Wonderful

Its amazing everything is included nothing is forgotten, thanks. The only thing I think must be included is tournaments between friends and world-wide.

Horrible

New update, still not fixed. These people have ingnored a year of bad reviews. They have NO interest in fixing it. How insecure are your designers that they dont want anyone to win against the computer in easy mode. You guys should just shut down your company and stop stealing money from people.

Backgammon Gold

Rigged. Rolls are always in computers favor. Good way to pass the time though. Clean fun.

Destroyed by one major flaw

I really dont understand why the developer would destroy what could be a good game by not using random dice. It makes the game predictable and removes any excitement from the game. The only value this game has is if you wish to practice against the worst case scenario (i.e. Your opponent has the luckiest dice rolls ever)

Best yet

I have played a lot of backgammon apps;this is the best yet! Very challenging when playing against computer expert. Other backgammon apps are easy to beat, but not this one. Plus, of course I can play online against others. Ive never had to wait more than about three minutes to find an opponent. This is my go-to backgammon app.

Dice rolls are skewed

Ive been playing this for awhile. Im the white pips and my husband is the black pips. His rolls are so very skewed in his favor. Every single time I have any pips uncovered, he majically gets what he needs to bump me off. If I every finally manage to bump his off, even if only one space is available for him to get out, he gets that roll. Not for me though. If I get bumped off, I can kiss the game goodbye, because all I will roll are the combinations that are already covered by his pips. Our running game total score is Me 12, Him 35. When we play on standard backgammon set, I beat him more often than not. I will be purchasing a different backgammon game.

Doesnt (obviously) use loaded dice.....

This is the 3rd BG game I tried. The other two would use loaded dice to implement the "hard" playing mode when playing the computer. This one seems to use genuinely smart moves rather than lucky rolls. I appreciate that.

Loaded dice and cheats

When playing against the computer (from medium to hard) it gets insane amounts of doubles and always rolls exactly the rolls it needs, as in EVERY TIME. Its ridiculous, no one is that lucky. I would feel ripped off if i paid for it but it was free so guess its ok although I did get used to the UI.

Stupid game

Its rigged every time I am about to win computer brings doubles after doubles. This game is a cheat and a waste of another app.

waste. This game is a joke

Dice rigged, NOT random.

This games cheats so much

This games CHEATS so much you might as well not think strategically. I play at the difficult level but as soon as I get to a strategic point when my moves are calculated suddenly it rolls doubles 4 times in a row or it somehow lands on my one solitary piece. Forget random rolls.org. This games is programmed to cheat.

Auto Aborts Half the Matches

This is a POS game. Aborts half the time often at the end of matches and docks you the points. I wonder if the paid version is any better. Maddening. This game would be great if not for this and the dice that keeps rolling u til you run out of time forfeiting the match.

Tough computer opponent

I dont know if the computer rolls are rigged, but the computer does move well. More of a challenge than other games.

Cheats

Is there a backgammon app that does not cheat? This one is really obvious about it. It consistently rolls the right numbers, while my rolls consistently are bad numbers. Most of my doubles are to locations blocked, and if I get all of my pieces in position to move off the board, the computer invariably gets several high doubles while I get mostly low numbers. This way beyond chance when I can be predicted.

The worst

Ive played this game for the last few years, but with the new update dice rolls provided are ALWAYS the exact roll needed to defeat you. It would be impossible to get these rolls in real life. If you do manage to get in a good position, the game will suddenly roll consecutive doubles (four doubles in a row?) to defeat you. I dont mind losing, but come on, at least try to approximate a real game. Deleting from my pad .

Rigged

Dice rolls are not random. Very difficult to win against hard computer. The only difference between easy computer and hard computer is that "easy" makes stupid moves that give you an edge. Ok to pass the time, but dont expect a good game.

BEST Bckgammon game app around!

Ive tried few other apps and this is the best. Its great fun and an excellent challenge. I set the computer to the "hard level" (2.1) and it plays pretty fair. Most of the times. At that setting, it will likely make you pay for mistakes but that helps you play better. The rolls seem fairly random. It there are times you just know the computer has it rigged at other times. You can play others online and at can be fun. If your online player has a slow connection, that can be annoying but when the connection is decent, the play is good. The online players tend to be good players and nice. Overall, this an excellent version and Im sure youll agree!

Good game

One of my favorites.

one of my favs

definitely worth it. love especially playing online. Too many doubles alter playing online for a couple of months I have found out that the double dice rolls come way too often. please fix this. it takes the fun out of a possible great game.

Game is Buggy AND Cheats

Been playing big all my life. Dice program is the worst Ive seen and game aborts often when playing online. Ive been at end of many games and winning and game just shuts down and deducts points from me. Dice are completely rigged. Wondering if it turns in your favor if you pay for premium version. I just deleted the app from iPad. Too frustrating.
