### 5/5 — Lotsa Gammon here

*2024-07-29*

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.

### 1/5 — There is no clear path to playing an actual game of backgammon. Poor interface.

*2024-05-18*

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

**Developer response:** 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.

### 5/5 — Daily Gammon rocks!

*2022-11-25, version 1.4.2*

@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.

### 5/5 — Great!

*2021-09-27*

Love the app, thanks for fixing the bug!

### 5/5 — Absolutely, the Best App for my iPhone

*2020-10-12*

Now, playing DG is never dull or boring. I am loving all the options available to sort my games; for example, to be able to play all my “zippy” games, then all my timed tournaments in any order, based on however I decide to sort, such as least amount of Grace Time remaining. Love this APP, and recommend it to all.

### 1/5 — Can’t choose opponent

*2020-03-28*

Not what I need

### 5/5 — Must have if you play at DG and have iOS devices...

*2019-05-30*

I’ve played at DailyGammon site for many years and have always enjoyed the matches, players and community.  But I have lost hundreds of matches due to timeouts while away for vacations and family matters as I couldn’t keep up with my matches on my devices.  Now, at last, there is an excellent implementation of the DG experience on my iPad!

It is well thought out, the turn based game play is smooth and has nearly all the features of DG website play.  The developer has been very responsive to any issues no matter how small.  Now I no longer lose so many matches when I am away from home :)

Just one quibble, the Dev needs to acknowledge DG site author in his app credits !

### 5/5 — Great but needs notifications

*2019-05-12*

Enjoying the app so far, but it would be for the best to have the app send a notification when an a opponent has made a move so I can start my move without having to check the app constantly.

### 5/5 — Thank You, Peter!

*2019-05-11*

A HUGE benefit to someone who wants to play DG on the go on his iPhone!

### 1/5 — Don’t Bother

*2019-03-31*

Signed up for an account so I could play. Been weeks and my account was never verified. Tried twice didn’t work. Deleting this app.

**Developer response:** Dear DaJuLee

thank you very much for your feedback.

Too bad that you rate my app for something I don't have any influence on.
This app is only a client for the game server dailygammon.com. Unfortunately I have no influence on the game server . I try to help anyway. I tried to register for a test with two different email addresses. Both email addresses worked without a problem in a few minutes. Have you ever checked your spam folder? Maybe the answer from dailyxammon.com ended up there?

If I can support you further, please use the support email dg@hape42.de
