### 1/5 — NO SUPPORT

*2025-05-29, version 9.21*

UPDATE: Over a year and nothing changed
NO SUPPORT
NO SUPPORT
NO SUPPORT
.......

Sent a note continuously for 6 months asking why you keep telling me to pay when I already paid years ago... got NO REPLY!!

 So now it’s been 15 months & nothing has been fixed... You really stink at customer support. If I could give minus stars on your review it would get lower every day. You need to validate my account properly and STOP begging for money which I PAID OVER 3 years ago. Hitting restore lasts for a few hours then the begging begins again.

April 2021 same problem continues for another year. Updating app has not helped. Uninstalling and reinstalling made no change EXCEPT I lost my chats!

Years later now.... never got a reply

### 4/5 — Yatzy World

*2025-01-05, version 9.21*

I’ve enjoyed this very fun and interesting game since 2014..my only issue is they need to provide more updates to fix gaming issues for software. I.E.-viruses, hackers, and those whom like to just sabotage the system. Always a nuisance, otherwise very enjoyable

### 5/5 — 10 years

*2024-08-15, version 9.20*

I’ve been playing almost every day for 10 years! I play with family members, even my cousin.

### 3/5 — Programming

*2024-08-05*

I’ve been a member since 2014. My wins losses rating is 51.6%. I understand gaming is circumstantial at best, however, I find it extremely frustrating I don’t have my share of wins on last rolls..I.E.-especially when only needing one particular # on the dice to carry a win & NOT roll just ONE of that #!?. Am I to believe it has to do with paying the premium $ to Yahtzee? For ad protection etc.? Besides, I’ve played at or above just 50% rating forever. My assumption is pay or play at this % forever? The winner of EVERY game is predetermined prior to the 1st roll of every game. A 10 yr’d player whose very competitive(understands the strategy) outta have a 55-60% win ratio. I’m ok with losing, what I’m not ok with is losing 80-90% on last rolls!

### 5/5 — The best ever

I love this game.  There are 3 types of Yahtzee…all different but fun.  I paid a small one time fee to have zero ads forever.  There are even some other games on the app to explore!!

### 5/5 — Yatzy World Review

### 5/5 — My review

*2023-03-01, version 9.18*

This game is so addictive, I love playing this and is so relaxing. I can’t play one day without playing it and love playing against my friends on there. It’s rewarding as you slowly work your way up to God.
