MONOPOLY Game for Android
As a fan and player from way back, I'm impressed with this version. The design is slick and colour schemes have been thoughtfully calibrated to please the eye without looking too busy. My one complaint is that the 'hard' mode is way too easy. The same mode on the PS2 version was way more ruthless, with AI players building houses and hotels as soon as they had a set of properties. They would even strategically mortgage their other properties to raise quick cash for building, but not in this version.
Bought this game and experienced a huge disappointment. Idea of having so much loved game on my smart phone and challenge friends online was obviously a great thing to have. Poor graphics, no options to change anything at all , where is multilayer option?? Sound of the game just ridiculous! No possibility to turn it off completely when switch to music playlist... So great opportunity to make it a favorite game for millions and not used even 40 % of potential! !
I love monopoly and to be able to play with it on my phone is amazing. I feel the app was really well put together and the animations are awesome. Overall a really good feel of what monopoly is/should be like. The only criticism I have is the "manage" section doesn't work. It constantly freezes so I have to exit the app and then go back into it. It won't let me view a properties card so if I wanted to (un)mortgage I am not able to. Other then this is would highly recommend this app.
Nice Needs some work here and there but pretty good. Dice throw pop up button blocks bottom row of board though so this should be moved to centre of screen. Even on easy mode the game is fairly in the favour of the AI I noticed. Tried medium difficult and game is very biased on AI earning a lot of money. Surely the dice roll should be 100% random and not fixed in ANY mode ?
People are complaining it won't work on their devices at all but for me it worked fine on my Samsung Gt 2 and my Samsung S 3. I got it for 10p which is a bargain for an old classic board game. Probably the only board game I like. It is a large download file for a mobile device but as long as you have enough or your device supports internal -> SD then you should be fine. Anyway reason I don't give 5 ☆ is because it needs more options settings and because it's EA. Yes I don't like EA.lol.
Yep awesome! Love playing this with friends or the ai. Could be better with a few more music tracks considering games can go for quite a while "wink" "wink" dev. Small bug with game not responding after letting phone go to screen off. Had to force stop game in settings to get ap running again. But could resume without progress loss. To avoid this bug pause game with back button (Samsung) and then press screen off side button. Enjoy, battleship rules!
I love monopoly that's why I paid the money for it. But realy this should be free there is nothing special about this game just basic. You can't connect to fb to play with friends or have the option to play or chat with anyone else this needs a major upgrad to keep with the times. The app works fine for me though and I do enjoy it but don't use it that much
This game runs perfectly on my Huawei Ascend Y330 which is a really cheap phone so it should work on anything! People complaining must have faulty phones. It looks great with authentic monopoly rules and board with cool animations and stuff it's exactly what you want.
This game is seriously addictive I missed my flight while waiting on the boarding gate playing. Thats how good this game is :p I have had close to 100% win rate even for complex level. The one key to winning: BE AGGRESSIVE!
The game didnt load on my new galaxy tab 3 so I wish I could get a refund as it was a waste of money. Dont bother buying this game even if it is on sale. This game kept freezing my tablet when I clicked on it to play it. Now uninstalled it. works on my Samsung galaxy s5 but this version of the game is quite boring.
Raise the starting limit. Buy all propertys.Dont sell/swap any. Keep passing go and build hotels on your highest money makers. And as soon as one person lands on it it will give you the income to build hotels on your other propertys. watch the rest fall in defeat :)
Its OK but in teacher mode it hard to move around the board to build ur properties. there should be a easy way to do that. I can't seem to Unmortage my card I brought from some one. you can't look at property card you brought to see the info of the card or a button you mortgage them. I would like a refund still can't Unmortage my property help me
It was simpler, faster and smoother on my S2. Yes, graphics are nicer but it's a real bore not being able to speed through a round. No idea how to mortgage now. Freezes temporarily on occasion. Also takes ages to load. On a brand new S5 no less.
The monopoly game itself is okay, however. The board doesn't always drag when I want it to so I can build houses/hotels and I find its better just to click the "roll" button for the dice. I can't grudge the 10p I spent on this but I would like it if the bugs were fixed
App fails to load (Sony z3 mini). I want a refund! Worked well until my phone restarted and now I can only see the loading screen before the app crashes. I expect more from a paid app. Uninstalling and reinstalling does not solve the problem. No updates to the app since the start of 2014 and EA are knowingly letting people pay for an app that has a major flaw which renders it useless. Doesn't seem ethical to me.
Just like the iOS version, this game is against you more than the real board game could be. The AI never lands on my properties unless they are mortgaged, inevitably caused by me constantly landing on their complete sets with hotels, within 5 minutes of the game starting. This is all from playing on easy mode, seems I have to go to very easy.
Full of bugs and can't use all game functionality (unable to view property info, mortgage or unmortgage / near impossible to get through a game without it freezing. Waste of money. Would like a refund.
