### 5/5 — Best game ever!

*2026-08-12, version 3.2*

I have played over 5000 games of Farkle on this app. I never get tired of it. I love dice games but the best part of this one is that there are no advertisements and the game is free.

### 5/5 — Fun

*2026-08-03, version 3.2*

This is a fun game and there are no adds and no real people just computers
10/10 recommend people who love Farkle!!

### 1/5 — Not working properly

*2026-07-21, version 3.2*

Ever since the last update it stopped letting you bank your points, only can throw and hold and nothing else. What gives?

### 1/5 — Rigged

*2026-07-17, version 3.2*

Rigged

### 4/5 — Best FARKLE app by FAR!

*2026-06-29*

I was an early user of this app & it remains my favorite of all Farkle apps. 

PROS: super customizable, right down to speed of game, u choose value of every roll & combo, play portrait or landscape (landscape is much easier on older eyes) but switch to landscape only after game is loaded or it will crash

CONS: a couple of combinations are not recognized here (like the value of three pairs is less than triplets, but there are situations where the lower value is added to your score rather than the one you might prefer EVEN WHEN YOU DON’T HIGHLIGHT THE DICE IT WANTS TO COUNT TOWARDS SCORE. Only Dice highlighted should count to your score… Not unhighlighted dice!)  also that crash issue mentioned above, when landscape is chosen, but it hasn’t loaded all the way yet in portrait. That’s been a problem for a long time and should’ve been fixed by now.

*However, I need to write the developer about those 2 issues as they have bothered me for a long time, but everything else is flawless in this game & many regular Farkle players would not even notice the scoring irregularity.

Those are the only reasons this does not get five stars.

✨ Oh, and on my wish list, not a complaint, would be for this to be multiplayer online… That would be a great option, but of course you would have to have default settings be required in a multiplayer mode so that would take some of the customizable options away, but would add a wonderful element to the game.

### 5/5 — Farkle fun

*2026-06-10, version 3.0.3*

Good fun enjoying playing. Well done. This has been a home run.

### 5/5 — Wow!

*2026-04-05, version 3.0.3*

I love this game so very much!

### 1/5 — Over abundance of ads

*2026-03-27, version 3.0.3*

I understand games will have ads, but this game has way too many redundant ads that interfere with the rhythm of the game. Had to uninstall.

### 4/5 — Booooop

*2026-02-11, version 3.0.3*

Love the game but I’d like to play someone real!!! The computer is just a boring competitor!!!

### 5/5 — Can’t stop playing!

*2026-01-31*

This app really does have no ads! I had been playing the game for a little while before I realized no ads had popped up. I’ve never seen one ad. This game is so fun. It’s just like the real version. It’s my new favorite!
