Would be a good app if it worked!
Have been waiting for this to actually work for a week now. App crashes an restarts even with paid version.
Best backgammon available
This is my favorite of all backgammon games. The skill levels are perfect and I have greatly improved my game skills while having lots of fun. The only improvement I can think of would be increasing the customization options a bit. Highly recommend this game/app!!
Tutor?
I would expect an app that specifically says “tutor” in its name would teach how to play backgammon, but it doesn’t. No overview of the game or game play, and no explanation for why it suggests the moves that it does. It’s just an app for playing backgammon.
Cheating
Cheating is crazy when done by a computer.
The reviews are right.
I’ve tried both the balanced and the random and choices and in both, when you enter the end game, if you are winning, and see the computer roll doubles—start counting. Way too often the computer will roll three sets of doubles in a very short time. It’s way too often to be normal odds, so as much as the developer(s) trust their algorithm, something is up, so they should play it a bunch and see for themselves. I play on a website online too, far more than here, and that never happens. Also, the tutor often has you leave a piece open and then takes it, when there was a better move available without leaving one open. While the game may catch options you overlook, I feel the main tutoring being done here is learning when to know you shouldn’t listen to the computer. I gave it three stars though because it’s playable and serves its purpose when the annoying doubles thing isn’t happening
