ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Backgammon Friends Online holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 3.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Backgammon Friends Online has 6.1K ratings behind it against 286, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 46% of Backgammon Deluxe Go's written reviews are positive against 25% of Backgammon Friends Online's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Backgammon Deluxe Go ships an update every 4 months, Backgammon Friends Online every 2 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 22, 2026 and October 27, 2026 respectively.
