Excellent play at levels up to intermediate . Buggy! – XG Mobile Backgammon Review

... at least to the intermediate level it is. Developer, please keep the dice random... Always. We don't mind if it takes a little longer. Interface is easy to work with once you know where things are. Not intuitive. Would be good to put an obvious icon to touch for help. Free version is buggy and is a bad ad for the paid version. Paid version is also buggy. Continually crashes. Memory leak? Update after playing a bit over 1200 games. Dice are definitely not random. As other reviewers have noted, when you set the game play higher the computer simply develops miraculous luck. It might play a little better. But absurd runs of luck for the computer hide that. You will only develop so far without random rolls. Developer has done nothing about crashes. You will be lucky if you get more than four or five games in a row without crashing. At least you get practice swiping to clear the game out of memory to restart it. Not the "entertainment" you were seeking though. The fact this sorry excuse of a BG app is perhaps the best on iOS is perhaps a consequence of Apple's incomprehensible decision to not allow users to sort app searches by review score. The Google App Store is far more user friendly and does support that. Consequently Android apps actually get better over time. If I could get my $10 back I'd do so. Truly regret paying for this.
