Two-player mode includes the option of automatically flipping the screen between turns for players sitting across from each other at a table, on the floor, in the car, or on a plane.
iFarkle is simple to learn, and fun to play.
PLEASE NOTE THAT THE COMPUTER DOES NOT "CHEAT"
The dice rolling mechanism is the same for both human and computer players: It is completely random.
If you are finding that the computer is always beating the pants off of you then you may want to either reduce the Computer's Play Style aggressiveness to "Meek" or simply take some chances and play more aggressively yourself. :)

A : The rules can be found by tapping the "Help" tab at the bottom of the game screen.
Reviews
Pretty decent representation
DaveHCombs
Sometimes the AI can get a little aggro and give up a lot of points, but this app does a good job of representing the game. One feature I’d like to see is if you’re on the “last chance” roll when the opponent breaks 10,000, you get a “You need 1570” that stays on screen as you’re trying to beat the opponent.
Disappointing

This is NOT a random number generator game. 99% of the time the computer gets higher scoring points than me.
Love the game

Great fun game. Addictive, competitive and quick to play. Really hate the new “flat” look. Can you change it back?
There are Issues.

0. The day after I installed this app on my iPad Pro, I got stuck in Portrait mode and screen won’t rotate to Landscape mode. I doubt if this is a coincidence. The programmer probably only cares about developing games as fast as possible bypassing quality control. 1. Would be better if you could view in landscape mode if you have an iPad Pro with keyboard attached so you wouldn’t have to be sideways. 2. Would also be better if text were a bit larger. Maybe have an option for this. 3. Random?? I am skepticaal. Sometimes it seems round after round for several rounds you start with one pair while machine starts with 3 of a kind or better. Then you find yourself behind by thousands of points.
Great Farkle Game

I love this game and version of the app—fun to play and simple to customize. Definitely worth the 99 cents.
Always lose now

I used to play this game frequently. Then an update quite awhile back made even playing on easy, a losing game. I used to break even in wins and losses, but now the computer always wins. Such a shame. Deleting it now.
Not really Farkel
msnbcsucks
There is no provision for rolling only some dice as in real Farkel Take out a scoring die you have to roll ALL the remaining dice removing any chance of gaining a better score. This is not Farkel
It started out good and then the game seemed rigged

I loved this game. Kept me occupied during my husband’s surgery, but the loved soon died. When you play this for awhile you start to see a pattern with the computer and before long you are lucky to even win all on the easy level. Amazing when the computer scores 1000’s of points each round and you are luck to even get 150 points. I went from being ahead by over 1000 points to the computer getting 9000 in two rounds. I set my settings to where you have to score 1,000 before being award any points. Funny how two games back to back to back where I didn’t even score before the computer won and each turn it had it was scoring 1500+ on the easy level! 100% rigged... Developers either fix this and I update this review or I delete this game and leave 1 star so others won’t waste their time or money! I give the developers until August 1, 2019 to fix this problem or I’m gone and my review and rating stays.
Not random

This game is garbage. The amount of times the AI gets to roll as opposed to how many times the player does is evidence that it’s more programming than probability. The player farkles far more often than the AI, and the AI has a greater occurrence of high scoring rolls than the player. Better to just roll six real dice.
