Good app
I enjoy using the app, but am quite sure they have stacked the deck in favor of the house. Have t yet figured out how it cheats, but i will.
The Dice Cheats
You only roll doubles when you’re on the bar or bearing off. When the computer is on the bar, it rolls exactly what it needs and a whole bunch of doubles. Even when you’re winning and you’re bearing off using the auto computer, it does not use the best move. It often will not roll off a one even though you have a one in that position.

Great game
With the updates to iOS this is no longer stable for on line play crash on the first move 75% of the time. Try and play every day.
Love the new online play very fast server. Much better than fibs. But I hate people that abort. Please let tag them as quitters.
This game is as good as jellyfish. If you are a casual player ( never played in a tourney, fibs rating under 2000, never read strstegy books). This game will eat you up. It is that good. This game is like having a world champion in your pocket. While backgammon is a game of chance because of dice. How you play is HUGELY important. I am convinced this game does not cheat. It just beats me. Now will somebody write a reliable fibs app. Good luck.

Not blind accessible
Unfortunately, this app, like many other legitimate Backgammon apps, is not accessible to blind users, the board doesn’t interact with the Apple VoiceOver, this is disappointing as I’ve heard good things about this app.
Loaded Dice
The computer constantly gets double 4, 5, or 6 multiple times in a game while I rarely get any doubles.
Not the best backgammon game
The game gives itself quads on a far to frequent basis not realistic play
Gammon.
Like this game play everyday
Serendipity Misunderstood by AI
This game is so loaded it’s laughable. Every time I start it gives me a 5 or 7 (to soften you up) then at the end it locks you out but always finds the right dice for itself. Someone needs to teach it the difference between serendipity and cheating!
Fantastic backgammon game
I thought I was a very strong player until I played against the experts of this game with my butt laugh out loud
Poor at best
Okay, it can be hard to beat. But only when it takes control of the dice. Or at the very least looks ahead at future throws. The author denies this of course, but anybody who’s played this for as long as I have can see the patterns. From the very first throw you know how the game is going to pan out. If it’s pure gameplay, I usually win. If it takes control of the dice or looks ahead then you stand little chance. Of course you can easily beat this by throwing your own dice and entering the throws manually. But what’s the point?

Best Backgammon app
Best $5 I’ve spent on an app.
Cheats
Had to remove. Definitely knows the dice rolls in advance. What’s the point of playing against an opponent that has an advantage?
Dice so biased it’s amusing…
Don’t play the computer, it cheats very badly, often so biased it can be hilarious! It’s a pity the program doesn’t have enough skill to play a challenging and fair match, just relying on better dice than you for each situation, meaning you can’t learn from it, but the app is ok if you can find a real person to play, but there aren’t many of them. But overall a fair enough app to pass a few hours considering it’s free.

RIGGED BEYOND BELIEF
Holy cow - what a waste of $5. This game doesn’t even TRY to be fair. The computer rolls doubles more than 50% of the time during every single game. If I get a double, it’s only for ones. Hilarious. Greed is a terrible thing. Do not support this developer with your money like I did. The developer is a con. DO NOT PURCHASE THIS APP!!!

Great game!
Great
Questionable
Even though this game came highly touted for fairness, the more I play the more I’m annoyed. Over and over again the rolls require you to compromise your position, especially in critical times like near the end of the round, then you split your pips and they will roll and knock you out every time. This was why I deleted the last backgammon app I had. It’s so frustrating. Maybe not so noticeable to play here and there but I’m playing multiple games during flights and it just becomes too predictive. Oh no, I can only split and … yup, I’m knocked back and then am stuck with no option to move until… wait for it, they get all their chits home and start casting off. Can’t believe I paid money for this thinking it’d be better.

It’s fun at first but, well, you’ll see…..
Totally playable on hard and above. Give it 5,000 rolls and then check the stats. Same pattern over and over again. App deleted.
My favorite board
This just seems like old-fashioned backgammon weather without all the flashing stuff, it’s easy and fun and it’s my go to when I feel like I need a game
Don’t believe the feedback of roll authenticity
You guys are liars! Your rolls are not authentic! Too many doubles are thrown especially in real time. And I’m not saying this because I’m losing. I’m saying this because I get the benefit as well. I noticed often the higher ranked players get extremely “lucky” when they down and out but somehow manage throw multiple doubles ( 2 to 4 doubles) at the very end in a race scenario to win their way out.

Horrible random rolling
Game seems rigged for the computer, always rolling exactly what would be beneficial. Awful stuff don’t waste your money. UI isn’t bad.
