Many bugs (used to work fine)
Developer, you did not understand my review when you replied to it. I know they are all separate games. In the past I played them before and they all worked fine. They don’t now. Only the regular game works. The rest don’t.
For example in the Thai game it no longer letting me pick the sum. So that’s a bug. Not me. It’s the game not working.
I’m no longer interested in this game and will not be replying further.
Prior review:
I recently re-downloaded this game on my newer phone because I used to have it and it worked perfectly. The Classic mode still works perfectly. However there are math bugs in other modes. For example, in the Thai mode, you are supposed to be able to pick just one of the dice, or their sum total. But it won’t always let you pick the sum total. On my first roll, for example, I rolled double sixes. All boxes were still open, so I should have been able to choose 12. But when I tried to select two boxes adding up to twelve, it said try again. It did this with other valid rolls too. Same kind of thing happened in the Doubles mode too. It wouldn’t let me pick a valid move when I tried to play this mode. It also had math errors in odd and even modes. I’d click on valid moves and they wouldn’t register. A couple times it even let me click non-valid moves. Also, for some reason, if I tilt my phone elements on the board tilt in a visually weird way. This never used to happen. Classic mode is fine, other than the tilting issue, but this game doesn’t work like it used to. I was going to buy coins (optional) but now I’m not. Unfortunately I’m deleting the game. If it ever gets fixed I may try again. iPhone 12, iOS 16.3.

We would be happy to test it with you if you share your contact info with us. Here is our contact email: ekiapps.khmelevsky@gmail.com We are not able to recreate anything that you’ve described. Thai game allows both sum or one of the dice numbers. For sum it needs to be a single number, however. For example, in a Thai game if you roll 3 and 6, then you can close 9 (sum) or either 3 or 6 but not both 3 and 6. Again, contact us and we would review it with you at your convenience. If you are really set on not doing, then please request a refund and delete it. However, we have thousands of users and no one is reporting it that is why we would like you to contact us. There is no Classic mode vs Thai mode. They are all separate games. Thai game is the only game where you can choose 1 dice or the sum. Every other game including Double Box requires you to pick sum. So, these are not bugs. This is how each game is supposed to be played. All games have worked like that from the beginning (10 years and counting). You will notice that when you select each game there is a yellow line under the button to show you which game you are currently playing. I think it is an interesting suggestion to play each game as if it is a Thai game and I will look into it next but I want to make sure that you have an accurate picture that today these are separate games and only Thai game with 9 tiles allows you to pick 1 dice or sum. I hope your change your review based on this information because these are not bugs.
Awesome game! Developer was helpful.

Weak graphics, Weak help, and Rude Developer
Response from developer
This is yet another modified review from the same troll who complained about limited “help” options that had nothing to do with the gameplay and gave the app 1 star rating. Now this troll is back with another review because he/she is offended at our suggestion that if not happy, then delete the game and get a refund. Review is biased and completely made up. It was already flagged to Apple as fraudulent.
Best Shut the Box!
Works after updates.
UPDATE: Developer message said I could shut betting off so I could play the game. So I re-downloaded it and it works great.
