Does not work on iPhone 12
This highly-rated app is unusable on an iPhone 12.jmp4u
DO NOT BUY!
Expanding on my earlier review, I tallied up the 28 starred reviews and here’s how they came out: 12 one-star (counting mine), 3 two-star, 3 three-star, NO four-star, and 10 five-star. The absence of any four-star reviews, which created an inexplicable jump from rotten to awesome, and the fact that all the five-star reviews sounded remarkably alike made me suspect (and I’m being kind here) that they are without truth or merit and were likely written by the developer. Bottom line? This app is not even mediocre. It is useless. Do not buy.Show lessDoktormolly
Useless
cannot use this on my iPhone 12. The formatting is not compatible. Checkers are overlaid over the screen without reference to the board or points.User interface is broken and unusable
I have an iPhone 12 and on my screen the graphics are completely broken. The checkers appear outside the board and it’s impossible to play. I regret paying for this useless app.adhook
Waste of 3 bucks!!
Beware!! I wish I read the warnings before purchasing. Apple should be ashamed of allowing apps like this on their site. There should be a one hour cancellation policy!!Twistof82
Buggiest app ever
Where to start? Game board display places chips not centered on the points, point numbers appear off the board, can’t discern where the opponent is moving, etc., etc. I’ve been robbed by buggy apps before, but this was the quickest realization that I’d been taken.123Nancy
AI cheats
I write this after first move of a new game. Black (AI) starts. Black moved w19/w21(2) and w12/w14(2), but dice show 52. That would be a valid move if the dice were 22 (=2222), but the roll to choose who starts can not be a double. Using the rollback button, the moves unwind and the dice roll is now shown as 22. Play forward, then rollback to have dice shown as 52. BOZO (I used screenshot on iPad to preserve evidence).
Note: my experience matches Austin3443! & Antiduplicity: excessive doubles for the AI "player"
Take-Away: this stand-alone app is not a good lure for the companion website with "games" having cash prizes.Show lessMathPoly
No Support
I found a bug with the latest software that allows illegal moves. There is nowhere on the site that I see to contact the company to let them know. Poor.Dd801dd
Don't buy it
Trying to change number of games in a match crashes app every time. Backgammon NJ HD is a far superior app in many ways. If you are serious about backgammon, choose that.Sashayuli
Worst game ever
I've been playing backgammon for 30+ years and have played a number of these games. The algorithms are ridiculous and the game gets many times more doubles than the human. I bought the pro version and deleted it after about 10 matches. Terrible game.M3B1
