The game's stability is a significant concern among users, with frequent reports of freezing during gameplay, particularly in online matches. Many players experience frustrating glitches that result in lost stakes and disrupted matches, especially after recent updates. While the game is praised for its fun and competitive nature, the persistent stability issues detract from the overall experience, leading to a call for urgent fixes.
- “Good fun! Practice makes perfect; there are no glitches in this game. Very good, I enjoy it.”
- “Single player is fine, online however is buggy. When searching for a game, it's a 50/50 if I get to play; it freezes after a player is found, forcing me to reset the app, which makes me lose my stake. Really frustrating!”
- “You will be up 2-1 in a best of 5 match, and on the 4th game it freezes up and kicks one of the players out, ending the match. So even if you win the coins for that match, the winner is never determined by throwing better darts; it's determined by whose app freezes first.”
- “Great game that I played all the time until the update, but following the update, every time you try playing a pro or amateur, the game freezes after the coin toss, and you have to close the tab. When you reopen the app, you lose the coins you have staked on that game.”
