Is anyone else getting this? If so, how is it?
I signed up for the beta of this a long time ago, so I'm not sure if that has anything to do with it. Never heard anything further about it.
Sorry if this is old news and I missed it.

Signed up for the beta and never heard back for months. Then got an email in German wondering why I hadnt downloaded the game. They were completely unorganized about the whole thing it seems.
I've been trying to play the online version of Settlers of Catan on my android phone for the past week or so and I've got to tell you that it is a very difficult experience. Out of the probably two dozen games that I have tried to play I don't think that I have actually finished maybe four of them against my opponents that I started. I'm not sure if it's a problem with the servers or with the app on my phone, but I usually end up finishing the game against one or more AI opponents.
I've decided I am going to wait for an update to the android app before I try playing any more games against online opponents.
If you check the website, they havent posted anything new since Thanksgiving. I think the story goes that the person in charge of the android development was fired or left the company.
It has been implemented according to the app on my galaxy s3 android. I entered the online option once but got the impression it was played live and not turn based, as in once you started the game with people you played it right then until completed instead of taking your turn and going on about your daily business until it was your turn again and you had a second to take it. Which upon further review would make more sense and required for trading so I dunno why I initially thought the latter.
TLDR; its on the android app but I personally havent dedicated the time to test it.
