It accepts way too many doubles and then frequently re-doubles when it shouldn’t even have accepted the initial double in the first place. When I re-re-double, at least it immediately concedes. This gives the non-computer player a great advantage. The second problem with this app is it doesn’t understand what a backgammon is. The game will declare a backgammon has occurred even if the losing player has cleared all his men from the opponent’s home board. One other glitch I wish they would fix; they should allow a player to concede a game when it is hopeless. It is depressing to continue when you know the game or the match is unwinnable. ### 3/5 — Strong BG app. *2019-06-01, version 5.0.1* Overdue update to good BG app. Strong bot and easy to use UI. My only complaints are that the computer seems to immediately double after you do or when he is behind and there is no tutor associated with the doubling cube, also when you save a game it reverts back to before you saved it, it is a shame these issues are not cleared up as the app store needs more strong BG apps. ### 2/5 — Retrait du jeu en ligne *2019-05-23* La possibilité de jouer en ligne avec des adversaires réels a été retiré, c’est vraiment dommage ! ### 2/5 — Bien mais peut mieux faire *2019-03-23* Il faudrait qu’il y ait du son sur l’envoi des dés et sur le jeu en général. Il faudrait pouvoir mémoriser les scores lorsqu’on éteint l’ordinateur et reprendre ainsi la partie plus tard. ### 4/5 — Great game *2018-11-13, version 4.1.5* Pretty tough opponent at the expert level. My only beef is the annoyance of the screen being dimmed when it doubles - makes it very difficult to assess your situation. ### 2/5 — Crashes *2018-03-05, version 4.1.5* Since writing a complimentary review 6 moths ago this app has reverted to frequent crashing. Unfortunately Mobivention refuse to see this as a problem and after months of lobbying by myself and other users there has been no fix. It is exceedingly frustrating to be winning and then have the app freeze and disappear from the screen. I am now searching for an alternative BG app and advertisers should do likewise. ### 4/5 — Backgammon Gold *2017-11-30, version 4.1.5* Love it!! Frustrating tho that Computer always gets me even with only one number possible, but I can have 3 possibles and miss 😡 ### 4/5 — Je ne peux point m'en passer *2017-06-10* Le meilleur backgammon pour moi meme si souvent le jeté de dé semble incohérent **Developer response:** Merci beaucoup for the review. ### 3/5 — Cheats *2017-05-13* Every time I am ready to win, the game crashes. If there are 4 spaces for my piece to land on the opponent's side, the dice does not give me the numbers needed; but if it's my side and there is only one place for the computer to land on, it always rolls exactly. **Developer response:** Please update to the latest version. An please rest assured that the app is not cheating. If you experience issues with crash or gameplay please feel free to contact us at support@mobivention.com ### 4/5 — Latest version is much improved *2017-05-10, version 4.1.3* Backgammon Gold is getting much better. Most issues have been addressed except for being knocked out of a match due to the server not connecting, even when your own wifi is operating perfectly. That apart, it is great. ### 2/5 — Для чего кубики прыгают? *2017-03-28* Прыгающие кубики замедляют игру, сделайте возможность выбора. Кубики как раньше, и кубики как сейчас! **Developer response:** Dear Backgammon user, can you please describe the issue in English language, so we can help you. ### 3/5 — Good backgammon app *2017-03-19, version 3.4* Sometimes it can be difficult to connect. Needs to have more members, often hard to find a player ### 4/5 — Good backgammon game *2017-02-07* Really like this game and play it often off line. The computer is easier to beat since the last upgrade but is still challenging. **Developer response:** Good to hear that you like the game. ### 4/5 — Not clever doubler *2016-11-01, version 3.3* Quite a good app, but not very clever with the doubler: counts pips rather than number of moves to clear. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Too slow, can’t see pieces properly with board colour. *2024-11-14, version 5.3* Horrible board design, waste of money. ### 1/5 — Screen loads upside down *2023-05-12* Latest update loads upside down on my windows PC ### 1/5 — Cheats *2020-08-24* I was hoping with recent updates that this game would stop cheating, but alas, NO! Please fix this. I love Backgammon, but this is ridiculous!! ### 1/5 — Don't waste your money on this game. *2019-11-29, version 5.0.3* This used to be a great game. However, a couple of updates ago that all changed. Now the game cheats. If it needs one specific roll of the dice, it will roll what it needs. If you get too far ahead, it will roll itself doubles (as many as 5 or 6 in a row) while giving you an ace/two or the only available roll that will leave you exposed (and then, next roll the game will roll what it needs to put you on the bar). I've had this game for years but no longer play it as it is simply no longer fun. 3/28/17- Update. This latest version doesn't seem to cheat like the last versions. I'll need to play more to be sure. April 11, 2017 - Still cheats. Save your money. Don't buy this game. 5/13/17 - I see the developer claims the game doesn't cheat. Uh huh. Well, the game sure is "lucky" then. Example, rolling 4 doubles in a row after all the pieces have passed each other, on a fairly consistent basis. Yup, this game sure is "lucky." As I originally said, don't waste your money. 