### 4/5 — $

*2026-01-16*

We need more ways to collect bonus rolls without having to spend money!

### 4/5 — Enjoyable, BUT

*2025-09-04*

I like this game but I wish there was a shorter time limit on how long an opponent can go without playing before a forfeit is imposed. 48 hours is just RIDICULOUS!  A game of Farkle should not span days! Seeing as how 1 match probably won’t exceed 10–15 min if continuously played back and forth, 5 hours would be AMPLE time before a forfeit is forced. I’m tired of waiting around for my opponents! 
Other than that, the app is great! I love that you can mute the ads

### 3/5 — To many ads

*2025-04-01*

I’ve been playing for a while now without getting ads. In the last couple days, I’ve been getting constant ads.

### 4/5 — idk

*2025-03-31*

idk about this the dice don't feel random at all- the rules are different from normal farkle, which is fine but they should have the classic rules for classic games and the new rules for "normal" mode. they should also offer multiplayer. even up to 4 would be cool. i'd even settle for 3. but yeah fix your dice generator because there's no way. 

guess it's still the best option for farkle on the phone.

### 4/5 — Great Game!

*2025-03-25*

I love that I can put it down and come back later. I am also glad there is an AI opponent I can play with if I do want a quicker game. Very user friendly & satisfying to look at. Not too many ads, thankfully! 

The only thing I don’t like is the bonus rolls. I would prefer the game without cheats.

### 3/5 — Toooo many Ads

*2025-03-23, version 1.9.1*

The amount of ads is ridiculous! You have an ad after 1 or 2 turns. Not games turns! Deleting this app

### 3/5 — Share with your friends links are not working

*2024-11-22*

The game seems to be pretty good, but when the linked to your friends it becomes a server error and you don’t get credit for it.

### 5/5 — Hmm

*2024-10-24*

I’m not at all convinced this game is actually random. It often feels like I’m rolling nothing over and over again; but the kicker was when I rolled hot dice three pairs and then 3 snake eyes- but there was a server error that made it not sync. Rolled again. Hot dice with the same three pairs and 3 snake eyes. If it wasn’t connected to the server how did I roll the same thing? I think there’s some algorithm at work that makes you want to spend money to get re-rolls.

Edit: updated my review since the developer actually took the time to respond. With that said, this is the best Farkle app in the store.

**Developer response:** Thanks for your review. I can assure you that the rolls are not manipulated and are random. The device and the server share a secret key that is used to generate rolls using random number generation. When a player rolls their dice, the key allows the server the generate the same roll. This is done to verify that rolls are not manipulated and to ensure a player can’t cheat by redoing a roll just to get better dice. You can contact us at hello@yargies.com if you’d like more information.

### 3/5 — Time limit

*2024-10-08, version 1.7.0*

App is great but should have a time limit or add an option to play a whole game within a time limit

### 5/5 — Awesome

*2024-08-31*

Can we get the ability to change themes such as dark mode, or change the color of the dice? I think that would be fun. Thank you for a great product.

**Developer response:** Thanks for the feedback. Different color dice is a feature planned for a future update. Dark mode is an interesting idea and may be added to our plans too! Thanks for the suggestions. Please stay tuned.

### 1/5 — Throws are NOT random

*2025-10-25*

Whenever you’re down a few thousand, you get great roles. If you play it for a while, the patterns are so obvious they take the fun right out of the game. You CANNOT win consistently by skill and odds at high rollers table. The bots will make multi-thousand point roles. By the way, in their wisdom, they thought we wouldn’t notice all bots being named with an adjective + noun like dirty penguin or greasy chicken. I wish I could get my money back.

### 1/5 — Algorithm is garbage

*2025-06-21, version 1.11.0*

Ready to stop playing and delete altogether. The algorithm is complete trash. If I have 2 of any die, especially ones available and choose both, I Farkle 95% of the time. Needs to be fixed.

