Good game, but...

At first I liked it. PLays well with no issues. For that I would give 5 stars. BUT - there's just too many ads, and the ones that took over my entire screen, well, that ended it for me and cost 2 stars.

Stuck on an ad

Can’t play it. It is stuck on an ad and won’t move.

Great game how do you double

How do you double should have a rules and procedures

Good game, useless amount of commercials



Great design, but needs some work on functionality

First off, the design of this app is great, probably the best available in that regard. However, it lacks some basic functionality that would make me actually want to use it regularly. The main issues are that there’s no doubling cube (an essential part of the game), and that the computer plays very poorly with no option to change the difficulty, which makes the gameplay boring. There are also minor annoyances like not being able to use both dice to move the same checker with one tap. If they fixed these issues, this app would be fantastic and I would happily pay for it, even.

Moves too fast

You can’t see the moves because it moves too fast and there’s no option to slow it down.

Great design, but needs work on functionality

First off, this app looks great—probably the best available in that regard. However, it does need some features added to be something I’d actually want to use. Primarily, there’s no doubling cube, and the computer plays very poorly, with no option to change the difficulty setting. There are also some minor annoyances like not being able to move the same checker with both dice at once with one tap. If they add that functionality, this could easily become my preferred backgammon app, and one I’d happily pay for even.

The best offline backgammon game

I w been struggling to find a decent backgammon game which I can play in the subway. This is better than anything else I’ve tried so far, and I’ve gone through 12-14 of them.

AI seems to be reasonably competent, although I’ve only played two games so far before the app asked for a review 🙄

When bearing off there are some minor quirks, and I’ve also not found out how to double, but those niggles aside this is good enough for me to delete every other backgammon app I have installed.

Simplicity is Divine

So simple. So good. Lightweight. AND…the dice throws seem to be truly random. Thank you making a backgammon app that’s not bloated or contrived!

Nice game

This game helps me teach my grandchildren the game!
