Backgammon - Classic Dice Game App Reviews

Worst backgammon game ever

The app cheats at an amazing level. Dont waste your time. Even thou it is free it is a waste of time. Total crap.

Single player game - not random dice

Updated review, downgraded from 3 stars to two because game dice rolls are even less random than before. Now not only does doubles come up more often, sometimes as much as 5 times a game for the opponent & often two or more in a row but even non double rolls hit statistically impossible favorable numbers that repeat themselves when you hit the undue button. The game is no fun & poorly designed substituting targeted dice rolls instead of competitive moves. This makes it like playing an opponent with loaded dice

Getting worse

The ads are somehow getting more annoying. Now there are videos that wont close. You have to go out of the game and back in. And please, make the rolls random. It is no fun when the exact roll needed comes up, either for me or the computer. Time to find a new game, I think.

Wont allow legal moves!

Ive run into an issue where the app prevents you from making legal moves all of a sudden. Sometimes you just cant move a piece, and other times it will say you have no legal moves (even when there are) and will skip your movement altogether. This appears to be a new issue and updating the app does not help.

Frustrated

Way too many adds that you cannot close.

Im done

As others have found, the game is rigged against me, not because the computer is a better player, but because it rolls itself exactly what it needs while I get garbage. Ive had games where the computer had 4 open pieces if only I got a good roll, and I got nothing to hit with, but just let me have one open, and I go to the bar. It gets set after set of big doubles, and I get nothing. I just played a game where I rolled 1 and 2 three times in a row. Computer won with double sixes, double fours, and double threes. This game gets deleted today.

Slanted dice

Computer always rolls moves it needs and always hits my lone chip. I tracked how many doubles it gets and it does roll twice as many doubles as I do. Definitely unfair and not just appearing that way. I tracked the rolls.

30 second adds?!?!?

I get it; its a lite version. But do you really think that there are no other apps available to play backgammon for free? Do you think I will wait around for a 30 second ad to play? You are wrong. Goodbye.

Incorrect dice calculations

Ive played this app for years. This most recent version is unable to correctly calculate where the player can move the dice to. Example - at start if I roll an 11 I should be able to move 1 play piece from the last position computer-side to the first position computer-side - WRONG!!!!! This is not the first time Ive experienced this error in being unable to move play pieces to places they should be able to move to. Ive been waiting for the developer to fix it but to no avail so far. Therefore they earn a 1 star.

Getting annoying

Game is ok, although the "hard" version is only more difficult because the computer gets better dice rolls, not because its a better player. My biggest complaint are the annoying video ads. Theyre long and loud; other free games dont have video ads.

Sad

This used to be a really good game and challenging. With a recent update, the computer plays stupidly and wins constantly with numerous doubles. I wrote down the last four matches of three games to win on hardest level. Out of twelve games, the computer had 107 doubles versus my 32. Seem right?

Bugs galore

After update, more bugs than I can count.

Backgammon lite

Was wonderful till last update. Now I cant bear off. No options come up to start new game etc. please fix

Hate it!

Hadnt played in quite some time. It was going good until time for me ( black) to bear off, then I couldnt get them to move. I wasted the game and time!

Best backgammon game but...

The computer is not good enough even on hard. Please try to perfect the game and add extreme mode pleasssse you will get 50 times better feedback and popularity.

It cheats

Most of the game is fine, but the computer player gets credit for games it hadnt won an gets mysteriously convenient of the dice. Im deleting it.

Not random ads are too annoying

Ads are too annoying!!!! I have been playing this game a lot over the past year and will say that dice rolls are not random... I only seem to get doubles when I cant make any moves. Very annoying!

Ridiculous Advertising! Not random dice!

Stay well away from this ad factory disguised as backgammon.

Game cheated

The game rolled a two and a six. There was only one move for the six and the game moved that piece two then popped up the message "no more moves possible". Clearly cheated!

WOW Never saw so many doubles rolled- GAME FIXED

While I repeatedly rolled: "1&2s Game after game the AI rolled: doubles over & over. Too bad I was looking for a challenge...waste of time. Needs improvement.
