Leave a Review The Backgammon
Big time cheater
Okay, I’ve counted to verify over an extended sample. This app does NOT use honest dice unless someone rewrote the laws of averages. The more difficult settings manipulate the dice rolls to make it harder to win. You will get approximately 6 2/1 rolls for every 6/6 roll. Also instead of a double every 6 rolls like you should get, it will be about 1 every 10 or 12 rolls instead. The app also is ridiculously stupid in late game situations. Accepts stupid doubles and proposes doubles even when it only needs one game to win for instance. Many other idiotic moves as well. Sheesh. Can anyone recommend a backgammon app that is both honest and intelligent in all game scenarios. I haven’t found one yet.Show lessvuyvkjnijhoii
Fun but unreal
Used this game for a number of years. It’s ok if you treat it as just fun, but it’s just not representative of “ over the board” backgammon.
The higher the rating you achieve the more the dice rolls are unrealistic. It gets to the stage when you simply can’t leave a blot without it being taken off the board.
I’ve learned to change account name regularly to avoid the software taking over.Show lessacasdai
Rubbish
I can play backgammon to a reasonable level. On here I swing violently from unbeatable to not being able to win at all. This is not the nature of real backgammon.
At some point during the start of the game the program will decide who is to win and who is to loose. Then, no matter how ridiculous the dice rolls need to be the designated winner will win.Show lessCrackaig
AI Factory Is code for Advertising Income
at the expense of your time. The AI algorithm is so fast just look at the released updates since this program opened up multi player play 3 years ago, that it can subtly tweak the dice outcomes to keep smart, addicted players positioned in front of their ad server just long enough to make a handsome profit at the expense of your time and effort in mastering the game. True, they have a very good game but it’s outcomes are far from fair. So I leave it up to you. Swallow the red pill or the blue pill. It’s your choice. Hahahaha.Show lessfacts-first
Statistically Impossible
Dont get why you would develop a game tgat statistically is not neutral. Doubles for the computer when in bearing off phase are so blatantly in favor of the computer it makes the game a poor example if backgammon.TheButchie
Add’s
I like the game. It seems fair, but the add’s make you take a break after every game. I would pay for add free.GOLDANDLAPS
Ads Are Persistent. Cannot X out of them.
Acorn Investing ads are the worst. The ad finishes playing. I am not interested. There is no X. The only symbol is >> which takes you to the App Store. Even if you go to the App Store you cannot get rid of the ad and return to the game unless you close the application and restart it. Acorn is not the only advertiser that does this. Others have an X that is impossibly small so you end up at the App Store anyway. Again you cannot close the page and return without restarting the app.
I would gladly pay for this app. It’s an excellent game. But you cannot buy this app. You must endure the ads. You must visit the App Store. You must download the advertised ad. Or you must close and reopen the game. This is unethical and unacceptable. I am disgusted with both the AI Factory Limited developers for foisting this on us, and with Apple for permitting such abuse by the developers in the App Store.Show lessClearance Clarence
Not Random
The roll of the dice is not random. At level 5 it rolls whatever roll it needs. When bearing off it rolls two or three doubles while I get none except in situations when it would not effect the outcome. It would be a very good app if randomness were used with every roll.tembellplayer
Dice rigged
The dice are rigged so ai wins most game starts and more doubles. I quit this game. Will find a better backgammon gameMrDJD55
They cheat
Twice I lose a game I am clearly winning when the computer rolls double 6’s 4 times in a row.Glyde56
