Backgammon - The Board Game Reviews

I’m done!

Zipadee Gal

Over 95% of the time I lose the first roll of the dice at all levels. My last 30 games the app gets the exact dice roll every time it needs to knock me out. If app is going to win I wish it was because of strategy and not dice rolls.

Meh

Ok ok. It’s a good game. BUT SERIOUSLY THIS ISNOT FAIR. THREE TIMES IN A ROW SOMEBODY GOT DOUBLE SIXES. I GOT N9 DOUBLES. EVERY TIME THE CHECKER WAS NEAR IT FRIGGIN GAVE THEM THE NUMBER TO PUT MY CHECKER ON THE FENCE. EVERY. SINGLE. TIME!! CHANGE ITTTTTTTTTTT

Arranged game. No fair dice

The opponent always has the right dice to kick out the pieces. Not to mention the double dices that ‘conveniently’ is the right amount to either win or block the right spots. Whoever wrote this definitely has something against fairness. BS all the way.

This game is a pretty good game but it’s unbelievably laggy

Unfair Dice

80_Rocket

When playing offline rarely win the starting roll. AI will roll exactly what is needed to knock me off the board 7 out of 10 rolls. AI rolls far too many doubles when bearing off to be random.

Over rated

Play action is awkward, not a sin but annoying. The cardinal sin is that there are no, or at least I can’t find, game stats. That is what really teaches a player. It is also how you really know if dice are fair. I wouldn’t mind different board and piece choices either. The chosen design is busy and distracting. I have tried a number of backgammon games on Mac and droid. I play a lot offline. I cannot find a satisfactory backgammon game on iOS.

Fair dice is laughable

Update....to original review...nothing has improved, now the ads for gardenscapes/ homescapes/ and now Phoner has sound EVEN IF you phone is set to silent. UNACCEPTABLE. Fix it please. Opponent almost always seems to win opening roll. Opponent also seems to always get the exact roll they need to get out on the first try after being hit. Whereas it takes me 5-6 rolls of the dice even if only has one spot occupied. Also the amount of doubles the opponent rolls is way more often than any normal set of real dice. This game used to be fun until whatever update screwed it up.

AI at its finest

All the “1” reviews are spot on! Rarely getting 1st roll and when you do, it’s not a favorable one; opponent bearing off with high & needed doubles 3 or 4 times; hangs and/or disconnects in the middle of games for no reason; staying on the bar for several rolls even though there are many open spaces in the opponent’s inner table. I deleted after 5 days of use. There are far better BG apps out there. Don’t waste your time with this one....

Malfunctions

User45728bf44

The mechanics of this game malfunction way too much. If I play let’s say 5 games, 2 will malfunction. The malfunctions vary. In some instances it freezes and neither player can complete the game. In that case both lose and the works against each player’s statistics. They have a leaderboard so you can see for yourself how that alters the standings. Other times you can knock a player so he has to get back on the board but yet the player is about to move on his next play not having to get back on the board first. Please resolve these issues. In the meantime I’m going to find another App to enjoy backgammon with. As an all time top 1% player in this App I’m hoping the creators will find my comments helpful.

Locking up

When you playing a game it will lock up some time and you have to exit and restart the game
