Review summary

Overall, the app is loved for addictive, fast-paced Farkle that plays offline and works well solo or with others, with satisfying dice sounds and a chip system for big rolls. However, multiple reviews note recurring ads (including mid-rolls) that disrupt play, plus stability issues like crashes and launch failures. A subset also points out that some real Farkle rules don't align with the game and callers want more rule customization. The consensus is enthusiastic but tempered by ad and reliability annoyances.

Pros

Addictive gameplay that works well solo or with others
Fast-paced and easy to pick up
Offline play without internet required
Pleasant audio and visuals (dice rolling sound; good controls/graphics)
UnFarkle chips feature for saving good rolls

Cons

Intrusive and increasing ads, including mid-rolls that disrupt gameplay
Stability issues like crashes and launch failures
Partial misalignment with real Farkle rules and limited customization options

2021-02-19	Bo*****	iOS 14 finally outdated the app and it won’t run anymore. This has been my favorite for years. It’s sad that it’s not being updated.

2020-02-05	Lu*****	I just played Farkle for the first time last night (I had gotten a board game set on Amazon called “Farkel Game Set with Dice Rolling Tray” (Farkle spelled Farkel)...I highly recommend it, it’s a very nice set. My teen daughter and I had a blast last night playing Farkle for the first time ever. I found this app today for my ipod and I am already addicted. It’s so much fun! I love the sound of the dice rolling. The ads aren’t terrible, so I can live with that. What a great game! Where have I been that I only played this since yesterday?? I highly recommend this game and also the Boy Howdy Yatzy (without the h). Both are my favorite games on my iPod. Thank you for making this game!!

2018-04-25	Du*****	I have had this game for several years and could deal with the ads between games. No problem at all with that. I would expect that from a free game. But when ads recently started playing mid-roll, that is where I draw the line. A video ad would pop up just as I went to hit the Roll button and I ended up clicking on the ad instead. That’s how fast it happens. I just finished a single game where this happened 4 times during the game. Sorry, but I am deleting the app. That is beyond annoying.

2015-10-17	Re*****	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.
