Low vision keyboard

On behalf of low vision users, I cannot thank you enough for taking the trouble and working hard to develop this keyboard. Now I can continue to use my favorite game.

Thank you
Doreen

Gutted!

I paid for this game and quickly learned to hate it. Despite the developer trying to say otherwise, the dice rolls are totally unfair and mostly in the computers favour. Totally ruined my experience. I will make sure to avoid this developer at all costs.

Unfair

The computers dice rolls are completely and consistently unfair.I don’t understand why this is the case

Fixed in record speed

One of the recent updates bricked the game but the developer fixed it in record time. Thanks!

Was really enjoying this BUT

Really enjoyed this game with no pop up adds . However the more you play it the more the dice seems to be stacked against you. Why does,the computer opponent always manage to dice with a number that either allows them the exact number to get back on the board or send your counter to the middle at least 90% of the time. Thought this was improving my game but now I’m just really frustrated

Weird

Updated: thank you very much for fixing the issues. I’m addicted to the app

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

App after update only shows me a huge piece of board. Can’t do anything with it.

PLEASE FIX!

Game so rigged.

Allows you to win 2 games and then not the third. So obviously and badly rigged Whose the creep that programmed this

It seems like the AI is cheating to win

Never in my life have I played a game of backgammon (I’ve played many) where my opponent got 9 sets of doubles in a row. It seems highly unlikely that would ever happen in the real world. I have to give it a 3 because everything else about the game is really nice.

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.

Fixed Big Time

You don’t need Penn & Teller to let you know how a game is rigged.

The patterns are obvious, especially the frequent “Great Escapes”, and end-game turnarounds. My favourite though is when the computer rolls two dice that correspond to both possible places for a blot to occur. Or when you roll 15+ times without getting a four on greater on one die.

I notice network play is noticeably random, no problem.

What I see happening is the computer is a poor player and too often would not win without a dramatic turnaround two rolls before reaching home, and these games are way too frequent. I don’t know and I don’t care how they fix the list of rolls retroactively — but it is probably much less trouble than designing game skills

TRULY FIXED

This game is clearly fuxed

Response from developer

You can prove for yourself, that the dice are not rigged by (1) looking at the dice list beforehand (right menu, click on the small dice icon) to prove that the dice do not change during a game, and by (2) writing down a game and playing that game again, with the same dice as before, but entered as manual dice. The game will be exactly the same. So cheating is simply not possible, otherwise one of these two tests would fail.

ChatGPT’nin birinci tercihi !

ChatGPT’ye sordum. En iyi ve en kullanışlı tavla uygulamasının bu olduğunu belirtti. Denemediğim tavla uygulaması kalmamıştı diyebilirim. Hiç biri bunun eline su dökemez. Gerçekten mükemmel.

Played for years - it’s the best so far

Ignore every review that says computer bias. Some people just can’t play advanced level backgammon. The AI in the is clever and better than almost all the others but can still be beaten. Would say it’s about 55:45 to the AI on the highest level, which is about right. Game aids, game play and general UI is very intuitive and constantly improving. It’s smart, smooth and fast. Well done for making the best and beating the competition.

Einfach spitze

Tolle App, die Spielstärken mit den Erweiterungen sind absolut top, auch die Anzeigen während des Spiels und die Tutor Funktion sind Gold (und ihr Geld) wert. Jeder der meint, dass das Programm schummelt scheint das Spiel grundsätzlich nicht Verstanden zu haben… und ja es kann frustrierend sein, wenn der Digitale Gegner auf einmal genau die richtigen Zahlen würfelt, allerdings kommt das genauso oft umgekehrt vor… nur dann ist das Skill, oder ;-)? Tolle Pflege der App über die Zeit weiter so.

Vielen Dank für die nette Rezension und die Worte bezüglich der Würfel ^^ Weiterhin viel Spaß beim Spielen!

A fair game

this is my goto game. It always gives me about a 50/50 chance of winning and the dice rolls are good.
