### 2/5 — Poor for Zynga

*2022-07-13, version 4.9.1*

If you like people screaming at you to hurry up in Turkish if you take more than 5 seconds to move, this game is for you!  Gameplay is ok. The system dialog is full of misspellings — obviously was imported from another country.  I expected much higher quality from a Zynga game.

### 2/5 — Backgammon plus

*2021-12-10, version 4.9.1*

The app is horrible. To many errors a and reinstalls. Dice are extremely manuplated. Not worth the stress

### 3/5 — Needs multiple games feature

*2018-02-14, version 4.0.1*

Anyone can get lucky enough to win a single game but the best players win matches comprised of 3 games on up. I have played this for months now and I guarantee you the dice are not random.  You leave a single open and you will be hit about 80% of the time, just keep the stats. Zynga takes to many chips just to play.

### 3/5 — Well . . .

*2017-07-28, version 3.2.1*

Not bad.  Graphics are nice. Some of the players are a bit suggestive on the chat. I just turn it off.  I'm unsure of how much it costs me to play a game. Sometimes I only lose a small amount. Sometimes I lose my shirt.  Perhaps it's written somewhere I haven't found yet. You can undo a move if you still have moves left on a roll but once you make the full move, you can't undo. I've made some errors with my fat fingers that cost me dearly. Often I'm offered the chance to watch a video for free coins. Sometimes there is no video even if they say there is.  Personally, I only seem to roll doubles if I'm blocked.  I have a 47% win rate.  I've been playing backgammon for over 50 years and there's no way I'm as bad at it as this game leads me to believe.

### 2/5 — Don't waste your money buying chips

*2017-05-17, version 3.2*

I've been playing this game for some time now and can tell you that the dice rolls are definitely not random. If you can deal with that and some occasional bugs....have fun!

### 3/5 — New to this game

*2017-02-24, version 3.2*

I have only had this game two weeks but played about 20 games. It seems to me to favor the higher ranked players or maybe the ones who pay to play. I have only played it for free coins or coins from wins and sometimes it seems that I have bad luck but maybe I am wrong. My winning percentage is 30%. Sometimes the automatic plays or plays by the other players are very fast so you have to really keep your concentration so you do not miss something important. Anyway, it is fun and you can be friends with players if you enjoy playing with them.

### 3/5 — Mixed Bag

*2017-01-02, version 3.0.3*

There is some good and bad with this app. Overall it looks great and performs well. Every now and then something strange happens, but it's rare.

If you buy chips here, know that they take a 10% rake with no maximum. It is going to be nearly impossible to win in the long run with that rake. So, play with the free chips or don't play at all.

A few of the problems I have with the game are: 1) the colors of the points on the board to not alternate properly. Look at any backgammon board and you will see what I mean. This makes moving much less intuitive for me. 2) You can take the first turn in a game with doubles. You can't do that using standard rules. 3) You can roll then choose to double. Also not standard, and combined with flaw 2 is a real problem. You can roll 3-1 on the first roll then double. That's not good.

Aside from that, it's a fun game and there are players from around the world available to play against.

### 2/5 — So So - Slow and freeze up

*2016-11-25, version 3.0*

A little advertising

Dice roll is slow

Froze up a lot when you click on other than dice roll during the game

### 1/5 — Avoid

*2016-08-15, version 2.13.2*

How hard is it to randomly roll dice?  This is the 21st century!

### 1/5 — Questionable

*2016-06-08, version 2.13.1*

Is there a way to know the IP address of the players?  If so, I'm guessing these code writers found it.  Rolls are more often than chance in favor of the Eastern European player.  More often than chance.  Waaaay more often, to a ridiculous degree. It's too bad, because otherwise it's a great game, good colors, operationally...

### 1/5 — What a waste 👎👎👎👎👎

*2016-04-16, version 2.12.2*

I just want play backgammon and I'm really good at it, but here they system freezes all time and you loos your time, and end you loose all your chips for system crash

### 1/5 — Horrible application

*2016-02-10, version 1.9.3*

Dice algorithm is pathetic and is completely unrealistic. Nothing like the randomness of real dice. Irritating features such as no ability to turn off chat so every roll you are often bombarded with messages in a foreign language (I am guessing Turkish).

### 1/5 — Rigged

*2015-06-07, version 1.8.3*

App is rigged, complete waste of time and a joke

### 4/5 — Best looking, best player group, a little buggy

*2015-04-15, version 1.7.3*

I love this app. I train every morning using the AI on XGMobile. I am also a member of USBGF. So, what I mean to say is: I'm into backgammon. Backgammon Plus does have a few bugs, but you can tell the developer loves this product. Stay and play and you will see Peak fix and improve as they go along. The main thing is the app is good looking and has nice usability. PLUS it has an international following of dedicated players. You can always get a game (hard to find) and, often it will be an interesting game. 

Wishes? I wish Peak would go to ELO ratings. (Maybe some day) and I wish the Facebook tie in was more functional. But, you know? I ain't even bothered. BGPlus rocks.

*2017-01-25, version 3.0.5*

### 1/5 — Rigged

*2016-11-22, version 3.0*

This game is rigged.  It determines winners and losers. Results Not based upon skills but Apps outcome.

### 1/5 — So Rigged

*2016-11-12, version 2.13.6*

Awful app.  Soooooo rigged! Don't play. Do not waste your time or money!

### 1/5 — Do not download

*2016-10-29, version 2.13.6*

I couldn't agree more with other 1 star reviews. There are definitely more favorable players. The game's goal is to make you buy chips!

### 1/5 — Terrible

*2016-10-08, version 2.13.6*

The creators of this game have most definitely flunked.This is the most rigged game of backgammon on the internet that I have ever played.A complete waste of time.

### 5/5 — Terrific app

*2018-02-10, version 4.0.1*

Absolutely love this app.   Play it all the time.  There are not enough words to state how much I enjoy it!  I have two wishes for minor improvements, one is that I could speak Turkish, I’d like the the app to have a built in translator.  (For now, I am learning Turkish.). The second wish is to have the doubling cube message not so big so I can view the board before deciding whether or not to accept the bet.  Again great app, don’t hesitate to download it.  Thanks again.
