Ads are still beyond obnoxious, and seems like over time they continue to get worse (now requiring 3 presses of x button!!! to fully close most ads...) On top of that, recently started crashing 100% of the time when starting a game against the computer. Clear cache, clear data, and uninstall/reinstall all failed to correct.
It plays well, but the odds definitely seem to be in the favor of the computer. I like to casually play, to eat up some time, but even when going against the "apprentice" level computer, I struggle to get points. In fives, the computer always seems to have high scoring dominos, and I can only scrounge up 5-10 points a hand. Speaking of, the dominos given at the start of a hand are randomly assigned to you, as in you do not get to pick the tiles you want to play with.
One annoying downfall from being a great game. Overall, I think this is a really good game with almost no flaws; My BIG issues is how it plays. The game does not let each play selectively pick their pieces at the beginning of each round. In not allowing this, it appears as if the opponent is given a hand that can beat yours rather consistently, almost to the point of being predictable in figuring out the opponents next move. Please allow players to pick their pieces for each round.
Please fix this current bug on Android devices. I no longer get game notifications, but even worse I can't see any of my games to play. I'll lose by default just because it's been too long between plays, however the games aren't loading. It's just a blank screen with the word "Domino!" at the top. This is the third time happening. I've restarted my phone and reinstalled the app several times without success. i I hope I'm not the only one experiencing this so they can update it and fix this!
Overall, the app is decent. I love the ability to play several games at the same time with the same person Just a few suggestions. 1. Add ability to play up to 250 points on Blitz games. 2. Game system pause after game winning title is played. It allows time to see the table and analyze play. then add some sort of next button. 3. freezes several time a day. unable to select game to enter and I have to restart the game. 4. Split screen adjustments for Samsung Note 8. Can't see my tiles
Only for the casual players, not the competitive ones. The algorithm is busted... time after time will you send someone to the boneyard and they'll miraculously draw the one domino needed for a score. I play competitively in real life, and never before have I witnessed such odds. Definitely worth the $5 to avoid the ridiculous amount of ads. Still the best mobile domino game, in my opinion, though that's not a high bar to set. Need to add rematch option at the end of blitz games.
It's a good game but there are a few concerns. 1. It seems like it will let your opponent score if you're doing good, this is especially true when it comes to playing the computer. 2. After the new update the score is hiding behind the camera on the Galaxy S10 Plus when playing the computer. 3. It doesn't seem to be random when you pull from the boneyard, I can almost predict what I'm going to pull every time. Aside from those issues it's alright but won't give 5 stars until improved a bit.
Too many 30 second ads. Bones is bones and that is great! But the unavoidable 30 second ads that cut into the media player while it's playing is annoying! The ads are unavoidable and you can't shorten them, and that leaves a bad taste in the mouth. It must be the top app for dominos. 01/19 wow last update gave this app major bugs. would take forever to log in and sometimes just wouldn't log in so I tried uninstalling and reinstalling but forgot how I signed up so now I lost my friends. poor tech
The game is fun for a while until you figure out the algorithms. The computer is very good at 1 plucking for points. 9 times out of 10, your hand will consist of 3 of one number, 3 of another number, a spinner, and a random. The game isnt very realistic to the point that you can predict the computer's move based on what your going to play. The prediction will score them points regardless of your choice.
The overall game is great but there are a few issues I have for the game maker. 1. I will finish a game, start another one and move on. but the previous does t seem to finish with the system so it has me play the same move again. I dont notice so I start a new game, now I have 2 new games. 2. The push warnings are not consistent. I get them most of the time but they don't come through time to time.
The latest update looks and plays great. That said the degree of difficult playing the computer seems to have increased significantly. I have played for several years at the hardest level and though challenging typically out win the computer. The new version frankly feels overrigged to the computers advantage. I like a competitive game and am fine with losing as long as it's fair. For comparison I will try the other easier levels. Time will tell.
Cool game. No game is without its flaws; however, I think this one could do a bit better. I am no technology guru but the game does have quite a few server time out issues and other related flaws. I think it could also use some overall updates. You could make it easier to find and challenge players, offer other play options (the game isn't played the same everywhere). Having that ability would give you a great advantage over other Domino games. I won't say more because I do believe you are wo
I've been enjoying this game for years without problems. But in the past several months, the annoyance of 30 second ads between each play is a serious waste of time. I use to play several competitors during my 15 minute breaks. I can't do that anymore. Also I use to play the maximum allowable games. Now I only play 5 people max.
