### 1/5 — Badly set up

*2026-07-03, version 5.4.0*

Set to give the computer the advantage. E g. If you knock an opponents piece off the board, they can get back usually within one throw- but if you are knocked iff the board it can take 4-7 throws to get back on the board. Similarly if you have an unprotected piece, the computer will often hit it on the next throw, but if they have an unprotected piece , it will take you several throws to hit it.  Very frustrating, I love backgammon but  this app is very poor.

### 5/5 — Scoreboard

*2026-06-19, version 5.4.0*

Make the scores more readable n

### 1/5 — Cheated

*2026-06-18, version 5.4.0*

I’m pretty sure this game manipulates the roll of the dice

### 5/5 — Miss

*2026-06-10, version 5.4.0*

Love the game, the dice is a little unfair and spoils it ... not sure why I cannot play with other people at the moment only with computer

### 1/5 — Always lose!

*2026-04-28*

I hate this app because it always makes me lose!  I’m an excellent backgammon player but it’s a waste of time trying to play on this app.

### 2/5 — ☹️

*2026-04-01, version 5.4.0*

I teach statistics…this app is a joke! If it was a casino their license will be revoked for cheating…update: it’s become worse! utterly ridiculous!!! RIDICULOUS!,!

### 4/5 — Average plus

*2026-03-18*

It’s a cool, better than the average vanilla backgammon game…AI moves, predictable moves when playing solo but I like it enough to not delete it. Enjoy!

### 2/5 — Game is rigged

*2025-12-17*

I have played this game hundreds of times. The play is smooth and it could be a great game. Unfortunately once you are winning the game, suddenly the app starts rolling multiple doubles in a row. I’m not sure why the developer feels the need to do this. They claim that the player rolls the same number of doubles, which might be true, however the game rolls doubles it can use and at critical moments. The player gets doubles that are often unusable or at times when doubles are not ideal. It’s totally rigged, no matter what the developer states.

### 2/5 — Cant score anymore after 15000 in the skills category. What’s the use of playing competitively

*2025-09-16, version 5.4.0*

Why play competitively if that don’t let you score higher than 15000. All the ones who I have a better ranking will eventually catch me. Stupid to play

### 1/5 — The game cheats

*2025-03-26, version 5.4.0*

The game has obvious cheats with ridicules rolls for the opponent.
