Good Game except….

This is a good game with not too many annoying commercials. I would buy it and skip commercials altogether but it tends to not run smoothly sometimes. Sometimes you have to punch the green arrow many times before it works and sometimes when you move your piece it keeps coming back to where you moved it from. Fix these little quirks and I will buy it.

Not Random

This game is a farce and not worthy of your time. It’s default is to cheat.

Nothing to learn here

If you came to this app to learn strategy, move on. The strategy seems to revolve around controlling the dice. In easy mode, you get favored rolls. In hard mode, the opponent gets favored rolls. In medium mode, maybe the rolls are fair, but the opponent’s strategy is poor.

Graphics are good, but rolling the dice is a waste of time, as are the ads.

Sorry, moving on.

Response from developer

Hi. Thank you for your comment and for reporting that bug. Our development team is working on it and will fix it in the next update! We have made our dice 100% random. If you have more information about this, let us know at info@appgeneration.com. Thank you. Hope you keep enjoying the game

Game is rigged, Ai rolls double 6s every time you’re about to win.

Download any other game and have a good experience

Rigged

The game blows. Another app that constantly beats any odds of losing. Never in history has a game set you up to lose more than this or any backgammon game available through the App Store. Undoubtedly impossible odds of losing yet sure as the sun rises in the east, it does. Save yourself the disappointment and aggravation and never ever waste your screen space with a garbage game like this

Hard setting = favored dice rolls

I am a very good backgammon player and I’ve found playing in the single vs. computer mode at the “hard” setting overwhelmingly favors the computer’s dice rolls. There is no way the rolls are random because the computer is almost always getting perfect, lucky rolls.

Further, the strategy programmed for the computer’s play is to bump the opponent, no matter where it’s at on the board. Talk to any relatively knowledgeable backgammon player and they will tell you it’s not a good idea to open up stones that have progressed around the board unless it’s the only play available. I’ve deleted the game.

Unfair rolls

Your program is the worst when it comes to fair rolls. Many times the only rolls that comes is to put me in jeopardy or lose the game. I can only believe it is to get me to purchase coins. I have been playing backgammon for many years and have never seen such consistent terrible results. Will never play this again!!

Ridiculous cheating!!! - single-player!

If you are looking for an enjoyable backgammon game to play against the app, this is not it!! I thought I had found one when I first started playing this but it didn’t take long to realise the game does not like to lose. It throws doubles for itself just exactly when it needs them and if you are on the bar and need to get back in play, forget it. It will not give you the necessary dice values until it has successfully populated its home board. Ironically, when it has to get counters back in play, it miraculously is able to throw the correct dice values!! Unbelievable. On more than one occasion, due to the fact I did not trust it any longer, I carefully counted the dice values it would require before exposing one of my counters and suddenly the app displayed its inability to count (it needed a five to land on my counter, threw a six and still landed on me and put me on the bar!!!). The coders of this game really do not understand the meaning of ‘random’. I’m a good player but this app is a ridiculous cheat. I’m leaving this comment just before I delete the app.

Hmmmm

Ever since I criticized the software I can’t win to save my life. What a crooked bunch of software. There is no way is is random any longer.

Rigged

I absolutely loved this months ago, but now…not so much.

I had acquired over 2,000 coins and since then have lost almost every game due to the opponent being given multiple doubles.

This was my favorite game to play, now not so much as I am down to less than 50 coins.
