Really frustrating to move pips on iPhone…. keep scooting back to starting point. ### 4/5 — I like it *2023-04-28* I like the simplicity but moving the pieces to the green spots isn’t always easy, it doesn’t detect it fast. I would love to play against real opponents online. Also as a beginner it would be helpful if while playing against the computer if it could give some smart recommendations or suggestions, or maybe have a smart summary at the end rating each move done and what could’ve been a better alternative.(saw this at a chess game app) Great app overall, would love to see an update in the near future.🥰 ### 4/5 — Help! *2021-12-18* I love “Barjees!” However, after a day or so from downloading it, when I open the app to play, I get a black screen and nothing else. When I delete the app then re-download it, I am able to play. Then the following day, it’s the same thing: a black screen. What is going in? ### 2/5 — Buggy *2021-01-20, version 1.3* I really like this game except for the fact that playing pieces will not always stay where you move them. I have to constantly replay a move to get the piece to stay. Also when two game pieces occupy the same space it is hard to select or move a game piece if one is headed in and one going out.Also the computer opponent get some really fantastic points almost seems unnatural! ### 1/5 — Horrible *2020-12-02, version 1.3* Ridiculous computer programming 90% computer wins. Too bad. ### 5/5 — Nice *2020-10-15, version 1.3* ملاحظة: حتى لا ينحصر عدد الدسوت والبنوج والبارات والشكات والخوال ضعهم تحت بعض وعندما يأتي اللاعب بدست مثلا" يضع رقم ١ بجانبه ثم ٢ ثم ٣ وهكذا... Dast x2 Banj x1 Khal x3 Bara Shake Last number: 2 or 3 or 4 ### 4/5 — Online multiplayer *2020-07-12* Its an awesome game ! I remember it , when i was a child ! Playind with my grandparent and my neighbor in “jabal” ! But, Could please link it to fb maybe so we could play online multiplayer with our friends ? ### 5/5 — Online *2020-06-03, version 1.3* My favourite game all time I wish you update it so we can invite people to play online that would be awesome👍🏼 ### 5/5 — The best Game ever made *2020-05-18, version 1.3* Thank you for making this beautiful game is just one of the best i Don't know how a lot of people don't play that interesting game I recommend people to download and enjoy this game Thanks ### 5/5 — Very great app *2020-03-24, version 1.3* Its very important to add it to Google Store apps for android devices. ## Frequently asked questions about Barjees ### What is Barjees?
