### 3/5 — Great game

*2026-06-05, version 4.3.1*

Great game but the length of the ads before you can start playing is ridiculous. I give up and move on to another game instead of sitting through watching ads for other games

### 3/5 — ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ

*2026-02-22*

친구랑 게임하려다가 광고만 5000개 보고 게임 0판 함

### 1/5 — 유저.어딨음.

*2025-10-02*

매칭이 안된다.무한 기다림의 굴레

### 1/5 — УЖАСНО

*2025-09-05, version 4.3.0*

Своим существованием это приложение портит отличную игру! 

Удалитесь. Не позорьтесь.

### 3/5 — No way to restore my paid version

*2025-08-30, version 4.3.0*

I paid for the ad-free version. Suddenly with the latest update, I am getting a ton of ads. I finally found a hidden link to restore purchases, but when I clicked I got a message that said “nothing to restore” - which is patently false because I still have my paid receipt. No way to report the problem to the developer: the app support button leads you to a marketing page that has NO contact info. Been dealing with this mess for a few days now and haven’t been able to play a single game. Used to be my favorite game app; now I feel screwed over. 

Updating six weeks later after reading the developer’s response: I gave you a second chance tonight and re-downloaded the game. BUT I STILL CAN’T restore purchases. Still getting ads when I paid for ad-free. Still feeling screwed over, and now feeling like you lied to me.

### 1/5 — Cannot restore paid version (ad-free)

*2025-07-22, version 4.3.0*

Have enjoyed this game for years with the paid option for ad-free. Unfortunately, as of recently, I get ads and restoring purchases does nothing. 

I cannot recommend this app unless the ability to restore paid options (specifically ad-free) is fixed/returned.

### 1/5 — Pub

*2025-07-15, version 4.3.0*

Si vous voulez que le monde arrête de jouer à votre jeu c’est un excellent moyen!!!! Les pub sont harcelantes et beaucoup trop longue !!!!!

### 1/5 — Was fun

*2025-07-12, version 4.3.0*

Played this game daily for a long time. Really like the UI. I had the ad free version and that went away on last update. Too annoying to bother with now.

### 1/5 — No way to restore my paid version

**Developer response:** Dear user, thank you for your comment, the issue has been resolved, please install the latest update for the game.

### 1/5 — Worst update of any app

*2025-07-11, version 4.3.0*

Today’s update prevents me from playing, just plays a video advertising some other game.  I am not here for YOUR advertising pleasure … you’re FIRED!!  Deleting app

### 1/5 — Illegal ads

*2025-07-11, version 4.3.0*

I paid extra to avoid getting ads but now while overseas find that I’m getting ads again. Why has this happened?

### 1/5 — Paid for this app and now has annoying ads.

*2025-07-10, version 4.3.0*

Paid for this app years ago and now has annoying ads. No longer enjoyable to use with ads.

### 1/5 — More than 10 years…

*2025-07-07, version 4.3.0*

For more than 10 years I have played this but it just recently updated and now there are multiple  ads for every little thing. Such a shame. I’m not paying a subscription for something that has been free for all this time. I have played well over 10,000 games and now this. Really makes me angry this was my favorite game, I played every single day. Time for a new one I guess…

### 3/5 — Publicité

*2025-07-06, version 4.3.0*

Cela ne me dérange pas de payer le jeux pour ne pas avoir de publicité.

### 4/5 — Where’s my profile picture?

*2025-05-21, version 4.2.1*

I had a my own cartoon profile picture for years and now suddenly got this standard cartoon girl there instead. Why can’t I use my own profile picture?

### 4/5 — *********

*2025-04-14*

********

### 1/5 — Rubbish crashes at every opportunity

*2024-12-14, version 4.1.5*

Don’t waste your time even if it’s free.   Crashes.

### 1/5 — Where has my add-free version gone?

*2024-11-11, version 4.1.5*

App saturated in rubbish ads aimed at getting people to buy and pay for games they don’t want. All at the price of taking your data for free.

### 3/5 — Single Player Option

*2024-08-24, version 4.1.5*

Was a great app, the best, but last update eliminated single player.  Bring back a single player option.

### 1/5 — Paid for this app and now has annoying ads.

*2026-07-28, version 4.3.1*

Paid for this app years ago and now has annoying ads. No longer enjoyable to use with ads.

### 1/5 — Con

*2026-05-26, version 4.3.1*

Supposed to have no ads but there is a strip along the bottom that will not go away

### 1/5 — Just wrong!

*2026-05-22, version 4.3.1*

So I purchased this app years ago, and now I have ads so bad I can’t even play the game. It now requires a monthly fee but I purchased it when it was a one time fee. Whatever!! That’s just wrong. If you are going to change the agreement give me my original fee back!!! Guess I’ll be finding a different Yatzy game. Ugh too bad because I really liked this one.

### 1/5 — Yatzy

*2026-02-25, version 4.3.1*

You need to add a Resume button to your app
This game sucks every time I put the game down and pick up again it resets on me

### 1/5 — App disconnects from game

*2026-02-20, version 4.3.1*

When playing a multiplayer game the app will forfeit the game if you close the app, get a low battery warning, or if you accidentally force touch the side of the screen. It’s a great app otherwise but after dealing with the disconnects it’s becoming tiring and I’ll have to find an alternative.

### 1/5 — Failures and changes

*2026-02-05, version 4.3.1*

I’m extremely unhappy with the no ads purchase option. I’ve been subscribed for many months, but I am still getting ads if I don’t use my points to stop them for 3 days.  I should not be getting them at all.  One of the things we were told to do was to delete the game and reinstall it.  I did that and it did not fix the problem.  What it did do, however, is prevent me from being able to have four pass and play family members.  Instead, I can have two, including myself, and two robot players.  I need the four family member option.  Very unhappy.

### 1/5 — Yatzy

*2026-01-23, version 4.3.1*

You need to add a Resume button to your app

### 1/5 — Trop de pub!

*2025-12-30, version 4.3.1*

J’avais acheté la version payante pour ne plus avoir de pub depuis un bon moment ce qui était correct, mais maintenant les pub sont de retour sans raison. En plus elles sont interminables. Je lui cherche un remplaçant.

### 1/5 — Paid for no ads. Now ADS!!

*2025-11-10, version 4.3.1*

Game RUINED!!This used to be one of the best Yahtzee games on iOS. Paid for the ad free experience and enjoyed my purchase. Now with the latest update ADs Everywhere and new in game currency. Deleting immediately!

### 1/5 — Yatzy, not enjoyable anymore

*2025-10-07, version 4.3.0*

I am sick and tired of this app advertising other games. I purchased this app and do not care about any other games. Furthermore, there isn’t any way to contact the owner. He has reported he has taken care of these issues, but clearly he hasn’t.

### 5/5 — Love this

*2024-01-27, version 4.1.5*

I’ve had this app since 2016 and still consistently play. My husband and I always bring it out when we’re on transport, or waiting for food to arrive at restaurants (loser pays the bill) it’s enjoyable and easy to play. Thanks for all the fun times over the years! We will continue to play as long as it’s available :)

### 5/5 — Top mais…

*2022-10-09*

Bravo aux développeurs. Agréable à jouer, manque juste un peu de personnalisation des personnages ou des tapis ou des dés par exemple.
Bonne continuation
