Cheats

I was hoping with recent updates that this game would stop cheating, but alas, NO! Please fix this. I love Backgammon, but this is ridiculous!!
Don't waste your money on this game.

This used to be a great game. However, a couple of updates ago that all changed. Now the game cheats. If it needs one specific roll of the dice, it will roll what it needs. If you get too far ahead, it will roll itself doubles (as many as 5 or 6 in a row) while giving you an ace/two or the only available roll that will leave you exposed (and then, next roll the game will roll what it needs to put you on the bar). I've had this game for years but no longer play it as it is simply no longer fun. 3/28/17- Update. This latest version doesn't seem to cheat like the last versions. I'll need to play more to be sure. April 11, 2017 - Still cheats. Save your money. Don't buy this game. 5/13/17 - I see the developer claims the game doesn't cheat. Uh huh. Well, the game sure is "lucky" then. Example, rolling 4 doubles in a row after all the pieces have passed each other, on a fairly consistent basis. Yup, this game sure is "lucky." As I originally said, don't waste your money. 6/8/2017 - Sadly nothing has changed. The game still cheats (or manipulates the way the dice rolls are used). I cannot recommend this game. 11/25/2019 - GAME STILL CHEATS ON ROLLS OF THE DICE. DO NOT WASTE YOUR MONEY ON THIS GAME. IF YOU DO, YOU’LL LOSE TWICE.
You ruined it

This was a fantastic app and I played it a dozen times a day. Today I woke up to find that the developer updated it. Now all my previous players and statistics are wiped away. Months of work for my Elo rating gone. The UI changes are atrocious. You are unable to see anything in bright sun and the gameplay movement is a downgrade at best. Oh, and the bugs. So many gameplay bugs that weren’t there in the previous version. You took something that was an 8/10 and made it a 3/10. The developer obviously didn’t use the app very often, otherwise they would have realized that they were killing the very best aspects of it with this update. Very sad day.
Crashes like free version

I loved the free version and played it for MANY hours. On Dec 22 (or so) an update came out that caused the game to crash every time the human player wins (when playing human vs computer). No update was forthcoming despite considerable negative comments about the crashing. On Dec 27 a paid version appears ($2.99). I figured the outfit making the game is probably concentrating on the $$$ version. Reluctantly, I bought the game. Same problem. Very disappointing. Needless to say I won't be buying anything else from this company. BUY AT YOUR OWN RISK!
Premium same rigged game as Gold

Could be fun. It is so obvious when the dice are controlled. Named computer 'Cheeta'..
Possessed

Loved the free version and upgraded to paid one. I played 1 game at expert level and now it seems possessed. Computer is challenging me to "double" before it has moved even once. Also computer has mind boggling "luck" when rolling. If you buy it DO NOT play expert.
Almost

Unable to deactivate live roll. Button to turn it is greyed out. New version unusable. Too bad any way to change this???
Run away!!!!

This app has the worst interface I have ever encountered on any app. My daughter and I loaded it onto our phones and tried for an hour to set it up. A very frustrating experience! I want my money back!
update fail

I have loved this game for its simplicity and ease of use. It's one of the few that allows you to actually move the pieces. But with this new release, they got cutesy and have the pieces kind of bounce to where you move it. Which makes each move take longer. I also found times when moves I didn't make get played and I can't undo it. I'm not one who thinks it cheats because I win too often - in fact most of the time. But please take it back to the simple move and get rid of the bouncy bouncy.
