Avoid this app
Impossible. The dice frustrate the game and the enjoyment of the game. There needs to be an amendment of the code
Frustrating when playing solo as dice is not random
I play solo to learn the intricacies of the game but the dice will always roll to take out my pieces. When pieces are trapped in the start area the dice rolls unfavourably so I am unable to use the throws. The dice gives me less doubles in total, and always rolls to make sure that even if I am in a winning position it will ensure that I lose. I am up to level 5 but so sick of the biased dice rolls that I will stop playing or look for a backgammon game that is not so biased. There is no learning or enjoyment with this app. I have deleted it

Best game ever
Lots of fun
Great game. No ads. no bs
This is a great game. It’s a classic. And the functionality of live play works really well.
Relaxing downtime
A very fun game, exciting at times and you can play as fast or as slow as you like. Try playing against others from time to time, to truly gauge your “level”. Comfortable graphics. I usually play in silent mode.
Bad app
No skill involved. As you move up in rank, dice just become rigged
Perfect.
This is the only game I use every single day.
Bad dice don’t play
The dice are bad and the developer knows it. On top of that the bot knows the dice rolls and it’s simply unfair. Don’t believe the developers lies it’s not a fun game.
Bots rigged
The bot got me out leaving a checker open on 4 so all I had to do is roll a 4 and id get my checker back in and knock out one of its. I didn’t roll a 4 for 3 turns. All of a sudden the bot rolls a 1 and moves to leave the checker open on the 5… and that’s when I roll my 4. The bot knew I’d roll a 4 that turn and moved accordingly.

Dice roll
The concept that the dice roll is truly random is just a lie. The higher the level the worse the dice. Three times in a row you doubles with only that number blocked? Really
It’s impossible to design random
… and this app is the perfect example of this statement of fact. You or your opponent needs a 1 and 6 to get on and get their opponent. Now the individual who just got 1/6 only has 3/6 covered and their opponent gets 6/6, then 6/3, then 3/3. And loses. Random can not be computer generated. This an every other app that states as much is committing fraud. Now if you are looking for a game to waste the hours while watching tv knowing full well your skill set only matters about 50-60% then go have fun.

Too frustrating
Loved the game as a solo player in the beginning but as my level increased it seemed that the program favors the computer unfairly and now it's just too frustrating to play -it seems the dice rolls just exactly what it needs to hit its opponent or has a higher proportion of doubles. Just too frustrating to play this app!

Dice are NOT random
App would be great if it had fair/ random dice... however it is very disappointing because of how obviously rigged the dice are. Makes the app unplayable. Update: still most laughably rigged dice I've ever seen. Do not play
4.2 stars
What a joke ! This backgammon is so bad and stupid it’s pathetic!!!!
RIGGED!
Devs hide behind the law of large numbers, but that doesn’t prove rolls are assigned fairly. A game could have a perfectly normal long-run distribution while still selectively giving the computer favorable rolls at critical moments. That’s the issue: not that the computer simply rolls “better,” but the extraordinary frequency with which it seems to get exactly what the board demands: exact hits, escapes, doubles, and crucial bear-off rolls. If the devs want to prove otherwise, pre-generate the dice sequence independently of the game state and make it verifiable afterward. Until then, a normal overall distribution does not prove fair, independent rolls, and by not implementing this it is only proof that they are rigging the dice.
Take a read through the reviews and see for yourself. The proof is in the pudding.

Don’t waste your time !
Rigged Dice
Rigged dice rolls that favour the algorithm instead of being random. Game looks good which sucks because of the bias dice rolls .
Rigged Dice As Usual
Each version receives dice that are more and more loaded against you, with just enough wins to keep you going. Have not yet found an app with straight dice.
CHEAT!!!!! LOADED DICE.
The most obvious cheating game I’ve ever downloaded! Stay away and trust me, you’ll find a better version. 0 stars.
