### 1/5 — Hello

*2024-09-23*

I deleted this after paying for it because I thought I could pass and play with my family, but it only lets you play against the computer, that’s not what I wanted at all,

### 4/5 — Love the game, however it remains unstable and predictable

*2023-02-22, version 3.1*

I play this game, as well as the ad-supported iPhone version a lot. I am a retired disabled Vietnam vet. Often (20%), the game will kick out and return, sometimes with a zero in a space so the game cannot be finished. So I have to start a new game. Because I play it so much, I have noticed sometimes predictable behavior of rolls and that affects what chances I might take; mostly successfully. A full house will come up on the initial roll of a game. If I don’t take it, I often (25%) will get a Yahtzee.  I’m seeking games that seem like replays of previous games. I am happy for the game. For years I played Yahtzee Adventure but as a 32 bit game it was terminated at the transition to 64-bit. I kept an old iPad just to play it but recently that got frozen in place when it “phoned home” and there was no answer. I am able and willing to beta test possible solutions should you desire to pursue that.

### 2/5 — Stupid Update

*2022-11-05, version 3.1*

This game was excellent until the last update.  The dice have suddenly become hideously large.  I hope the programmers will return the dice to the size the were before.

### 4/5 — Good game

*2022-10-16, version 3.0*

Great game
But liked the old brown fours. These new ones glare in your face

### 5/5 — Miss the three game tier

*2022-05-31, version 2.1*

I miss the playing three rounds

### 5/5 — Yahtzee

*2021-10-22, version 2.1*

Great game! So addictive but it freezes up and the only way I can un freeze it is to reboot.  Please fix that issue!  Otherwise, love the game!

### 3/5 — Fun Game But Occasionally Freezes

*2021-07-03, version 1.9*

I’ve enjoyed this game for a while on my iPad. The only problem is that the app will occasionally freeze when I tap Undo.  Luckily, this does not happen very often.

### 5/5 — Best Game Ever!

*2021-07-01, version 1.9*

So much fun! Yahtzee on steroids.

### 2/5 — Loved this game…..but!

*2021-05-31, version 1.9*

Have played this for years and loved it. But with recent IOS update the scores do not stay on the sheet. Have tried anything.

### 3/5 — Weird Glitch!!

*2021-04-24, version 1.9*

I love this version, but now it’s doing this weird glitch where your score is recorded, but you can only see it for a second. Then it disappears! I was able to finish the game blindly. Then it said I won, but I had no idea how! I tried deleting it then downloading it again, & that did not fix the problem! Please fix this issue soon!!
