Fluid Backgammon
I’m a Big fan of this app. Love the simplicity of the bold graphics and realistic sound effects of the dice being thrown on a wood board. I have never played an backgammon app before that is this neutral or random a dice roll. Others apps, when played repeatedly - you can sense the programming and often guess the computer’s next roll. Which won’t help you learn the true game of backgammon, just how to beat that particular app.

Had potential but no updates for years.
The play is smooth & smart - and with the AI taking time to "think", it feels more realistic and fun.
However, I must add the game at medium level (still no high level yet), is rather easy to beat. You won't always win if you are a good player, but you'll win say, 75% of the time.
A refreshing thing is, I don't think this app "cheats" on dice rolls like many others.
*** NOTE: It’s been years without an upgrade now. So it’s the app’s been dropped from 3 to 2 stars in my ratings.
Check out “Backgammon NJ” - by far the best backgammon app out right now. ***
From old review: “To the developer (years ago): bring on the "hard/expert" level! Also, make the doubling cube optional.”

One thing missing to be perfect
I love this backgammon game, and I’ve tried a bunch of them. It seems the fairest by far, with seemingly no built in advantages against a single player. I ha e only one question for the developer. HOW CAN I TURN THE SOUND OFF?
TINY
It’s too small to see/play and not resizable! Uses incorrect terminology, e.g., correct terminology is stones, not “checks”.
Interface is good, but so buggy
The app crashes constantly, and every time the app closes (whether on purpose or through crash) you lose all game progress. Some serious code rewriting needed.
Halfway there
The interface of this game is great. Fast and efficient. But the computer’s choice of moves is terrible. With just a bit more eork it could be great.
Great game!
I am enjoying this backgammon game. Would like to see a difficult level included and also stats on win/losses. Otherwise it’s the best out there. At first I thought the computer was biased but after playing many games I realized it’s not. If you enjoy playing backgammon you’ll enjoy this!
It cheats
AI Always gets the score needed to knock off a piece... also AI magically manages to score dice to get back into game.... where as opponent magically has to wait a long time despite probability being high
The Best
I tried just about everything with 4 star ratings and this is by far my favorite. You can see the moves (other's opponent moves are so quick you don't know what happened). Rolls are fair and consistent. It is not complicated with ads and options. Great game for the novice.
October 13, 2016. Bug fixes please!! Often Al moves his tile a different number to what he rolls... to his advantage. Also I rarely start first. What's up with that?

Can't move smaller die first
Pretty bad if you can't move a small number before a large one, especially when coming off the bar. Otherwise decent. Would play if they fix that.
5 Star Backgammon App
This new app is my favorite of all the backgammon apps I have used. It has a great design, accommodates one or two players, and has multiple skill levels. The response time is fast, and navigation is intuitive.
If you are looking to learn the game or improve your skills, this is definitely the app to go with.

This is the first backgammon app I have actually enjoyed! It is very well done, and I highly recommend it.

My game has improved since using this cool and intuitive backgammon App.
Look No Further!
This is the best backgammon app on the app store hands down. The look and feel of the game is classic, yet modern, and the gameplay is super smooth. I can honestly say that I have never had more fun playing backgammon than I have playing it with this app. The developer, Henry Wilson, is a truly god among men.

I am a backgammon enthusiast and I can assure you this app is the real deal. The look of the board is quite realistic.
