Never seen so many double ones and 11’s when it is the only numbers I can get hit on. Still a fun game to play. Wish customer service would explain the scoring in more detail. ### 4/5 — Rating *2024-02-21, version 1.12* Enjoyment galore Honing my skills for sure ### 4/5 — Addicting *2023-12-18* Although I think it is rigged so everyone ends up around 50/50 win losses. Never seen so many double ones and 11’s when it is the only numbers I can get hit on. Still a fun game to play. Wish customer service would explain the scoring in more detail. ### 4/5 — Backgammon blitz *2023-09-14, version 1.12* I love this game ### 5/5 — Backgammon Wins *2023-07-09, version 1.12* Love this game I finally found something I’m really good at. ### 5/5 — Fun game *2023-06-29* When you can’t play in person, this app is fun! **Developer response:** We appreciate the kind words! Keep enjoying the game!- Tether Studios ### 5/5 — Backgammon blitz *2023-04-22, version 1.11* Great game ### 5/5 — Entretenido *2023-03-31, version 1.11* Es un juego muy retador para los que nos gusta el backgammon. ### 5/5 — This game is addictive *2023-03-09* Very well done. I can’t stop playing. Thanks **Developer response:** Thanks for taking the time to rate and review! Keep on playin :) -Tether Studios ### 5/5 — Classic game *2023-01-25, version 1.11* Game is awesome!! Battles are fun and the chat feature is cool! ### 5/5 — Great fun but not to make money *2023-01-08* Great games and fun for all, but if you’re playing any of the games you have the option to play for cash or play for tokens. Tokens are given for free and you can win tokens, as well as get as a log in bonus or watch an advertisement. You can play for cash but it is impossible to win real cash unless you plan on being really skilled at the game of choice, perfect your play, have several hundred to start and play all day and night. There are about 100 people you will see at the top of leader boards on all games for rewards and tournaments. You will win games but you pay 60% of total purse should you win, so if you win one and lose one, you’re not even. ### 5/5 — Great game , no ads *2022-11-23* Love that there are no ads just wish scoring tutorials were better explained ### 4/5 — Addicting *2022-11-02, version 1.11* Although I think it is rigged so everyone ends up around 50/50 win losses. Never seen so many double ones and 11’s when it is the only numbers I can get hit on. Still a fun game to play. Wish customer service would explain the scoring in more detail. ### 4/5 — Backgammon Twist *2022-10-19, version 1.11* Good game but not the full version I’m used to! Still fair, and as challenging as your opponent and/or luck would have it with rolls. ### 5/5 — Fun way to pass time. *2022-07-27, version 1.11* Fun ### 5/5 — Fun *2022-07-05, version 1.11* Fun game ### 5/5 — Super *2022-06-28* Super Spiel ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Urgh 👎🏻 *2022-03-22, version 1.10* They’ve broken a perfectly decent game! This version is so pathetically boring I couldn’t even be bothered to go through enough practice games to get the bonus cash…. 👎🏻 ### 1/5 — Loved the game - but.... *2021-01-14* The game slows you to get login bonuses. Z coins, or tickets. Tickets are about useless as they are reset each month so unless you play continuously which would force you to buy more Z coins. The balance of getting tickets or z coins is way unbalanced... I tried reaching out to support and was given the response of reading the faq. ### 1/5 — Mechanics designed so that you lose 1/2 the time *2020-08-26, version 1.09* Don't play for money. The game pairs you you players of equal ability, so you'll lose about 50% of the time. Since they take a cut, you'll lose money in the long run ### 1/5 — All Blitz Winners are paid actors not worth playing *2020-02-02, version 1.07* This app is fixed let’s you win but not to cash out anything fake and waste of time all the Blitz games ### 2/5 — What happened ? *2025-09-20* I played this game for years with other online players when it was part of Skillz. Now the multi-player version with chance to bet real money is gone and I feel like all my friends disappeared. ### 2/5 — Stalling *2020-12-29* I like this game but I am ready to delete this app and never give a dime. When you lose it shows your result almost right away. When you win, it take forever for them to show results because they just want you to keep playing and paying. Game is not still in process!!!! ### 2/5 — The captures from opponents are consistently *2020-09-28, version 1.09* unrealistically & frustratingly one sided. However I understand this is a gaming app intended for entertainment but to win the higher percentage. Thanks but I am done. ### 2/5 — Update ruined game *2019-10-16, version 1.03* Recent update ruined this game. Especially the change from 3 to 5 minutes. Takes ALL the time pressure away. Will move on. ### 3/5 — Skewed AI leads to abuse of advanced players *2022-05-13* They have a system in place for “fairness” so lower skilled players have a chance. This leads to advanced players facing a much tougher AI and essentially being cheated out of wins against opponents of a much lower skill level. ### 3/5 — Mrs. Grandma *2019-07-04, version 1.0* Better directions with a way to re read them. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Great game *2025-07-03, version 1.13* Very good ### 5/5 — Backgammon Blitz *2025-03-16, version 1.13* Hello, Excellent 👍 I am impressed. ### 5/5 — Backgammon Blitz *2024-12-27, version 1.12* Its a great game, you can win if your fast! ### 5/5 — Challenging *2024-09-28, version 1.12* It’s a game of luck and skill, I’m still learning to play it ### 5/5 — This experience really elevates the gameplay *2024-05-19* I’m impressed and I look forward to seeing how this new category evolves. ### 5/5 — 👍 *2024-02-06, version 1.12* 👍 ### 5/5 — Fun way to pass time. *2023-10-26, version 1.12* Fun ### 5/5 — Backgammon *2023-08-19* Top Spiel ### 5/5 — Backgammon blitz *2023-08-09, version 1.12* Great game ### 5/5 — Great game *2023-07-09, version 1.12* Very good --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
