Great game I remembered from my youth-it taught me rules and counting (or basic math in general). I had forgotten the rules and although the game itself remembers them, they don't give a list for you to follow. I still love it though and when can I play with friends?
Suggestions to improve

Best parchisi game I have found so far but adding some options would make it more strategic and less based on luck: 1. Add 'pass' button so player can choose to only use one of dice thrown 2. If dice total 5 then option to get out of base available 3. Don't make it mandatory to leave base when 5 or total of 5 thrown (allow player to use 5 on another piece even if there are still pieces in base) 4. Undo button to reverse mistakes
Classic board game

Plays like. The classic board game parcheesi if you updated and set the rules right. Spent many hours playing. Wish there were more classic board games out there. One thing I wish is that it kept track of wins and losses.....4/8. Found a bug ... I play doubles where I control blue and green had all green pieces in but was going no where with blue. I had 2 pieces out with blue(one on starting spot.) Rolled double 5's with green and had thee blues sitting on start. Basically I had 3 pieces on one spot. Not 100% sure if I killed an opponent ( on my starting spot)at that time. But I think I did.
Game AI cheats

It's a nice game but the Apps AI appears to roll exactly the moves it needs to win a game! Every time the AI has won the game I've had all my pips out on the game board and miraculously the dice roll doubles three times in a row the the AI just happens to roll the moves to knock more of my pips off the board. Just now I lost the game because it somehow managed to roll 11 4 times in a row and was the perfect move to get it's last pip into the home before I could! Seems to coincidental for my taste!
(Otherwise) Well done

(Otherwise)Well designed app. Edit: I'm not playing the game until the dev includes an undo. It can be quite unenjoyable when your intended move is misinterpreted and the game is blown. Happens too often with my apparently fat fingers :((
More options

Would like more options like Hoyle 2005 board games pc version. Option to pass on one of dice, combination of both dice totaling 5 let's you move a chip from home. Option to not move a chip from home to play field. Sometimes the dice get stuck, tilted on eachother, freezes the game, have to save, exit, then start saved game to continue. Add the options for me to give 5 star, other than that, awesome app
Dreadful

Buggy as heck. Very inconsistent. Cannot delete a saved game. "Rules" take you to the Wiki page - really?? I don't need the history of Parchisi, I need to know by what whacked-out rules this games adheres. Contact app support/author is in another language. What a waste of money. Too bad. Graphics are nice but this thing was not ready for release and has never been updated. Authors should be ashamed of this mess.
Great game - except cheating

Awesome game design. I wish the die roll was truly random. It is impossible for it to be random, or I'm the unluckiest person alive. It's absolutely astounding how the bots get such "lucky" rolls at least 75% of the time to either take an opponent out or hit the safe spots. The only way to win is to control two cooperatively against two individual bots. Even playing this way I still lose 25% of the time, but at least it is fun. So I give it three stars for playing in this way. If I could only control one player I would only give one star. Game designers - please fix this. Make the rolls truly random.
