Game center

Would be nice if game center actually worked!

This version is not as good as the v1 iPhone app installed on the iPad. It's very slow to move and does not have good color contrast options. Don't buy this one, but do buy the v1 for iPhone and install it on the iPad. The only inconvenience is that it doesn't do player list landscape, but it's much faster then v2.

Online FIBS Play is Great!!!

Don't let the mixed reviews for this app fool you. The Online FIBS, where you can play people all around the world, works great! I have been on the FIBS network for the last 5 hours, since I bought the app, and I have had no glitches. I can't speak for the Game Center part of this app, because I have not tried it yet. I wouldn't expect it to work as well as the FIBS network, only because the community isn't big enough yet. At least for the backgammon community. I am sure it will grow over time. FIBS is the place to be if you want to play backgammon online, though. I'm from New Jersey and I just finished playing an hour of games with a guy from Egypt. Crazy! I highly recommend this app if you were big into FIBS before the iPad. It's a great way to continue to be a part of the online backgammon community without have to be stuck in front of your computer. Great job on the app guys!!!

Fibs and game center

And a great multiplayer backgammon game.

Junk

Don't buy this junk!

Software freezes and is upside down, don't waste your money,

Saved gmes

JerenAKAharlem

The worst thing about this game is after some ppl just drop the game they usually don't come back and after like 10 saved games caused by some idiots, you won't even be allowed to play. Is it to hard to make a system that this would be prevented? After all this isn't a free app. So do not use this app!!!

Fits the bill

I wanted an interface to the FIBS server and this app provides it. This is better than the Backgammon Premium app I have. It would be 5 stars if priced right.

Great ipad FIBS client except ...

DrRobB

I have had 3 FIBS games get stuck when the client said I must make 2 moves, but there was only 1 to make. In one of those cases it happened when I had born off my last checker and won, but it kept insisting I make another move. Otherwise, it is the iPad FIBS client I've been looking for. Please diagnose and fix!

Cannot set board colors

Nice interface to FIBS, but currently only three choices for board color.

Backgammon 2

This app is very often frustratingly slow, and causes players to become annoyed with other, thinking the people are slow to respond.
