User Reviews for Yahtzee® with Buddies Dice

Potentially great, but ruined by ad implementation

This game offers the standard game of yahtzee and allows you to play against friends, family, or strangers on the internet. You can also play against the computer in slightly different versions of Yahtzee and win prizes. It really could be a fun game, but the downsides really impact the level of fun this game offers. The biggest, and most in your face is the way they implemented ads. In the middle of a roll, it leaves the game screen and goes to a full page ad. Sometimes you can click the X and go back to the game, sometimes you have to watch 5 seconds, others 30 seconds, sometimes there are more than 1 you have to watch. The X isn’t always in the same place. By the time you get back to the game, you have to figure out what turn you were on and what you need to go for. The interruption from the ads is really bad and it is very frequent; approximately every three turns. You can get rid of the ads for the crazy price of $8/month. On top of the ads, something doesn’t seem to be coded efficiently as this game burns through your battery so much faster than anything else. There are a lot of in app purchases that are priced really high for what you get. I really hope they decide to offer an option to go adds free without signing up for the prize pass and figure out how to make the game run a little smoother overall. It has great potential.

Yahtzee with buddies

I’m liking Yahtzee less and less. So many bugs which don’t seem to be fixed while continually rolling out new feature which are nothing more than Free Roll eating behemoths. Taking away red scratchers for game play stinks,especially when the game is so slanted in favor of the house. Your customer service people are either misinformed or liars as they continue to repeat that the red scratchers for person to person games are in the treasure chests, one shows up here and there but that’s it. It’s ridiculous to think, odds wise, that one cannot roll a specific die one time in a game, unrealistic. You can see the dice rolling and jumping off the die you need. Feast, too long and too frequent. Roaming players jumping from family to family and not participating when let into a new Family is getting old. They need a time out or something if they are chronic abusers. Punishing players who do buy from you by taking away their free ads for several days to several weeks is ridiculous. Many of your customer service people appear to be either incompetent or liars. Additionally, the winning of repetitive dice in the prize claw. Can’t believe you still haven’t fixed that. And why did you take away our Dice Masters. I’m reminded of that great game from years ago called Mafia Wars wherein The greed and incompetence of the company and developers magically made the game lose popularity seemingly overnight and then it was gone

Broken half-baked app with crummy support

There are several features that only sort of work, but never get fixed. Support replies to apple reviews saying things will get fixed, but the same bugs have been around for 3+ years and then they keep putting out versions that break it further. Currently, scores show wrong. So you think you’re winning but after the game ends, your score is adjusted down and so you have actually lost. That’s a new one…. And here are some longstanding issues, but thete are so many: There are badges all over the app, telling you that something is new, but they are set up wrong because the app keeps forgetting that you already saw the prize you earned (even if you are currently actively using it). These sorts of things are in multiple places throughout the app. It will show you have no new games between other players, even when you do. Careful watching ads for rewards, you might or might not get what it says you are supposed to get… at least in the past, you might get lucky and get compensated by support (but only if you had a screenshot of the issue and the ad you viewed… which many times is impossible because the rewards come after closing the ad, so you don’t know you aren’t going to get it until after you close it)…. But the last few weeks, they just close your support requests after 5 minutes without response or compensation.

I like game but not customer service

I had to contact customer service because I wasn’t getting the help I asked for in my “family”. I would hit claim and it would go away in the chat but the items would not be available for me to use. This happened for at least 2 days. I contacted customer service and got a response the next day about how to make sure my game was updated(it was), make sure I cleared temporary data(I did), force close the app(I do every time I get out of the game), and to restart my phone(I did this as well). They still didn’t show up so I responded that I did all that and they still weren’t there. I was, however, able to claim them for that day and they got added to my inventory. I got a response back from someone else stating that I got them for that day and used them and closed the “case”. I contacted them again and said I didn’t get them for the 2 days before that day. I got a response back from yet another person saying that I claimed them for the day before. They didn’t say anything about using them. I know I claimed them. The issue isn’t that it wasn’t letting me claim them. The issue was that I could claim them but they weren’t put into my inventory so I could use them. I’m going to continue playing the game but I refuse to spend any money on it now since they have shown me that they don’t care if their game messes up and doesn’t give people things that they are supposed to get.

Game Just Tries To Take Your Money

With this app, you have two options for gameplay. You can play one turn at a time with strangers, which can be a very time-consuming endeavor. If you want to play a game by yourself (against the computer) you have the second option of engaging in the adventure modes. This is the typical profitable app model that uses timer countdown limits (e.g. once you play one game, you must wait three hours until you can play again) that encourage the user to utilize in-app purchases to buy local currencies. While I’m not the biggest fan of this model, I understand that it’s very prevalent and I’ve become accustomed to being patient and looking forward to it. What is the biggest disappointment is that many of the games are clearly fixed (in order to gain any significant advantage you would likely need to utilize further in-app purchases). I am obtaining my master’s degree in statistics and the probability of some of these outcomes happening repeatedly and as constantly as they do is so remote that it has just become so discouraging. If you’re looking to play Yahtzee, don’t get this app. The design is nice and the gameplay is superb, but unless you’re looking for an app that you mindlessly check on every few hours or if you don’t mind spending your actual money on this game, then go ahead and try it. I had been really underwhelmed with the game that I had deleted it. After having recently re-downloaded it, I will soon be deleting it again.

