User reviews

My go-to game

This has considerably improved my game through constant play. It’s no substitute for playing against a more experienced player, but if you want to sharpen your skills it’s ideal. Clear and simple design.

Dice suspect

Nice features and UI though too many times the dice do not behave. It will accept a double then roll double 6,4,5,6 to easily win. If ever it hits you, you will never get back in regardless and it will leave pieces exposed that are never hit. Extremely frustrating to play

Dupsmn

App crashes every time after the iOS 27 update.

Playing online is impossible

I have a perfect internet connection, when playing online, I get many time the same message “The match connection was terminated unexpectedly”.

Joy to play

It a joy to have this on you phone. Use it whenever I’m on the train or travelling by air as it doesn’t need to be on line. The highest setting is very tough if you want a challenge otherwise use it at the lower setting to relax. The game keeps my backgammon’s skills well honed for when I do get the chance to play a human lol. Love it.
