this game is a scam and is rigged against you to take your coins! dont buy their coins , better yet don’t bother to download this app.
Fixed, Rigged and Ripoff v2
This review is an edit. Since I wrote the review below, I’ve lost 103 game out of the last 115. Read below and you’ll probably want to stay away from this app.
Let me start with, the developers will call me racist, I’m not, but Russians did try to wreak havoc on the US during a presidential election. Next they’ll tell you Im a conspiracy theorist...not even close...I have a Phd in Biostatistics and working for 26 years as a Bio-Engineer.
Fact: players have hacked this (app) game a couple times to manipulate the dice (developers admit this happened), this means the developers can also manipulate the dice (and they do it often) which proves my so called “conspiracy theory” is factual! And the developers often do rig the dice against players they don’t like. (Read other reviews).
This is by far and away the most corrupt of the backgammon apps. most poeple don’t write a review unless happy or feel down right ripped off. This app is an absolute (joke) rip off!!!
My games (last 200) have avg’d 22% doubles per game (so not random) If you don’t believe me play their free (practice) games and you’ll see. Unless you’re Russian, You’ll lose. Look at the ELO ratings and play one of the top rated players (all Russian)...They roll doubles like people eat peanuts...by the handfull. I’ve rolled a “1” an avg of 38% of all dice in my games. this is just the tip of the iceberg....The developers made it this way....Cheat, Cheat and Cheat!
I cant wait to read their reply, they’ll come up with “you can check the dice”, “they’re random”, “read our FAQ’s”...ect...Don’t buy their bologne...its rotten and smells just like this backgammon app and the dice stink badly!
It won’t take you long to see what I’m writing here, play the free “practice” games and then delete the app...you’ll be happy you did!

Cheating game
Again dice are not random, my opponents alaways have more doubles
Good app
Been using for years, only problem for me, as I only play the computer, is that both players used the doubling cube, now I’m the only one that can double.
3 roll lead
I’ve found if I have a 3 roll lead taking off pieces, I generally lose. 3.5 roll lead and I generally win. Even and you lose 95 percent of the time. You cannot beat the computer’s well timed doubles.
Playing it forever!
Kudos to the developers! I watch this game “grow” from the simplest version with practice games and a little online activity to one of the most developed and highly ranked.
Thank you!
Thank you!
New flaw
When bearing off with 6-1 roll with checkers on 5 and 1 will only allow the one checker on 5 to bear off. This happened 2x in 2 days. Giving up. Technical upgrade flaws in the last two upgrades have cost me tens of thousands of coins.
Going to find another backgammon game.

Dice
They will write that dice are random but it’s not true. When you play an online game, the starting rolls never match. That’s the first tip that shows there is dice control. Try this game if you like but don’t count on random dice. Also, The online chat is stupid - only select (dumb) phrases can be used. It used to be good but they changed it for the worse.

Version 1.715 will crash your phone!
This latest version not only forced me to re register - requiring me to create new player name, it keeps crashing at random times. I had acquired 20,000 coin that was reset to 0, lost all of my friends, and did I mention? It keeps crashing my iPhone.
I never got my coins back BTW.
The latest version disabled private chat while playing with friends. I don’t understand why they would do that.
It took 10 months to get a reply from the developer.

Enjoyable providing hours of fun
Fast, online has many players. Offline is good to for airplane rides and such. Nice board choices. Hear some complaints from others about dice favoring opponents but that’s the way player may feel when losing and it all goes around in the course of continued play. Developers work hard. They provide methods to check impartial dice roll integrity. Have been playing years now. Coin is reasonable and goes a long way. Much better than most of the other BG games online. Give it a try, I did and got hooked :)

Disappointed in latest changes....fun has been removed.
This app has changed so much over the last couple of years....for the worse in my opinion. When I first started playing this app, you could chat with any player you chose to play with out of the queue. Then, that feature was removed & you could only chat with established “friends”. This defeated the purpose of making friends. I personally didn’t add a player as a friend until after I’d played & chatted with an individual a few times. But, I continued to play & just chose my matches from the queue based on bet size, name, photo or just random CHOICE. Now.....NO choice is available to me. The game now chooses who I can play, how many times, with or without extended time & I can’t even pick a board design unless I choose the corresponding bet amount. And forget making “friends”! Main chat is the only place to have a conversation. What’s the purpose in that? I’d rather be playing the game & chatting than just posting random comments in a group of players who may or may not speak same language. As soon as I’m out of coin, I’ll be leaving this game. Too bad....at one time this was a fun game....now it’s boring....like playing the computer. I’ll be looking for a new backgammon app....I suggest you do too.

CHEATS
Let me start off with the ONLY good thing I have to say. **GOOD GRAPHICS AND THATS IT. this game cheats beyond reason. For example THREE GAMES IN A ROW the other guy had 12 double rolls and how many did I have? ONE! It lets the rich get richer and the poor keep losing. It will give the other person doubles beyond doubles when NO ONE IN REAL LIFE WOULD EVER ROLL THOSE. It says it is fair and it is COMPLETELY UNFAIR. APPLE SHOULD CHECK INTO THE SINCERITY OF THIS APP BECAUSE ITS A LIE

New version unstable on iPad
Frequently freezes or completely quits. No ability to log back in until iPad restarted
Great but...
Please fix the server. It always goes down. Why?? Get some guys to fix that
No lie: Garbage and not random dice
If you love the game get a different app.
I agree with all of the other reviews. The dice are not random- it sure feels like an outright lie that it’s random. They appear to be calculated in a way that forces you to buy more currency in online games. There’s no way that, for example, 20 rolls of two dice go by without a “1” coming up. Or 9 rolls in a row between competitors of 6 and 1. It’s mathematically almost impossible. If it was once in awhile I’d allow it. But it’s recurring.
34 rolls of 2 dice without a “5” on either.
Get a different app if you want legitimacy.

Scam
It's all about money. Dice algorithm makes you spend money to win. 😡👎🏻
All good
Looks like they might of fixed their dice algorithm
Embarrassing
There are two levels...the first is playing against a 4 year old and the second is playing against loaded dice. Computer needs a 4 and 5 to bump two of your pieces...yup it gets it. You need a 6 5 or 3 to get back in...you roll nothing but 4, 2 and 1. Doubles left and right for computer...you might roll 1 double every other game. Trash.
