What's New in DailyGammon

3.0.2

October 31, 2026

The board now answers a tap. A tap on the dice sends your finished move or swaps them, a tap on the cube doubles — with the same questions and confirmations as the buttons, and every button stays where it was. Small signs on the board tell you what a tap means at that moment. If you would rather not have it, you can switch it off altogether in Settings under “Playing”. The round number of a tournament is visible again. Long tournament names are now shortened in the middle rather than at the end — the end is where the round stands. And a tap on the name opens the tournament. What you have written no longer disappears. A half-typed forum post, a message you had started: a swipe down threw it away without asking. Now you are asked. And in the messages the send button sat under the keyboard, which could not be got out of the way — above the keyboard there is now a bar with “Done” and “Send reply”. The rating curve has room when you hold the phone sideways. The figures stand to the left of the curve instead of beneath it, the second scale on the right edge is gone, and the key steps aside in landscape. The buttons under the board are tidied up. Above the dividing line they all look alike now — “Undo move” and “Swap dice” are as strong as “Submit move”. And a lone button no longer grows across the whole width on a large screen, where it read more like a banner than a button. If something is wrong, use “Report this page” or “Report something”. This version, too, is made almost entirely of reports like those.

3rd day

I am on my third day waiting for them to send me the information to my email to allow me to play the game. They said it could take up to four days. I’m sorry, but I’m not gonna keep waiting while keeping the App available. If it’s not to me by the end of today, I will delete the app. Now it’s not accepting this review it will not send.

Lotsa Gammon here

Play real people from all over the world. I like having about 15 games at once, but can do more.

Version 2 brings many useful improvements. Tracking messages by player is very nice. Also ability to play portrait or landscape.

There is no clear path to playing an actual game of backgammon. Poor interface.

I’ve had this app for a couple of days and still don’t know how I can play an actual game of backgammon. Every time I open the app it says that there’s nothing that I can join at this time.
I’m sure there’s some people enjoying this, but it would be nice if there was a clear instruction on how to play backgammon with another person using the app

Response from developer

You're correct that DailyGammon is different - you must setup a free DailyGammon account to play. But once you get started, it's fun to play individual games or tournaments with opponents all over the world. You can play dozens of turn-based matches at a time, at your own pace. For help getting started please see Login or About screen: "You don't know DailyGammon Yet?" Tap: Tell Me More

Daily Gammon rocks!

@CrankyBill57: About/Credits shows Jordan Lampe, DailyGammon webapp’s Chief Programmer.

DG V1.4.2 fixes iPhone 14 Pro display issues with new “Dynamic Island”. Thanks!

DailyGammon (DG) app is free and ad-free (!!) client for the long-running DailyGammon web-based application. No annoying sounds or animations. Developed independently of the webapp.

You can invite DG friends by name to private matches. You can play one or dozens of games / tournaments with human opponents, without time pressure (depending on tournament). Much MUCH easier to see and use than DG's built-in web interface on mobile.

DailyGammon has no bots (I think), unlike FIBS.

You don't need to be online at the same time as opponents (asynchronous) yet you can usually submit three or more plays per game at a time, thanks to built-in predictive model. Greatly speeds game progression.

Can privately chat with opponents for a bit of socializing, but this is no WhatsApp. (DG website also has public forums for non-private discussion.)

You need to use browser+email only to initially setup (free) account, but that’s it. DG web can also show game histories and statistics (including game download for offline review / analysis).

Once your DG web account is created, to enter tournaments and play games, this DG App is all you need.
