Also when the update came out I couldn’t play it. Also sometimes when I double up it automatically gives me a point. It doesn’t take consideration that I could be forced to open ### 4/5 — Smooth play *2026-08-30, version 3.8.6* This is the smoothest, fastest game play for backgammon, and I’ve played it for five years. After many, many games I felt I started seeing a pattern, and I feel like the harder levels aren’t based on better skill on the computer side but better roles. Compared with other online backgammon games, the number of times the computer opponent gets all the spots filled trapping you, or the exact perfect rolls needed seem to defy odds. Could be that in only this app I’m ridiculously unlucky, but it happened so often that I decided to try a different app and haven’t seen the same thing. Still for beginner to mid I feel it’s fun and even the harder ones can keep my mind working despite the roles that perfectly place everything.. ### 2/5 — Bots *2026-08-29, version 3.8.6* There seems to be too many “bots” controlling play, and the app doesn’t do enough to combat those obvious accounts. ### 2/5 — Nice game but dice roll is wierd *2026-08-28, version 3.8.6* Every time you risk a piece at the ends of the game the dice always roll to that piece always!! ### 2/5 — AI??? *2026-08-28, version 3.8.6* Playing the lower level games (solo) feels competitive, however as you progress through the levels the dice become too ‘weighted’ …sorry, the AI appears to become too intuitive. At level 9, while you can win the odd game out of every 20 or so played, the AI consistently wins the run of the dice, so much so that whichever move you make, the dice will enable your ‘opponent’ to either take you, block you until it’s home board is loaded, or only enable you to move so that you will be taken on its next move. Is it fixed, who knows…is AI so ‘clever’ that it makes the higher levels pointless…?? ### 2/5 — Cheats *2026-08-25, version 3.8.6* This game stacks the dice rolls against you when playing Solo mode and advancing up the levels. ### 1/5 — Why bother *2026-08-25, version 3.8.6* Lose ### 1/5 — Utter bollo… *2026-08-25, version 3.8.6* Impossible. The dice frustrate the game and the enjoyment of the game. There needs to be an amendment of the code ### 3/5 — Rigged as rigged get *2026-08-25, version 3.8.6* Great design but badly rigged dice. Who wins in 3 rolls game after game. Please. Even live play is rigged. I’m an addicted pro at this game so for me it’s not about winning but when it’s so obvious that perfect dice are being thrown once too many times… that’s another story. Fix it please. ### 3/5 — Good/Bad *2026-08-24, version 3.8.6* It’s the best interface I’ve found for playing on a phone but the notion that the dice rolls are random is absolutely BS! I can literally predict what rolls are coming in certain situations. ### 1/5 — Cheat Dice and All double for opponents *2026-08-23, version 3.8.6* 0 star.All double dice coming for opponents not yours.DONT PLAY THIS GAME ### 3/5 — Rigged rolls? *2026-08-23, version 3.8.6* Same games are fair and some are so obviously rigged because there’s no statistical chance that the exact dice needed to absolutely kill would be rolled. Very frustrating. Also forget the levels of play, I’m guessing they’re just more rigged rolls. Just give me a game that represents real life play. ### 4/5 — Not random *2026-08-23, version 3.8.6* First game you will nearly always lose. ### 1/5 — Total joke *2026-08-22, version 3.8.6* The rolls are so predictable it’s hysterical. Your opponent couldn’t get better rolls if they were placing the dice themselves. Very frustrating. The developer must be laughing every time. ### 1/5 — Game rigged so you lose *2026-08-22, version 3.8.6* The dice rolls are rigged so you lose. Played 20 games and didn’t go first once. Bot gets all the doubles and player gets none. Download a different app ### 1/5 — Clearly a cheater! *2026-08-21, version 3.8.6* Everything is ok till you unlock the final level: the Champion. The game literally gets every dice roll it needs. Waste of time! Wonder how the developers think we won't notice! ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Joke *2026-08-30, version 3.8.6* Game started great no ads fair play. Then after a while it started with ads every other game then game play would always favor opponent who would always get the rolls they needed to get ahead. Tons of doubles and all I would roll is ones and twos. It wouldn’t bother me but 10 times in a row is a joke ### 1/5 — Rigged. *2026-08-29, version 3.8.6* When you’re playing in the lower levels, you get great roles on the dice. And the opponent makes obviously stupid mistakes. As you work your way up the roles get crapier and crapier. Your opponent stops making mistakes and it’s rolls consistently put it in a better position. Sorry, I wasted the money on this one. It’s a shame because it has great graphics. ### 1/5 — Dice return buttons and doubling sux *2026-08-29, version 3.8.6* Where they put the 2x cube to auto button and dice return buttons are too close. Fix it. ### 1/5 — Utter rubbish *2026-08-29, version 3.8.6* Impossible. The dice frustrate the game and the enjoyment of the game. There needs to be an amendment of the code ### 1/5 — Bad dice don’t play *2026-08-28, version 3.8.6* Seems like a lot of people are seeing the same patterns in the dice rolls. There’s obviously a problem with it and the developers don’t wanna look into it. Bot games have crazy different dice rolls than online games. Leave a peace open and there’s an 80% chance the bot will get the exact dice it needs to knock it out. I do love the interface, much better than other games here but the dice rolls just makes it unplayable. ### 1/5 — Loaded Dice *2026-08-28, version 3.8.6* This game is a disappointment when you get a ways into it because the algorithm starts making sure the computer gets perfect rolls. You can almost tell the moment when the algorithm decides you’ve been doing too well. Suddenly, you can only roll the least helpful things and the computer gets the best rolls. It will always be able to hit your pieces, set up a perfect wall, and get all the doubles it needs. If you’ve played with real dice long enough in life, you know this kind of rolling is impossible at this frequency. I’m done playing the stupid game because it’s not fun anymore. ### 1/5 — Cheat Dice and All double for opponents *2026-08-27, version 3.8.6* 0 star.All double dice coming for opponents not yours.DONT PLAY THIS GAME.TOTALY F@King FAKE ### 1/5 — Look Elsewhere *2026-08-26, version 3.8.6* Cheating Game ### 1/5 — Rigged *2026-08-26, version 3.8.6* Been playing this game for a very long time, have reached level 10. The patterns are obvious and predictable. Wouldn’t recommend. Don’t waste your time. ### 1/5 — Not Random Rolls *2026-08-25, version 3.8.6* If you play this game enough, you will realize the rolls are in now way random. They are programmed to roll certain numbers with certain scenarios. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Great app *2026-08-30, version 3.8.6* It’s a great app, probably one of the best out there. At the highest levels the die do roll in favor of the computer so I keep deleting and reinstalling the app in the hope of resetting back to a balanced level. At times it’s easier to get a fair play at a lower level which is less interesting. But overall def one of the better apps out there ### 5/5 — Fun *2026-08-28, version 3.8.6* Smooth programming and accurate rules. ### 5/5 — Dice are loaded *2026-08-24, version 3.8.6* Not statistically possible for the computer to keep rolling the dice that it does ### 5/5 — The best *2026-08-24, version 3.8.6* Been playing this exact one for years unarguably best amongst all plat forms simple fast and to the point include more automation so that player input takes the longest time and not animation ### 5/5 — So good *2026-08-21, version 3.8.6* Best Backgammon game ever made ### 5/5 — Developers do listen *2026-08-20, version 3.8.6* I have had question and suggestions over the year of playing this game. The team behind it has been responsive. This is a well polished game now. ### 5/5 — Best game *2026-08-19, version 3.8.6* There are many backgammon apps , this app has the best visual, sound, and format of a real wooden backgammon! It’s easy to maneuver. Highly recommend it. ### 5/5 — Great game *2026-08-19, version 3.8.6* I’ve been playing this app for years and gain a great deal,of pleasure from it. No distractions, no chit chat, no flashes or pop ups. ### 5/5 — Great game great app *2026-08-18, version 3.8.6* Great classic game easy to play with no extra money needed ### 5/5 — Absolutely love *2026-08-18, version 3.8.6* So much fun. Never experienced a glitch. Appreciated the tips as a beginner. After years of playing it still never gets old! --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/). User reviews are verbatim App Store reviews.
