There are to many bugs within this app that prevents it from functioning correctly all of the time. ### 1/5 — Update logged me out - can’t get back to account *2026-04-24* I have been playing FriendGammon for several years. With the latest update I suddenly got logged out and I can’t get back to my old account with ongoing games and old score. Very sad. ### 5/5 — What a fun a game *2026-04-23, version 21.3.8* I love it, helps me relax! ### 3/5 — So much potential! *2026-04-12* I love the idea of the app but there’s a few things I wish would change. 1. I need to be able to see what my opponents rolled—if I can’t see what they rolled, then I can’t know their strategy. You’re only able to see their roll if they happen to be actively playing at the same time you are. If you take your turn, leave the app, then return later and your opponent has take their turn, all you can see is that it’s now your turn but no indication of what my opponents move was. 2. Please allow people to delete games with unwanted players. If I forfeit a game, then it should disappear—not restart the game. 3. The notifications have never worked for me. I have deleted and reinstalled the app and attempted to troubleshoot various times but I still have never been able to get push notifications for when it’s my turn to play or a player has made a move. ### 1/5 — Great idea poorly implemented *2026-02-17, version 21.1.0* App regularly hangs and freezes, loses internet connection. Bandwidth hog, fails to work. ### 4/5 — Good times *2025-12-22* Love this app but would love an update so that we can see our opponent’s last move. Thank you to the volunteer developers of this app! Really appreciate that there are no ads or selling my data. ### 1/5 — Glitch and Dice flow *2025-08-16* The game algorithm is very weak and made to keep everyone with certain score, very very glitchy and sometimes double dice just double on its own, not fair play to benefit the best player but to keep players equal. I get the idea but doest work for actual players. ### 2/5 — Several major flaws *2025-07-07* The app is designed for leisurely play, with large gaps between moves. That’s fine. The problem is that, unless you’re looking at the board when your opponent moves, or you memorized the positions before the move, it’s not clear what their roll was or where they moved. This makes for a strange game in which you have little knowledge of your opponent’s moves or style of play. Second, the graphics, white checkers on white points and black checkers on a black bar, make it easy to miss checkers. Third, the doubling cube stays in the middle, so it’s hard to see who owns it after a double. Lastly, the app burns through battery for no obvious reason. The phone gets hot while using it. ### 2/5 — A major flaw *2025-07-03* The app is designed for leisurely play, with large gaps between moves. That’s fine.

Lastly, the doubling cube stays in the middle, so it’s hard to see who owns it after a double. ### 2/5 — Dobles *2025-06-16* When you double someone then either party will starts to get doubles non stop and it’s a usual pattern that repeats over and over. The machine has learn’t or was trained that way so not so random. ## Frequently asked questions about FriendGammon ### What is FriendGammon?
