Player Experience Highlights
Community Insight:
Ive played with a few and we like this one the best because we can customize the scoring.
Its great for breaking the ice at parties- random airplane.
We love this game and have loved it since its release. We think the odds alternate so its pretty fair. If anything it just gives us something to look at when Im bored. Once you get the gist, its chance not strategy. Much love.
The screen for the newest update is very small. How can we make it larger.
With the last update the game play area does not fill the screen of an iPhone 12. Please fix this.
With the new update the display size is much smaller and doesnt utilize all of the screen space. Please change back to original size.
Animation and everything is fine, but if you play against the computer, the odds are skewed too heavily against you. The computer will have roll after roll of over 1000 points, and if somehow you manage to get ahead, the computer will score two thousand plus points to take the lead again. Its no fun if you always lose.
We have never seen a game cheat as much as this game. Amazing how it catches up at the end. Example: we finished with a score of 10800. The computer had 6900. It rolled and rolled and rolled until it had 11050. No big point rolls. Just normal rolls pulling out a one or five on the last die each time. One in a million chance. We dont mind getting beat. But these dice are loaded. No more.
Its just not realistic to believe that the computer will get three of the same number on just about every turn. Even the players turns can have an overabundance of lucky rolls, but not near as many as the computer. We deleted the game, whats the point in playing if its really not fair play.
Dont buy. Please dont download and especially dont buy. They took our money and literally have zero support. Hyperlink to support. Total joke. Embarrassing. We cannot connect to friends or anybody around us. Does not work. A month of trying to make this work on a regular basis. After paying for the app Totally cool guys. You made money and you launched a piece of crap. Father of four sons. All have launched apps. Embarrassed for you and whomever held you accountable to being an honest entrepreneur.
The scoring isnt accurate; we had four 2s and it gave us 400 points. There are other issues, but we downloaded this game to play with a friend across network, but the option is grayed out.
Entertaining game for one player. Multi player function lets you play anywhere. Great support with quick response time.
This is a fun simple game that has a nice western theme to it. It has game variations you can set, we would like to see more options but there are 90% of the scoring options we like. Great game, adds are not bothersome, we do recomend.
We have decided that this game is back to its old ways of never letting anyone win. This happened a lot when we first started using it and we reviewed the game and gave same review – not fun when you never win – and we did hear back and for a couple of years it was good…but in the last six months it is awful. No fun when you RARELY have a chance to win. Going to try one of the other games.
We have enjoyed this app for years and have the sound muted. In the last year the ads are not muted and are VERY loud. Very embarrassing in public. Have stopped playing. Too bad.
When you play against the cpu the rolls are so fast theres no way to see what the comp scored. There score just totals up at the bottom and its players roll again. Not fun.
We really enjoy this game, but there is a glitch when you have four of a kind that isnt a five or one. It will only allow you to get three of the four. Ive reported this a number of times in the past few months, but no fix/ update. Also, the scores seem low, as four ones should be more than just 400 points, as getting four of a kind is more difficult/ should be higher value. Id buy the game if the four of a kind was fixed, but they dont seem concerned with fixing glitches so Im not going to invest in the game.
If we roll 4 6s its 1200…thats correct….but if the 2 other dice are playable, like 2 5s, the score drops to 750 instead of going to 1300…..then we cant get the extra spin.
We ha e this three stars because the AI could use some work. The rate of turns from the AI the frequently exceed 2000-3000 points is amazing. We will constantly get turns that struggle to break 400 points while the AI seemingly roles 6 scoring dice like nothing. We once broke 10000 and had a comfortable lead of more than 2500 point to the next closest player and when all three NPCs had their turn we were in last place with the winning NPC rolling more than 4000 points. Great game but it needs work.
Ones and fives come up 80% of the time. Especially on first roll. Tiresome.
It's probably the best mobile Farkle game you can find, but the AI is way too "lucky". Sometimes, if your lucky, you can win, but the AI opponents get 3,000 point rolls regularly, and it gets annoying.
No matter how far ahead we are in the game… The computer usually seems to win. This needs to be fixed so its fairer to the game player. Why play a game that it will never hardly ever let you win fairly. The random number generator for the dice really needs to be looked at very carefully, please. Thanks for listening.
Farkle but we have yet to get an opponent that isnt local. You cant play other games while you wait for an opponent notification because it CLOSES the window. Also the 4 of a kind issue as stated above. Also ONLY Billy The Kid is local even though Ive requested more players. We could go on and on. Feleting app choosing another.
Our husband and we are trying to play and we cant play network. It doesnt give us the option.
If you play the computer, it tends to get very lucky. Especially if you beat the computer twice in a row, you will not win a third time. There are some games you just have to laugh at how lucky the computer is.
This new version holds the connection between players over the internet reliably now. Be sure to email us if you see any issues.
The ads cover the bottom of the screen and then pop up in between games. Advertising is one thing but these are just annoying. We also agree that it's rigged. Every time we score a massive round, the AI player seems to do the same thing. You'll never win by a large margin because the computer won't allow it. One star and the app gets deleted. It's simply not fun.
It is a fun game until the bingo add comes up. For some reason when the bingo add pops up we can't exit out of it and have to delete the game and reinstall. Please fix.
Good play and a nice distraction. We never can play anyone on the network. Is it down or are there no players? No too sure hence the three stars.
Very enjoyable game but oftentimes on 4, 5, or 6 of a kind, you will be rewarded with fewer points than what you earned.
We paid to remove the ads and now we're getting nothing but ads constantly. What a rip off.
Nice layout. Game play is OK, but computer player is way too lucky. Randomness seems to favor computer and disfavor human player. Needs some work to better reflect "real world" roll of dice for this game to be truly enjoyable.
The game is good, but the pop up ads hold your device hostage by not allowing you to close them. We refuse to be manipulated by force by unwanted advertising! Deleted.
You pay to unlock all five computer players, but you can only play against 1 Game Center player. Make the online feature pointless.
Happy with this game. Choose a live game with random opponent over internet or against computer with three different skill levels. No glitches that we have seen.
Please fix crash and freeze on ios8.
Hasn't worked since 8.0 update.
This is a very fun game very similar to Mississippi Marbles that we play with our 93 year old parents.
We love playing with our husband. We don't have to find the dice and our daughter isn't running away with them.
Really fun and addicting! We love this app.
Awesome game. Easy to play and hard to put down.
We have enjoyed this " never know till it's done game". Appreciate the challenge & have lots of fun playing.
We really enjoy playing Farkle with our great grandchildren. They have fun playing on road trips.
Nothing to complain about whatsoever. Plays fast (thank you!), and a welcome addition.
This is a great app. Love the different levels of AI.
Good way to pass time. Quick game and lots of fun.
Love this game. Brings back memories of fun times… And more to come.
We play this a lot. Great game.
It so addictive that it's hard to put it down.
This game is amazing… We love it! We have this game at home but never knew there was an app for it!!! We would definitely recommend this game to everyone.
