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.
Bs on fair rolls
Not going to read supposed documents. Ok interface with options, rolls are not random
Game cheats; but get it anyway!
The game cheats:
Auto bear-off sometimes declines to take the greedy move even when it is safe to do so. Yet never losses the game as a result.
Developer response requested please.

Definitely knows the dice rolls in advance.
Good fun but….
Good fun app but don’t expect to win much, especially on higher levels.
This is the third time I’ve spent a few weeks on this app and, a few thousand rolls in each time, the same patterns emerge.
The computer opponent will always have higher than expectation on pip score and doubles and you will have lower. The downside of the app having a statistics section is that it tells you the AI beats expectation over the long term and you don’t.
The computer doubles seem to be bunched in to the following situations……1) when it is bearing off 2) when it is massively behind on pip score to save it from being gammoned and 3) when re entering from the bar, it will throw a double and take out many of your counters on the way round.
On the other hand, when in a race, one of your dice will always be a one and you wont get any doubles when you bear off.
Still, it’s fun and, if you think of it as a slot machine in a casino, you’ll be fine. At least this way you’ll laugh at yet another miraculous escape.

Clunky
Overall the game is pretty good. It is insanely frustrating that I have to wait a long time to leave an online match when the other player doesn’t accept. There are some other things that could be polished but the fact I sit there forever waiting to leave a match wastes too much of my time to give this 5 stars.

Longtime player
I’ve been playing this app for longer than I can remember, and it remains my “go to” app for playing a good, solid game of backgammon. Nackgammon option is also fun for a change of pace. Five stars!

Great but feels like loaded dice
Great app for improving your backgammon skills because it clearly shows the best possible moves and helps you understand strategy. The interface is smooth and easy to use. My only complaint is that the dice rolls often feel skewed in favor of the computer, especially in key moments, which can make matches frustrating. If the dice felt more balanced, this would be an excellent app.

Trash
Horrible. Cheats both ways which I’m not looking for either way. Want my money back
Best Ever Backgammon App
But does it cheat?… For example, during auto bear off, it does not always take the greedy move even when safe to do so. Why not?
The lack of a developer response to this particular question suggests the game does cheat.

Cheats outrageously
Knows upcoming dice rolls and makes decisions based on this.
Whatever—Jimmy’s making bank
I have used this app for years; deleting in frustration, reinstalling because I don’t know of a better. I am just tired now. The perfectly non-random roll generator—look at Jimmy’s evidence.
It’s just not a fun challenge to try to beat a rigged engine anymore.
Thanks for the years of it.
May 2026 Update:
And now the dude is charging $8 for the app.—Just know that you will learn but never win.

Can See the Future
The computer ABSOLUTELY knows what rolls are coming. That’s cheating. I think I have the ability to look ahead as well–but that would be cheating.
Dice Engine Issue
I don’t believe the game is rigged. However there are definitely issues with the dice roll engine.
Disappointing
Gets a 2 cos although the online game is fair you often have to wait a while for an opponent and there’s no timer on the play so they can just leave you hanging or simply abort when losing (needs a fix) BUT die roll playing against the computer is NOT random. Don’t insult everyone’s intelligence by claiming it is. Anyone who’s played backgammon more than twice can tell. Utterly idiotic when you have a perfectly good RNG. FIX IT PLEASE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
