but needs iOS 5 support

Overall the app works very well. I wish that I had bought the app before playing the game for the first time. It is an excellent reference tool on my iPhone. However, I cant run the app on my iPad 1. This for me is a total killjoy. Not seeing any app features that specifically require the new iOS features so Im thinking it just was easier to not test for compatibility on older devices. Add in ios 5 support and this would easily be a 5 star application.

What?

Okay, I bought this app thinking it would actually let me PLAY 7 Wonders. When I finally bought it, I realized it just HELPED you play 7 Wonders. Besides not being able to play 7 Wonders, i think this is an excellent score keeper for the actual board game. Great job!

Good, could be better

Its a good app, but it could be better. I like that it keeps track of each persons individual stats, but I wish that it also kept track of the wonder stats. It wouldnt be hard to add on a list of the percentage wins for each wonder.

Great tool, lovely HD art

This a really great resource and the statistics are fun. Everythings great except a few minor things: One side of the Mannekin Pis does not show him in the Spartan costume. Catan (B) has the correct description for its stages, but does not show the first icon for either stage. The science calculator misspells "Aristotle". 8 player option for teams games.

Needs 8 Player Option

This app is great, but does need some additional features tied to the Cities expansion, like the ability to use it with 8 players, and to enter in masks.

Bug alert

Great app. Great game. Bug alert: current version doesnt let you select 8 players when you choose cities expansion. Please fix in next version. Hack is to say it is a team game to get 8 players but this messes w stats if it actually wasnt a team game.

Good, not yet Great

I love this app, but it could be made even better. Things I like: -makes scoring easy and simple -clean way to keep track of stats and records -beautiful artwork that coincides with the feel of the game -intuitive to use Things I would like fixed/added: -fix average, high, and low scores for players and games -add way to keep track of individuals records with each Wonder Board including high and low scores -in Game Statistics section, show who won each game with which Wonder Board -sync with app on other devices This app is good and makes the experience of playing 7 Wonders better. With these simple fixes, it could be even more awesome!!! Thank you!

Very useful

This app is a great way to calculate and keep track of scores, and look up symbols and info without having to dig through multiple games worth of instruction manuals. What Id love to see: 1) a way to see stats on a specific wonder (not just a player). We all know there are wonders that people groan when they get, and itd be nice to see how each wonder actually fares. 2) MOST IMPORTANTLY, a way to sync stats across devices (iPhone and iPad).

Needs update

Please update to score with Babel expansion.

Babel update please

Love this app. Has made figuring out scores quick and easy. Just waiting to pick up the newest expansion till this app gets updated.

Could be better

I like many aspects of this app including the ability to randomly assign wonders to players and even filter which wonders are available for a given game. I also like the overall mechanism for entering/calculating scores with one glaring exception (and this is my main gripe with the app): if you make a mistake in a scoring category (e.g. Military) you cannot go back and correct it without completely erasing all the scoring youve already entered. This is very nearly a deal breaker. You should be able to edit/correct any scores up until the point you actually save them. Also, other scoring apps let you post your scores to Facebook or other social media, a feature this app sorely lacks.

Inaccurate scoring

The app is nice in concept, but the scoring mechanism has too many inaccuracies to be useful. It inaccurately scores stages for some wonders, inappropriately limits the entry of multiple "blue" cards, etc. The science calculator is useful, as is the random city assigner. But the app has too many flaws to justify more than one star.

Great app needs Babel expansion

Great app but it hasnt been updated in over a year.

Needs Update - great app

This app is nearly indispensable when playing 7 Wonders. I would definitely give this five stars, but it does need an update. It does not (hopefully yet) have support for Wil Wheaton, Nimrod or the new Babel expansion. It is great to track all the games and have a record. As a piece of advise: dont forget to press save at the end of a game. I lost one once and it was my first victory!!

Not up to date with new expansions

Tower of Babel has been out for long enough that the app really should be updated. The hard limits on things like military tokens prevent you from scoring properly if you play a babel game. No other score keeper has babel yet, but Id suggest going with whichever score keeper incorporates it first.

Great scorer; in need of an update

This app really makes playing 7 Wonders a breeze. Scoring, especially science points, can bog down what is otherwise a very speedy game, and this app solves that problem very neatly. Having an app-exclusive Wonder is a neat bonus (albeit one I dont use too often; my group is not a huge fan of exclusive access to a game mechanic like that), and Cupertinos mechanic is very clever. The only reason this review is not 5 stars is due to the lack of support for the most recent expansion, Babel. Lack of Babel support can be mitigated by rolling Babel-earned points into another category, but that comes at the expense of accurate stat tracking. If youre just starting 7 Wonders and only have Base/Leaders/Cities/Wonder Pack, there is no reason not to buy this app, and once a Babel update is released, it will again be nigh-indispensable.

Not an actual game

This is not worth the $2 bucks. How do I get my money back for this? This is not a game. This is a score card that keeps track of your games. Who cares! Refund.

Update!

It is a great app, but it needs an update to support babel. And all future expansions.

Junk!

Dont bother! Doesnt work! Doesnt match the game! Ok yeah its got the expansion but get the game right first.

Great App, needs to add Babel

This app is fantastic and think that other games should follow this example. There is a new expansion and it needs to be added to the app. I hope it is in the works. Other then updating the app, this app is wonderful.
