Go back to the old version – Yatzy Review

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!
