I need more information. Is there a timer?

Great app

My request is a doubling cube and match play.

Basic.

Expensive for how basic it is. Not worth it yet.

Good, old-fashioned backgammon

Great game, well worth the $3 to not see ads or pop-ups. Nothing fancy or complex. Just good old-fashioned backgammon the way it was intended!

The two things I would like to see would be a scoreboard for games won/lost with the CPU and online players. Also would like to see an option to change the color of the board & pips/chips/nips, just to change things up.

Other than that, I really enjoy the game (something to do while watching TV or waiting on something). Highly recommended!

Terrible gameplay

This game is dull to look at and glitches constantly. Bought it twice on separate phones so that we could play together without the board and it is much worse than almost any of the free backgammon games.

Needs Sounds

Great game, and accessible to VoiceOver users. However, it would be more exciting with game sounds.

Good game

I really appreciate the accessibility functionality built into this game. Excellent job describing the board and checker location. The black checkers do not contrast well enough with the board for me to see them when located on the dark colored sections. Can you add a different colored checker or make the darker section of the board lighter colored so the pieces stand out more? The game tells you that you won in player vs player but does not tell you when you lose. I noticed that against the CPU it does make that clear. The voiceover announcing the opponents move gets cut off every time so you have to cycle through the entire board to determine what happened. This is a good game that is well designed and with a few tweaks would be a five star app.

Not Happy

I can’t believe they even charge for this app. Awful to navigate and not user friendly at all. Tried for a while with it and then just deleted it. Makes you reluctant to purchase other apps. Wish I could get a refund.

Great app and allows you to play withfriends where ever they may be

A really simple but fun app. Easy to use once you grasp the interface. The ability to send the board back and forth via message is very easy.

Great App

Really impressed by this app. It may not matter to many, but the VoiceOver support is top notch and innovative. The game-play is smooth and intuitive. The only improvement I would love is if they would add some AI's to practice against. Other than that, well done!

Outstanding all around!

This is a great adaptation of the classic game, and a great example of what can be done in terms of Voiceover support among other accessibility features to boot! I can't tell you how thrilling it was to be able to play this game after 20 or so years of having no chance, all while chatting with my opponent in the messages window!
