### 4/5 — Better than the “real” thing

*2023-10-04*

Update: I have knocked my rating down from 5 to 4 stars because recently the game has been persistently nagging me to connect to Game Center. I have no interest in Game Center, but can’t find a way to tell the game to just leave me alone about it! Otherwise, my original review below from 6 years ago stands:

Forget the garbage official Yahtzee games on the App Store that bury the actual game in obnoxious distractions. This is the true game, pure and simple, with a bunch of great options to customize the experience (which you’ll probably want to do — the default settings need some tweaks), and no extra junk you don’t need. I’m 43, and my Yahtzee-loving mom is about to turn 70. We both used to like an official version that wasn’t updated to work with iOS 11. Neither of us can stand what that game has become. I tipped my mom off to this game instead and she took to it immediately! Pay to remove the ads (it’s worth it, and the developer deserves it) and enjoy.

### 4/5 — Yahtzee done right

*2022-08-07, version 1.10.4*

Everything about this app is great. Good design it works equally well on the iPad and my tiny-screened SE. no stupid unnecessary features and the design looks nice. Gameplay is intuitive. My only complaint is the occasional unexpected pop up ad with sound that makes me close it in a hurry. The little banner ad at the top is fine. But I would happily pay to go ad-free.

### 4/5 — Good App

*2021-09-14, version 1.10.4*

This was a great game to play until it got connected to Game Center. Game Center has become a nuisance to the game

### 5/5 — Great solo game

*2020-05-10, version 1.10.2*

Looking for a Yahtzee game I could play by myself and this is it! Plays the game the way it should be played without all the ADS! There is a small ad at the top that does not hinder game play and for $1.99 you can have it removed. This is Yahtzee without all the bells and whistles. Just what I was looking for! Thanks!

### 5/5 — Great Game

*2020-05-01, version 1.10.2*

Simple game. 
Great brain exercise. 
Fun

### 5/5 — The BEST Yahtzee in the App Store

*2020-04-19, version 1.10.2*

This version of Yahtzee is far and away the best version in the App Store. It looks great and has a lot of customization options, so you can play with custom rules that you might be used to. It’s definitely worth the money to get the upgrade and eliminate the ads, but they’re not intrusive, so you can let them run at the bottom of the screen if you like. 

Go ahead and get this, and for a unique variation, get Hizee by the same developer. It’s like Yahtzee, but there are some twists that give it even more strategy.

### 5/5 — Excellent

*2019-10-07, version 1.10.2*

This is a great game. I rate it with 5 stars.

### 5/5 — Played as a kid growing up

*2019-09-18, version 1.10.2*

Played the traditional game as a kid growing up, fun to have it available on my phone now.  Great way to pass spare time waiting in grocery store lines, at the Doctors office, etc.

### 5/5 — Far and away the best Yahtzee app for iOS

*2019-05-08, version 1.10.2*

Nice, clean, simple UI without unnecessary bells and whistles. Clear game play, and at only 5.5MB, it's one of the smallest too. The only problem I've found: sometimes when waiting for an add to load, the whole game lags.

### 5/5 — Yazee

*2019-04-23, version 1.10.2*

Great game! Quick and easy to play without too many extra things that distract from the game.

### 4/5 — I love it!

*2019-03-06, version 1.10.2*

I don’t have glitches like some games and the app is very fast too. Only complaint is I think the last couple of rounds seem to be set up for failure. Almost every time.

### 5/5 — Fun

*2019-01-27, version 1.10.2*

Fun for hours!!!!

### 5/5 — Yahtzee

*2019-01-05, version 1.10.2*

Love this game, been playing this as the board version for many years, this is much easier.

### 5/5 — Yazee

*2018-11-29, version 1.10.2*

What a great fun game!

### 5/5 — Best single player Yazee game on App Store

*2018-11-24, version 1.10.2*

Simple, clean UI. Decent amount of settings to customize play style. Statistics. Single in-app purchase to remove ads; not trying to milk you for more. Would love a multiplayer option with this one and would happily pay for it.

