### 4/5 — Need Opponents

*2025-01-28, version 3.2.3*

Anyone Still Play

### 2/5 — Wins are rare if playing local game

*2022-10-08, version 3.2.2*

Animation and everything is fine, but if you play against the computer, the odds are skewed too heavily against you.  The computer will have roll after roll of over 1000 points, and if somehow you manage to get ahead, the computer will score two thousand plus points to take the lead again.  It’s no fun if you always lose.

### 4/5 — Newest update

*2022-01-02, version 3.2.2*

The screen for the newest update is very small. How can I make it larger?

### 4/5 — Board size is smaller than screen

*2021-07-22, version 3.2.2*

With the last update the game play area does not fill the screen of an iPhone 12. Please fix this.

### 3/5 — Smaller size

*2021-05-15, version 3.2.2*

With the new update the display size is much smaller and doesn’t utilize all of the screen space. Please change back to original size.

### 3/5 — Back to rarely winning

*2021-01-21, version 3.2*

I have decided that this game is back to its old ways of never letting anyone win.  This happened a lot when I first started using it and I reviewed the game and gave same review - not fun when you never win - and I did hear back and for a couple of years it was good...but in the last six months it is awful.  No fun when you RARELY have a chance to win.  Going to try one of the other games

**Developer response:** Thank you for the input. The AI rolling code has not changed. Have you tried one of the other AI players? You can access them by selecting Players from the title screen. I hope you have better luck. Todd

### 3/5 — Fun but LOUD ads

*2020-11-30, version 3.2*

I have enjoyed this app for years and have the sound muted. In the last year the ads are not muted and are VERY loud. Very embarrassing in public. Have stopped playing. Too bad.

### 3/5 — Fun but has issues

*2020-02-10, version 3.2*

When you play against the cpu the rolls are so fast there’s no way to see what the comp scored. There score just totals up at the bottom and it’s players roll again. Not fun.

### 3/5 — Great game, but...

*2018-10-27, version 3.2*

I really enjoy this game, but there is a glitch when you have four of a kind that isn’t a five or one. It will only allow you to get three of the four. I’ve reported this a number of times in the past few months, but no fix/ update. 

Also, the scores seem low, as four ‘ones’ should be more than just 400 points, as getting four of a kind is more difficult/ should be higher value. 

I’d buy the game if the four of a kind was fixed, but they don’t seem concerned with fixing glitches so I’m not going to invest in the game.

### 2/5 — Ones and fives

*2018-03-12, version 3.2*

Ones and fives come up 80% of the time. Especially on first roll. Tiresome.

### 3/5 — Great Game. Needs scoring adjustment

*2017-11-16, version 3.2*

If I roll 4 6’s it’s 1200...that’s correct....but if the 2 other dice are playable, like 2 5’s, the score drops to 750 instead of going to 1300.....then I can’t get the extra spin

### 3/5 — Fun but unrealistic

*2016-12-27, version 3.2*

I ha e this three stars because the AI could use some work. The rate of turns from the AI the frequently exceed 2000-3000 points is amazing. I will constantly get turns that struggle to break 400 points while the AI seemingly roles 6 scoring dice like nothing. I once broke 10000 and had a comfortable lead of more than 2500 point to the next closest player and when all three NPCs had their turn I was in last place with the winning NPC rolling more than 4000 points. Great game but it needs work.

### 1/5 — Lucky computer

*2016-10-25, version 3.2*

If you play the computer, it tends to get very lucky. Especially if you beat the computer twice in a row, you will not win a third time. There are some games you just have to laugh at how lucky the computer is.

### 2/5 — It's good, but AI needs improvement

*2016-10-24, version 3.2*

It's probably the best mobile Farkle game you can find, but the AI is way too "lucky". Sometimes, if your lucky, you can win, but the AI opponents get 3,000 point rolls regularly, and it gets annoying.

### 1/5 — No longer a fun game

*2025-06-11, version 3.2.3*

When I first downloaded the game, the dice rolls were pretty random for the player vs the computer. After the updates, the computer rolls are predictable. If you manage to get far ahead of the computer, you can count on the computer doing 2 to 3 high point rolls to catch up or surpass you to win. I’ve had games in which I scored over 10000 only to have the computer go from 6200 points, do multiple high point rolls and beat me. You may win one out of 6 games. They need to fix it where it is totally random. Also cannot play against other random human players. It just sits there and tries to find an opponent, but never finds one. Again, fix it.

### 1/5 — Connection issues

*2024-06-18, version 3.2.2*

Trying to play with a friend as we are sitting in the same room with solid WiFi connections and the 97% of the time the game won’t even load. When it does load it freezes and we have to quit the game 3 turns in. We tried using a data connection instead and none of the games ever loaded. We both tried sending invites and the same results.