6/8/2017 - Sadly nothing has changed. The game still cheats (or manipulates the way the dice rolls are used). I cannot recommend this game. 11/25/2019 - GAME STILL CHEATS ON ROLLS OF THE DICE. DO NOT WASTE YOUR MONEY ON THIS GAME. IF YOU DO, YOU’LL LOSE TWICE. ### 1/5 — Très déçu! *2019-05-21* Quel dommage d’avoir supprimer le jeu en ligne qui permettait jouer contre des joueurs sur Internet. Sans cette fonctionnalité, je ne vois vraiment pas l’intérêt de jouer contre l’iPad. C’est vraiment stupide et je n’ai aucun plaisir À jouer contre un ordinateur. C’était beaucoup plus amusant de jouer contre d’autres joueurs même si des fois je me recevais quelques insultes… Au moins c’était très vivant ! J’espère que vous allez changer votre choix rapidement. En attendant, je vais devoir chercher un autre jeu de backgammon qu’il fasse à peu près la même chose que la version d’avant. Envoyez moi un message dès que vous aurez remis la fonctionnalité de jouer contre d’autres joueurs… **Developer response:** Thank you very much for your positive review. This is what drives the whole team to further improve the app. ### 1/5 — RUBBISH. *2018-05-24, version 4.1.5* Win every game in a row and then lose every game in a row. How does that work? It’s got to have a self limiting algorhythm at play. Which, at the end of the day, makes playing meaningless. ### 1/5 — Backgammon Gold *2017-01-06, version 3.3.4* Don't waste your money. The game is rigged.Tired of opponent stomping on my every move. YOU ARE EITHER ON A WINNING STREAK FOR 1 day, or you are CONTINUOUSLY LOOSING to non skilled idiots! For several months. Yes I a mad. Not a fair app. ### 1/5 — Don't waste your money *2016-12-17* The dice rolls or not random. I've played over 100 games and it seems that the App decides who a winner will be even before the match begins. It gives the "favored player" the exact rolls they need to hit their opponent. Don't waste your money on this game. The programmers that made this game are bollucks. **Developer response:** The dice are truely random. And the game is not rigged - in no way. And what sense would this make? If you do not believe that the dice are truely random, you can even use external dice provider random.org. Just activate the option in the settings menu. Or you can even roll the dice yourself. Then you will notice, that there is just a good AI, an award winning one. ### 1/5 — Dice are not random on harder levels *2016-09-16* I've kept track and in 20 games it rolled exactly what it needed 100 percent of the time off the bar and I never did. It is statistically impossible for me to fail and it to succeed consecutively like that. We are talking billion to one odds of each die being perfect for the situation. Don't waste your time nor money. **Developer response:** The dice are truely random, but we use an award winning AI. Backgammon is a lot about strategy and only a little bit of luck. So do not overextimate what dice can do. ### 1/5 — Aucune amélioration *2016-09-05* J'ai acheté le premium en espérant avoir plus d'options Ex : raccourcir le temps de 60 secondes car il arrive suivant que l'adversaire attend la 59 émé seconde pour jouer histoire de t'embêter quand il est en train de perdre. Je suis vraiment déçu **Developer response:** Indeed you have more options, like another AI level, no Ads, more statistics, more online game options, ... But you are playing against the same players as within the free version. And if you play against friends you can chose such friends, based on their playing behavior. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Backgammon premium *2019-08-19, version 5.0.1* The look of this game has totally changed,the unfinished games do not save,hoping you can help Liz. ### 5/5 — Yes *2017-07-09, version 4.1.5* Great game ### 5/5 — Love it! *2017-06-11, version 4.1.5* No more bugs! Great app! I spend waaaay too much time here ### 5/5 — Vraiment très bien ! *2017-01-14, version 3.3.5* Facile à jouer, idéal pour ceux qui commence. Mode tutoriel pour nous aider. Bravo !!! ### 5/5 — Great AI *2016-12-30* Playing against the computer is great because you have very granular control over how well the computer plays. All the complaining about the dice is bs. Why would a company building a backgammon app waste time and effort creating a cheating game? I've not played against humans but you can get much better just by playing the computer. **Developer response:** Thanks for the great review. It is good to hear that you like the app and understand that there is no cheating. Wish you a lot of fun with the app. ### 5/5 — Fab app *2016-11-08, version 3.3* Great Backgammon game, just challenging enough. ### 5/5 — Love It *2016-06-22, version 3.2* The go to app for backgammon lovers such as myself... Hey, I didn't say i was any good at it, but it's addictive as heck and fun to play :) The one and only thing I might add to a wish list if there was such a thing would be some more board designs. A few of them are more geared toward the younger set perhaps, which is okay but a few more classy adult oriented designs would be great! ### 5/5 — One of the best Backgammon games out there. *2016-02-29, version 3.2* This is an eye candy of a game, with some great functionality. Online, the experience is excellent, with players sometimes turning down games for unexplainable reasons. But overall, the game is the best in class, and I keep returning to it. ### 5/5 — Great game *2015-11-02, version 3.2* Not sure if the dice are totally random, but I can live with that, so only 4 stars for that reason ### 5/5 — Difícil *2015-02-20* O jogo contra o computador eh ótimo e dificil --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
