I’ve used this game for quite a while and I generally like it, but there are some annoyances.
First up, I’ve noticed a bug in the current version where the game pieces become incredibly small to the point of being barely visible. This usually happens after a few times playing. Killing the app and restarting fixes it. This is a fairly new problem and the app has otherwise been solid.
Second, be aware that the game cheats. The dice are rigged. This is what immediately obvious from the opening roll where the game wins a hugely disproportionate amount of the time. It also happens during game play. Backgammon can be frustrating enough without this.
At the moment I’m using the free ad based version. The reason I haven’t upgraded to the full non ad version is because the ads are annoying. I won’t buy a product that is intentionally annoying. There are two aspects to this.
If I don’t want a product, making me sit through an extended ad for it isn’t going to change my mind. Annoying ads are why people buy ad blockers. When are advertisers going to clue in to this?
The second and in my mind unforgivable act is that on several occasions I have been forcefully exited from the app and dumped into the App Store, presumably to buy the annoyingly advertised product. Not gonna happen. If this behavior persists this app will be deleted permanently.
