I play against robot but yesterday it stopped letting me record my score. It does allow the robot to score. It allows me my three rolls but you cannot take your score. Example, say in three rolls I have four number threes, I try to record scour of twelve but it will not allow. After tapping the column in several sections it will then record a random score and then allow the robot to play. Very frustrating.

The 4.5 stars is likely left over from the previous version. I’d give that version 5 stars. This version is more like 2 stars. The cartoon characters make the game feel like it’s for 2-year olds. The choices for scoring are more difficult to determine now. The fonts are very light gray instead of black. There is no longer a built in double-touch mechanism that used to make you touch your selection twice, which kept one from making a mistake. .Also, the cheering noise needs to be removed-that was a bad decisions by the developers. Now I don’t dislike everything about the new version-the spinning dice upon opening the game is cool!!! I’ll probably still use this app because it’s just one of a limited number of a variety of Yatzy (and yatzy-like) apps that include 6-dice European yatzy and that is the most challenging of all the Yahtzee-type games (more strategy involved). I appreciate that the developers kept the 6-dice European in their new version. Maybe I’ll get used to the silly cartoon-kids and phony cheering, who knows!

EDIT removing a star because the sounds got worse, mute doesn’t work, AND the scoring has been made illegible with a small super light font and poor contrast. I’m deleting this game after promoting it for YEARS. Silly millennial game designers with perfect eyesight should take classes in accessibility and cog sci before “improving” app screens. This game is fun and well implemented, and the design is attractive and pleasing to look at. I enjoy playing it, and the dice seem properly random. However, there's no way to play it without the super LOUD annoying sound effects. I have to mute my phone to stop the madness. Then I miss phonecalls. Please, Spigo, give us a "turn off sounds" option - like every other sensible game in the App Store!
