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. ### 3/5 — Too many ads! *2026-06-06* No way to opt out of the nearly constant advertisements. I asked how to do so and got no response. ### 3/5 — Ads *2026-03-12* To many ads after each turn. ### 2/5 — Seems to cheat *2026-01-12* 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. ### 2/5 — Deleted to save my mental health! *2026-01-07* 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. ### 2/5 — Ads *2025-12-31* Every time an ad appears during a game (a lot) when it returns to the game you’ve lost ### 3/5 — Half & Half *2025-12-07, version 1.25.1* Great distraction. ### 2/5 — Ads in the middle??!!! *2025-11-05, version 1.25.1* Ads in the middle of a game. Are you kidding me? Delete! ### 2/5 — Obtrusive ads. *2025-10-07, version 1.25.1* Horrible. ### 4/5 — A lot of ads *2025-09-21* I like the game. there’s just lot of ads thru it. ### 1/5 — Frustrating in game ads *2025-08-31* Sneaky game waited a week before becoming an unbreakable wall of ads ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — No way to escape the ads *2026-08-03, version 1.25.1* 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 ### 1/5 — Too Many Bugs! *2026-07-07* 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. ### 1/5 — Ads *2026-06-15* Ads appear and unable to get rid of them and back to your game! ### 1/5 — Barrage of forced purchases to continue playing *2026-06-13* 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. ### 1/5 — Awful *2026-05-31, version 1.25.1* It always a same ### 1/5 — Backgammon *2026-04-25* Rigged after playing a while.. gets tiring ### 1/5 — Encore un jeu qui triche honteusement *2026-03-22* Tout est dans le titre… lancement de dés totalement faussé. Avis aux éditeurs : un jour les joueurs en auront vraiment marre et vos jeux n’intéresseront plus personne ! ### 1/5 — Irritating *2026-02-04, version 1.25.1* It’s so irritating that, after I win a game, I am not the automatic first roller for the next game. ### 1/5 — Cheating game *2025-12-02* It says it doesn’t cheat, but it does. Badly! Surprisingly it can always roll the right number to knock me out but I can never roll the right number to knock it out. Things that make you go, hmmm? ### 1/5 — What reviews? *2025-10-07* You don’t post any? Easy to guess why ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Turn Off WiFi access to remove Ads *2026-05-23* 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… 😎 ### 5/5 — Few advertisers *2026-03-29* Great app gives you time to actually look at the game and think about strategies and tactics. ### 5/5 — My opinion *2026-03-20* Very fun game would be better if no ads and you shouldn’t have to pay for it ### 5/5 — Even the adds are fun! *2026-03-03* 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 ### 5/5 — Great!!! *2024-09-06* The only problem is that they don’t offer ad free!!! ### 4/5 — Too match *2026-08-09* Bonne vitesse. Beau look. Agréable à jouer. 🐸🙋🏼‍♂️ ### 4/5 — Too many ads *2026-05-30* Too many ADs ### 4/5 — Roll *2026-03-27, version 1.25.1* Some of the buttons are in an awkward spot. ### 4/5 — Needs add removal *2026-03-01* 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. ### 4/5 — EYE OPENER *2025-11-06* The game is fun until the computer begins to throw dice in its favor. Example: I have the computer trapped. So, the computer begins to give me outcomes that leave me open, but the computer has outcomes that keeps itself covered. Or it will throw low outcomes for itself and high outcomes for me, forcing me to leave my chip open to hit: So it hits, sends me to the bar where it will not let me reenter the board until it has a winning position. I have other examples but this is enough for starters. I will never play with a computer casino game as result of this game. The computer rolls dice in its favor frequently. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/). User reviews are verbatim App Store reviews.
