Player Experience Highlights
Community Insight:
We love Farkle Dice but this fast pace version is really fun.
We like the fast pace and ease of playing. Also great that it doesnt require an internet connection as we often dont have any service. Removing the ads is also a very reasonable cost. Overall great app.
We just played Farkle for the first time last night (we had gotten a board game set on Amazon called Farkel Game Set with Dice Rolling Tray (Farkle spelled Farkel)…we highly recommend it, its a very nice set. Our teen daughter and we had a blast last night playing Farkle for the first time ever. We found this app today for our ipod and we are already addicted. Its so much fun! We love the sound of the dice rolling. The ads arent terrible, so we can live with that. What a great game! Where have we been that we only played this since yesterday?? We highly recommend this game and also the Boy Howdy Yatzy (without the h). Both are our favorite games on our iPod. Thank you for making this game.
The new release updates the code to be fully compatible with the latest iPads and iPhones. Pleas Email us if you see any issues. UnFarkle Chips was a popular request by our players. We've been using them to improve our score. You automatically earn chips for every 5,000 points and a bonus chip if your final score is over 7,500 points. The better you play the more you earn for FREE. Our randomization code uses industry standards and implemented by or lead engineer an MIT graduate.
Addictive, even if you play alone. Some of the real rules don't apply in this game. We do enjoy playing it anyway.
We have had this game for several years and could deal with the ads between games. No problem at all with that. We would expect that from a free game. But when ads recently started playing mid-roll, that is where we draw the line. A video ad would pop up just as we went to hit the Roll button and we ended up clicking on the ad instead. Thats how fast it happens. We just finished a single game where this happened 4 times during the game. Sorry, but we are deleting the app. That is beyond annoying.
The game rolling is still rigged and yet MORE ads than last time we wrote a review. Feh. Deleted again after little play.
IOS 14 finally outdated the app and it wont run anymore. This has been our favorite for years. Its sad that its not being updated.
Good Farkle game but $1.99 is a bit much to remove the ads, maybe .99 would be more legit. There's not enough interest or "bang for the buck" value to merit charging twice what most developed would charge.
This game is addicting! Good way to pass the time while you're waiting, at the doctor's office or wherever. We like the UnFarkle chips and like to save them for when we've got a good roll going. Lots of fun.
Enjoy playing this game. Lots of fun.
This is our favorite farkle game. It is great :).
One of our new favorites. Easy to play.
We love this game. We know second by second our score, all our stats.
Its fun, fun, and more fun! We just love this game. You can play it anytime and anywhere, by yourself or with others. It can be very addictive so be careful! Enjoy it.
Great free, addicting dice game.
Love playing our hubby to see him cry when we beat him :).
Fun game. Very good way to pass time & can be addicting. Highly recommend.
It's a pretty good game. The computers a little too free handing out the Farkle's, however.
We love the original dice game and play it often with family. However, we also like playing the game alone and the FARKEL solo version is exactly what we were looking for! While the scoring in the electronic version is different than the dice version, we like the change. The sound effects can be annoying but we turn the sound down and keep on rolling'. Oh, and we like the fact that a game is only 10 hands (rounds) – this is short enough to play anytime without having to make a commitment to play to 10,000.
We LOVE this game! We're not crazy about the new "chips", but it'll take a lot more'n that to turn us off this GREAT game.
Awesome , great for agoraphobes.
It's pretty good. We haven't quite figured out the chips & do-overs, etc. We'll learn our way around.
Really fun companion game to Smart Box's Farkle Dice game. Theme, controls sound and graphic all great. Wish game had more flexible customization for rules and scoring. Great addictive game overall. We done.
Fun but has sound settings issue on our iPhone 5. On is full volume of the dice rolls.
Very good way to pass time if you have no where to go and nothing to do. Addictive.
Needs better explanation on how to play.
Good game, but sometimes fails to launch or fails to credit achievements.
Though it is similar to dice game, the app has a lot of errors.
Installed the app but every time we open it, it crashes immediately. Uninstalled, reinstalled, still the same problem. Deleted it for good now.
Since they added the unfarkle chips that you can buy as an IAP, it now makes you farkle almost every other hand. When rolling 4 or 5 dice you get nothing far more than probability would allow for. And it's all so people will get frustrated and feel motivated to buy the unfarkles. Wasn't that great of a version of farkle to begin with, but now with the game cheating you blind it's downright unusable unless you spend real money on the BS unfarkle chips. Don't waste your time.
Crashes EVERY TIME we try to start a new game.
Great pass time when you have nothing else to do. And when you are taking a trip in the car it really helps pass the time.
Our new favorite game. Very relaxing to play.
We like everything except the animal noise when you "farkle".
After the update the app crashes after each game, frustrating! Worked great until the update, please fix this.
If you really like playing farkle then solo puts a different and fun spin to the game. We have to play a few games every day.
We just love this game it is so addictive.
Fun game with cool sounds. Never played Farkle before, but now we're addicted.
Good time Easter though it crashes alot.
Lots of single player fun!! If you don't know the game, this the easiest way to learn it.
Great game to pass away time spent waiting…for anything.
Totally addicted. Great set up & playability in the design of the game.
We love this game. It's fun competing with our friends for high score.
We enjoy this game too much! It's very addictive and a challenge to try to beat our own high score.
How many times have we spent another hour playing "just one more game"? If you're willing to risk it, go ahead and get this. Your productivity and sleep will take a hit, but you'll enjoy it.
Having so much fun. Chuckle at the sound effects. Love it.
Fun game! We used to play it all the time. Love that there is a great app.
We just keep playing! It's simple, and easy to play.
We like playing this game. It can kill lots of time, but it farkels too many times and sends us off to find a better game that does not frustrate us so much,.
