### 5/5 — Backgammon V+

*2026-07-21*

Excellent jeu, mais il ne marche plus sous OS 26.6 Installation correcte, mais le démarrage impossible, l’application se ferme immédiatement ☹️
Quelle déception pour mon jeu préféré !
Espérant une mise à jour pour un fonctionnement parfait, comme pas le passé. Il est à noter qu’elle fonctionne à merveille sur un Samsung S26…

### 1/5 — CPUの強さ=サイコロ操作

*2024-03-14*

CPUの強さはサイコロの出目が都合よく出るようになるだけで戦略性は皆無、イラつくだけで暇つぶしにすらならない。
もう少しましなアプリを探したほうがいい

### 5/5 — great game

*2024-03-10*

this is a greate game

### 2/5 — Dice roll not random

*2023-08-26*

App uses dice rolls to adjust difficulty level, rolls are not random. Very irritating. App does have decent interface

### 2/5 — バグ多い

*2023-02-15*

無料のバックギャモンアプリ探して辿り着きました。とりあえずは動くのですが、イリーガルムーブできたり、あがったのにピップカウントが1で止まって相手の勝ちになったりと理不尽なバグが多発してしんどい。
また、AIが弱い。レベルを上げると動かし方じゃなくて出目が強くなっている気がする。
謎の処理落ちもしばしばあり。
恐らく他にいいアプリがあるだろうけど、わざわざ試す気にもならないのでしばらく使わせていただきます。でも…どーにかならんかね

### 4/5 — Upside down

*2022-05-12*

I have played this for a while on two iPad versions. After every game it reappears upside down and have to rotate the ipad back and forth to correct. Irritating.

### 1/5 — Pretty bad

*2021-09-10*

Uninstalling after playing two games on my iphone. This app consistently freezes and requires a restart if you accidentally touch and drag the top of the screen as you select a chip.

### 1/5 — Entweder app-tracking, oder bezahlen!

*2021-07-18*

Nachdem ich Werbevervolgung ablehnte, wurde kaufen für 2,99 angeboten. Nein danke!

### 1/5 — Backgammon V+

*2021-07-11*

I love this game and purchased several years ago because I don’t want to see ads. Suddenly an ad banner is constantly running on the bottom of my screen. Why pay for it if I have to have to put up with distracting ads anyway?

### 1/5 — Latest update crashes on opening

*2020-10-04*

Won't load, immediately crashes
