Backgammon ∙ app good for
Use to play a lot of backgammon as a kid...and now i play at least 10 times a day with this cool app. Thank
Good game, passes the time, works really well. Could be a little harder!
Its a very pleasant board game which also works offline, making it a great option for travel entertainment.
So many warnings, but its funny while free,
Anyway thanks,

Love the game. But, the opposition seems to receive far more lucky moves than me.
Five reasons I have not bought this yet:
5. I shut the sound off in settings, because its just dumb.
4. The computer rolls miraculous doubles repeatedly, then does the same for me. Why cant it be more random? Unusable doubles always show up when a marker is on the bar, as if for comic relief.
3. The computer makes stupid errors in judgement. Does it need another harder level, where it just plays smart without cheating?
2. Too many responses needed on the "okay" button. Could be "touch screen anywhere". Bearing-off button area could be bigger. Play on the iphone is harder due to small screen and big fingers.
1. ***important-fix this*** Both the computer and the player need to be able to forfeit a game, without forfeiting the match. When a game is out of hand, the play gets outright tedious.
Unfortunately, this is the best backgammon app Ive found. It doesnt look like the developer is interested in improving it. Despite all this, it is addictive and I will buy it to rid myself of the annoying ads.
Thanks, I guess.
Some bad moments
I was found of this app. This update simply do not work at all, after an advertising splash screen you access the menu..but NO button works.. Even after a reinstall. So I unistalled it.. Thats it.
Too bad
If you want to roll dices and move pawns, this app is just fine. If you want to play backgammon, thats another story...
The program tends to cheat and it us annoying when playing "difficult". In situations where the opponent would never win in real life the program then all of a sudden forces you to dice in such a manner that it will eventually win.
This game is fun as long as you are not a good player. Good, skillful backgammon players - beware of this computers ability to dole out doubles as many as necessary to win.
I have played this game for many years but with every update the game gets worse.
The iPhone always land on a open spot on first roll. Player takes 4-6 rolls to get back on the board. iPhone always gets multiple doubles.
Player get doubles when two men left on the board. This was one of the best games when they first started. Now, not worth your time.
Love backgammon
The dice rolls are almost always to the favour of the iphone.. 3 doubles in a row?? Almost every game?
