For over 10yrs it was a staple for your family to play while waiting for food at restaurants. The sounds and displays are a lot better though ### 1/5 — New version lost multiplayer *2026-06-18, version 14.0.0* Completely lost Bluetooth play. There is no selection. What happened. Been playing with wife for 2-3 years all of a sinner I have version 4.0 she has 3.07 and we cannot play over Bluetooth. What happened. Only portrait mode. Really bad. ### 1/5 — Used to be fun. Not anymore! *2026-06-15, version 14.0.0* We used to play real players. Not anymore! It’s all bots now making weird moves! The fun is gone! Bye bye!! ### 2/5 — Update stinks *2026-06-14, version 14.0.0* Played this with wife for years now no longer a Bluetooth option So sad I’m reluctant to sign up for a account because I don’t want a bunch of junk e-mails ### 1/5 — update suuuucks *2026-06-14, version 14.0.0* This game was recently updated. It is simply awful now. Pass and play has been eliminated, as well as some of the other games such as Maxi Yahtzee, classic Yahtzee etc. This previously was a standout app with off-line mode and they have ruined it for some reason? Do not download. ### 1/5 — What has happened. *2026-06-14, version 14.0.0* Played Yahtzee for years, just used training mode. Where has it gone? This update seems to have changed everything ### 1/5 — Bug suite MAJ *2026-04-10* Le jeu ne fonctionne plus depuis la mise à jour, il plante sans arrêt. Il doit être connecté en permanence à internet pour fonctionner. **Developer response:** Bonjour supsonik, désolés pour ces problèmes. Veuillez essayer de fermer l'app complètement, redémarrer votre appareil puis rouvrir Yatzy. Si les plantages persistent, essayez de supprimer et réinstaller l'app (vos données sont sauvegardées sur nos serveurs). Le jeu nécessite une connexion internet pour les modes en ligne. Contactez-nous à support@snowballgames.io si le problème continue. ### 1/5 — New Update *2026-04-08, version 13.0.7* I HATE, HATE, HATE this new update! You screwed up Yatzy with your lasted updated. Please fix it. ### 1/5 — Shena *2026-02-20, version 13.0.1* Was great for a while. Was at highest level. Logged in a couple of days ago and 70,000,000 points had disappeared and was dropped back to Newbie level (5000) points. Buddies no longer existed. Contacted support ad NO response. 😒 ### 1/5 — Great Game, Terrible System/Support *2026-02-09* I love playing this form of Yatzy but the maker’s system and app support leave much to be desired. My entire player profile memory disappeared several days ago and I was started over from scratch. My logins through Facebook still work but nearly 10 year history of credits, friends, win/losses/ties etc, has been lost. I sent a message through this channel regarding the issue a couple of days ago but have not received any response. Similar issues have happened before and were equally frustrating. If I do not hear anything from them within the next couple of days, it will be time to part ways. ### 2/5 — Украли деньги *2026-02-06* Пропали из игры все деньги и сам аккаунт. Предлагают начать всё заново. В чем дело ? Верните то, что было **Developer response:** Здравствуйте, пожалуйста, напишите нам на support@snowballgames.io и укажите: ваш игровой никнейм / имя пользователя / email способ входа (email, Facebook, Google или Apple) примерное количество монет, которое у вас было Это поможет нам восстановить ваш аккаунт.

С уважением, Snowball Team ### 1/5 — Après des mois de jeu, tout est perdu *2026-02-05* J’ai joué avec assiduité et plaisir, mais tout a disparu d’un coup, mes points (dont certains que j’avais acheté) mes niveaux, mes amis de jeu . Dégoûtant . Extrêmement déçu . **Developer response:** Bonjour, veuillez nous envoyer un message à support@snowballgames.io en indiquant : Votre nom d’utilisateur / pseudo / email en jeu La méthode de connexion utilisée (email, Facebook, Google ou Apple) Le nombre approximatif de pièces que vous aviez Afin que nous puissions vous aider à restaurer votre compte.

