Cannot get rid of it. ### 2/5 — Spam *2026-07-22, version 1.8* Add banner brings up “ your Apple ID has been compromised “ charge for $949. Has been flagged. Add banner has probably been hacked. ### 3/5 — Addicting *2026-05-22, version 1.7* Good game ### 5/5 — Original yatzy *2025-10-03, version 1.7* I love the game just need to make the bounes points higher ### 2/5 — Errors Continue-or purposeful *2025-08-12, version 1.7* The app would not allow me to claim my three fives as three of a kind. It also continues to have repeated errors in scoring but not allowing you to select various sections that should be available. I had three 5’s but I was not given the option to use it as a three of a kind. Each time I attempted to use three of a kind it scored as zero. ### 2/5 — Locks up iPhone *2025-08-01, version 1.7* Great game, but iPhone locks up when you try to get out of the game. So had to delete it. ### 5/5 — fun game *2025-06-10, version 1.7* easy, quick and challenging ### 3/5 — Yahtzee bonus *2025-05-12, version 1.7* I love this game Except when the Yahtzee bonus is not consistent There are soo many times I’ll get two Yahtzee in the one game BUT I don’t get the extra 100 points ### 5/5 — Original Yatzy *2025-05-09, version 1.7* Fun! Doesn’t need WiFi and doesn’t use up battery! ### 5/5 — Great game *2025-04-27, version 1.7* This is the best game ever! I would totally recommend! ### 4/5 — Plays Well *2025-04-02, version 1.7* The score board has too many rows making screen real estate tight. I can’t use my ten thumbs on such a tiny board. ### 5/5 — Amazing app! A few suggestions… *2025-01-04, version 1.7* Gosh I love this app… - appreciate the simple user interface. - I’ve played a couple different versions and this one feels the most like real yatzy. - got me through multiple hours on airplanes with kids screaming. - appreciate the single advertisement window off to the side and no popups to harass me. Just a few suggestions: 1. I love the top 10 scores of all time. I feel like adding a worst 10 scores of all time would be great. One time my robot opponent Jessica scored 89 points and I feel like that needs to go on record. 2. When you play with an empty opponent slot, the game doesn’t end. You have to go back to the main menu and manually start a new game. 3. The reset button is right in the middle of the menu and it’s a little too easy to confuse it with “restart” or “new game” and accidentally wipe the game history, which I eventually sadly did. It might be better off hidden a level deeper in the “options” section or something. ### 5/5 — Live it *2024-12-25, version 1.7* Love this game.please fix the bugs.Game is so much fun🌷🥀🌸🌹🌻 ### 5/5 — Great game *2024-12-06, version 1.7* I switched to this game a few weeks ago. The game I have played for years became so glitchy and players that would quit when losing. It’s so refreshing to have a game that always loads up and plays smoothly. You only play a computer opponent but a very fun and smooth running game. ### 4/5 — Glitch in the game *2024-11-25, version 1.6* So basically for example when the other person rolls a yatzy I can click on four of the dice and when it’s my turn I will get those four when it’s my turn and it’s not just for a yatzy but it’s goes for any thing and I don’t have to Click on four dies I could click on three two or one and I will still get the dice I clicked on so if you could please try to fix that so when I play against someone they can’t try to do that to me and besides that bug the game is awesome ### 5/5 — Excellent game, wonderful developer who listens to feedback *2024-11-08, version 1.6* Love this game, I emailed the developers to ask if they could support their ability to listen to musical or audiobooks whilst playing and a couple of days later I got an email confirming they’d completed this with an update released a day later. Can’t ask for better customer care. 5* ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Terrible *2026-08-24, version 1.8* The game has a mind of its own, I have to uninstall and reinstall way too much due to glitches. Not worth the trouble. ### 1/5 — Inappropriate adds *2026-01-09, version 1.7* While playing the game an add for temu selling sex toys repeatedly showed on the playing board. ### 1/5 — I love this game *2025-09-17, version 1.7* I’ve given up on the game. Too many issues too many bugs that are not being addressed. I wish there were a good Yahtzee game that didn’t add extra rolls. This would be good if they could actually fix the issues but not worth my time anymore. ### 1/5 — We *2025-02-25, version 1.7* Rubbish keeps freezing ### 1/5 — No longer works *2024-09-24, version 1.5* The game has crashed and won’t work. I close the app and relaunch but it still freezes. ### 1/5 — I love this game *2024-08-25* The only reason I marked it as a score of three instead of five is because I have so many times when they add scores that are not correct or they freeze. I have an issue with trying to reset the game and game freezes that was fixed, but I’ve been having the same issue for quite a while so I had to reinstall it. The gameplay keeps freezing so I had to downgrade my score. I can’t seem to get through more than a game or two before it freezes and stops working or it will add an extra score of zero to my side so we can complete the game anyways, or will do the same on the other side, I just can’t keep playing that way. It’s not getting any better. They said problems were fixed, but they aren’t. I have had to delete the game and will not play it again until the issues are fixed. I’m playing along and ads scores to my side so it’s lopsided or it deletes the score kick me out. There’s so many issues with this game that it’s not funny I will not be playing again, you fix it until the issues are fixed. It says they were fixed and version 1.5 but it’s not. ### 1/5 — I love this game *2024-08-06* The only reason I marked it as a score of three instead of five is because I have so many times when they add scores that are not correct or they freeze.

They said problems were fixed, but they aren’t. ### 1/5 — Love the game but the glitch isn’t fixed *2024-06-30, version 1.5* I had this and had to delete it because it would suddenly add a zero on my board then just start adding random scores. After that, it would crash. It’s happening again after downloading because I saw that the glitch is “fixed”. The game is updated, so it’s just a bad app. It’s my favorite Yahtzee but it’s not worth the annoyance. ### 1/5 — Could not add friend *2023-10-24, version 1.4* Both myself and my friend could not add each other to the game, deleted 5 minutes after install! ### 1/5 — Why can't it just be random? *2022-12-20, version 1.4* Too many times to be a coincidence, you'll zero out something and the next roll you'll get the category you zeroed out. As an example, I had to zero out "Fives" right after I zeroed out Yahtzee. Guess what my next roll was? You guessed it 5 Fives or Yahtzee! Things like this happen way to frequently to be random. What are the odds? ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Oky by *2026-08-18, version 1.8* ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️✨ ### 5/5 — Can’t reset anymore *2026-08-08, version 1.8* “New Game” doesn’t begin a new game anymore (it used to reset the scores for all players). How can I reset the scores/standings now? Love the game though! ### 5/5 — Fun *2026-07-29, version 1.8* Awesome game ### 5/5 — NA *2026-04-30, version 1.7* NA ### 5/5 — Great game *2026-04-04, version 1.7* A well thought out game I I really enjoy it ### 5/5 — Excellent Game! *2026-01-31, version 1.7* Smooth play, no interruptions! ### 5/5 — Tried many Yahtzee games, this is the best by far *2026-01-07, version 1.7* This game includes solo, computer opponent, and multiple player options. Attractive UI, smooth game play, and excellent record keeping. Totally free, with the least intrusive ads I've ever seen. Truly a joy to play. ### 5/5 — Fix the glitches!! *2025-12-18, version 1.7* I love this game, but it’s always glitching. Same predictable rolls, yellow lines lighting up on scores then you have to UNDO them and sometimes autofills with “0” so you’ve lost that score & have to start new game! It’s getting worse and worse. ### 5/5 — One problem *2025-11-06, version 1.7* Random 0 appears in a box and causes players to start game over. Hoping for a solution soon. 🙏 ### 5/5 — Enjoy *2025-11-04, version 1.7* I enjoy --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
