Compare with “Backgommon Galaxy” and you will find out the difference ### 3/5 — new update is horrendous *2026-08-24, version 10.7.336* petition to please go back to the standard game graphics - new update is HORRIBLE - the top of the game is distracting and graphics slightly cover the board, and new buttons and locations are easy to click wrong plus the flash up graphics are awful the whole thing gives me nausea - it’s been great for years why all of a sudden this ugly extreme change for nothing ### 3/5 — New look=nice, but… *2026-08-23, version 10.7.336* The DOUBLE button is too close to the ROLL BUTTON :( I have accidentally touched the double button several times when all I really wanted to do was roll :( ### 4/5 — New interface *2026-08-23* The new interface is good, but in my opinion the effects are too fast, not good for a classic game. Also, when someone double the match, i can’t see whats going on in the game, actually, it was not good before, now it’s even worst, how can I check the game to decide to take the double dice or not? **Developer response:** Thank you for taking the time to post your review. Our players from around the world enjoy a game that’s innovative, fun, and above all, fair, as our dice are based on a random number generator (RNG), which means that the numbers on the dice on each player’s turn cannot be predetermined. And since the games’ outcomes depend on the dice and your experience, they cannot be predicted. Wishing you a lucky day🎲🎲 ### 1/5 — Updates are annoying *2026-08-23, version 10.7.336* I have been playing this game for years and I believe the latest updates are poor at best. New flashing lights and graphics really detract from the game. Sorry your efforts are wasted. ### 1/5 — Not real players. Only bots *2026-08-23, version 10.7.336* This game is fixed, and it’s rigged you’re only playing against bots. Dice are rigged against you. ### 1/5 — Owned by Hitler’s nephews so it’s a scam *2026-08-22, version 10.7.336* Be very careful these people who own this site are descendants of Hitler, and they will destroy every Jew on the planet. Every game is fixed. Every role is fixed. It’s a scam. Don’t believe anything. I will tell you do not spend any money if you would like to play just do the free stuff. If you spend one dime, you will lose it. I’ve played 4000 games and I’m telling you these games are fixed. The dice are fixed. It’s a scam you could never win plus they take 30% of your winnings when you do win so you have to win three games to everyone to come out ahead, which is almost impossible ### 1/5 — Terrible site! *2026-08-22, version 10.7.336* Every time your score goes up , the system makes you lose all your points. This is happening all the time, every freaking time I exception. You guys are bunch of crooks. Everything is arranged ### 1/5 — No to new graphics! *2026-08-22, version 10.7.336* What the heck are these new graphics? How horrible! I want to play backgammon not arcade games! I have deleted the app from my phone after many years but these new graphics are just way too horrible. ### 1/5 — THIS GAME IS A CHEATING POS *2026-08-22, version 10.7.336* What a joke dice are ridiculously rigged. STAY AWAY!!!!! ### 2/5 — UK SCAMMERS RIGGED SITE *2026-08-22, version 10.7.336* Suck my cock. F. U ### 1/5 — Ripoff *2026-08-21, version 10.7.336* Aside from being a complete scam app the new graphics can give you a seizure ### 1/5 — SCAMMM *2026-08-21, version 10.7.336* This game is a total scam. Almost every match is against bots, not real people. The dice rolls are fake and clearly manipulated. You don’t stand a chance unless you keep paying. Once you deposit money, the system makes sure you lose it fast. It’s rigged from top to bottom. Stay away and don’t waste your time or money. ### 2/5 — New update hurts my eyes *2026-08-21, version 10.7.336* I dont want lights flashing into my eyes every time I can’t move or get hit. New update is horrible, and the number of ads you have to click to start keeps getting worse. ### 1/5 — Koseh nanat *2026-08-21, version 10.7.336* Kiram too ein app ### 1/5 — Terrible *2026-08-20, version 10.7.336* This game is made so that you loose all your coins, the dice always seem to be for the other player. You are set up to loose almost every time. I do not recommend this game. ### 1/5 — Crooked to the core *2026-08-19, version 10.7.336* Don’t expect an honest game here. I have around 125K thousand games played and have NEVER got ahead. I find it rare to win 3 games in a row while consistently losing 9/10. Expect the worst possible roll while your opponent will get the perfect roll every time. Your opponent will get about 10x doubles especially 6’s. I can have my opponent on the wall with 5/6 numbers covered and they WILL roll doubles of the open number. This is how a typical game goes here. ### 1/5 — Awful *2026-08-19, version 10.7.336* This game is rigged ..also I have spent some money and now the prices are in the 100s. Don’t be caught up inthis scheme..I did and as soon as I lose all I have I am deleting it😫 ### 3/5 — Seems odds are stacked *2026-08-19, version 10.7.336* I quite enjoy the game, but odds definitely appear stacked against you. From starting first (2 in 10) to opposition scoring multiple doubles coming off the board. My luck on the dice has never been so bad. Playing bots? 