Leave a Review Backgammon Online 3
Could be improved
I've played several online games and it works reasonably well. Seems a little insensitive when tapped, but maybe that's my iPod rather than a bug. What I do wish is that the board could be configured so that direction of play or colours could be changed to suit my preferences.Psparry
Fits the bill
I wanted an interface to the FIBS server and this app provides it. This is better than the Backgammon Premium app I have. It would be 5 stars if priced right.SoCalCat
Riped-off
No one online, no games to play. Real waste of money.......Hugo RE/MAX
Still no games available
Lol... This is almost getting funny !! Bet this review won't get printed either !! Waste of cash...unable to actually get a game !Shaunalyn99
Saved gmes
The worst thing about this game is after some ppl just drop the game they usually don't come back and after like 10 saved games caused by some idiots, you won't even be allowed to play. Is it to hard to make a system that this would be prevented? After all this isn't a free app.
So do not use this app!!!Show lessJerenAKAharlem
Junk
Software freezes and is upside down, don't waste your money,Don't buy this junk!
Superb
This is an excellent app that connects to the FIBS (first Internet backgammon server) and allows games to be played against other players of varying ability. Use of FIBS is free and just requires registration via the FIBS website.
The app provides a very easy to use interface with FIBS and a very attractive board. It would be even better if games could be saved for later analysis.Show lessrich_nine
Fibs and game center
And a great multiplayer backgammon game.mattenat
Online FIBS Play is Great!!!
Don't let the mixed reviews for this app fool you. The Online FIBS, where you can play people all around the world, works great! I have been on the FIBS network for the last 5 hours, since I bought the app, and I have had no glitches.
I can't speak for the Game Center part of this app, because I have not tried it yet. I wouldn't expect it to work as well as the FIBS network, only because the community isn't big enough yet. At least for the backgammon community. I am sure it will grow over time.
FIBS is the place to be if you want to play backgammon online, though. I'm from New Jersey and I just finished playing an hour of games with a guy from Egypt. Crazy!
I highly recommend this app if you were big into FIBS before the iPad. It's a great way to continue to be a part of the online backgammon community without have to be stuck in front of your computer.
Great job on the app guys!!!Show lessStarvinArt
V1 is better
This version is not as good as the v1 iPhone app installed on the iPad. It's very slow to move and does not have good color contrast options. Don't buy this one, but do buy the v1 for iPhone and install it on the iPad. The only inconvenience is that it doesn't do player list landscape, but it's much faster then v2.Show lessIpad2xxx
