Backgammon Guru and Guru Pro versions feature attractive backgammon boards and support natural checker movement where both dragging and tapping are supported. You can play against the computer or with a friend.
Guru & Guru Pro support standard Backgammon as well as HyperGammon. They will also allow you to set up any desired position for play and analysis.
Guru & Guru Pro will answer your "what-if" questions, like what if there was a specific roll in a specific position and what's the best possible move there.
In the default Player-Tutor mode, e.g. when you are playing against a master-strength AI, Backgammon Guru & Guru Pro will allow you to substitute a random roll with any specific roll of your choice. You will be able to take back and replay multiple moves as Backgammon Guru & Guru Pro support unlimited undo functionality.
Backgammon Guru Pro version will analyze your match and color-code your errors in a move list. With Backgammon Guru Pro you will be able to navigate your move list interactively and see where you could have played better. You can also email the match to yourself for further analysis.
While Backgammon Guru Pro by default continuosly shows the equity graph, in Backgammon Guru you would also be able to see, upon request, the statistical chances and best possible moves in any position.

Both Guru & Guru Pro indicate pip count for players, support long moves, sound effects and multiple other options.

The dice throws are not random and app buggy. Also most prior reviews look suspicious.
Computer is Unfairly Favored
the real abe froman
Great game for learning but the computer will roll many more doubles than you and many more "perfect" rolls than you.
Unfair dice

Don't bother with this and definitely don't pay for ad-free upgrade. It is not statistically possible for the computer to get so many doubles. It's unfortunate that the play is so biased, because the layout is nice.
Great
