### 4/5 — Love it

*2020-06-23, version 1.1*

Why won’t the game let me upgrade to premium, anyone?

### 2/5 — This has so many bugs they crawl out of the keyboard.

*2017-07-14, version 1.1*

This will play fine for a while but then you start to see the bugs... 
for example:
- when paying the computer if the game decides to zero the Yacht but then gets 5 in a row on another throw the game freezes.
- at times it will decide 2 - "3's" a 4, 5, and a 6 is a High Straight. 
- to many others to go through them al here.

There are better versions.

### 2/5 — Annoying But Free

*2011-01-23*

This game is an ok time-waster -- if you don't mind constant reminders that this version isn't free via annoying interruptions of play with launches into the iTunes app program so you can upgrade to the pay version, and mysterious launches of the high score window on Safari. (A nefarious way to collect data or an innocent bump of the button?  Unknown but I'm suspicious).  The graphics are primitive and there is no way to play another person (just the computer).  So if you don't mind possible somebody collecting your personal data and shameless hucksterism, download away!

### 1/5 — Are you joking

*2011-01-03, version 1.0*

With a two player option you would except to have the option of playing against another person... Having a computer only option for player two had me deleting this faster then I could say YACHT!

### 5/5 — Great game

*2010-12-23*

The game works like the small handheld ones but u can see the screen on this one. Good job

### 1/5 — How disapointing

*2010-11-11, version 0*

I purchased Yacht HD, this version of the game has 2 options, play against the computer or watch the computer play against itself!  Who wants to pay 4.99? To watch the computer play against itself?  Then they come out with Yacht Deluxe HD, where you can add other human players for another 4.99 (instead of just a free upgrade like other apps).  You're better off with "ROLL IT", it cost less and offers more in actual game play.

### 1/5 — Ummm...

*2010-11-10*

It's only one player