Cordialement, Snowball Team ### 1/5 — Don’t bother *2026-02-05, version 13.0.0* Thank you, your latest tinkering on 5/2/26 just wiped c40m off my account, so won’t be playing this again! ### 1/5 — Nearby Mode removed *2025-09-01, version 12.9.16* I’ve been playing this game for many years using nearby mode. Now that it’s gone, I have no reason to play this game anymore. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Bad update *2026-08-15, version 14.0.1* Not happy that training mode is gone, and that the iPad screen is forced into portrait orientation. I used to enjoy playing against the computer as a form of relaxation. Now the game is useless to me. ### 1/5 — New Update is Terrible *2026-08-11, version 14.0.1* This new update is terrible. I saw how to play solo using challenge but I can’t unlock the other games. Keeps saying I need to play more games. Such a disappointment. ### 1/5 — New update *2026-07-26, version 14.0.1* Really dislike the new update. Lost my years of stats, can’t just play against the computer, what’s up with earning coins and having to start all over playing games enough times to move forward? The new version stinks. ### 1/5 — Greedy money grab *2026-06-30, version 14.0.1* New update is not cool, just a money grab so after many years I am deleting. If you let them take from you they will continue to take ### 1/5 — Upgrade Sucks *2026-06-27, version 14.0.1* Now that there is no training mode this app totally sucks and is worthless now it’s just a money grab update and I will no longer be playing this app anymore what a piss off ### 1/5 — Local Play Killed *2026-06-23, version 14.0.0* We used to love playing this app locally with family. The recent updates removed Training mode which allowed this. The new modes cater to a whole different type of game play which makes it useless to us. Adding modes is one thing. Deprecating core ones seems like a bad decision or massive oversight. Sad to see this go. ### 1/5 — No Upgrade *2026-06-22, version 14.0.0* Says to upgrade game and there is no upgrade in apps…can’t play without upgrade…another fail ### 1/5 — Bad upgrade *2026-06-22, version 14.0.0* First problem is the app is now asking for the upgrade and it was already done and it will not let me play. Keeps bringing me back to the App Store to upgrade. Second the new layout sucks. It was better before on one page and you removed the rematch which really sucks. That’s how you get to know players and see if you want to be buddies. ### 1/5 — Update issues - I am updated and now a screen blocks telling me to update is preventing playing. *2026-06-22, version 14.0.0* I love the game, been playing for years. It’s therapeutic and now with recent update and changes…. I was playing but mine and others who used play and wait had “pre-update” games in play when they finished they just faded but stayed in Que and built up. I just figured you’d fix it since affecting so many. I was afraid to “sign out” and lose YEARS of climbing the ranks. Been there done that with UltimateYahtzee and still grief losing my progress. I did a couple support reports as did others and now the “get the new version green update is blocking playing 🤬 ### 1/5 — Removed local players again! *2026-06-21, version 14.0.0* They removed the bluetooth option for local players again! ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Update? More like downgrade *2026-07-27, version 14.0.1* Ads that launch when choosing to double the reward often never terminate. You have to unmount the game and relaunch it to continue, presumably losing the bonus. The 3x bonus for first bonus of the day is gone. The challenge option of play is on a subordinate page to the main one , rather than on the front page as it used to be - very irritating. It is as if the developer hired a new programmer who had never played the game before. ### 5/5 — Bug suite mise à jour *2026-03-28* Suite à la dernière mise a jour, mon compte a été supprimé avec tout mon historique de jeu et mes points depuis des années!😡 j’ai un compte invité maintenant et je dois recréer un compte et repartir de zéro. Je supprime si cela n’est pas réglé. Update: finalement tout est rentré dans l’ordre et j’ai pu récupérer mon historique et mes points. Merci à toute l’équipe pour votre réactivité Bonne continuation **Developer response:** Bonjour, veuillez nous envoyer un message à support@snowballgames.io en indiquant : Votre nom d’utilisateur / pseudo / email en jeu La méthode de connexion utilisée (email, Facebook, Google ou Apple) Le nombre approximatif de pièces que vous aviez Afin que nous puissions vous aider à restaurer votre compte.

Cordialement, Snowball Team ### 5/5 — Much Better *2026-03-01, version 13.0.3* I have had nothing but issues since the update. It took a few emails, but once snowball games reached out… I had a much better experience. My account was located and I am back up to playing ### 5/5 — Top *2026-02-09* Totalement addictif ! ### 5/5 — Nearby Mode is still available *2025-11-09* After looking through the app, I found that nearby mode is still available but you need to have an account before you see the option. Once you sign into your account, you will see a Bluetooth icon under your profile in the upper left-hand corner. Once you click on that, it’ll search for a nearby players. I’m so glad I found this because I love this game and didn’t want to give up on it. **Developer response:** We're happy to hear that you are now able to play again without any setbacks :) Have fun and if there is anything we can help you with, feel free to email support@snowballgames.io ### 5/5 — Awesome game *2025-09-25, version 12.9.17* Been playing this game for years and still love it, never gets old😊 ### 5/5 — Looking to get out of boredom *2025-07-23, version 12.9.16* This game is well worth the 7.99 I paid for it sooo much fun ### 5/5 — Yatzy Ultimate is a great game *2025-07-12, version 12.9.15* I play it a lot. It pass time. ### 5/5 — Good game *2024-05-14, version 12.7.0* Knock off your control of who wins or loses! ### 5/5 — AMAZING *2023-07-01, version 12.4.0* I LOVE THE WAY IT IS TRUE TO FORM. NO DIFFERENT THAN PLAYING ON A SCORE SHEET. I LOVE IT --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/). User reviews are verbatim App Store reviews.
