### 1/5 — Worst backgammon ever

*2024-02-24*

This is slow and boring and makes moves that you don't want to make which you can't unmove before the dice is thrown for the opponent. I'd have my money back if I could. It's a joke

### 1/5 — Overly sensitive controls (Apple TV)

*2020-06-25*

The Apple TV version is overly sensitive. When you try to select a piece it’s very easy to accidentally select one of the menu options. 
It’s very frustrating and difficult to select the piece that you want.

### 1/5 — Don't buy...

*2015-05-16*

The game is so rigged. Get the free version and play with ads. 99% of the time the roll is not in your favor. Trust me!

### 1/5 — not very good

*2013-01-08*

I've played just one other backgammon app and thought that one was mediocre, but this one is terrible.  You have to hit the device so many times to make your moves it's ridiculous.  It has a very slow touch response as well, making this app unplayable to me.  I deleted immediately.

### 1/5 — Bad app

*2012-04-28*

Nothing random about the dice rolling. Not a fun game.

### 1/5 — Disappointing!

*2012-04-23*

The game is one of my favorite games on Xbox, and I specifically looked for this version on the iPhone.  Sadly, on the iPhone, the touch screen reactions are terrible, the game lags, and you have to pay for avatars, boards, and pieces.  So disappointed; I play this on Xbox all of the time and it is great, their iPhone version leaves much to be desired.  Another annoying thing is that you cannot play iTunes and game at the same time!!!  :-(

### 2/5 — No local Play on TV

*2016-12-28*

Seems ok on the pad but local multiplayer is missing on the tv version. Was hoping for some family play on the tv, disapointed.

### 3/5 — Schlechter Zufallsgenerator, zu viele Pasche

*2026-04-17*

Das Spiel ist sehr schön gemacht und spielt sich sehr gut. Leider wirft der Zufallsgenerator extrem viele Pasche für beide Seiten. Dadurch leider sehr unrealistisch und das verdirbt den Spaß.

### 3/5 — Keeps crashing!

*2012-05-11*

This is the best looking and user friendly of the backgammon apps I have tried. However, the MAC version I have on my MBPro overheats the machine, and in much the same way, this one crashes constantly. 

This needs to be updated! First suggestion, pls make sure that app retains data after crash. At least that way you can continue a game or three game series, etc. without starting over completely. Second, just plain FIX IT. 

Frankly, I play anyway. I'd much prefer, however, to stop when I feel like it instead of after the 3rd or 4th frustrating crash. 

Thanks.

### 4/5 — Hardwood Backgammon

### 5/5 — All the features I want

*2020-09-12*

I love Hardwood products. Just downloaded this one because of my experience with other Hardwood games and it exceeds my expectations.   Fast play is my go-to. Love the graphics and the 
Game outcomes are much more realistic than other games. My favourite thing?   NO ads!  Thanks Hardwood. You’re a leader in every way.

### 5/5 — Great A.I.

*2019-07-22*

I.ve played a few and this is one of two Backgammon apps with a fair and balanced A.I. Engine. Wish there was an option to not use avatars.

This game is real fun because you get to play with other online players.  I also like the beach theme as well.  Enjoy playing!

I've been playing backgammon my entire adult life and have tried many online versions. This one is my favorite.
