### 2/5 — Uncanny

*2021-02-22, version 7.01*

It’s amazing how the AI always gets the exact roll of the dice that it needs

### 3/5 — It’s okay

*2020-06-25*

It’s not too bad. It can be easily beaten however, don’t leave your men open because it mysteriously gets the numbers it needs .. always. AND when it’s getting closer to the end and it needs the right numbers to win or stop me, the dice even start to turn slow so that it can think. 
Bottomline, it would be nice if it actually played random rolls with intelligent moves.

### 3/5 — Nice

*2019-08-07*

I like this app mainly because it offers a variety of games—not just backgammon, but plakoto, etc.. I’m not a math whiz by any means, so I don’t know whether or not the dice rolls are random and honest. So, here’s my suggestion: the developer of this app should make it possible for the app purchaser to choose between app-generated dice rolls and manual rolls done by the purchaser with his or her own dice. A brilliant idea, I think.

### 3/5 — Backgammon 16 games

*2018-01-08*

I like the variety of games in this app. The only thing I don't like is the timer. Why does it have to be running ? It is especially annoying to have it running while I'm trying to read the rules for how to play the different games

### 3/5 — good game but bugged

*2017-04-15*

after one of updates bugs occure quite often. Dices become invisible and there is no sound. iPhone 7 (last ios update)

### 2/5 — AI moves too fast

*2016-03-01*

Ok I guess. Could not follow the game as the computer moves way too fast.

### 3/5 — Для любителей мазохизма

*2016-02-22*

Дизайн и функционал на 4+, но при игре с "устройством" есть твердая уверенность, что играешь с шулером, бросающим кости из рукава :)

### 1/5 — Favors the house

*2015-11-10, version 5.02*

Very slow piece movement, and non-random dice rolls.  In 20 consecutive games the ratio of doubles rolled by me vs. doubles rolled by the computer was 1:4.

No doubling cube.

### 2/5 — Another update, another oversight

*2015-03-09*

The latest update did speed up game play as far as faster tile movement.  But, now doubles cannot be rolled.  I guess they'll fix this glitch eventually, but we'll see what else they screw up....

### 1/5 — Want a refund

*2014-07-15*

Downloaded and does not work on my iPad :///

### 4/5 — Nice Features - Needs Tweaking

*2013-05-08*

Likes: 
-   Has undo feature.
-   Has "I'm Done" button so you have the chance to undo after last move.
-   Multiple skin choice including a high contrast board.
-   You don't have to hunt too hard to find the sweet spot when selecting and moving.
-    You can make compound moves with one touch instead of moving one position for each die.
-    AI has two modes: Aggressive or Defensive.
-    Play against AI or Human
-    Rolls seem fair.
-    Inner Board plays off to the bottom right like I am used to.

Dislikes:
-    You can double - but I can' figure out how. Maybe they're working on it.
-    You can set match length - But that doesn't seem to work either yet.
-    It would be nice to be able to keep the sounds active but kill the music.

Fix these and it gets a 5 Star!

### 1/5 — Game is rigged in favor of AI

*2024-12-25*

There’s absolutely nothing random when the AI rolls the dice. The AI will always roll exactly what it needs. If it needs an ace deuce, it will roll it. If it needs a back to back ace deuce it will roll it. I like playing ace/deuce but the AI wins close to 95% of the time because the programmers programmed the AI to always roll the dice in favor of the AI. This app is better than most other apps, but it needs to be a bit more fair and honest

### 1/5 — Voll besch………

*2024-04-12*

Es ist überaus nicht nachvollziehbar, wie man eine Version von dem Spiel so mies programmieren kann. Ich spiele leidenschaftlich gerne dieses Spiel aber das hier ist echt eine Zumutung. Selbst die Bezahlversion ist richtig schlecht. Wenn ich könnte, würde diese App nicht einen Punkt von mir bekommen. Arbeitet mal an euch und spielt das Spiel mal in echt und dann setzt es um in eine App, die auch funktioniert. Daumen hoch für so einen Schrott!!!

### 1/5 — Все плохо

*2023-07-25*

Не возможно начать онлайн сессию. Купил, думал после покупки получится. Нет, все так же. Не советую покупать

Не покупайте. Вылетает. Жаль потраченных денег.
Do not bay. Nice but buggy. Don't wast your maney.

### 1/5 — Stürzt immer ab

*2017-10-28*

Hab das Spiel gekauft, da ich keine Werbung haben wollte. Leider sind nach ein paar Runden die Würfel weg und die Spielsteine. Ich muss dann das IPad neu starten, damit es wieder funktioniert. :(

### 1/5 — Rigged

*2017-04-17*

AI is faulty and game is rigged overall

### 1/5 — Cheating backgammon game

*2016-11-26*

Going to delete this app!!! Just when you think you're winning iPhone gets doubles 2 in a row! UNFAIR game!!! 😡

### 1/5 — I want to love this game BUT

*2016-08-17*

It cheats! The rolls are not as random as they seam. If I play with the AI set to neutral, and I play defensively everything goes the way you would expect it, but the moment I leave a piece open even if it is 18 spots away the AI always gets the roll it needs to take it.

The graphics are great, I love how many different games are in it, but without an actual random dice cup, it just isn't worth the money.

### 1/5 — Dice is not fair!

*2016-05-05*

I have played 100+ games (all types), and in every single game the computer roll more doubles. Please fix it!
Just checked the new update, and the developers didn't bother fixing the problem.
Do you even bother reading the reviews???
FINALLY!!! After the latest update, the player now have "0" doubles in 5 out of 6 games played. Wonderful! Keep up the good work.

### 5/5 — Great game

*2012-07-30*

I really enjoy playing it!!

### 4/5 — A great app

*2023-04-16*

I was very pleased to find an app for Greek Backgammon and downloaded it on my iPhone 7 a few years ago. I then removed it after a while because of lack of space but now that I have an iPhone 12 with a lot more memoryI have downloaded it again. Unfortunately it is difficult on this phone to close the app! I can get around that but it is a bit of a niggle. Great app otherwise!

### 4/5 — Great app but....

*2016-04-12*

The animation is extremely slow. Even slower with this new version.
