### 1/5 — Doesn’t Work

*2026-05-29*

Won’t work, very frustrating.

**Developer response:** Hi there, we are sorry that you're having trouble with the app. We would love your specific feedback about the issues you are seeing. Please send us information and our development team will fix it ASAP!

### 3/5 — This game is rigged

*2026-06-09*

Like so many of these games, the harder skill levels are really just rigging the dice.

**Developer response:** Hi dells68, thanks for the feedback — I get why it can feel that way, but I want to be clear: the dice are never rigged. Every roll, at every difficulty, uses the same unbiased random number generator. Difficulty only changes how well the computer plays the moves it's given — Easy makes deliberate mistakes, while Expert uses a neural network to pick stronger moves and make smarter doubling decisions. It never sees the dice in advance and never gets better rolls than you.

What you're noticing is real, though: a strong backgammon player structures the board so that more dice combinations work in their favor — more shots hit, fewer rolls dance on the bar. That can absolutely feel like luck is one-sided. It's the same reason expert human players seem "lucky" too.

If you ever hit a sequence of rolls that seems truly off, I'd genuinely like to hear about it!

### 4/5 — Random checker

*2026-08-18*

There a random white checker that appears when white is close to home it covers the actual checker that is in play it is difficult to move out of the way and sometimes the in play checker disappears. If there is a purpose for this random checker I have not figured it out but it sure is annoying.

### 5/5 — finally!!

*2026-04-05*

so many backgammon apps on here are full of ads or have in-app purchases for really basic stuff. this one is just simple and nicely designed. worth it.

### 5/5 — Simple

*2026-03-26*

Super clean. No ads. Works great!
