Would love to know why we cannot get true random dices. ### 5/5 — Great game *2026-08-01, version 1.5.5* Love this game ### 5/5 — Excellent visually *2026-07-31, version 1.5.5* This is an outstanding game; just enjoying, ### 3/5 — Good for beginners, but *2026-07-30, version 1.5.5* It’s great for teaching the game and strategy, but be ready to feel cheated in games. The number of times the app player gets the precise dice rolls it needs seems statistically impossible. In other words, the game is designed to win. ### 3/5 — Where Are The Stats? *2026-07-28, version 1.5.5* The developers insist the rolls are random despite numerous reviewers indicating otherwise. The so called AI doesn’t have a monopoly on aggressively building blocks and hitting open pieces it just appears to be aided by favorable rolls. The developers could easily prove their case by providing statistics. Certainly there have been enough games played to prove randomness. It’s curious they haven’t done that ### 5/5 — Fun, classic backgammon! *2026-07-25, version 1.5.5* A great time with attractive graphics and solid gameplay. ### 4/5 — Good game *2026-07-25* I always thought the computer opponent rolled more doubles than random rolls would generate. So I played 10 games and kept track of the doubles. Computer - 41, me - 37. Within the margin of error for a small sample. ### 5/5 — Welcome back to backgammon *2026-07-18, version 1.5.5* Been YEARS since I’ve played and this is a perfect way to refresh your memory! ### 2/5 — Cheating AI! *2026-07-18, version 1.5.5* This game’s AI cheats constantly! It mysteriously rolls dice to constantly take you out when its behind or rolls several doubles to bypass you when losing at the end to win! Totally stinks! I won’t be playing it anymore! ### 3/5 — Too many doubles *2026-07-17, version 1.5.5* This is a good way to learn the basics of the game. At the medium and hard levels the computer opponent rolls way too many doubles especially when bearing off. Very frustrating to play a good game and lose to an unrealistic number of doubles. ### 5/5 — Good game *2026-07-17, version 1.5.5* No junk in this game you can just play and it adapts to your level. ### 5/5 — Great Game *2026-07-17, version 1.5.5* I love the game! Great job! The only issue is a small glitch that the game rolls for you sometimes… I play daily. 😊 ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Worse backgammon game - rigged and buggy *2026-08-28, version 1.5.5* It’s simply unplayable and winning a multiplayer game is impossible - riddled by bad dice and AI bots So time to leave this game. ### 1/5 — Dice *2026-08-12* I think the dice rolling is not random, too many opportunities to opponent to hit you even at the farthest or most complex places, besides, when you’re winning, it gives too many favorable dices to the opponent. In online mode this ruins the game.for example if you risk an go to fill the 6th place to close your opponent down, it will definitely give 6 to the opponent to hit you. **Developer response:** Wrong impression — the RNG is absolutely the same across all game modes and doesn't favor either side. In solo mode the AI plays more aggressively, which can make it feel otherwise. ### 1/5 — Hard level should be renamed Fixed *2026-08-05, version 1.5.5* As an experienced Backgammon player. I put the level as hard. The developer obviously thinks hard is where the AI gets the exact combination of Di to take your pieces 9/10 On the 1/10 it rolls so any singles are doubled up.It’s so obviously fixed to the point of being boring. Apple should remove this from the Arcade as it’s appallingly bad. ### 1/5 — Rigged rolls *2026-08-05, version 1.5.5* It’s laughable the rolls that the computer gets compared to the player. I’ve played a dozen games and every time it goes the same way. What I don’t get is why make it this way on the arcade version that’s not pay to win. Garbage app. Deleting and getting a different backgammon game. ### 1/5 — Scam *2026-07-30, version 1.5.5* This game is a complete scam. Apple should pull it asap from its arcade. Embarrassing they allowed this game in their store. ### 1/5 — Game Cheats for payers *2026-07-21, version 1.5.5* If you purchase game the developer gives you automatic dice roll preferences on incredibly lucky rolls while if you are arcade free your rolls never hit. When you play people with hundreds or thousands of points they get unreal rolls hitting you on odds that just are not real. You basically pay to win. Its a total BS game. ### 1/5 — Worse backgammon game - rigged and buggy *2026-07-20, version 1.5.5* It’s simply unplayable. Imagine playing and losing 20-30 games in a row to zero rankers! The AI is everywhere you can see it in the dice and in the players. Bugs galore too - The game auto plays too! And now skips over your turn to help the AI (multiplayer)! And not forgetting the infamous doubles at the end. Three double sixes and exact dice :( doesn’t always register wins, but does when you lose - so it’s quite an unfair game. No one makes a mistake anymore and you can suss out an AI opponent. Players all play in the same way. You can tell by the style, they never retire and always take pieces. ### 1/5 — Difficulty Settings *2026-07-18, version 1.5.5* As far as I can tell there is no way to change the difficulty settings once you pick it in the beginning. Very frustrating. ### 1/5 — Rolls not random *2026-07-12, version 1.5.5* This is the same backgammon game created by Adikus, where the roles are not random on the hard level. I used to love their Backgammon game, but will not play it anymore. Time to find a new Backgammon app. ### 1/5 — Worst *2026-07-08, version 1.5.5* I’ve never had a worse experience playing backgammon than through this app. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Great Game *2026-08-29, version 1.5.5* Well produced App. Thank you! ### 5/5 — Amazing *2026-08-23* This is so well made, and thanks to Apple Arcade there’s no bs charged, just fun ### 5/5 — It cheats *2026-08-13, version 1.5.5* If you’re playing on hardest level and it pips you. Good luck getting back in. But it’s still fun ### 5/5 — Great version *2026-08-11, version 1.5.5* Best version of backgammon out there. ### 5/5 — Basically beautiful *2026-08-11, version 1.5.5* This backgammon app is lovely. It’s simple, helpful for beginners to learn the rules but also gets advanced, and has beautiful and mellow graphics. No ads, no overstimulating challenges or timers or pay-to-play boosters. Just timeless, beautiful backgammon. ### 5/5 — Great game *2026-08-06, version 1.5.5* Very fun game !!!!! ### 5/5 — Fun and educational *2026-08-03, version 1.5.5* I wanted to learn to play backgammon… this game taught me how to play. It’s pretty fun and intuitive ### 5/5 — Fun game *2026-08-03, version 1.5.5* Easy to play..can play online too ### 5/5 — Quick *2026-08-02, version 1.5.5* Quick and works well on iPhone ### 5/5 — Can’t fault it *2026-08-02, version 1.5.5* Honestly, best backgammon app I’ve ever come across. Graphics, user interface and computer opponent all good. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
