### 4/5 — Backgammon

*2026-07-29, version 4.6.6*

My only complaint is that the "random" dice roll doesn't really seem to be random.

There is a quirk that randomly will not allow legal moves and forces me to make moves that will give the computer a distinct disadvantage

### 4/5 — Pretty decent

*2026-07-24, version 4.6.6*

Hi

### 4/5 — Backgammon

*2026-07-09, version 4.6.6*

GOod game however cannot concede defeat easily. Computer does not take the most advantageous point off the board, will move point internally rather than taking another point off the board.

### 4/5 — Backgammon

*2026-06-16, version 4.6.6*

Good game

### 5/5 — Macht Spaß

*2026-06-05*

Die erste Spiele sind gespielt. Im Moment macht dieses Spiel nicht den Eindruck, dass die Würfel eher zu Gunsten des Computers fallen. Mal sehen wie es weiter geht…
Es bleibt Gut.
Klare Empfehlung!

### 5/5 — Great graphics

### 5/5 — Fun Fast Game

*2026-06-01, version 4.6.6*

Love a good Backgammon game!

### 5/5 — Fast fun and fair!

*2026-05-31, version 4.6.6*

Doubles seen fairly distributed, game us faster than the other ones I’ve played. Super fun to have the different variety options!

### 5/5 — Gammon

*2026-05-20, version 4.6.6*

Fun

### 5/5 — Backgammon HD

*2026-05-18, version 4.6.6*

Easy to play, good graphics, straightforward process.

### 2/5 — Scoring Bug

*2026-05-15, version 4.6.6*

Programmers do not know the rules for scoring a GAMMON or BACKGAMMON.  Maybe they should have developed a different game if they didn’t know the rules.

### 3/5 — JR907

*2026-05-14, version 4.6.6*

I LOVE this game. And playing against the computer at my skill level challenges me. The reason I’m not giving it a 5 star is because the board many times becomes corrupted and I have to uninstall and reinstall the app! Then I lose my tournament stats!!! And I PAID for this version thinking that because it was a pay for use the problem would stop. It did not!

### 5/5 — Great fun

*2026-05-11, version 4.6.6*

Good game, I recommend

### 5/5 — Fun to play against the game

*2026-05-11, version 4.6.6*

I love Backgammon, and I love being able to play without another human.

### 1/5 — So problematic after three years without updates

*2026-08-07, version 4.6.6*

I like the feel of this, the look, and the play. Always have. But on an iPad mini 6 the ratios are off and the pieces don’t line up right on the board anymore.  The level score doesn’t work right anymore, either.  I might be at 2600 at the end of the night, and the next morning I’ll see that I’m back to some lower number because it forgot what I earned the night before.  And it’s always an issue since I have this on the phone and an iPad to keep those points correct even though they share the same game center account. Find something that is actively being kept current because this one is just a nightmare now.

### 1/5 — JR907

*2026-07-27, version 4.6.6*

7/27/26 This is my 4th review and I still have the same problem!!! Please fix it!   7/07/2026 THIS IS MY THIRD REVIEW. I STILL HAVE THE SAME TROUBLE WITH THE APP AS I STATED BELOW. I WOULD HAVE GIVEN A FIVE STAR REVIEW.  Update on my last review same as here. Nothing has changed from the message below. I LOVE this game. And playing against the computer at my skill level challenges me. The reason I’m not giving it a 5 star is because the board many times becomes corrupted and I have to uninstall and reinstall the app! Then I lose my tournament stats!!! And I PAID for this version thinking that because it was a pay for use the problem would stop. It did not!

### 1/5 — Crazy dice

*2026-07-27, version 4.6.6*

I had gone a large number of games without incident… then crazy dice… time to put it in the bin…

### 1/5 — Rolls not random

*2026-07-05, version 4.6.6*

Trying to find a game that rolls naturally, this is not it.  Four 6-3s in a row, really? While the computer hits all its required rolls.  I’m ok with losing games but this is not enjoyable

### 1/5 — Great game but screen continually messes up

*2026-03-05, version 4.6.6*

This is a great game, but the score box drops into the playing field on a regular basis and game must be deleted and re-installed all the time. Why would the designers fix this problem. If that was fixed I would give this game a solid 5 stars. Please fix.

### 1/5 — Beware

*2026-02-01, version 4.6.6*

Force payment of update

### 1/5 — Deceptive Images

*2025-12-30, version 4.6.6*

The images shown here show multiple board and pip options. Game only offers the green, black and white option. No different than the free version. Don’t waste your money.

### 1/5 — Was ist los?

*2025-12-06, version 4.6.6*

Läuft seit kurzem nicht mehr…
iOS 16

*2026-08-07, version 4.6.6*

R

### 5/5 — Almost as good as in person

*2026-08-04, version 4.6.6*
