No way to escape the ads

I would literally pay to turn off ads but that isn’t an option because the app developer has no option to remove ads at all! Let users give you money! Insanely stupid.

Tap to move should move
Clicking to roll dice is annoying
No option to auto play when rolling to release a piece
Too many clicks. Too many ads

Too Many Bugs!

Love the format of the game, but the amount of bugs in has, most annoying one being its frequent freezes, make it unbearable to play. Tried deleting and reinstalling- there’s no fixing it. Will regretfully uninstall.

Too many ads

There are just too many ads. I know that is how the app can be free, but this is too much. Not just between games, but in the middle of games too.

Ads

Ads appear and unable to get rid of them and back to your game!

Barrage of forced purchases to continue playing

Can’t get through more than a game or two without being bombarded with pushes to buy other apps — with no way of resuming a game without making a purchase. Do not install.

Too many ads!

No way to opt out of the nearly constant advertisements. I asked how to do so and got no response.

Awful

It always a same

Too many ads

Too many ADs

Turn Off WiFi access to remove Ads

For those of you complaining about too many ads, just turn off your Wi-Fi capability and you can play the game off-line ad free… 😎

Backgammon

Rigged after playing a while.. gets tiring

Few advertisers

Great app gives you time to actually look at the game and think about strategies and tactics.

Roll

Some of the buttons are in an awkward spot.

My opinion

Very fun game would be better if no ads and you shouldn’t have to pay for it

Ads

To many ads after each turn.

Even the adds are fun!

This is my favorite backgammon app, I tried 3 others and this one doesn’t have casino aspects. Just straight up backgammon. And the adds are even fun games to play

Needs add removal

As I read elsewhere the adds are annoying. The typical pay to remove option is missing. As are any contact the creators/techs option to report things. Ergo this review hoping they’re reading this.

Irritating

It’s so irritating that, after I win a game, I am not the automatic first roller for the next game.

Seems to cheat

The mechanics of this game are pretty good, but the rolling of the dice is far from fair and random. I’ve played hundreds of times, and 99.9% of the time the AI wins the opening roll and moves first. It also seems to roll the exact combo to jump me immediately when I expose a checker. And yet, I can still win most of the time.

Deleted to save my mental health!

The algorithms governing this game are among the most anger-inducing I have ever encountered. Playing against the app is guaranteed to raise your blood pressure, and exponentially increase your use of expletives. The gameplay bias in favor of the app has to be seen to be believed - but don’t put yourself through the experience. I deleted the app today to protect my mental health, and I already feel better.

Ads

Every time an ad appears during a game (a lot) when it returns to the game you’ve lost
