The Game of Diplomacy App Reviews

This game needs a couple more things. It needs notifications, the ability to delete old games, and I personally think the graphics could be modernized a little better. Mainly the notifications though. Time left on a game, chat box message has come in, etc.

Terrible waste of money. Play online instead.

The support site tries to get you to give your Facebook info, but has no help. The game keeps saying you cant start a new game.

Games dont start when they are supposed to. No way to contact the developer.

The app doesnt work well. Lots of glitches and many times doesnt recognize your actions.

Overall very enjoyable with some rough edges. My chat pages (which do work) are covered with messages like "Undefined property: stdClass::$gmtOffset in /var/www/html/dip/lib/time.phpon line 81"

I picked this up for free, so I am not at a loss, but its hardly playable. 1) As most other reviews state, there is no information displayed about move status from previous turn, season, or what country you are. 2) The GUI is confusing, sometimes I cannot issue orders(blank bar instead of options), and sometimes my only option is to retreat or disband though I have no ideas what unit is being forced to retreat. Other times I attack with no way to be repelled, but my unit is missing after the attack and my enemy unit is still there. 3) There is no rule book or explanation of controls and game cycles. I read conflicting rules on the Internet about how many units can be built each turn and what the phases of gameplay are, so I cant even guess based off that. 4) Needs push notifications when a games turn has ended. Due to the length of time for each turn its easy to forget that you even have a game going. 5) Need more information about a game before joining, or the ability to leave a game that hasnt started yet. I hate playing games with 3 days each turn, but I dont know the length of the turns until I join the game and wait a day or 2. 6) In game notifications of new messages, too often I miss relevant messages because I didnt think I had any. 7) Chat is broken, sometimes cannot send a message due to the send button missing. 8) Needs a way to track alliances. With how many games you can be in its hard to track the alliances from game to game. If there was a menu that the player could update with who he/she thinks is an ally that would greatly help avoid ill timed betrayals. 9) Orders are not always displayed. I never know if my unit is retreating(or which unit is retreating) or if a unit is being built. The only orders I see are moves, holds, and supports. 10) A quick game option, with several minutes between each round. Sometimes I have an hour or 2 to kill, and this would be a great way to go. As one reviewer mentioned, the only decent thing about this game is the visual representation of orders, but thats when they show up. Can be a great game, but theres a lot going against it for now.

It wont even let me login to run the app!! :(
