User reviews

Unreliable on IOS 18.01

The app is unreliable under IOS 18.01. Mouse sensitivity is lost on start up most of the time. If you can get past this, it works.

Needs an "undo" button

I clicked the checker that i wanted to move. However, the checker moved the number of the wrong dice. Before clicking the other checker, or the dice (I never finalized my move), i wanted to correct my selection. However, there is no "undo" button.

Good app, needs some updates

I like this app’s no nonsense interface and usage of FIBS. However, it’s been 2 years since the last update. It could usage a forgotten password feature, bot identifiers, more modern boards, etc.

Fibs 👍 Bot play 👎

Great that there’s a Fibs client still available. If the devs are still reading these reviews please add a delay when rolling out of purgatory against a bot. It’s so freaking frustrating not knowing what your failed roll was. **Update** Have now deleted app as I find it unplayable because of above.

Best online backgammon app

I have been playing on this app for over 20 years and I’ve met so many friends that play backgammon all over the world. It’s fun to go on at any time of the day or night, and see familiar faces. It’s the next best thing to being there, as It’s not like we have a choice in the matter. How I long for the old days and playing at a club where everybody plays backgammon..Fibs was especially a lifesaver during Covid. It does have a tendency to have issues at times with the server but that’s usually repaired right away. We are so grateful to Patti for hosting the server and taking care of it for all these years. Highly recommend.
