Horrible

Second day of use and now it wont open. Crap.

A good way to pass time

A clean and easy to use game that takes the chore out of backgammon. I like it a lot.

Ms

Pretty easy and to the point.

Ad videos

I can deal with ads, but 30 second ad videos? No way, delete

Great game!

Have only had the game a few days for my new ipad mini.

Good game but...

This is good but the computer tries to create blocks even though there are no pieces left to block. There should be a resign feature.

Higher Level

The more difficult levels are poorly designed. For Level 4, instead of writing better logic, the designers opted to "fix the dice" to gain an advantage for the computer which, at a ridiculous frequency, now rolls doubles, numbers that land on open points magically avoiding blocked ones, and numbers that land on points on which it establishes new blocked points against the player. At the same time, the dice are skewed against the player who will now, also with too great frequency, miss a point that has only a single opponents chip on it, miss a point that only has a single players chip on it, and roll very low numbers that slows the players progression across the board. YOU NEED TO DO BETTER

Awful

Dont bother

Can be fun and frustraing

The stats are not accurate. The computer opponent will get prefect rolls, doubles ect., whenever it is most advantageous. The player is penalized. Really made me angry at times. Oh well, just a game.

Its just an ok game...

Needs lots of fixing...no resign option, it favors the AI. It has a nice interface but...oh well.

Cheater

The AI cheats!

Its fun but watch out.

Just like everyone else says its a fun game but its amazing how when you play on hard mode it means the computer at times wont lose and magically will roll perfect when it needs too. Good thing there isnt money on this as I would go broke playing the computer. Yes the dice are fixed. I have also noticed that when you are finally to the point of beating the computer not only will it start rolling doubles but I will amazingly also throw consistently 1s and 2s for both my rolls. And the occasional double will just be 1s. It can be very frustrating at times. Overall its a fun game but I think I will be looking elsewhere to play another version.

Fun!

Easy to play. No glitches!

Backgammon Lite

Entertaining but the programming tends to try to block when not necessary instead of removing pieces.

Ads

There are in game banner ads as well as video ads during the game (including one for cell phones). There are plenty of backgammon aps that are better than this. The game itself is not that good eother. Movement is slow. The AI is not a very ggod player even at the hardest level. A certain delete!

Poor Programming

The hardest level does not have enough challenge, and is programmed poorly! When I opt to use my total dice roll on one piece and there is an option to knock the opponents piece off, it takes the other option every time. In addition, the computer makes ridiculously stupid moves. When it is time to bear off, the computer opts to move their pieces closer to home, instead of into the home, even when it is an option to do so. It also will not knock off my pieces when it is advantageous for it to do so, and even in circumstances where it can protect itself after with the other die roll. I consistently get 2 point wins because it decides to move pieces closer to home instead of into the home row. I chose this backgammon app over others because of he smooth gameplay and good graphics. I simply cannot overlook these programming problems anymore. Immediate uninstall.

Great until the last update!!!

This was such a good app until the last update. It worked so well. After the update, it became real buggy. It keeps giving my points and games won to my opponent. Now Im searching for a new backgammon app

Awesome

Its very very good. Its awesome

No pints

After the last update, Player cant accumulate points, they all go the opponent. Play is slower than before. App support non-existent through the App Store. Not happy.

Horrible update

Update just made the dice more loaded. This game used to be better than others. Now it is just as rigged as those other bad ones. Now it does not even calculate statistics
