My favorite game, but…

the ad experience of ‘Woodoku’ is frustrating! I have to shut down my iPad to get rid of the ad every single time it pops up. Surely it’s been reported by others? I love this app. Please, require the advertiser to add an eXit on the ad. Thank you! UPDATE: I am deleting this app due to this one ad. It’s ridiculous to have to shut down my iPad to continue playing each time the WOODOKU ad plays.

Slanted towards computer

Computer will always get what they need to hit you & rolls abundantly more doubles than you ever will. Frustrating! You rarely get what you need to hit. One space open to come off Center - computer will roll that. 3 spaces open for you takes multiple rolls to get giving computer lots of time to block. Love the challenge but not when after multiple games the slant is so obvious!!

Hello, Thank you for your comment and for playing Backgammon. Our dice are 100% random. We are sorry if this is happening often and we will take a look at it. If you have more information about this, let us know at info@appgeneration.com. We want to make the game fun and fair to everyone! Thank you. Best regards

Fun to play but …

iOS user. App functions well no issues there. However, after a while I started to question how fair the dice rolling is as it seems that the “AI” always seems to roll what’s needed but not the user. Yes I am winning games but it feels frustrating when dices always seem to roll more advantageous for the AI:( . I do understand that the developer needs to monetise through ads but after every single game it becomes annoying and one loses pretty quick the patience hence me deleting it. Would have actually paid for an ad free version but it this option isn’t available. What a pity because I love the game and would have paid for it.

Hello! Thank you very much for your review. We do our best so that the AI is fair and the dice rolls are 100% random but sometimes we are less lucky and other times more lucky. In many games, the best player always wins more often! We have to show ads to keep the app free but we do have an in-app purchase for those who wish to remove all ads :). If you are interested in that, please click on the coin icon in the upper right corner of the screen. Hope you are enjoying our game. Good luck! Best regards.

Too few real players

The game is ok and the dice throws appear random. However, there aren’t enough players and in Play Online mode (which promises games against other people) you mostly play computer generated players. The game does not tell you this but passes them off as real.
I suspected this for some time, because for example, I was NEVER a matched with a player with a higher coin count and the vast majority of players have names made up of two random words stuck together. I then looked more closely. Having made a note of the opponent’s coin count during the game, I challenged it to a new game after beating it. When it accepted it came back with the exact same coin count, which should of course have been lower.
It’s kind of stupid to post an in game emoji to a computer! The game should make it clear if you’re not playing a real person.

Dear user, Thank you for your feedback. We have forward this to the development team in order to be taken into consideration in a next version. Best regards, Support team

bug when someone can’t bear off

Great game for playing online. But latest version has a bug that ends the connection to your opponent when someone can’t roll because the home board is blocked and they can’t bear off. If I have my home board blocked and opponent can’t bear off, after I have opened the home board and they can roll, they never roll again and I win by timeout. And whenever opponent blocks their home board and I cannot roll, after opponent rolls once and if I still cannot bear off, they never roll again and I win by timeout.

Ads stop the app

Why would you use ads that freeze the app? After each game is an ad. Most of the time the ad does not have a way to close it, requiring to close and reopen the app. It is too frustrating and I will be searching for this game by a developer that wants me to stay on the app.

What are you thinking? Is this your way to limit how often or long I play?

Hello, We thank you for your review and apologize for the ads. We know they are annoying but they are what makes it possible to maintain the app free for our users. In fact, they should not be appearing as you described. Could you please send us mail at info@appgeneration.com with more details (such as the name of its advertising network)? Regards, support team

Great game

Used to be good but now awful

As of a few days ago all roles are duplicated for 2 player game. Meaning if the first person rolls 5, 2 the opponent then rolls 5,2. And that just goes on the whole game.
Also, I paid for no adds but adds have started popping up again. Don’t buy.

Hello. Thank you for reporting these issues. We will release a new version today that should fix these bugs. We are sorry for the inconvenience. Thank you

I like this game

This game is made for players that like to play.
The chat is nice as you can communicate well, no direct
statements just pre selected, no ability for personal attacks that
ruin the play.
