### 5/5 — Best app

*2023-06-07*

The only app that makes Yahtzee better without paper scorecards. 10/10. Don’t be nervous by the lack of reviews - it’s better than I could have ever designed it.

### 5/5 — Simple but does everything you need

*2023-02-01*

Basically transformed the speed and ease of playing Yahtzee. Can’t think of any improvement required even if you were to pay for it. But you don’t. And it’s genuinely ad-free (no pop ups anyway

### 5/5 — Perfect!

*2023-01-16*

keeps track of 5 players and super easy to use!

### 5/5 — Perfect

*2022-01-03*

Exactly what i needed

### 5/5 — Great App!

*2020-05-19, version 3.1*

Super easy to use, no more manual keeping score or mistakes. I also like how it tracks how far behind you are on the top for the bonus!  BIL (Bonus is Life!) Thanks!

### 5/5 — Great app— enjoying no need for pen/paper

*2020-05-12, version 3.1*

Super easy way to keep score and see what you need in upper section. Highly recommend.

**Developer response:** I got tired of threatening letters from Hasbro about using their trademark Ya*tzee. So I use my own category name but look in Setup where you can change it to anything you like. Enjoy.

### 5/5 — Keeps score!

*2016-04-02, version 3.0*

Awesome! Does exactly what you are looking for and more. Searched on-a-whim and was so happy with the find!

Supports 5 players, calculates score, what else do you need?

Well done! And many thanks!

### 3/5 — Useful, but could be better

*2016-03-26*

Not many Yahtzee scorers out there, and this is one of the better ones... at least functional and easy to use.
For all that, could do with a number of improvements.
 - Why limit to only 5 players?
 - No ability to undo a score captured against the wrong player.
 - No validation of throws vs current scores for current player.
 - Could use some assistance above the line as to whether our total offset against par is behind or ahead of where we need for bonus. (As it is need to do mental arithmetic to figure).

Almost there... with a few easy improvements will be a great little app.

### 5/5 — Awesome app!

*2015-12-26*

This app is wonderfully designed with intuitive, easy to use controls and a nice, readable aesthetic. Mistakes can be quickly reverted (an option many similar scoring apps fail to include) and players are not made to use the app a certain way - the user can operate the app however they see fit with complete freedom. Great attention to detail and superb functionality overall.

### 5/5 — Great app for Yahtzee-ers

*2013-04-02*

This is a great scoring app for Yahtzee players... easy to use, nice simple interface that works well on both iPad and iPhone. Suggest ability to save scores, and a 'Tournament' mode where you can preselect the number of games before you start playing. Would also be nice to have a bit more of a 'finish' - no fanfares or anything, but just something like a 'finish' screen displaying your score (or leaderboard if you're keeping scores for other players, or playing in a Tournament)! Otherwise, a perfect app which has made our evening playing Yahtzee great fun! Just need to remember not to keep trying to find my pen to write down my scores!