This is my first ever review. For some reason I gave the game the benefit of the doubt. I would played this all night instead I quit and uninstalled after half a game. How can an Android game be so sh*t compared to an IOS one?!
Xperia Z1 compact - game only works approx 1/20 times. Keep getting dumped out on the title screen. Plays fine when it finally starts though. Update: scratch that, now doesn't work at all any more. Load of rubbish!
Just downloaded, but all it says is it has stopped working after the Monopoly sign at the start... I know it was only 8p, but it should still work. Will change rating if I ever get a chance to play it!
Its a great game and having it on my phone and tablet is great because it saves setting up a big board and sorting all the money, the game works fine for me on my galaxy s3. when I went to the play store after checking my email the refund button had changed to uninstall. And I was only off the play store for a matter of seconds, otherwise, great game
I had this app on my BlackBerry and it worked perfectly. However on my Samsung A6 2016, the music and sound effects are just jumbled up hissing background noise. If the developer is able to fix this I will write a new review. Will wait for a bit before getting a refund. Very disappointed.
So far there hasn't been a version of this game that hasn't been riddled with issues. The latest major problem is poor resolution which makes the text so small you have to squint to read it. Almost like it has been developed for tablets and not scaled down properly for phones. There's also way too much animation when things happen; makes the screen far too busy, even with the animation option off.
The game works a couple of times and then it seems to keep crashing once I reach the language menu. I really would like this game to work for my upcoming road trip or I'd rather spend my money elsewhere
I should have listened when people said that it didnt work. Now its time for me to say that it didn't work. If you have a Samsung Galaxy Note 8.0 then dont get it. It says that the app cant run because the license is wrong. -EDIT- I had a "program" running and it does work.
This game is full of glitches. If I buy a property from a trade, it doesn't become mine even though money was subtracted from me. Don't tell me that this is really how it goes. I'm using a Samsung Note, my boyfriend plays on Ipad and it's perfect. Sucks really,
I used to have this game on my iPhone. It was so much better than this! The layout, graphics, this version is jerky and looks unprofessional. I think you should reevaluate the needs of the android market before you get the rest of your stars.
I have the new Sony z5 premium and bought this game. Downloaded it first game run smoothly but I can't have the sound up do to s nasty horrible sound. Uninstalled and reinstalled and got the same, game runs fine but can't have sound. I'm not to bothered about the £1.49 but I suggest if you like to hear the game as you play don't buy it.
Its OK nothing wrong with it but its not FAIR!!!! LIKE WHEN I DONT ACCEPT AN TRADE I LAND ON IT AND PAY TAX EVERT TIME and when all rolls and he always gets higher than me and I was ABOUT 2 winnnnnn the game turned OFFFFFFFF I had 2thousand and something there is something wrong with the game its just a bad LOSER WTF WTH
This is super fun, and I get all nostalgic whenever I play it. Choosing your own rules is a really cool feature. There is a bug with taking off a mortgage on a property you get from someone else. Makes the later stages really drawn out.
I rarely give an app 5 stars, but it's tough to fault this. They've ported over all the best bits of the original, given decent AI to your opponents, made the rules adaptable and made it move quickly! Am loving reliving my property mogul childhood, and I can still chuck the board in the air when I get frustrated (but without having to pick up all the pieces)!
How can I have 85% of the properties full of houses and hotels and yet take 30 more minutes for the AI to finally fall in one my properties? It conveniently got to jail, and chances and its own properties before getting to mine... Hated it!
Luckily for me, Monopoly runs smoothly in my device. Everything works fine. The only reason I give three stars is because the game hadn't been updated for about a year. Most of the reviews I read said that the app is not working for them. EA should've fix the problem a long time ago.
The rules are a bit messed up. When someone is in jail they should not be allowed to collect rent. Also when a property is mortgaged it doesnt allow you to pay off the mortgage so you can never collect rent from these properties even if you traded them from someone and have loads of money. Apart from that its good to play and works well
Not been able to play it. Says loading game......nothing happens. No instructions o refund so feeling robbed. Sometimes when i buy property it takes the money but i don't get the property.
works like a charm. Could have been a skip buton or express mode, without the fancy graphic. If it already exists, please let me know.
The throwing of dice, panning around the board and clicking on properties to build houses or mortgage do not work. The developers have not updated in over a year, this is shocking for a pay for game!
I have not been able to access this game after updating my device to Motorola Nexus 6. Is there any plans to update the game to make it compatible with my device. Will give it a hire rating if I can access it on my new device.
Doesn't do anything, teases me with the monopoly sign then fails to open. How do you get a refund for this? £1.50 please.

Bought this thinking it would save me carrying round a physical board in my back pocket, and it has! Great animation and great look and feel. The only major issues I have with the game is that I cannot buy back mortgaged properties, and what appears to be a common fault, the drag across the screen to view properties to put houses and hotels on doesn't work. The flick dice function also doesn't work. Overall a good digital version of the classic board game, however needs some major improvements.
