Played a lot of this on ios a few years ago, but this version is less stable and missing functionality that one had.

The idea is great but the game so far is aweful.

A nice litte space game. Very simple but surprisingly addictive and compelling. No storyline as such but a few funny events and interesting missions. Get it.

C70%
by C####:

I started with lite version & choose this over Catan. I regret this now because the full version doesn't work very well. I emailed BOTH contacts over three weeks ago....NOTHING! Very disappointed because it likes to crash a lot.

by R####:

The game was alot of fun on my iPhone, but the UI is totally unplayable on my s6. I would say it need an update, but seeing as the last was in 2013... no hope :(

Q70%
by Q####:

The game constantly crashes. Don't bother buying it's a complete waste of money

G70%

Hours of enjoyment

J70%
by J####:

Unfortunately it does occasionally crash (on S4).

X70%
by X####:

Awful. Avoid this game. It crashes every five minutes, and after three days of putting up with it and playing anyway, it lost my save data. Programmers are scam artists to sell this despite these obvious problems.

N70%
by N####:

Okay, how the heck do I buy cargo? There is a SELL tab, but no means I can find to buy stuff!

W70%
by W####:

Crashed on me a number of times. It didnt resize to my tablet screen. The save/load system is a little overly simple. Not worth the money IMO.

S70%
by S####:

I find it addictive. I just wish the instruction manual actually correllated to the game better!

S70%
by S####:

Enough to block play- im crashing often around day 45ish. You hit that within the first 10ish jumps you do. Also, game uses permadeath, so why bother even having a save function? Unless it's not supposed to use permadeath, in which case, the save function is broken too.

S70%
by S####:

Good game but crashes so much its frustrating to play

S70%
by S####:

Needs more ships and upgrades

F70%
by F####:

Good game until you get the best ship and weapons. After that it gets kind of boring. Pretty cool for the first week of playing, though.

I70%

Awesome

Great game. Tons of fun.

S70%

Great game. I wasted many hours playing Space Trader on my multiple Palm devices through the years, and I'm doing the same here.

S70%
by S####:

I used to play this years ago on the Palm (Space Trader). One issue is it lags a bit sometimes, and there is no Quit game function. Can the dev look into this please? Thanks

S70%
by S####:

Good concept, bad interface, ugly graphics. Worth it if you like space trader games. Big gripe: the "ignore" button is in the same spot as "surrender"

A70%
by A####:

I own this app on my ipod as well. The only complaint I have so far is that the backgrounds make text hard to read sometimes.

U70%
by U####:

Love this game. Love the updates. Dev, you're doing a GREAT job.

D70%
by D####:

Better than the original and just as fun. Good job

S70%
by S####:

Needs a quit game option. Good game tho! G2

K70%
by K####:

This apparently is crap and I was expecting to return it for a refund. The last time I bought an APP and didn't like it I had 24 hours.

Z70%
by Z####:

This is the Space Trader I remember from my palm days. Not perfect, but addictive!

A70%

Buggy but addictive

S70%
by S####:

Space Trader again :) Back in the early 2000's i played allot of space trader, this game is a reworking of it. and its great!

T70%
by T####:

I absolutely loved the original, and I installed it on all three of my Palm OS devices back in the day. This version would be fantastic, except it crashes for no reason. I will likely try for a refund. If the problems are fixed in the future, this program will get five stars from me.

D70%
by D####:

This is the only game I've ever commented on. It would be a good game if it didnt crash. It crashes constantly so its impossible to save periodically. Not worth it at all!

T70%
by T####:

Loved the original Palm Pilot game, but the full game crashes a lot.

D70%
by D####:

Absolute waste of a good idea. Keeps crashing on every device i have

D70%
by D####:

One of my all time favorites, but sadly it often crashes losing all my progress. Playing on an up-to-date HTC evo 4g lte. Without the problems, would give 5 stars. Admittedly, the problem may be my phone, who knows.

V70%
by V####:

I really want to like this game being a fan of the original and spending countless hours on it. It's just hard to recommend it when it crashes to the main menu frequently without warning. This makes it hard to get any real enjoyment out of the game when you are constantly worrying if you will lose your progress.

Awful. Avoid this game. It crashes every five minutes, and after three days of putting up with it and playing anyway, it lost my save data. Programmers are scam artists to sell this despite these obvious problems.

Doesn't work correctly with the Droid X2. Support responded once asking for a version and haven't heard from them since. Potential, but buy if you aren't worried about losing two bucks
