At first the games seemed fair. They got increasingly less fair over time. ### 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. ### 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!! ### 2/5 — Spiel ok, Werbung zuviel. *2026-07-22* Ohne die wirklich sehr sehr viele und nervige Werbung wäre es super **Developer response:** Hallo. Wir verstehen und entschuldigen uns dafür. Um unser Spiel weiter zu verbessern und es kostenlos zu halten, müssen wir Werbung zeigen. Sie können uns unterstützen und Werbung durch In-App-Kauf im Shop entfernen. Und wir werden versuchen, die Werbung besser auszugleichen, um das Spielerlebnis zu verbessern. Danke. MfG ### 2/5 — Fixed Rolls *2026-07-14, version 4.3.13* I posted an earlier review (mid-June) about how this app froze at loading to 85%-88%. I rated this app a ”1” at that time, sadly. The developers really did a nice job getting the upgrade fixed, and the upgrade has gone through a couple iterations since. I want to give this backgammon app a “5”, but I cannot, sadly. The plus side is every time I have emailed the developers, they have been very prompt to respond. They have asked the right questions, they took care of the issues, and even followed up with me. They demonstrate that they care and they want to fix the issues. 5 STARS for that!!!! The downfall has been the rigged rolls which EVERYONE has experienced throughout the latest upgrade iterations. It has become RIDICULOUS regarding the improbability of rolls needed and what is being made. Even those rolls to my advantage. Prior to the recent iterations, the rolls still appeared to be “normal”; I.e.: within statistical probability. Lately, the improbability has become absurd. The randomness of rolls needs to be fixed, please. This is still a better-than-average backgammon app. I do enjoy it and find myself playing nearly every day. But, let’s get real here, guys! Let’s return to absence of normalcy. Thanks! Dr Jimmy33982 ### 1/5 — Бот безобразный. Ужас! верните нормального бота *2026-07-12* Одни подставы. Зачем? Боту все время выбивает твои фишки УЖАС. Верните нормальную версию со случайным выбросом кубиков оценка 0 **Developer response:** Спасибо за ваш отзыв. Нам очень жаль, что у вас сложилось такое впечатление. Хотим заверить, что все броски кубиков абсолютно случайны для всех игроков. Подскажите, пожалуйста, о каком именно боте идет речь? Вы имеете в виду Эдуарду (Eduarda)? Пожалуйста, напишите нам подробнее на почту info@appgeneration.com, чтобы мы могли во всем разобраться и помочь вам. Спасибо! ### 1/5 — Cheating *2026-07-08, version 4.3.13* I have read a lot of the comments and apparently you have a big problem with this game cheating!!!! FIX IT!!!!!!!!!!! ### 2/5 — Game fair, but ads make it not worthwhile *2026-07-06, version 4.3.13* Several minutes of ads that cannot be bypassed before game. No paid version available. Deleting. More time watching ads than playing. ### 1/5 — Rigged roles *2026-07-03, version 4.3.13* This game could be great but the roles are unnatural and if you play long enough you will notice the game will role the dice in the favor of one player. It’s so obvious that no one can deny the roles are rigged. Too bad because this could be a great game. ### 1/5 — Terrible *2026-07-03, version 4.3.13* Single player mode is terrible. The computer opponent always throws exactly what it needs. Absolute rubbish. The ads are seemingly interminable too, but I accept that as the price for playing a ‘free’ game. ### 1/5 — Highly manipulated app *2026-07-02, version 4.3.13* Everything with this app is fixed. From the dice rolls, to the eventual winner. Which the app selects. Supposedly you are playing against a live opponent, but in reality you are playing against the app. Even the spin wheel is fixed, in alternates between a token or points, every other spin. Play some games, you'll see. ### 2/5 — Tiresome! *2026-06-27, version 4.3.09* I like the app, don’t get me wrong, but I hate the amount of ads! It is refreshing to find a game that appears to be playing fairly in one player mode v AI. Others I have tried always throw exactly what it needs to win! If there was an option to kill the ads I might continue with this app, but it really annoys me so much as it is. ### 1/5 — Buggy *2026-06-25, version 4.3.09* Fun for a few days, but app closes and must restart and lose game, even when playing live, very frustrating, had to delete ### 1/5 — BS Game and Algorithm! *2026-06-25, version 4.3.09* Programmers want you hooked so don’t be shocked when beginners get perfect doubles and you roll 2 and 1s 4 times in a row and lose! The losers here are the game’s programmers - sick MFs ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 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!!! ### 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.

Inzwischen sind die Würfel sehr unfair geworden , Von daher macht es keinen Spaß mehr.

Vielen Dank! ### 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… ### 1/5 — Gym *2026-07-22, version 4.3.13* I was well on the way to a win when my opponent rolled doubles 4 out of 5 rolls for the win. Random? I don’t think so. ### 1/5 — Rigged roles *2026-07-20, version 4.3.13* Absolutely rigged rolls. Play long enough and you will notice a pattern. ### 1/5 — Very flawed game *2026-07-20, version 4.3.13* The developer seems to love to reply to reviews with “all dice rolls are 100% random”. Well, it’s an algorithm that controls the dice, and algorithms are not random. Play this game a few times and you will see the controlled dice rolls. I’ve played tournament backgammon for over 25 years, and if the dice rolls were like in this game I would have quit plying a long time go. Completely ruins the game. ### 1/5 — Prohibits Legal Moves *2026-07-13, version 4.3.13* how do I send you a screen grab of an allowed move that your game will not allow? tks ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Backgammon *2026-07-03, version 4.3.13* I play every day for fun ### 5/5 — Great game *2026-07-03, version 4.3.13* Love this backgammon game. Play it all the time. Great for playing with friends. ### 5/5 — Great APP *2026-06-25, version 4.3.09* Love it wish they would let u interact directly with your oppome ### 5/5 — Ads *2026-06-24, version 4.3.09* I use to love this game but now there are ads ### 5/5 — Loving the weekly challenges *2026-06-22, version 4.3.09* This is a great game, I love the weekly challenge games ( one has to think very differently with the varied starting set ups) ### 5/5 — Phew! *2026-06-22, version 4.3.09* When the game crashed and it got stuck loading, I thought Apple had removed the game, I looked for a replacement, but none of them were as good as this. I love the weekly challenge and so pleased it is back. ### 5/5 — Love this game *2026-06-21, version 4.3.09* Real classy look and feel. Enjoy playing They respond quickly to issues. ### 5/5 — Not opening *2026-06-21, version 4.3.09* For the past two weeks, this app is not opening. It tries to open but stops at 84%. Is anyone else experiencing this problem? If so, perhaps programmers can fix the issue. It is typically a good game but obviously if you can’t play it’s no good. ### 5/5 — Superb Customer Service *2026-06-21, version 4.3.09* Thank you for being super responsive when the app on Apple iPhones stopped working recently. Appreciate the swift reply to my email and the super fast fix. Now back to playing and love this backgammon app!! 🎉👋🏼🎉👋🏼🎉👋🏼🎉 ### 5/5 — Bkptny *2026-06-20, version 4.3.09* Perfect --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
