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.

Bar none

On FIBS nothing could be better than this app. Flat out. Maybe there’s better but I could care less since I want nothing more than to play live opponents(or bots which on FIBS all bots are identified) with no interference or ads or delays and with maximal speed. Period.

Dear George, Thanks for your feedback. We have been able to reproduce and fix the bug you have reported. We will submit an update with the bugfix in a few days. Sorry for the inconvenience and best regards, the BGO team

Don't blame 64 on FIBS downtime

I've loved FIBS and this app for years. Lately (summer 2017) a hardware issue has taken the FIBS servers down. Temporarily of course. 64 is a great app for playing backgammon against humans and expert bots. No non-fibs based app can even come close... if you don't know, 64 is a nicely designed interface linking to the independently run FIBS server. I felt I should send some love their way because people were blaming them for a FIBS issue out of their control. Plus they've responded to reviews telling you how to change the server within the app and get to playing again. That's support to me.

No support

Have been playing for years and #1, the algorithm is skewed. It is impossible to roll 12-13 times and never roll a one. The bots have unbelievable luck. My support issue I all of a sudden received a message that my connection is rejected and my server and port settings are invalid.
No idea what that means and no way to trouble shoot or fix. No way to get help.

Response from developer

Hi there, Thank you for your review. Over the 25 years FIBS is running, many users accused FIBS rolls to be not entirely random. Some even did studies, which have never yielded conclusive evidence for a significant non-randomness, see http://www.bkgm.com/rgb/rgb.cgi/trackback/rgb.cgi?view+591 or http://www.pattib.org/fibs_dice/ . As for the server downtime, we are very sorry about that. Apparently there is a problem with the FIBS backgammon server. We are currently unable to contact the administrator of FIBS, but as far as we can tell at the moment it seems that it could take a few days until the server can be repaired. In the meantime, you could instead use the FIBS-like server ti-ga.com. To change the server, open Backgammon Online, bring up the settings from the tab bar, and switch on "Expert Mode" in FIBS > Configure. This will bring up a Server field in FIBS > Account. Change its value from fibs.com to ti-ga.com. Unfortunately, you will need to create a new account on that server. You could also try to find opponents via Game Center Matchmaking. Best regards, the BGO team

This App relies on a non supported server

Bought this App but it needs a server that appears to be no longer be supported. I have been trying to get authenticated for weeks. "Miss Manors" the BOT, looks to be a dead mailbox drop. What a waist of money.

Response from developer

Hi jt_took_a_byte, we are very sorry for your experience. There was indeed a problem with the server administration, which has however been resolved at the beginning of this year. Authentications of new accounts should happen timely again.

BEST BACKGAMMON ONLINE GAME HANDS DOWN!!!

I've been playing on this app since it was released and the competition of players from all around the world has been great & the games very enjoyable:)

Real-time play on the best interface there is. Join now!! We need more players

Gorgeous interface but way too many bots!!

Beautifully rendered app, but way too many bots. Waaaaaay too many bots. Ridiculous amount. And there is something weird about the game. Can't explain it. You'll see once you start playing with other 'people.'

Ok

Desperately in need of an auto roll function

Excellent update

This is the best backgammon app out there. The latest revision made the in-game options a lot smoother.

It would be great if the player reps (from repbot) could be displayed in the invite list along with the ratings and experience data.

TERRIBLE

The dice are not random. One of the players is constantly getting doubles while the other has the worst possible roll. Virtually impossible to play against a bot and win no matter what level the odds are stacked against you. Need to randomize the rolls and stop giving one player or a bot continual doubles. Horribly ran and operated.

Lots of players with the FIBS account. Great interface. Very stable

This app is fantastic. As a front end to the FIBS server, I always have people or bots to play with. The interface is intuitive, snappy, and very stable.

Lack of players

It's hard to find other players.

goood!

what a great client for FIBS. (well, it's a bit pricey, but worth it i guess). the messaging is nice, very iphone-stylish, which makes it easy to communicate, heaps better than on pc. all boads look pretty, moves are animated. my only suggestion - it would be nice to be able to switch between simultaneous and consecutive style of animation for your opponents checkers.
otherwise cudos to the developers.

This is a good board game with plenty of players the only problem is that the dice are not random and I feel I have wasted my money

UI is a little clunky but it's a good interface to FIBS

The interface to using chat while playing is not good. However for playing FIBS it's just fine.