🤷‍♂️ ### 1/5 — Terrible site! *2026-08-18, version 10.7.336* Every time your score goes up , the system makes you lose all your points. This is happening all the time, every freaking time I exception. You guys are bunch of crooks. Everything is arranged ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Scammers *2026-08-27, version 10.7.368* What a stupid game. They lie about everything. Even their rating. Class Action lawsuit ### 1/5 — Not worth it! *2026-08-27, version 10.7.368* This “game” is a total joke! It’s not even good to waste time! I think half of the players are boots, it is mathematically impossible for your opponent to throw 5 doubles in a row , this is a joke not even worth your time! I would give it zero stars but I don’t have the option ### 1/5 — Fruad *2026-08-26, version 10.7.368* It is shameful that Apple turned a blind eye and a deaf ear to this fraudulent app, after a decade of complaints and persistent customer tracking. ### 1/5 — Ruined the game *2026-08-26, version 10.7.368* More adverts and worse game play. Had to delete ### 1/5 — This Game is Fixed don’t waste your money *2026-08-25, version 10.7.368* No matter where I move on the board my opponent gets the number necessary to send my blot to the restart. It is so fixed. ### 1/5 — Gameplay *2026-08-25, version 10.7.336* The new update in gameplay is terrible it was so much better before ### 1/5 — Review *2026-08-24, version 10.7.336* It’s worst backgammon ever I play, it’s not like real backgammon, and if you make bed review on App Store, you will lose mostly games. ### 1/5 — Full of AI bots *2026-08-24, version 10.7.336* A human player doesn’t get a chance against millions of bots and unfair algorithms that twist the dice in the bot’s favour, even if the dice themselves pass the standard randomness audits. Tests on XG confirmed that bits disguised as humans get statistically improbable joker rolls or bar escapes. A waste of money. ### 1/5 — Money Scam *2026-08-23, version 10.7.336* This game is the biggest POS ever created. If you spend money on this game you are a complete moron. The rating is bogus. It’s a rage bait. ### 1/5 — Lord of the board *2026-08-23, version 10.7.336* Terrible upgrade, it was not broke should have left it alone.. Done with this game, disappointed ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Unbelievable amount of ads *2026-08-18, version 10.7.298* Good game! But Please make paid version of this game. Too many annoying ads. And it’s ok to watch ads at the beginning of the game but not good to see them after the game as you can even play the same person again. Thank you ### 5/5 — It’s me Dice, Not U *2026-08-07, version 10.7.298* Still gaming this very corrupt site. Look at my lead in the Silver League. 300+ ahead of the second place member, Michael. He will never catch me. Please realize playing me merely results in my giving up 200 meager coins out of the 426K that I have. I only double to get YOU to go away. I don’t even continue play when 2-1,4-1, or 5-1 is offered as my opening roll. I don’t consider Resigning as defeat, simply a chance to give some pathetic member 200 coins No response Developers? You are as pathetic as the losers I Game daily. ### 5/5 — Iran *2026-08-06, version 10.7.298* Why iranian players are banned? ### 5/5 — Game *2026-07-31, version 10.7.298* Love the game. Been playing for a long time. But occasionally like today it didn’t mark that I completed the task and give me the prize. I’m still trying to complete it but I’m not able to. Get one 1 gammon on a table with 1 or more stars. Ugh! But I keep at it. ### 5/5 — Great game *2026-07-29, version 10.7.298* Great game. Great opponents ### 5/5 — Love It! *2026-07-28, version 10.7.284* A lot going on but I have played for free! Love it. ### 5/5 — Good *2026-07-24, version 10.7.284* Good ### 5/5 — Great game *2026-07-22, version 10.7.284* Reccommend! ### 5/5 — Chey *2026-07-20, version 10.7.284* This game is addicting! I love it :) ### 5/5 — 🤣🤣🤣🤣 *2026-07-20, version 10.7.284* 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣g --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