I have been playing this game since 2012 with my wife and we loved it. I would rate it 5 stars but unfortunately I just changed to a Samsung and the game crashes and I've not been able to play for almost 3 weeks. I did email the developer but I didn't even receive an acknowledgement nevermind a solution. I don't understand the issue as it was just fine with my Google pixel phone. Disappointing to say the least to not receive any feedback. I'll look for a new app to play instead
Hello. I'm a big fan of the Domino app. It's a wonderful well put together game. But the only thing that I've seen that would be really great to add would be the option to ask your opponent for a rematch before the game closes out that you've played with your opponent. Most players want an immediate rematch with their opponent but that option to immediately ask for a rematch is not available. Right now you have to leave the game you've played with your opponent and then try to find them to ask.
Anytime I play in Blitz mode, I swear I at least have 3 doubles..which is crazy! The way i grew up playing, is if you get 4 doubles in your hand, you can throw it back in for a new one. I think this is something that should be considered somewhere within the algorithm that provides players their Dominoes to begin the game, indeed.
The most frustrating thing about this is that it will place a tile for you as you bring it up to the table. I've lost too many points over wrong placement to enjoy this. I'm not trying to give myself 0s when there is a playable 15 or 20. Some backup ai would be nice or get the controls to be more sensitive.
good experience, but when pulling from the boneyard, it needs to be more random that what it is. I could play for years and not pull 5 of the same bones consecutively as here. also the pulling from the boneyard seems to be swayed in favor of those who have played a lot of games. they should check the algorithm they are using. if that was fixed and add a rule option to have to score 10 at the start of the game and then 5's count after that, this game would get all 5 stars.
Mid rating. I don't play connected games, as I don't care to connect via Facebook. Starting to become really familiar with bot choices on hard setting. I usually can win. Audio still crackling on my Samsung S8, video latency moving bones to board. Don't get me wrong. I like this!) Keep maturing the product. If there is a way. To restrict side (curved) screen touch, that'd be good.
The game plays smoothly except it is hard to place a domino on far right side. If there is a play on far right and a play on bottom half of spinner your bone will most likely go to the closest place and not necessarily where you want to play it. Sinçe you changed the format the game is harder to start and slower. Certain adds freeze my phone and it takes a few minutes. Yesterday I was only able to finish 4 Blizt games in an hour. I'm looking for a new site
Great way to get better at playing dominos and playing your friends even when you aren't with them. It's nice that you can choose either blitz or casual rounds, choose the type of game and choose the amount of points to play to. The only thing that would make it better is if you could play more than one person on a table at a time. It would be more realistic and if you have friends that play on the app too then everybody can play together on one table instead of playing multiple different games.
The game is fun but a little rigged. What are the odds of someone always starting with a high double? Also, the way they place some of the dominoes on the table, especially the doubles makes it a little confusing. Also, I have never had ads in multiplayer mode on other games.
It's a good app. But, expect to be interupted with ads during your game. Sometimes after each hand played... Ads will also interupt your rematches as well. Players don't like to wait. So, you won't be able to play as the game gets cancelled.. Unless, if you want to pay the fee to be ad free. I give it 4 ⭐'s because you can play with family and friends.... With those bothering ads..
Nice game. Ads to recent days were there but tolerable. Not they have ads of 30 seconds with no opt out and the "get" page is total BS. It takes me 3 seconds to determine if I'm a buyer. The only reason to keep me there is to convince advertisers they get value. You need to tell them they're idiots and have no idea how to market a product. Another case of ads for greed ruin an experience. Cheers!
Too much interference from the app. It's like the game is playing itself and we're just it's avatars. Not realistic at all Ex. We're both equally decent players. As of yesterday, my 86 wins to opponent's 76. Less than 24 hours later, Im at 88 wins to opponent's 100. If that's not an algorithm flaw I don't know what is. I hated the ads too but, at the time when the game was fun and FAIR, I paid the 5 bucks to remove them.
This game is so far from random, it's pathologically ridiculous! I've had so many games where I would be winning 80-20 and lose and games where I would be losing by the same and somehow win!??really???! It does it's best to keep your opponent in the game. Draws and pulls are NOT random! This is not a true form of dominoes. Edit: your algorithm isn't worth the Charmin I wipe my backside with. Anyone that actually plays bones outside of an app knows this as fact.
I love this version of dominoes! It is incredibly challenging and an excellent learning tool. I play every time I have spare time on my phone or tablet. No other version makes you talk to yourself when you are losing. 5/10/2022 - Okay, now my game has been even more challenging. In the last few days, the app will not stay open for me. I have Uninstalled and reinstalled several times.