### 1/5 — Hacked

*2025-04-16*

I’m not trying to be a jerk. But this app is hacked. My wife and I got it and after playing it for a couple of days, some strange individuals came to our games and played for a while but then just sat there. Then several players came in uninvited and started harassing us. They took over my wife’s account. Then she made a new account and was not on her phone and her avatar came to my game. Like three or four of her. My account started to act strange so I deleted it. My wife’s phone started glitching and her account statistics were changing. She was not on her phone. Please be careful. Admin and devs please look into this.

**Developer response:** Hello, thanks for your feedback. We’ve been analyzing our logs for any evidence of hacking and haven’t found any yet. This is something we take very seriously. I believe I communicated with your wife through email and helped her access her old account as she requested. Keep in mind that you can block people if they keep challenging you to a game. I would really appreciate it if you can contact us at hello@yargies.com. Thank you.

### 1/5 — Pay to win

*2025-02-18, version 1.9.0*

The chances are skewed slightly to encourage you to buy bonus rolls, it’s entirely obviously from the amount of times my partner and I play that the 1s and 5s have a slightly lower chance than 1/6 of hitting per dice. The chances of losing with 4-5 dice is something much higher in this game than in reality, which is low.

### 1/5 — Too Many Farkles

*2024-12-08, version 1.7.2*

This game barely allows you to get over 300-500 pts. Expect a Farkle every other time. Expect several farkles are your first roll A LOT. Which is so rare when playing in person. It’s just not fun getting a Farkle every other time. I’ve gotten 7 farkles in a row WITHOUT chancing it. Consider another app if you live to actually play the game and not deal with so many farkles and ADs.

### 2/5 — Too Slow

*2025-02-16*

I do like playing the real Farkle with real dices.
It is fun to play with random players if they are really playing the game. However, there are too many players that would start a game and doesn’t play the game and then it can take a week to finish playing with the player. If they don’t play anymore, then it takes 48 hours before they are forfeited. I wish people would just keep playing the round till it is over which doesn’t take long at all. The long wait just gets boring.

**Developer response:** Hello,
I’m sorry you’re experiencing this problem. While you’re waiting for slow opponents you can take part in tournaments or play against AI in “instant games”. It’s hard to control slow players but it’s something we’re working on.
Thanks for your feedback!

### 2/5 — Not fun

*2024-08-26, version 1.6.1*

I play Farkle with real dice all the time and I have never farkled as much as I do in this game.  It takes all the fun out of it to be farkling constantly. Deleting this app.

### 2/5 — Fun game BUT

*2024-07-08, version 1.5.2*

Love the game. Hate that the bonus rolls don’t work consistently!!! Developers need to fix this!!!! I update the app every time there is an update so that’s not the reason.

### 2/5 — Ads

*2024-02-02*

When watching ads to obtain free rolls, it does not count down and give you the free roll. I’m not paying for free dice

**Developer response:** Thanks for the feedback. There was a problem with the rewarded video ads but it should be fixed now. If you contact me at hello@yargies.com, I can credit your account with the bonus rolls you should have received. I’m really sorry for the inconvenience.

### 3/5 — Good but misleading

*2025-06-11*

Game is good. Play with my family and friends, but kinda seems rigged. Been playing for 7 months, and can never seem to get more than 10 bonus rolls on a ticket, and I’ve done that maybe twice. They advertise 25, 50, and even 200 rolls, but seems like it’s just a rouse to keep you playing and they want money spend for bigger quantity of rolls.

### 5/5 — Farkle

*2025-04-24*

It’s really fun, but sometimes it’s a little slow for me like I’m on it. I think sometimes people fall asleep while playing, but thank you.

### 5/5 — Excellent Game & Company

*2025-04-09*

Farkle is super enjoyable. I only wish I could have more games happening at once, there is a limit of around 20-30. I had a small issue and contacted the App Designers, they responded right away and were very helpful and pleasant. Highly recommend this App!