### 1/5 — Horrible

*2023-10-30, version 3.2.2*

Why the heck is there black around the app? Every freaking game n app is full screen and optimized for modern day devices, except this one. I’ve played this for years, and every single time I play with 2 other people to pass-and-play, one of us ALWAYS gets horrible rolls or farkles all six dice the whole entire game while the other 2 players are getting constantly good or great rolls. It’s always unfun or not fair for one of us, I’m tired of it.

### 1/5 — Cheats

*2022-09-04, version 3.2.2*

I have never seen a game cheat as much as this game. Amazing how it catches up at the end.

Example:  I finished with a score of 10800. The computer had 6900. It rolled and rolled and rolled until it had 11050. No big point rolls. Just normal rolls pulling out a one or five on the last die each time. One in a million chance. 

I don’t mind getting beat. But these dice are loaded.  

No more.

### 1/5 — Dice rolls are unrealistic, especially for the computer

*2022-01-24, version 3.2.2*

It’s just not realistic to believe that the computer will get three of the same number on just about every turn.  Even the player’s turns can have an overabundance of lucky rolls, but not near as many as the computer.  I deleted the game, what’s the point in playing if it’s really not fair play.

### 1/5 — Garage app. Garbage hyperlinked for support.

*2022-01-05, version 3.2.2*

Don’t buy. Please don’t download and especially don’t buy. They took my money and literally have zero support.  Hyperlink to support. Total joke.  Embarrassing. I cannot connect to friends or anybody around me. Does not work. A month of trying to make this work on a regular basis.  After paying for the app
  Totally cool guys.  You made money and you launched a piece of crap.  Father of four sons.  All have launched apps. Embarrassed for you and whomever held you accountable to being an honest entrepreneur.

### 1/5 — No Network Multiplayer

*2021-04-27, version 3.2.1*

The scoring isn’t accurate; I had four 2s and it gave me 400 points. There are other issues, but I downloaded this game to play with a friend across network, but the option is grayed out.

### 1/5 — Dice in this game don’t seem to be fair.

*2019-07-14, version 3.2*

No matter how far ahead I am in the game... the computer usually seems to win. This needs to be fixed so it’s fairer to the game player. Why play a game that it will never hardly ever let you win fairly. The random number generator for the dice really needs to be looked at very carefully, please. Thanks for listening.

### 1/5 — Glitches

*2019-01-02, version 3.2*

Farkle but I have yet to get an opponent that isn’t local. You can’t play other games while you wait for an opponent notification because it CLOSES the window. Also the 4 of a kind issue as stated above. Also ONLY Billy The Kid is local even though I’ve requested more players. I could go on and on. Feleting app choosing another.

### 1/5 — Can’t play network

*2017-12-31, version 3.2*

My husband and i are trying to play and i can’t play network. It doesnt give me the option.

### 5/5 — The best version of Farkle Dice

*2024-03-23, version 3.2.2*

I’ve played with a few and I like this one the best because I can customize the scoring.

### 5/5 — Customizable Scoring

*2024-01-26*

I really like how I can set the scoring points to match how my family plays. I highly recommend Farkle.

### 5/5 — Great for socializing with people on airplanes

*2021-11-13, version 3.2.2*

It’s great for breaking the ice at parties- “random airplane”

### 5/5 — Phenomenal

*2021-09-19, version 3.2.2*

I love this game and have loved it since its release. I think the odds alternate so it’s pretty fair. If anything it just gives me something to look at when I’m bored. Once you get the gist, its chance not strategy. Much love ❤️

### 5/5 — Fun game

*2020-10-31, version 3.2*

Entertaining game for one player. Multi player function lets you play anywhere. Great support with quick response time.

### 5/5 — Great game

*2016-10-18, version 3.2*

This is a fun simple game that has a nice western theme to it. It has game variations you can set, I would like to see more options but there are 90% of the scoring options I like. 

Great game, adds are not bothersome, I do recomend!

### 5/5 — Great game!

*2015-12-31, version 2.0.1*

This is a very fun game very similar to Mississippi Marbles that I play with my 93 year old parents!

### 5/5 — Fun to play random opponents via net

*2014-11-03, version 3.1.0*

Happy with this game. Choose a live game with random opponent over internet or against computer with three different skill levels. No glitches that I have seen.

### 5/5 — Love this game!

*2014-08-09, version 2.0.1*

I totally love this game!

### 5/5 — Lots of fun

*2014-02-25, version 2.0.1*

I love playing with my husband. We don't have to find the dice and our daughter isn't running away with them!
