Reiner Knizia's Battleline App Reviews

Well at least more more option. In order to start a new match, you actually have leave the app and double press the home button and x it out in the active app menu...or you can play your current game out to the end. Unbelievable that there is not an in match menu (especially for single player mode). Add the universally available feature and I will raise my rating.

Plays well and intuitively. The only drawback is after the first few games the AI is no longer much of a challenge. I look forward to future AI updates.

Pretty awful UI, clumsy implementation makes it actually difficult to play a game with someone else. The servers are slow and it feels like you have to constantly close the app and restart to pick up new moves. Also difficult to start games with Game Center friends.

well Id say its a solid implementation of a great game - but the gourmet gaming system needs a little bit of work Game Center integration is bad - ally invites never make it to my friends and when you try to get back to one of your asynchronous games and god forbid you lose your connection its just white screen of death until you reset your phone ... plssss fix that??

Great game, lousy app.

If, however, you wish to play against a friend, you may be out of luck. As other reviewers have noted, the async option (through Game Center and the apps native game network) barely functions. It is prone to locking up, long delays, and crashing the app. In addition, the app has lost games. To whit: I started a game with a friend; we each took a few turns. And now, despite a badge on the app icon and a notification in Game Center assuring me that I have a game, the menu shows no current games and therefore cannot load the game. Id avoid purchasing this app until the issues are resolved by the developers...

Board game is great but app is awful. For starters, I have yet to succeed in playing a game. A. No one is online B. When they are, I cant find anyway to play them C. It wants us to be friends to do an invite D. There seems to be no way within the app to make friends E. or send invites F. So I try playing with its auto- match feature, but nothing ever seems to happen. Maybe Im missing something obvious, but as near as I can tell the app is only useful for playing.the computer, which is incredibly boring.
