### 4/5 — Addictive

*2021-08-07, version 2.0*

Addictive, even if you play alone.  Some of the real rules don't apply in this game.  I do enjoy playing it anyway.

### 3/5 — Annoying Ads

*2014-07-25*

I really enjoy playing this version of Farkle but the full screen timed ads are really really super annoying.  I would gladly pay to remove them but it seems there is no option to do so.

### 4/5 — Farley solo

*2013-09-18, version 1.2.1*

It's pretty good. I haven't quite figured out the chips & do-overs, etc. I'll learn my way around.

### 3/5 — This game is great:)

### 4/5 — Fun Farkle Solitaire Game

*2013-02-16, version 1.2.1*

Fun but has sound settings issue on my iPhone 5. On is full volume of the dice rolls

### 1/5 — Won’t run anymore

*2021-02-19, version 2.0*

iOS 14 finally outdated the app and it won’t run anymore. This has been my favorite for years. It’s sad that it’s not being updated.

### 1/5 — Farkles > Fun

*2014-08-30, version 1.2.1*

too many Farkles to be fun

### 1/5 — Thumbs Down

*2014-05-20, version 1.2.1*

Though it is similar to dice game, the app has a lot of errors.

### 1/5 — Crashes - never got to play it

*2013-02-05, version 1.2.1*

Installed the app but every time I open it, it crashes immediately.  Uninstalled, reinstalled, still the same problem.  Deleted it for good now.

### 1/5 — Scam

*2012-11-10, version 1.2.1*

Since they added the unfarkle chips that you can buy as an IAP, it now makes you farkle almost every other hand.  When rolling 4 or 5 dice you get nothing far more than probability would allow for.  And it's all so people will get frustrated and feel motivated to buy the unfarkles.  Wasn't that great of a version of farkle to begin with, but now with the game cheating you blind it's downright unusable unless you spend real money on the BS unfarkle chips.  Don't waste your time.

### 1/5 — Crashes EVERY TIME

*2012-10-30, version 1.2.1*

Crashes EVERY TIME I try to start a new game!!

### 2/5 — Ads annoying beyond measure

*2016-12-24, version 2.0*

The game rolling is still rigged and yet MORE ads than last time I wrote a review.  Feh.  Deleted again after little play.

### 2/5 — Too many FARKLES

*2012-06-27, version 1.1.1*

Almost always first and second rolls are Farkle. I've played actual dice Farkle for years and never have I FARKLED soooo much. Out of 250 + played on three different itouch/iPads, not my favorite game any longer.

### 3/5 — Used to Be Bearable

*2018-04-25, version 2.0*

I have had this game for several years and could deal with the ads between games. No problem at all with that. I would expect that from a free game. But when ads recently started playing mid-roll, that is where I draw the line. A video ad would pop up just as I went to hit the Roll button and I ended up clicking on the ad instead. That’s how fast it happens. I just finished a single game where this happened 4 times during the game. Sorry, but I am deleting the app. That is beyond annoying.

### 3/5 — Good but...

*2015-10-17, version 1.3.1*

Good Farkle game but $1.99 is a bit much to remove the ads, maybe .99 would be more legit.  There's not enough interest or "bang for the buck" value to merit charging twice what most developed would charge.

### 5/5 — A unique take on Farkle

*2024-03-23, version 2.0*

I love Farkle Dice but this fast pace version is really fun.

### 5/5 — Great game, perfect for offline play

*2023-05-09, version 2.0*

I like the fast pace and ease of playing. Also great that it doesn’t require an internet connection as I often don’t have any service. Removing the ads is also a very reasonable cost. Overall great app

### 5/5 — I’m addicted

*2020-02-05, version 2.0*

I just played Farkle for the first time last night (I had gotten a board game set on Amazon called “Farkel Game Set with Dice Rolling Tray” (Farkle spelled Farkel)...I highly recommend it, it’s a very nice set. My teen daughter and I had a blast last night playing Farkle for the first time ever. I found this app today for my ipod and I am already addicted. It’s so much fun! I love the sound of the dice rolling. The ads aren’t terrible, so I can live with that. What a great game! Where have I been that I only played this since yesterday?? I highly recommend this game and also the Boy Howdy Yatzy (without the h). Both are my favorite games on my iPod. Thank you for making this game!!

### 5/5 — Farkle

*2014-02-02, version 1.2.1*

This game is addicting! Good way to pass the time while you're waiting, at the doctor's office or wherever. I like the UnFarkle chips and like to save them for when I've got a good roll going. Lots of fun!
