Backgammon ∙ App Reviews

Based on observations, the rolls are not random. This makes play frustrating.

I am done...just played several games and with each one, the AI rolled more and more doubles until the last game where every roll was doubles. I was "lucky" if I got anything over a four and no doubles! AI lost each game, but I am fed up, I wont play with a human who cheats, why would I play with a cheating computer!

Fixed the closed down issue. However still problems. You can request a double or redouble and iPhone will accept even if it is obvious it will lose. Silly moves. Too many doubles rolled for both sides. Its obvious dice rolls are not random. Silly moves. iPhone doesnt move out of opponents home at games end until all of its other pieces are in its home. Way too many doubles. Spins arent random. Needs auto end to game when theres no doubt. Game has closed down on me multiple times. I hit "send report" but it doesnt do any good. Way too many doubles on both sides. Silly moves by iPhone. Need option to end when game not in doubt. Shuts down when some ad says to rotate phone. I cant see that anything had been fixed.

Its a good version, fun to play, but not great. And it is the complaint most states here, the lower skill levels arent very challenging, and the highest level relies on great rolling to win instead of a smarter opponent.

Nice app! When I play one person, the game player seems to get a series of doubles and I get small moves when the dice is rolled...overall, it is a fun app!

If possible I wouldnt give this one star due to unrealistic odds against the player in single player mode. Ridiculous AI. Others are bad in a clueless manner but this one is set to get a perfect roll by the computer almost everytime.

Its a great game, keeps me occupied for hours sometimes; so much fun to beat it once in awhile

I have had this game on and off - when playing 1 player games, its very obvious that dice roll in the games favor so it can win. Not very challenging when the rolls are fixed. Seems silly really, why would anyone build an app that irritates the user? Hence Im taking the app off again, as I remember now why I took it off in the first place. As I say now a days they can k.m.a.

Scores are calculated differently for the AI and the player. The AI can get a score of up to three points, but the player can only get one. What is that?!

What else is there to say???

For the past week, while Ive been playing this version and I am obviously going to win, the other player doesnt make their next move and then runs out the clock and the game is frozen and then suddenly I LOSE! Theres a bug or virus or glitch in this game. REALLY REALLY ANNOYING.

Lots of fun. Great game with some good (and evil!) personality!

The computer doubling cube strategy is flawed in hard mode. The computer will accept ALL doubling requests, even if about to lose.

Seems like any time AI tries to double you can almost guarantee it will roll doubles on its next roll. But for a free app, pretty good!

Except I cant stop playing!! Its a wonderful problem.

This game had so much going for it. Nice look, nice interface. Somehow the computer rolls doubles repeatedly, while I roll 1s and 2s, which takes the fun out of the game.

Would love games to have some sort of currency or points system for longer challenges

Its very frustrating that the rolls are fixed. Why cant you just fix it? It doesnt make any sense to me that the dice are fixed. Graphically the game is fine.

Good game to play

Good app
