### 3/5 — Rigged

*2026-02-08*

I have been playing backgammon for almost 50 years. I find it suspiciously odd the house can roll in one game consistent numbers to hit your player or always manage to enter after being hit. If this were a FAIR game, both sides would have equal opportunities. Unfortunately, this app is rigged.

### 2/5 — good game but slow

*2025-07-06, version 1.3.1*

a nice hame but very slow, too much step by step guidance and slow move response.  gets boring quickly.  did not see doubling
 cube either but this may be a menu item.

### 2/5 — Too Slow

*2025-02-12, version 1.3.1*

Need this to double click and move faster...never seen one as slow as this

### 2/5 — Easy to beat

*2023-12-04*

This program could be great if they just changed the predictability of the dice. I found that the dice follow a very predictable pattern. Amazingly the last roll when I have two pips left is always a double. Also I’d the computer has a pip on the bar, it will alway roll the exact numbers it needs to get back on the board. If the fix the dice i5 would be great.

### 2/5 — Dice roll

*2023-10-15, version 1.2.4*

Dice rolls are completely Not random, but are pre arranged to make you win or lose a number of times!

### 3/5 — Will Do in a Pinch

*2022-08-16*

The AI makes it difficult to play a authentic game. It is apparent that the computer begins to roll doubles when behind.

### 2/5 — Review

*2022-06-15*

Too slow and the higher level seems to roll itself doubles to catch up when it’s behind. The high level should just move with better strategy and not get better dice to win. I wish there was one game that did this.

### 1/5 — Terrible version

*2022-05-01*

Rolls are totally unrandom, and heavily favor the computer.
Rolls to see who goes first went to the computer 92% of the time. 
No doubling.  
Allows for illegal moves. 
When bearing off, computer gets a big majority of the big doubles.

### 1/5 — Отзыв

*2021-08-07*

Жесть, вот это тормоз. Пять минут игры, снесла нафиг

### 3/5 — Agonizingly slow

*2021-07-24*

Enough said

### 3/5 — Too Slow

*2021-07-11, version 1.2.2*

I have played with another backgammon app via my android and it has a fast feature and automatic play once you are in your house. Wish this app. would offer the same features.

### 1/5 — TOO MANY BUGS. Needs work

*2021-05-28, version 1.2.2*

Needs work

### 1/5 — Dice are predictable and slow

*2021-03-27*

The game feels compelled to continue giving instructions regardless of level of play.  The dice obviously are set to roll specific outcomes at different play levels and not random.  First, the game wins the first roll over 85% of the time.  And if you have a pip that can be barred, You can predict that mother luck will be on the computers side and it WILL roll it.  And if you are coming off bar and say only the 6 spot is blocked,  I have rolled four consecutive sets of double 6s to not let me off the bar.  This is NOT random.

### 1/5 — Disappointed

*2021-03-12, version 1.2.2*

At level 4 almost impossible to win very predictable so biased against the player and predictable

### 1/5 — 星１以下

*2020-12-07*

稀に見るゴミアプリ。
レベルを上げても上がるのはCPUの戦略ではなくサイの目の出方。通常の確率論ではおよそ起こり得ないCPU有利に特化したサイコロの目の連続に心底イライラします。
アンインストール推奨。

### 1/5 — Not Worth Playing

*2025-06-26*

It is absolutely ridiculous that the computer gets the perfect dice on EVERY SINGLE FREAKING ROLL. It’s not realistic and extremely aggravating.

### 1/5 — You do not know the rules of Backgammon!!!

*2024-11-09, version 1.3.1*

Learn them.

### 1/5 — Don’t waste your time !

*2024-07-15, version 1.3.1*

So biased that it’s an absolute joke ! Don’t waste your time. So irritating.

### 1/5 — Dreadful

*2024-03-17, version 1.3.1*

No doubling, no ongoing score or stats. Inability to press piece just once, requires multiple touches which is incredibly frustrating to activate the piece. Doesn’t turn off basic beginner notices about moves.

### 1/5 — 不当な確率、やってて虚しい。

*2023-11-22*

他の方が書かれていますが、サイコロが勝手に決められているようです。おかしいと思って確率を計算したら10万分の6しか起きえない状況が発生していました。完全にチートです。バックギャモンって確率を考えて最善手を打つゲームだと思いますが、チートに気づくと虚しくなります。意味のない時間を使ってしまいました。ルールを勉強したい方だけのアプリですね。

### 1/5 — Needs work

*2023-10-09*

The game is great. The only reason I gave it 1 star is because the dice are not random. I have been able to predict the dic3 as tg3 follow a specific pattern. This has make it easy to win every time regardless of the skill level.

### 1/5 — The computer side is a bit obvious

*2023-08-12*

When the computer wants to win the rolls will always go their way again and again until it wins. Nothing random about it.

### 1/5 — Cheat

*2023-06-03*

I just want a good, honest backgammon game. Every move you make with this game, the computer “by coincidence” tags you. I can understand a few times, but it’s 95% of the time. I win the majority of the games, but it’s frustrating when you get tagged every single time you have a piece open! RIDICULOUS!

### 1/5 — VIOLATES THE RULES

*2022-10-08, version 1.2.2*

This game violates the rules of backgammon, they’ve known about this for some time, yet they refuse to FIX IT GDamn it! You stupid MOFKERS

### 5/5 — Glitchy

*2023-11-12*

This game soothed my soul, but it has gotten so slow and could use a little love from its creator.

### 5/5 — Enjoying this game……

*2023-02-15*

I have tried several backgammon games, but not all of them.  Being a beginner, I am trying to get good enough to beat hubby!  Still on level one, but ready to move ahead, so my review may change.  Think I have gotten the hang of it, and this is a good choice for me, who has three of these games downloaded.  This is my favorite.  Thanks!

### 5/5 — Gives a good game

*2016-10-14, version 1.0.2.3*

I play at hard level and won it was close.but computer played fair,
Graphics are good,controls were good

### 5/5 — Приятная игрушка

*2016-06-01*

Сыграть онлайн пока не удалось, но игра с "компьютером" оставляет приятное впечатление. Графика продумана, без излишеств. Стиль игры соперника оказался несколько агрессивнее, чем ожидалось, но это только в плюс. Камни выбрасываются "справедливые", игра довольно ровная.
Спасибо разработчикам )

### 5/5 — Срочно

*2015-04-22*

Оптимизируйте под 6 plus

### 4/5 — Probably would pay for a version - but ads 😟

*2024-01-28*

Played for months, and enjoy it. Today’s ads are a flashing message banner, which doesn’t start until halfway through a game. So far I’ve close 2x. Next time I will uninstall offer an ad-free version for a few dollars.

### 4/5 — Great for beginners

*2022-05-07*

OK so it’s not the fastest game but I’m not fast either. I’m an older person who takes my time and some of the other games are a bit too fast for me. This game is also great for beginners. I’m enjoying it.

### 4/5 — 入門にはちょうどいい感じ

*2018-10-24*

星一つの人はバックギャモンのルールがわからなかったからかな？

ルールをyoutubeで理解したばかりの私にはちょうどいい感じ

### 4/5 — 楽しいけど

*2016-11-10*

ネット上で人と対戦できるようになるともっと良くなると思います！

コンピュータの強さがレベル4までだとちょっと物足りないかも

### 4/5 — Нарды - какими и должны быть

*2015-07-25*

Но оценку снизил , не находит игроков он Лайн
