### 1/5 — Rigged roles

*2026-08-23, version 4.3.13*

Too bad the roles are rigged and you are not playing a live person during live play.

### 1/5 — Gym

*2026-08-22, version 4.3.13*

I deleted and reinstalled the game due to what I thought were accounting errors. After reinstalling the game my level went from 93 to 1. My score went from over 7,000,000 to about 200. I uninstalled the app and reinstalled it again and I am back to a level 93 and my points have been restored. I don’t understand how that happened but I am glad it did. The game refused me to make a legitimate move until it timed out. It is a great game with problems. Some day hopefully the problems will be addressed.

### 1/5 — Rigged Algorithm

*2026-08-20, version 4.3.13*

Game starts out fine. The more you play the more predictable it becomes. Opposite player will roll multiple doubles to my few or none. Make the game more realistic!!!

### 2/5 — Help

*2026-08-18, version 4.3.13*

I like this game, by lately it randomly quits in the middle of a game — it is super annoying!!!  Please figure out a way to fix this glitch.

### 4/5 — Overall great BUT SOME PLAYERS CHEAT

*2026-08-17, version 4.3.13*

About 15% of the players found a way to cheat the system. I am not sure how. When a player has a series of roles that have less than a one percent probability and that happens consistently, then there is an issue. Again, 85% of the games are fair and honest. But 15% of the games are clearly rigged and not mathematically possible.

### 1/5 — Es wird immer unfairer und schlechter

*2026-08-07*

Es war mal mein Lieblingsbackgammon
Jetzt macht es keinen Spaß mehr
Ich verliere nur noch - bitte ändert das wieder
Es hat sich sehr verschlechtert. Inzwischen sind die Würfel sehr unfair geworden , Von daher macht es keinen Spaß mehr.
Ich bin eine gute Spielerin und verlier fast jedes Spiel gegen Anfänger
So läuft das nicht

**Developer response:** Hallo! Es tut uns sehr leid, dass es zu Ladefehlern kam. Wir haben ein Update veröffentlicht, das dieses Problem vollständig behebt! Bitte aktualisieren Sie das Spiel. Ja, online spielen Sie gegen echte Gegner. Bei weiteren Fragen oder Anregungen können Sie uns gerne unter info@appgeneration.com kontaktieren. Vielen Dank!

### 4/5 — The best BG app so far

*2026-08-06, version 4.3.13*

This is so far the best BackGammon app I ever played. And I’ve played most of them. Key moments – first of all it gives you all your points. If you win 1000, you get 1000, if you lose 1000 – you lose 1000, every other app takes percentage off of your winning points for some unknown reason. Usually 40%. You win hundred, you get 60. Total scammers. Not in here, and this is very important, because they do not try to scam  off your points, kudos to developers. Another one – dice generator. This is the best dice generator so far that I’ve seen. like I said, I’ve played most of the Backgammon apps. Most of their dice generators  suck. And you can predict the dice that your opponent is going to get with 90% possibility. They will always get that one in a million combinations that will make you lose. And again - Not in this game. 90% of the time the dice is random, once in a while, it might give you two or even three doubles in a row, but that happened to me only once in more than 100+ games I already played, and this can really happen sometimes in real game. And Sometimes is the keyword here. In all other times, the dice is absolutely random and unpredictable, which let you play to the best of your abilities without knowing that your piece will be hit with almost 100% possibility in the most crucial moment of the game. 
  Couple things might need some tweaking, but I wouldn’t even mention it, not to give the developers any ideas that might affect the whole performance :))
  If it works fine do not try to fix it. 
  And most importantly, I’ve played BG for over 50 years by now, so if you do not make any dumb moves, you’ll be able to earn your points pretty fast. 
  Although sometimes I think that the person that I’m playing, is not real, because some moves  they make look  ridiculous, but hey, we are different, we think differently  and who knows,  maybe that is the way they play. 
Verdict- Good App!👍

### 2/5 — Help

*2026-08-01, version 4.3.13*

I really enjoy this game, playing with friends etc.  But, for some reason it randomly quits in the middle of a game — that is very frustrating!!

### 1/5 — Schönes Spiel nicht mehr

### 1/5 — Vomits out continual stream of long commercials.

*2026-07-30, version 4.3.13*

Seemed to be a great game until it started requiring constant consent to its data gathering on behalf of “trusted vendors”. It wasn’t enough to reject their options once, no, it was constantly filling out the same consent form even though each time using my information was restricted. Since then the game persistently and consistently vomits out a continuous stream of commercials that go on and on and on…