### 5/5 — Yazee

*2018-10-02, version 1.10.2*

Cool app if you like the original Yatzee game. I tried others and this is the best. No nonsense, it scores for you so you can just focus on your rolls and get more games in with little time. No commercials that block your screen! Great job!

### 1/5 — PLEASE stop with the annoying Game Center bags

*2023-11-01, version 1.10.4*

This is a 5-star game, but I am hoping to get the developer’s attention here. I do not use Game Center, I do not want to use Game Center. But every other time I fire up the game I have to click through annoying nags to connect my Game Center account.

If there’s a way in the settings to stop this, please make it more obvious. And if there’s not, please add one. I’d like to restore my rating to 5 stars.

### 1/5 — Scam adds

*2021-07-25, version 1.10.4*

They run adds on here scam money out of people.

### 1/5 — Stupid game

*2017-11-14, version 1.10*

I played it just one time and let me tell you I am not impressed at all. There are such better games out there than this one going to have to give you a thumbs down.

### 1/5 — The logarithm is flawed

*2017-11-10, version 1.10*

Once you hit full house it plays an obvious screw you game.

### 1/5 — Utter Rubbish

*2015-06-03, version 1.5*

I really cannot understand why anyone would make a dice game where there is nothing random about it. Basically when you are left needing whatever number it is, the coding is set up so that number never appears. This renders the whole game useless as the chance element has been removed.
Avoid this tat as there are so many other better games out there

### 1/5 — .99 $ to remove adds till the end of the year

*2012-11-24, version 1.3*

.99 $ to remove adds till the end of the year??? I dont think so amigo

### 1/5 — Oh dear

*2012-01-05, version 1.0*

This is lame. A truly bland version of a truly great game. What a pity.

### 2/5 — Dice are NOT random

*2020-11-01, version 1.10.4*

Game would be much better if the dice were actually random. In this game they are anything but random.

### 2/5 — Dice don't seem random

*2016-03-22, version 1.8*

Clean and well designed interface with useful features like hints and game rules. Unfortunately the dice seem skewed, perhaps to encourage you to pay for the "loaded dice" addon. For example, rerolling one of the dice twice frequently does not change its number, although the fair odds of this are only 1/36 it seems to happen way more often than once every 36 rounds...

### 3/5 — Fast game

*2020-06-07, version 1.10.4*

Plays easy and it is speedy

## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated)

### 5/5 — Simple

*2025-02-27, version 1.10.4*

A very simple version and not crowed with upgrades that distract from playing. Like it a lot!

### 5/5 — Great game

*2023-12-04, version 1.10.4*

I play this game everytime I have a few spare minutes, great thing to do on limited spare time

### 5/5 — Fun way…..

*2023-03-20, version 1.10.4*

….to pass the time

### 5/5 — It’s Grrrreat!

*2021-05-09, version 1.10.4*

Perfect pastime! I completed >10,000 games & had to reset my statistics when I upgraded my phone.  App support from developer is best ever. He is quick to respond and his responses & suggestions are very comprehensive. 
Great game.

### 5/5 — Great Game

*2021-05-09, version 1.10.4*

Always easy to jump in and play! Love that it keeps your stats at such a detailed level.

### 5/5 — Yazee

*2020-11-24, version 1.10.4*

Beau jeu de réflexion.

### 5/5 — It’s

*2020-08-24, version 1.10.4*

Simple, fun and nice~

### 5/5 — Yahtzee. Simple and fun.

*2020-08-16, version 1.10.4*

The official Yahtzee apps are filled with ways to connect to social media and monetize via ads. It’s the worst.

This app is Yahtzee in all its simple and fun glory.

### 5/5 — No political ads

*2020-08-13, version 1.10.4*

I just wanted a simple Yahtzee game that didn’t run all the crazy political ads! My time playing is to get away from the craziness! Easy to play and a good distraction.

### 5/5 — Great game! Simple to play!

*2020-08-03, version 1.10.4*

I grew up playing Yahtzee with pencil and paper for score keeping. Most of these games have bastardized the originals. This developer didn’t. He respected the simplicity and originality of the game. I appreciate and respect his integrity. 

I enjoy playing this game. It is fun and relaxing. Thank you for keeping it real!
