If the outcome of the roll were more random I would enjoy this game so much more. Playing for a day and only filling a large straight or a Yahtzee a few times is frustrating. It is mathematically more impossible than rolling the exact same dice three times in a row! Saving one die and getting the exact same result in the same order on the subsequent two rolls? There is no way this is possible!

It looks like a nice, no frills app, and to be fair there’s no pay to play gouging, and it just lets you play. Unfortunately it has two fatal flaws:
1) The random number generation is ridiculous. Not even close to being the averages of what you would expect from physical dice. Given how simple it is to generate a random dice roll in programming, I can only assume it’s by design and intentionally skewed for some reason. (Not even just the re-rolled dice coming up the same a ridiculous amount as others have mentioned, just bad across the board).
2) More than half the time (guesstimating) you don’t get two extra rolls, you only get one.
If they offered power-ups you could buy, or other IAP, I would say that they intentionally try to damage your score for financial reasons. But being they don’t have IAP or any other financial incentives, I can only guess it is just bad programming.

The random generator, as previous reviewer G.G. pointed out, has a problem. The un-held dice on a third throw will turn up the same way too often. I hope the makers can solve this as Boy Howdy is the simplest Yahtzee/Yatzy to use - without all those annoying alternative games and gimmicks. AND a second complaint here: how hard could it be to incorporate individual stats that cover the long haul? Comparing one’s single highest score today or this week or ever is pretty meaningless, since everyone knows that scores above 400 are a function of pure luck (multiple Yahtzees), and that those who hold the very highest scores probably have little other life! So ... keep my individual stats, so that I can challenge myself to beat MY highest score or improve on my AVERAGE SCORE over time.
