The game playing up
Let me start with the fact that Yamb is one of my favourite games! I was so excited when I discovered this app several years back.
However, I've been consistently getting more and more frustrated as the game keeps on playing up, and when the developer is contacted, it’s a gamble whether you’ll get a response, let alone a resolution…
Let me give you come examples based on my personal experience:
1. To start with even if you disable the options on receiving invitations for matches and/or chats form players, you will still get both. The game announces beginnings of matches you’re not interested in by dropping a large bright banner in the middle of the game you’re playing, which is beyond distracting. Players you’re playing against send you messages, which pop in as slightly less intrusive banners, but none the less…
I don’t understand why have an option to switch if off, if it doesn’t work!?
2. The game often sends you a notification that you left the match in the middle of your turn, without you initiating the departure, and as a result you lose the diamonds you’ve played for.
3. The game sometimes gets frozen… and again you end up losing the game/diamonds.
4. Now there is a new issue, after rolling the first time and selecting dice, as you press for the second roll, the game goes to the next player and writes in a result that was not selected by you, or intended to be played. Often crossing a Yamb, at your detriment, with potential loss of game/diamonds!
Over the years I’ve contacted the developer several times in regards to the issues above and got response to only 3 of my inquiries with only one resolved.
Quite disappointing…
