### 2/5 — What Happened?

*2026-07-21, version 14.0.3*

One day I’m playing my favorite game (which i have played daily for years). Go to play it this morning and now completely different. Suddenly i’m a Newbie, All my coins deleted, and now must play so many games before i can advance to game i want. I played the amount of games required (3) but it never lets me get to the game i want. So disappointed.

### 3/5 — Terrible update

*2026-06-27, version 14.0.1*

Removed Revenge option and other features. New sound effects are annoying.

### 4/5 — Werbung ungünstig

*2026-06-26*

Ich hab nichts dagegen, dass nach einem Spiel Werbung kommt, aber wenn ich mit demselben Partner nochmal spiele und er schneller zurück ist, läuft meine Zeit schon, während ich noch in der Werbung stecke. Das ist sehr ärgerlich, wenn man msn unverschuldet unter Zeitdruck steht.
Ansonsten top. Die beste Yatzy App die ich kenne.

### 1/5 — Куда делся режим тренировки?!

*2026-06-23*

После обновления просто нет режима тренировки. Нет!!!

### 1/5 — Removal of local play

*2026-06-20, version 14.0.0*

Removed local play in the latest update used it to play against my partner locally

### 1/5 — Where Did Offline Play Go?

*2026-06-19, version 14.0.0*

Played this game offline with my wife for 4+ years now suddenly everything is about online play and coins. 🙁

### 1/5 — Why?

*2026-06-18, version 14.0.0*

No more 3X or 100% (1x a day).

### 3/5 — Liste de joueurs indésirables

*2026-06-17, version 14.0.0*

Dommage que nous n’ayons pas la possibilité de mettre certains joueurs en retrait comme ça ce fait dans d’autres jeux

### 1/5 — Ruined the Game

*2026-06-17, version 14.0.0*

You used to be able to play solo in any of the three modes Yahtzee, American Yahtzee and Ultimate, but they are gone. Now you are forced to play mini games that aren’t interesting that are only created to make you buy coins. Don’t waste your time if you actually want to play Yahtzee!

### 1/5 — Ruined in version 14.0.0

*2026-06-16, version 14.0.0*

Version 14.0.0 introduced an “improved” menu, which they advertised as modernizing the application. However, they seem to have forgotten the most important mode during this “streamlining”.

The Practice mode, a mode in which the user plays against themselves, computers, or others locally, was removed with this update. This was how I played Yahtzee with my family on my phone for years, passing the phone around the table.

Suspiciously, this is the only mode in which their purchasable currency were not used, which leads me to believe that this is intentional as a way to push their game modes that involve said currency.

The website still advertises this game as having this feature. “[…] use it as a pocket board game for game nights.”
This is not possible, with the only non-online modes revolving around single player modes in which you bet purchasable coins on how well you will do.

To keep the integrity of the game, and the players who don’t spend money happy, please add practice mode back.

### 1/5 — New ultimate lite

*2026-06-16, version 14.0.0*

Hate it! Loved the old. Played ultimate Yahtzee and can’t get to it now because you have to go through the basic.

### 1/5 — RUINED THIS GAME

*2026-06-16, version 14.0.0*

I have had this game downloaded for YEARS and it has always been my favorite game. Now I randomly open it and I can’t play against the computer or any of my friends or family in person anymore. You have completely lost me as a customer for this and ALL of your other games for now and in the future!

### 3/5 — Training mode missing.

*2026-06-16, version 14.0.0*

If you don’t bring back training mode, I will delete this game. 😇

### 1/5 — Latest update ruined it

*2026-06-16, version 14.0.0*

No offline mode now; no training mode.  I deleted app i had for years and years

### 1/5 — Why, why, why?!?!?

*2026-06-15, version 14.0.0*

Why are you try to fix something that is not broken?!?! Been playing for years and it was fun but now you can’t play offline or with your family…

### 1/5 — You ruined this game for me!

*2026-06-14, version 14.0.0*

I have played this game forever and all of a sudden it is a different game.  What happened.  I always played the “training” mode against the computer.  Now that option is gone and I am no longer logged in.  How can I get my favorite game back?

### 2/5 — Play on mute

*2026-06-14, version 14.0.0*

The latest update changed the sounds in the game and now I don’t want to play. The new sounds are horrible to listen to. Even others in earshot asked me to turn it off. Please revert back or make an option to revert back to the other relaxing sounds.

### 1/5 — Nick

*2026-06-14, version 14.0.0*

I want the old game where I was playing with against the computer

## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated)

### 1/5 — Disappointed

*2026-08-18, version 14.0.4*

Why Portrait mode  is no more possible

### 1/5 — Why did you ruin a good game

*2026-08-04, version 14.0.3*

It used to be a great game to play with my wife, until the game made it difficult to set up and find my partner to play a simple game. There are other games so deleting this one.

### 1/5 — Pass and play gone

*2026-07-19, version 14.0.3*

Had this app for years. It’s now gone with this complete 180 update. Unfortunate.

### 1/5 — Unnecessary Upgrade

*2026-07-19, version 14.0.3*

I like the previous version. Playing against other players was an option not forced on the player. Where all levels could be played now you have to earn right to play those levels. Bad design.

### 1/5 — Ruined the App

*2026-07-01, version 14.0.1*

Dev’s ruined the app by inserting AI bots into online play for no reason

### 1/5 — Too many ad’s

*2026-07-01, version 14.0.1*

Would have given it a 5 star, but too many ad’s.
The ads are ridiculously looooooong!

### 1/5 — ?

*2026-06-30, version 14.0.1*

I loved this game, I like playing alone or with computer..but now I can’t.. I can’t even play since I’m not even able to get on. So after many years of playing I’m looking for a new game. :(

### 1/5 — No Bluetooth, no landscape

*2026-06-26, version 14.0.1*

Going backwards, now I cannot play no Bluetooth or WiFi to play with some one in same room. Awful

### 1/5 — Plus accès au mode entraînement

*2026-06-24*

Dans cette nouvelle version je n’ai plus accès au mode entraînement avec le jeu. En plus l’affichage est uniquement en mode portrait et plus en mode paysage : si c’est un but il faut le corriger 
J’ai téléchargé et payé la version payante et ce n’est pas mieux . Que faire, ce jeu nous plaisait trop avant ….

### 1/5 — Disappointing Update

*2026-06-23, version 14.0.1*

I played this game every day for years - loved it! Then came the recent update that completely stripped out the parts of the game that I enjoyed the most. The Training games are gone and there is no similar replacement. Now, I have completely stopped playing.

### 5/5 — Pubs !

*2026-07-10*

Pubs trop longues qui débordent sur le lancement de ma partie et me font perdre sans jouer.

### 5/5 — Been playing for years!

*2026-06-18, version 14.0.0*

Great game … lot of modes.  But last update took away the “triple” prize for the first win of the day.   Now it’s only double.   Sad ☹️

### 5/5 — Beth

*2026-03-14, version 13.0.4*

Had this game for years now. Only occasional glitches fixed relatively quickly. I love the play and wait feature, been playing these games with the same people for years as well. All in all it’s my favorite gaming app to date. While other games have come and gone this one has remained for years and years. Love it!
