Weird

For about a month now, the board changes direction in the middle of a game. Speed slows down automatically even when it’s set for fast bi was so frustrated today that I deleted the game even though I paid for a no- ad cost

Game so rigged.

Allows you to win 2 games and then not the third. So obviously and badly rigged

DICE BROKEN

Got 5 and a 1 ten times in a row, but I am sure you will say game is ok.

The best backgammon app on iOS

Many good features in this app, it’s excellent. I never tire of playing, the computer is a fun and fair opponent. Best part is the developers don’t collect any data to resell. Thank you for being decent people. Also, no ads, ever. Truly for the love of backgammon.

Too many doubles in favour of the computer

I have played this game for years now and generally love it. However, the computer throws so many doubles, sometimes 3 on a row, enabling its counters to move freely around the board. The odds of so many doubles for one player are unrealistic. When this happens I just abandon the match in frustration and that happens A LOT. Reduce the number of doubles to a realistic number and you will give the player a much better experience.
