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. ### 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!!! ### 2/5 — Looking for a replacement *2025-11-11, version 3.0.3* Was a great time killer. Latest update and everything is so much slower. Bores me now ### 2/5 — Drop the startup noise! *2025-11-10, version 3.0.3* No soup for you! ### 2/5 — Not What It Was *2025-11-07, version 3.0.3* It used to be great. View was horizontal and big dice easy to see. Now, you updated it and it vertical and small dice hard to see. Very awkward! Will look for a new one. ### 4/5 — Volume problems on iphone *2025-11-04* Hi, i have problems with the sounds of the game on my iphone, the sounds are liyttl bit low. Thanks to check this, thanks! ### 2/5 — If it ain’t broke… *2025-11-01, version 3.0.1* It was great the way it was. Now it’s clunky, doesn’t fit screens well and they screwed around with the buttons. New isn’t always better. Put it back the way it was! ### 5/5 — Great game *2025-07-23* This is a fun game. If you don’t like the pre-set rules you can change them to what you like or are used to from Farkle or other such dice games. It’s fun to play with friends and family. ### 5/5 — What??? *2025-06-23* Ok I REALLY enjoy this game. Then it ads are unnoticeable. Game play is quick and easy to figure out. Enjoying alot so far…… ### 5/5 — Love it, only 1 issue *2025-06-08, version 2.2* Rolling 3 1s can’t be 300 of 3 3s is also 300. ### 5/5 — Game *2025-05-31, version 2.2* I love the game because it will always give me a good challenge ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 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 ### 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. ### 1/5 — Deleted immediately *2026-01-03, version 3.0.3* Waste of time. It’s impossible to beat the computer. No way realistic at all. I deleted within the hour. Don’t waste your time. ### 1/5 — Terrible program. Unrealistic! *2025-10-12, version 2.2* Terrible program. The bot throws outrageous dice whenever you’re far ahead. So unrealistic! ### 1/5 — Can’t bank?!?!? *2025-08-18, version 2.2* Can’t bank?!?!? No point if you can’t bank when you want. ### 1/5 — Farkle *2025-08-13, version 2.2* This game is very flawed. Both rolling and scoring. ### 1/5 — GARBAGE❗️ *2025-08-08, version 2.2* This is a HORRIBLE Farkle game❗️ I downloaded it and after 5 minutes, I deleted it. The programmer DOES NOT KNOW THE ORIGINAL POINT SCORING RULES of Farkle, and thus the game DOES NOT ALLOW YOU TO HOLD ANY DICE TO BUILD A STRAIGHT OR A FULL HOUSE, as Farkle has been played FOR CENTURIES❗️ I have taught all my friends to play Farkle at parties and such with real dice, and THIS GAME is a far cry from any real Farkle❗️❗️❗️ ### 1/5 — Does work *2025-07-17, version 2.2* Try to play and can’t do hold button ### 1/5 — Fun but frustrating *2025-02-17* Many times when I have selected all dice that have points and I only have one “die” left, the game will not allow me to “bank it” forcing me to “throw” the final “die” which, of course, Farkles. This definitely needs to be fixed. Plus the dice roll outcomes are not realistic. The opponent, in most cases, continually get high scores while I get a single five or one and I have to keep rolling which ultimately leads to another Farkle. Yes, your programmers/coders have some work to do to make this a viable game. **Developer response:** The only reason you can't "Bank" would be if you have not met the minimum for getting "on the board". See the help pages. The dice rolls are completely random. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 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!! ### 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! ### 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! ### 5/5 — Fixed *2026-01-24* Phone update automatically locked screen. **Developer response:** You can play in portrait or landscape mode. In landscape mode, the game has not changed from previous versions. ### 5/5 — Great game *2026-01-17* I love this version of the game. You can set the speed and make it run fast, it’s easy to pick which dice you want to keep, you can adjust the rules to your preference, and play against multiple players - computer or other people. Well done! ### 5/5 — If you really just want to play Farkle this is where you do it. *2025-10-25* I’ve bean playing this since before it had a name. And this is how it is done. Just dice, no more, No less ### 5/5 — Better *2025-10-15, version 2.2* Love this game. ### 5/5 — Farkle online *2025-09-18, version 2.2* III LOVE THIS GAME --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
