You can trade with each other and claim the precious land with all its resources.

Catan FAQ:
Question: I bought the seafarers expansion but after an update or reinstallation of Catan or after restoring my phone the expansion seems gone?
Answer: Don’t worry; your initial purchase is already saved in your iTunes account. However for technical reasons you have to select “Buy” again. Confirm and an iTunes message will tell you that you’ve already purchased it and that you can re-download for free. You will NOT be billed twice!
Question: I lost my campaign progress after reinstalling, updating from an old version or when restoring my phone. Is there any way to restore it?
Answer: Savegames from old version can usually be restored automatically. For all other cases we’ve integrated a cheat code: In the campaign mode go to select player and enter „CatanWarp*“ (* = 1–15) as your player name and confirm. Exit the game via the home button and restart it. The campaign can now be continued from the specified level number (1–15). Levels up to the specified number will be unlocked in the custom game mode as well.
Question: Are dice rolls really random?
Answer: Of course! All dice rolls are 100% random and not modified in any way. We’re avid Catan players ourselves. We’ve played the iOS version hundreds of times while developing the program. There have been times when we won and lost a few games in a row because of the dice - just like when playing the board game!
Question: What about online multiplayer and further expansions like “Cities and Knights”?
Answer: We’re already working on online multiplayer and the next expansion.

Cannot play
The latest version does not work on my iPad3. I cannot get past the player selection screen. Pity, it used to be a fantastic game on my iPod.
Fixed the bug
Thank you, good app
Bug seems to be fixed in 2.1.7
This is a well executed version of the original board game and definitely worth it if you are a settlers fan. The AI's are pretty easy to manipulate with trading, though, which makes the game too easy after you get the hang if it.
The sound effects and crashing issues in 2.1.6 seem to have been remedied.