Beware of cost to remove ads

This is the second time I’ve downloaded this game. First time around I paid a one time fee to remove ads from gameplay & I played to a level where I was unable to advance further (essentially I had plateaued at a high tournament level & was unable to meet the goal to advance to another level). While I was enjoying the game quite a bit, I needed space on my device and was getting bored with no longer moving up tournament levels so I decided to delete the app. Recently I downloaded the app again, figuring I would start over from the beginning. Unfortunately, this time around, the only option to remove ads is to subscribe to a prize pass membership for a recurring charge of $8 a month. When I first looked into this, I was having an average of 3 ads pop up in each game. I wrote a message thru the help/contact us link stating that this seemed like a steep price to pay to remove ads when most other game apps charge a one time fee around $3 to do this. The response I got was “some people pay the subscription price because they think it’s fun”I’m now getting between 8-10 ads within a single game. Feels like every few rolls of the dice I have to wait 15-30 seconds for an ad to play before I can move onto my next turn. Seems like they are trying to force people into paying $8 per month which seems ridiculous. I’ll be deleting it again and looking for alternative Yahtzee game apps.

One of my favorites, but overwhelming

This game is great! I love it. I am happy to spend money in this game, doesn't bother me a bit. What does bother me is how much is constantly happening in the game. Dice Derby, Family Games, Prize Bowl, Treasure Hunt, Prize Pass, Dice World. All the time, nonstop, there's always 4 events happening for a week. ALWAYS! They're not mandstory to play, so that's fine-ish. Just a lot to take in sometimes. Another thing that makes this game overwhelming are the pop-ups as soon as you open the app. The promotions and deals are cool, but please stop shoving them in our faces when we open the app! And players beware! If you buy a Spin Wheel Coin for a Spin Wheel in hopes of getting extra dice, scratch offs, or tournament passes, once you buy it, it AUTOMATICALLY starts spinning. Cool, not a problem. Unless you close out your app. Then you don't get to use your spins and the support team is no help. You won't be refunded or give anything in exchange for losing your money. I also HATE winning spin wheel coins and then having to use it right then and there. I'd love to be able to see it with my other rewards and use it when I'm ready to. And stop shoving the next Spin Wheel in our faces too. Make it easier to get Spin Wheel Coins and put it with the rest of the rewards.

Queen of everything beautiful and kind,

I love the variety of the games. I love the camaraderie and the family I have a magnificent family that I'm playing with. Treasure hunt is by far my favorite. However, the amount it takes to win or get promoted is ridiculous there's no way that you can do it by just doing your free place and there's so much time in between free free place kind of lose interest in that. And it takes so many extra rolls to play again like three dice for one more game in treasure hunt or in the family games. And the reward you get are not conducive to the same amount that you have to put in. And getting free bonus rolls takes forever and if you bought anything you only get four if you're lucky. Otherwise you may get lucky and get 12 but it takes such a long time and it shouldn't be that way. I'm hoping with this update that they've got all the bugs out and the glitches because I kept freezing everyone I know kept freezing on their games and they'd have to back out of it and go back in it was pretty much a hassle. However overall I do love this game and I would like to continue playing but I would like to see bigger rewards or quicker ways to get bonus rolls without having to spend money play play play and have fun anyways love the game love to camaraderie.

Love Yahtzee but....

I love this game but they have gone from buying dice that you roll with some of the bonus dice packs. Where you paid and got what you paid for. Although rather expensive it was much better than this stupid claw machine where there is no choice or exchange the doubles you get aren’t even for the super dice and frankly shouldn’t even be there if you already have them. They keep track of what you have their computers know. Also they lie bonus rolls are not everywhere and every time they update they are harder and harder to get. Don’t let the black mega scratchers fool you, you mostly get experience points almost never dice and frankly with the word mega in the name there should be at least 5 dice on every single one of those cards and 3 on the red ones. OMG they act like these dice are made literally out of gold. It use to be so easy to get new dice to roll and bonus rolls they’ve made it so much harder that I sometimes hate this game. It’s even harder to roll what you need now. Random I don’t really believe it. Cheating is more like it or bonus rolls wouldn’t be needed so often. In the actual game with actual dice no one needs or gets bonus rolls and people manage to play and win the game and get the rolls they need. I have played this game more in real time than on any computer. Dice don’t roll like that. Also they steal the scratches half of the time when you win them.

Love the game…HATE the stickers

I have had this game for a long time and play it on and off. I will say I am a bit disappointed with the change in amount of dice awarded for contests and how expensive they are to purchase considering how fast they disappear. However, the game does a great job of allowing some free play if you are patient and wait for enough time to pass until the next free play. I love that they have added so many new games that I have found addictive like Dice Derby and Treasure Hunt. My biggest and main complaint is the darn stickers. I find them completely annoying and do not care to collect them. They seem to be awarded for absolutely everything and while I do my best to not collect or open them, there are some times I have no control and I am forced to see the pack appear, have to click open and then have to click collect in order to move on. In some cases you collect like four sticker packs and have to sit through the opening of each individual pack. PLEASE add a fast option as you did with the scratch offs. At least they would go fast and not be so painful to sit through. Also, please consider awarding less and just make them more valuable or something. Otherwise, this is a great game and easy enough to play often with no purchases. Yes, it does often take bonus rolls to actually beat an opponent or computer but you can wait the allotted time and come back and try again.
