I do have to restart at times though because the game will cheat so bad it isn’t fun. I deal with some cheating, (ie: landing exactly in your number even though ALL options are open in Parcheesi and Backgammon) but when it lands on you EVERY SINGLE TIME, and then proceeds to land on others as well, and make their way home, all in one turn…also often rolling doubles 4 out of 6 turns the whole way there, I just restart until it comes up with a fair game. It’s annoying and takes up a lot of time. If they’d get that in check so we don’t have to do that, it would be fantastic! So, to the developer, if you’re reading this, please fix that issue. Then you’ll have 5 stars from me. (And prob many others.) It’s a big enough issue that I, and others, often don’t want to mess with it and just play a different game all together. ### 4/5 — Finish Options Bugs & online freeze *2026-07-27, version 3.0.3* I love this game and it helps me practice for when I play it with my cousins in a table. The only bugs I would fix are 3 as follows: 1-Within the option to “Choose your Finish”, I select “Exact Numbers “ and it still plays with the “Bounce” finish 2-When I play Online with a friend, sometimes the game freezes. Sometimes we fix it by closing the game and opening it again, but other times we have to abandon it and start a new game. 3-I have family in Spain who love this game and would like to play it online with me, but we have tried many different ways for them to download it without success. Hope you can fix this bugs. ### 2/5 — Not close enough *2026-05-18, version 3.0.3* Although not horrible the game doesn’t follow enough rules of Parcheesi. There should be two dice, do that one can split moves between tokens. One shouldn’t be required to move a block on a six, that’s a dumb move. And I don’t like the extra step of verifying a move with hitting the destination place. What’s the point of that? Just make this an exact duplicate of Parcheesi and I’d be a fan. Fail. ### 4/5 — If it weren’t for the ads… *2024-05-21* … this game would great! Perhaps the creator can create an ad free version for pay, I would definitely buy it. ### 3/5 — Online doesn’t work for synchronous Invites *2023-05-09, version 3.0.0* The online mode doesn’t work when trying to invite while creating the game ### 4/5 — Update *2023-03-17, version 3.0.0* With the recent update I can’t open the app for iPad mini 2 ### 4/5 — Buena *2022-12-28, version 2.4.0* Estaría genial una versión pro, para no tener anuncios. ### 3/5 — Custom *2022-10-01, version 2.4.0* I tried this game in custom mode it doesn’t work ### 2/5 — Freesing *2022-01-27, version 2.4.0* I loved the game but it keeps freezing on me, have to reload it all the time. ### 3/5 — Unnecessary changes *2021-09-05, version 2.4.0* Why have changes been made to the Ludo gameplay? Pieces now move in opposite direction around the board. The old rules have be changed ie. blockade/move 20 places if you send another player home. Even the size of the board has changed I think? I liked the old style game better :( ### 1/5 — Глючит на айпад!!! *2018-08-20, version 1.3.3* И с первой игры незадалось… ### 4/5 — A nice app *2017-04-23, version 1.1.0* I enjoy this app, I usually play the games while I'm winding down from the day. Sometimes I like those casual games where there isn't too much thought involved. I do see where people are coming from when they say it cheats...sometimes it seems like it can't be coincidental, the way the dice are rolled. That being said, it's still a nice little distraction from life. I know I can technically get another app to play most of these games, and others may prefer those, but I personally like the way this app's versions are laid out, designed, and played. I've tried other apps that may be considered to be "better," but I found myself searching for a long time for this app when I switched phones. I like the simplicity in the design and in the use of the app. It's not too flashy, so you can just focus on the games. My main critique: The app needs to be updated. I'm not sure if the designers decided that not enough people use/reviewed the app for them to really do much more with it, but I would be sorry to see it go if it's no longer compatible with my phone. When I tap "options," it automatically closes out of the app. I am guessing this is due to lack of software update. I was also recently notified that it will not work with future versions of iOS. ### 3/5 — Options *2017-02-11* Avec un iPhone 7 il n'est impossible d'aller dans les options. Avant avec mon 6 j'étais capable! J'adore ce jeu!!! ;) ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — me *2024-08-16, version 3.0.3* The dice roles are so biased - terribly unfair game should win the prize for rolling the most consecutive ‘1’s in a row. The more I play it the more it becomes obvious that the dice rolls are not completely random. The more I play, the more I see that the dice rolls ARE NOT random. And different colors have different “privileges”. Blue gets very favorable dice rolls for bumping other players, specifically yellow. But blue is protected from being bumped more than any other color. Tell me what are the odds of rolling two triple doubles right in a row, the first double of both sets was double 5. Clearly the dice roles are not random. ### 1/5 — me *2023-12-29* The dice roles are so biased - terribly unfair game should win the prize for rolling the most consecutive ‘1’s in a row.

Randomly changes the dye after it lands. Very frustrating. Would not recommend. After being frustrated with this buggy game, I downloaded the Parchis game instead. Well worth the $2 spent for that game! ### 1/5 — No online multiplayer option *2020-08-19, version 2.2.1* I used to love this game on Android. However IOS version has no multiplayer option to play with friends online which was the beat part of this app. please add ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Great App but can be improved *2024-08-25, version 3.0.3* I enjoy the game very much and has all the rules I am used to, except for one. Things that I would improve is the look of the tokens. Whenever they are at home it is very difficult to see them. Also, there should be an option to finish with an exact number instead of bounce. I hate bounce! But I also like the challenge to wait for an exact number in order to finish. ### 5/5 — So good *2023-10-05, version 3.0.0* I love this game ### 5/5 — Cool variety game app *2023-03-24* I think more games and A.I difficulties should be added. ### 5/5 — pew pew *2022-10-23, version 2.4.0* pew pew is a lot better about your social security and then you can see your post on facebook phone and then you have your own number for you or you to call ☎️ and let you check in on the internet or your website to see if you are interested and not sure 🤔 your name or address will have you been on a phone 📞 and then your first date will let you know what 😮 says you can do that ### 5/5 — Great *2022-05-09, version 2.4.0* This has so many board games and I discover that not know existed ### 5/5 — Parcheesi the best *2021-10-03, version 2.4.0* Ok Bye ### 5/5 — Great for traveling *2021-01-14, version 2.2.1* I love that it has many more games besides parchís, when in long flights, camping or in other situations where you cant bring a bunch of board games all you need is to carry your iPad and you have all the fun with this app. I would pay a small fee to remove adds ### 5/5 — Update *2015-01-03, version 1.1.0* It's a great app, pls update and optimized ios 8 and ipad ### 5/5 — Genial *2013-12-14, version 1.1.0* Muy bueno ### 5/5 — Excellent !!!
