It’s not working ### 3/5 — Crooked game *2026-07-24, version 1.3.325* Totally bent game ,I just use it to pass the time in between airports ,but seriously don’t buy their chips ,it’s impossible to win . ### 1/5 — Rolls not random! *2026-07-17, version 1.3.325* This game has the best user interface of any I’ve played. Unfortunately, like all the others, the dice rolls aren’t random. Not even close. Too many perfect rolls for opponents to get out of a jam. I could go on and on. It’s really unfortunate. It’s such a nice looking game. ### 1/5 — Finger weg *2026-06-24, version 1.3.323* Miese abzocker App die zusätzlich voll mit Werbung ist ### 1/5 — Random rolling? *2026-06-24, version 1.3.323* Rolling is totally rigged and not in your favor. In fact, I doubt you are actually playing against other real players. It’s too controlled, and I’ve played hundreds of games, not just a few. ### 1/5 — NO *2026-06-02, version 1.3.323* No fun. Always lose. ### 1/5 — Crooked game *2026-05-22, version 1.3.322* Absolutely Farcial bent game , end games are impossible , just rolling dice geared for making foolish people buy their points , don’t do it it’s bent . ### 1/5 — No *2026-04-25, version 1.3.322* Finally it showed itself. Rigged. ### 1/5 — Crooked game *2026-04-03, version 1.3.322* Absolutely Farcial bent game , end games are impossible , just rolling dice geared for making foolish people buy their points , don’t do it it’s bent . ### 1/5 — So rigged *2026-04-01, version 1.3.322* So rigged ### 1/5 — Absolute con *2026-03-25, version 1.3.322* Good backgammon game but totally fixed. As previous reviews this a Tatar f……. Con. I’ve played this for a number of years and it always cons you to make you spend money to obtain chips by deceiving you to purchase additional chips. If you think I am spending 1 penny on this think again you money robbing b…ards think again. Keep on robbing. I will just wait until I can obtain new chips free of charge. You will NOT get any money out of me. If you want me out of your app then just let me know 🤣. See you tomorrow after I’ve got new free chips 🤣🤦‍♂️😂 ### 1/5 — No *2026-03-24, version 1.3.322* No ### 1/5 — Bad Game *2026-03-15, version 1.3.322* The worst game in the world!! It doesn t let you make the moves you want, if you end up playing against the computer instead of a real player, you have no chance to move the way you want. It freezes kicks you Off the table. Remove it from the App Store because îs the worst game in the world!!! ### 3/5 — Game not working *2026-03-07, version 1.3.322* Something’s gone wrong with the game. New games won’t start, it can’t find anyone to play with ### 1/5 — Totally crooked scam *2026-02-24, version 1.3.322* Excrement. No, I do not want to give you real money to play against a rigged computer program. ### 1/5 — Bonuses not paid *2026-02-10, version 1.3.322* When you reach a new level , you are supposed to receive a bonus with no action required from the player. These bonuses are consistently not paid and customer support appears nonexistent. ### 1/5 — Wtf *2026-02-09, version 1.3.322* How many doubles can the opponent get?!?!? You have NO chance at this game. ### 1/5 — Unbelievably Dishonest *2026-01-30, version 1.3.322* DON’T EVER BUY CHIPS! Totally dishonest. Rolls are absolutely rigged. But they HAVE to be to ever make any money. Decent players… just average, would never need to buy chips so they wouldn’t make money. Almost entertaining to see the game always roll just what it needs to hit you. Also, keep track of how many 1-2 rolls you get vs the game. Statistically impossible. Finally, all the avatar photos of opponents. So few real pics. I never pay so I don’t get ripped off. You shouldn’t either. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Poo games with the bots *2026-10-24, version 1.3.327* If you like a lot of the stinky slimy stuff emanating from the bots, then this will oblige. Horrible ad ‘breaks’. Just another cash register for those people clueless enough to pay to play. To top it all off, it is devoid of any charm or entertainment value. ### 1/5 — Another cheat *2026-10-06* Slow, boring alternative to slicker cheats out there, this still has the same goal: to get you to buy coin so that you can lose real money. ### 1/5 — Fixed *2026-09-19, version 1.3.326* Fixed ### 1/5 — Don’t play *2026-09-06, version 1.3.326* Cheating app ### 1/5 — Fix *2026-08-19, version 1.3.325* This app has always been a total scam. Funny how you end up losing so many chips. Have done several reviews about this. I will NOT pay these scam people a penny of my money to get more chips. I’m happy to just download free chips by hiding the app in the background 😂😂😂😂 ### 1/5 — Fixed games *2026-08-13, version 1.3.325* You are playing a computer. Totally rigged. ### 1/5 — Really bad game *2026-08-12, version 1.3.325* Don’t waste your time on this game. I love back gammon but this is really bad dice are pre set ### 1/5 — Crooked game *2026-08-08, version 1.3.325* It’s so bent you don’t even print the reviews anymore ### 1/5 — Game reactive *2026-08-08, version 1.3.325* This game is set up to react not to be random ### 1/5 — Rigged *2026-07-27, version 1.3.325* One of the most rigged computer generated games anywhere on the internet, an absolute disgrace. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Fun *2026-10-02, version 1.3.326* Fast fun fair game.

Graphics aren't the best, but the rolls are fair! ### 5/5 — Defalarca aynı hata *2024-07-15, version 1.3.308* Defalarca oyun esnasında ekrana yazı çıkıyor ok basmaktan başka şansın yok bastığın gibi oyundan atılıyorsun Bazende karşı tarafın sırası oynamıyor süre bitince fail yazıp oyunu karşı tarafa veriyor ### 5/5 — Play gem wish it worked better. *2024-03-04, version 1.3.303* My game won’t load. It didn’t work for about month, then started working for about a week & now it won’t load again ### 5/5 — Love it more *2023-08-12, version 1.3.297* I’d love it more if no bugs and I’d love it more if the BIG chips opponents would stay away from us little guys 🤨 need you to bring “RANDY “ back to me …… I’m back to playing my favorite game. I love this game but that shaker and your clock really needs a working on ! Please 😳 ### 5/5 — My old backgammon *2023-08-02, version 1.3.296* My original backgammon game does not renew. I have 8 plus million coins over many many years play but my game has been reverted to zero and I now have to play with that. I am disappointed that this upgrade didn’t keep my points as it said it would mt old game is still there but I can’t play it. My new game has different name but still on my iPad ### 5/5 — Fun challeng *2023-07-25, version 1.3.296* I enjoy playing other people in the challenge. I wish they would show the accumulation of points again maybe it’s there, but I don’t know where to look for it. ### 5/5 — App won’t load *2023-07-16, version 1.3.296* I can not get this app to load for a week now. There is no update on the app and I’m not having trouble or with any other app just this one. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
