Please bring it back! ### 3/5 — Not updated in a long time *2013-09-27* This app has not been updated in a long time, so there is no support for the bigger display of the newest iPhone and iPod Touch generations, which is a shame because the game is actually really good. Unfortunately there are also some stability issues. I am giving it only 3 out of 5 stars because it could really use an update but no one on the developers' side seems to care any more. ### 3/5 — immer noch kein Retina Display support *2012-09-17* Das Spiel gefällt mir sehr gut. Leider wird immer noch nicht das Retina Display des iPhone 4/4s unterstützt. Das trübt dann leider doch die Spielfreude. Und wenn man die Lautstärke regelt, regelt man automatisch die Klingeltonlautstärke. Das ist ziemlich ärgerlich, da ich deshalb schon einige Telefonanrufe nicht gehört habe, weil ich nach dem Spiel vergessen hatte die Lautstärke wieder zu maximieren. Also habe ich in den Einstellungen den Sound des Spiels ausgeschaltet. Ist aber schade. ### 4/5 — Almost flawless... *2012-09-11* Nice app, very well done. Three things would make it even better. The first two are game-play flaws, the last is just mildly annoying: 1. If you've already filled "Five Dice" (yahtzee) with a zero, a roll of five of a kind should qualify for 25 points in Full House, but the game gives zero. 2. In the same situation, if you roll five of a kind on the first or second roll, but you have no way to get points with it (e.g. five 3's when all you need is 2's), the game doesn't allow you to discard all dice and throw the remaining roll(s). 3. If you don't get a top 20 score (ie. virtually every game after you've played a couple hundred), the game says "Oops! You need to practice more." No, I don't think so. I played fine, I just didn't get lucky dice this time. Ironically, the more you play, the more likely it is you'll see this silly little message. How about "Nice Game!"... or maybe no message. As my grandmother would say, if you don't have something nice to say, just don't say anything at all. But on the whole I still like the game and would recommend it over other Yahtzee-like apps I sampled. ### 4/5 — Very Very Good *2011-09-10* This new version is a great improvement as it does not crash every five minutes. What is now needed is a version that will self orientate for the iPad! ### 4/5 — Awesomeness *2011-06-14* Got this one last night and have played it non stop lol. Love yatzee. A couple of times when I hit play again it went back to my home pages but just went back into app with no dramas recommend. ### 3/5 — Version 1.5 Needs More Work *2011-03-20, version 1.50* I like this app but version 1.5 appears to be a half finished update. The app finally includes graphics for the retina display but there are still lots of low resolution graphics that still need to be updated. Additionally the tab bar at the bottom now contains a new tab but the developer failed to name the tab appropriately. It says "item" when it should say "Settings". Pretty sloppy mistakes to make in an update that took a LONG time to come out. ### 2/5 — Wish they would update it *2011-01-04, version 0* This was one of the first apps I bought for my original iPhone when the app store was launched. I love the game, but the lack of updates is creating a problem as the OS evolves. It frequently freezes and pauses, making playing a frustrating experience. ### 5/5 — Amazing App *2010-09-29* this app is really fun, recommended for everyone. love it alot. ### 2/5 — Toujours la même chose: *2010-09-24* Avec les simulations de dés sur les terminaux mobiles, on tombe trop souvent sur les mêmes résultats(chose qui ne se produit pas en jouant réellement). Ici, l'aléatoire n'est pas vraiment présent. En connaissance de cause (ayant des bases en programmation), sur un pc, l'aléa est plutôt bon... Pourquoi pas sur un téléphone??? ### 5/5 — 828 - Beat that! *2010-07-27* Been playing this since it came out. Excellent game!! Top score is 828. Can't even get on my top 30 leaderboard unless I score over 637 - that's playing with 4 throws, not 3! ### 3/5 — Fixed *2010-06-05* Im v undecided about this. It gets very predictable to the point of annoyance. ... Full house within first five throws and never gives u a break... How the hell someone got over 600 on this ill never know ### 4/5 — Clear high scores *2010-05-31* Love this game!! Love it. I would change my rating to a five if I could clear the high scores and start over. It's disappointing when I get a high score but I still got a oops because it wasn't as high as the lowest high scores. Especially when my little kids play. They like some encouragement. Please change it. ### 5/5 — Great way to kill time. *2010-05-21, version 0* Best game. I have been playing this since the old jail break days. Update fixed the occasional crashing for me. I have not had any problems. ### 5/5 — One of my favorite apps *2010-03-31, version 0* I have been playing this for years. It's great on long flights to pass the time. Very well done. Lots of fun. ### 5/5 — Very Nice *2010-03-06, version 0* This and Battle At Sea are both very well made games. They are both fun to play, and do not have technical issues. Worth the money! ### 4/5 — More players *2010-02-17* Fun - just like yahtzee should be. But please add a couple of extra players as an option. Four would be ideal. Two just excludes the other kids! ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — crashes sometimes (fix it!) *2011-08-15, version 1.52* i bought this app, and it was fine until it crashed! i demand my refund! dont buy this app at all ### 1/5 — Needs updates *2011-02-09, version 0* Don't buy this program if they don't update it! It crashes and pauses frequently, it used to work much better but is in need of an update for the newest operating systems. ### 1/5 — Needs updates *2010-01-18, version 0* It was a fun game for about 20min.. Needs some Updates to make the game fun again.. Not worth $2.00 maybe .99cent When you pay $2.00 for a game it should be worth the money and it should get updates!!! SO UPDATE THE GAME ### 1/5 — Very basic *2009-11-23, version 0* game is very basic and for the price, definitely a no buy. ### 1/5 — Crashes *2008-09-09, version 0* I have only been able to complete one game of several attempts. Every other time, the game crashed in the middle. Now, it crashes at launch. I have no time for this. ### 1/5 — Don't buy it *2008-09-07, version 0* It keeps crashing. If it were free that would be one thing but it is irresponsible to barge for an app and have it not work. ### 1/5 — Crashes @ Start Up *2008-08-31* The update to this which we downloaded recently continues to make five dice crash on startup - Not Happy :( Please fix this bug the game was brilliant before the update - all time fav. ### 1/5 — Buggy! *2008-08-29* This app loads and plays once if you are lucky without crashing. If it crashes once it will never start again and the support site's advice does not fix this at all blaming an App Store glitch. As all my other software works fine I'm guessing this is not true. Best avoided until fixed. Great whilst it works by the way. Shameful of Apple to allow further sales until then. ### 1/5 — Crashes for me *2008-08-29* Pretty disappointed with this game. It keeps crashing on startup. It's kind of annoying to spend five bucks on something that doesn't work at all! ### 2/5 — Okay *2011-07-25, version 1.52* I have played better versions of yahtzee. Layout is nice but really not made for two players on the iPad. It's hard to determine whose turn it is because the screen does not rotate for each player. Disappointed in that regards. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Solid, well done, love it! *2013-01-27* The most-played game on my iPhone. Excellent. No complaints whatsoever. Thanks. ### 5/5 — Great Yahtzee-style game *2012-06-26* Far better than the others I've found. Solid app, no ads. ### 5/5 — Best game on iPhone/iPod *2012-03-13* I was obcessed with this game on the jailbroken phone. Now I love it even more. 4 dollars is too much compared with other games but is a great deal compared to the cost of a value meal. ### 5/5 — Awesome! *2011-08-10, version 1.52* Great app!!!!!!!!! ### 5/5 — Best yahtzee game out there *2011-07-30, version 1.52* Bar none ### 5/5 — Great app! *2011-04-16, version 1.52* Crispy, clean, easy to use game. Worth every penny! Lots of fun. ### 5/5 — Latest Update Did The Trick! *2011-03-19, version 1.50* The 1.04 update to Five Dice cured the crashing problems I was having. I've supported and donated to this particular developer since Five Dice was on Installer and his customer service has been outstanding! Five Dice is my go-to "idle time" game on my iPhone and I was so happy to see it on the AppStore shortly after the 2.0 firmware upgrade was released. Keep up the good work! A long time later, an update was released to upgrade the icon to retina display and fix the "freezing" bug in 4.x. Thank you! Five Dice plays effortlessly once again! ### 5/5 — Great Game! *2011-03-17, version 1.50* Bought day one of my iPhone 1 experience and still play it often! ### 5/5 — effective *2011-03-17, version 1.50* it's simply and to the point, had it since 2008 and only crashed a few times until I rebooted phone. it may not have the worthless eye catching animations but it's a solid first rate clone without in-app purchases or advertisements. ### 5/5 — Simple *2010-10-23, version 0* Retina display is overrated. This game is great. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/). User reviews are verbatim App Store reviews.
