Player Experience Highlights
Community Insight:
We play this game before bed. We like all the options on how to play the board game.
Straightforward game with no ads or distractions.
Ok so tonight we were bored and so we hung out with our mom, she was like, let us find a 2 player game in our phone to she goes thru her games and she updates yatzy and so we play it but its our first time, we didnt know how to play and so us, 13 we learned how to play Yahtzee mobile and we had so much fun and we lost our first two games, but our mom downloaded it for us and Im getting better, within our 5th game we beat her by ALOT 383>265 and we got a double Yahtzee and filled in all the slots except 4 of a kind, we also go bonuses for the top and Im so glad we played Yahtzee tonight, fun and great game, thanks so much.
Simple. Most games are not simple and thats the problem these days. They force you to add people or play against them or have a lot of animations between turns. Not this game. Simple. Easy. Fun. Just like the old days. Thank you, creator :) Fan since 2014? Maybe 2015. We love Yahtzee AND we lovvvve THIS version on App Store.
We love playing this game and it is just like the board game.
Just wish we could pay $1-$2 to get rid of the ads.
Classic game is fun to o play. Its a shame we cant play more than 2 or 3 games in a row without getting stopped by ads for other games.
We truly enjoy this game. We play it at some point every single day.
The game is easy to understand and fun to play especially when you only have a few minutes.
Love that we dont have to wait for free credits to play, as with most games. This game has great graphics and sound. The only thing that could make it better is no ads, but even the ads dont interfere with this game.
Highly recommend double bonus game.
We play it every daymy go to game for killing time.
Fun to play and never boring. Ive not experienced any faults with the program.
Love the game and play it all the time.
Always enjoyed playing and now we still do.
Bugs seem to get fixed. We like it because it requires no internetlike on a plane. That will be good again, someday.
Been playing this app for several months and it works well.
We played Yahtzee as a kid for hours whenever struck down by illness, but only returned to games after retirement. This Yahtzee is our mainstay, a real delight any time of the day or night! Enjoy.
Works on our ol' iPad 1 with iOS 5+ and is great on our iPhone 5s.
We play it but we need Oxygen,N2,And other feel-good gasses like CO2.
Can you please make different backgrounds? We love your app, but we cant see the red or blue outline on the green. Really cant see it outside in the sun either. Not sure why our eyes have a hard time seeing the red or blue outline around the dice. If the background could be different that would be awesome! We cant find any other app we like as much as yours.
The best thing about this game is it loads fast and if you suddenly have to stop playing just minimize the game do you can bring it up and continue when you have time.
When we first played this game it was kinda hard at first,but when we practiced,we got better!If we had to choose our favorite game,we would choose this one to be honest.Fun gameYou should try it out and you'll have lot's of fun.
The only thing that is weird is that the order of the names on the scoresheet changes with a new game. You get used to knowing you are the first person and then if you play another game your scores are in a different column. Probably just OCD we love this thing. Have noticed lately that the ads at the top are very irritating. Can we pay something to have them removed? Thanks for a great game.
Totally addicting. 586 our highest score on the doubling option. Can you beat that.
Just like the Yahtzee we played as a kid. Now we can play it anywhere.
This is our favorite Yatzy game. We love the shaking of the dice sound. It reminds us of being a kid and our whole family would play. (we do agree with another reviewer that a 5 of a kind should count as a full house. It's happened to us, and we were crestfallen.).
We play this on our iPhone 11 Pro with no problems. It is great when we need a few moments of down time.
We play this game many, many times a day and enjoy it very much. Well, thats not actually true. We played it once, but we did have a great time playing it. Well, thats not true either. We were going to play it but just as we were about to play it the phone rang. It was our cousin on the phone asking if he and his wife could stay at our place on an upcoming visit to our town for an agribusiness convention. Thats not entirely true either. We dont have any cousins as both our mom and dad had no siblings. Sorry, there we go stretching the truth again. Our mom and dad had plenty of siblings and it wasnt our cousin who called, it was our lawn care provider offering us a 30 percent discount for next season if we paid in advance. Actually, if Im being truthful, it was a 20 percent discount, not 30. But we will submit a review in the future once we actually play the game. You have our word on that.
We like the layout and that it resembles the real game. We love that we dont have to sit through ads between games. We also like the double bonus option and the user interface. Great game. We highly recommend it.
This remains our favorite Yatzy game from all choices on the App Store for over 7 years. The game literally mimics the original Yatzy game prior to the invention of Apps especially the rolling of the dice!!! It does contain ads but they are not intrusive while playing the game. We really appreciate this feature. We have tried other Yatzy apps when we had upgraded our iPhone but usually delete after 3 games. Highly recommend you give this App a try & so glad it was still available to download. Our compliments to the developer.
We really enjoy playing, recommended to anyone who likes playing Yahtzee.
This is pretty close to the action you would get with the original game. We have played many times and sometimes you get the lucky breaks and sometimes you dont. If youre playing solo, it even gives you a grade for your score. All in all, a fun app.
It is a great game but feels it feels a little outdated with the graphics.
Our only wish is that there was a mode where you could play three games simultaneously as in other Yahtzee games.
We love playing on our phone or iPad. We noticed one flaw, that we wish they would fix. Technically in the game of Yatzy, if you get five of a kind, you can also use it as a full house, if you have already used up all your Yatzys or have taken a zero on your Yatzy. For whatever reason this game does not let you use a five of a kind in the full house slot. Its frustrating taking a zero in full house when you couldve had it.
Like the game, but would be better if there were more color options. Red outline on the dice with a dark green background is hard to see, and we have no color blindness.
Occasionally it freezes and makes it impossible to continue.
We really enjoy playing this game. One reoccurring issue is having the cup freeze and die disappear. Weve noticed that this tends to happen when ads are changing. Reading reviews shows this had been an issue over the years. Please fix.
The game kept on freezing on us so we deleted it and reinstalled and things seem to be better.
Having a help button would be nice. What are the different game modes? They all look the same to us except for single throw. We dont know how to contact you, so Im doing it this way. Ill take it down later.
But hate the artifacts on the screen in the totals columns. Thought it was the screen, but when we got a new iPad Air the artifacts were still there. Like little vertical lines. Can you get rid of them? Theyre annoying.
Takes a smaller amount of skill. Perfect when we have a few minutes to fill.
Our only beef is the color scheme choices. Red and blue do not contrast well with the green background when highlighting dice. This often leads to an incorrect selection being made. Yellow or white as options would improve the experience greatly.
Perfect for a quick game or two from time to time. Game works great.
All of the other Yahtzees are like a whole new game we like this one more it is like the original one.
We cant get our Yatzy app to keep from freeze up having trouble keeping loaded. Keep shutting off.
We would give you five stars or even pay for a version without the ads at the top. Still the best Yatzy game, though.
Ive seen Yahtzee plated where a third Yahtzee can be used to fill in straights or a full house. Like to see that here.
For the most part we enjoy the game. There were a few instances, especially in the top part where we would touch the number we wanted and suddenly it gave us something else. Rather weird. But we do like the game.
