## Review summary

Overall, reviews skew negative due to concerns about fairness and reliability, though Acey Deucy and the game variety are appreciated by some. The main pain points are perceived biased dice and AI behavior that favors the computer, persistent online multiplayer issues, and intrusive ads even after purchase. Updates are blamed for degrading the experience, including removing Acey Deucy and introducing scoring glitches. Several users also report freezes/crashes and sign-in/invite failures. A subset still enjoys the relaxing gameplay and fast dice, but most want fairness, stability, and a smoother online experience.

### Pros

- Acey Deucy availability and variety of games are a highlight for many players.
- Relaxing and enjoyable gameplay overall.
- Long-time enjoyment prior to updates (stable gameplay before changes).
- Some players report fast dice rolls and fair-looking randomness.

### Cons

- Perceived cheating/unbiased dice: AI seems to roll perfect or desired outcomes, not random.
- Online multiplayer issues: frequent disconnects, sign-in hang, invitation problems.
- Intrusive and glitchy ads, including ads after paying for the app.
- Updates ruined the app (removed Acey Deucy, changed scoring, poor UI).
- Crashes and freezes (random freezes, game not clearing, app crashes).
