Fun games but design has flaws

Annamations

As well as the problem with the roll button, the option to be able to continue an unfinished game should also be added.

Bad Ads

It's OK to have ads in a free app, but don't let them spoil the game!

Would be better, but irritating ad appearances

The ads don't bother me, really. What does bother me is how the ads are displayed; the "up, down; up, down" UI element makes this halfway enjoyable game an exercise in patience - as you're bound to get irritated and frustrated when the screen shifts up or down (usually when it moves up) without warning to display an ad. The reason this is so frustrating is because without warning, you've no idea (unless you just sit back and wait for the screen to shift before playing further; or you just happen to get the timing down, which I see as unlikely because that would require a goo amount of time playing and I doubt even Job would has as much patience) when the screen will suddenly jump up and screw you over by essentially forcing you into a play you didn't want to make. Nothing is as irritating as having just what you want rolled and attempting to highlight dice to keep them ruined because the precise moment you tapped the screen the entire playing area moved up causing you to hit "roll" instead - thus essentially guaranteeing you won't get anything as favorable without getting extreme lucky. If the ads were constantly present I would likely rate this at 3 or 4 stars, because the game itself seems well made and isn't hard to use at all (even if "registering" to show your score is a useless feature with 90+ scores locking up the Top 100, and that "local" either doesn't work at all or is another way of saying "Top 100" - "local" never showed anything but the same ludicrously lucky, or insanely lacking a hobby and/or social life persons who populate the Top 100); but the entire play area in such frequent motion, especially in such an annoying manner, makes this game painful to play where it ought to be mildly entertaining and possibly addictive when you have time to kill. I don't know about the full version but if the free one only differs by the inclusion of ads, it is a real shame this game lacks a multiplayer feature. A "pass along" multiplayer option would be great! After a player's 3 rolls for the round, have the next player's turn start instead of the same player rolling again to trying to satisfy some other scoring goal. It would add a whole new element of fun to the game. Also, fixing the "local" top scores so it shows only scores achieved by players on the user's phone would make sense (perhaps it is supposed to already)... With those fixes done I'd give the game 3 stars, with multiplayer likely 4 pretty easily. But as it a now...

Not good

The ads are stpuid and I don't know how to play the game but it seems stpuid and boring.

The game ROCKS!! But...

The ads are HORRIBLE!! I will get a great roll and go to select the ones I want to keep and because the roll button is right below the dice, when an ad pops up (literally), I end up hitting roll before I select all the ones I want to keep. Also, if I want to select "ones" or "three of a kind" and an ad pops up, I have to wait until it goes away to select it. It's more frustrating than anything. This game would be amazing if the ads were stationary or the roll button was moved. Preferably, stationary ads. 

Ditto

Ditto on keeping ads stationary so screen doesn't move. There are a few other things that Iwould like that some others may not have mentioned. It would be nice to be able to turn the sound off and there needs to be a restart or new game button. Something to restart if you want to start over in the middle of the game.
