Backgammon - Classic Dice Game App Reviews

Worst game

Dont bother . Rolls are so unrealistic . Either completely in your favor or completely not . So one sided . Dont waste your time.

Could Be Better

The automatic rolls when players have no move(s) are a time-saving feature. The pseudorandom rolls that should appear occur far less seldom than expected, particularly when one player is far ahead of the other. In those situations the app rolls combinations that only increase the gap. Ive noticed that exiting the app then returning at a later time levels the inequity, or at times even flips it.

Cheats!

Says it is random, but when the computer repeatedly throws doubles in numerous games on hard, it sure looks suspiciously like cheating! Enjoyed it for a while, but have deleted the app now!

Dissatisfied

Game restricts your moves so that your tile is vulnerable. Almost like cheating. Never played a version of backgammon like this one. Wish I had the money back.

Crap

Doesnt move tiles right, cheats.

BULL and CRAP

As other reviewers write, (note only TWO reviews, both 1*, yet SIX are indicated with an overall 3.5* rating. Where are these raves that bump it from 1 to 3.5 stars? Looks like maybe they cheat on reviews as well as on their game! Come on people. Use algorithms that are fair. Ive played plenty that are much more random.

waste of ipad space

This game starts off very user friendly but the longer you play it the longer the computer rolls doubles at the end and cheats the user. I give it one star because the review algorithm doesnt have a half star!

Frustrating

Vegas odds arent this good! Last game I played the computer got SEVEN acey deuce! The computer will roll doubles twice as frequently and magically get the perfect dice roll to send any single token home! Grrr

Incomplete

The timed ads before and after are loud and annoying. There is a max of 3 online games with a wait period of 15 days to time out if your opponent doesnt move. The computer never forfeits so games are played to completion.

Waste of time

Junk. Junk. Junk. Dont waste your time. Ive been playing this game for quite a while and I can honestly say this game cheats. You can talk of algorithms all you want but if you have three difficulty levels you are manipulating the outcome to the games favor. Plain and simple it cheats.

Dont bother

This is the biggest cheat game Ive seen. Check out the reviews. I agree with every negative comment. This thing will always roll more doubles, hit you in improbable and the list goes on. Junk. Dont play it. App developer should be ashamed.

Waste of intelligence

When you see someone with no ability wins you know that :This game is rigged, just give them a bad review and you will never get the chance to win!

Doubles Win It Too Often

Can you tell me why the computer gets so many sets of doubles when we are in a race for bearing off? I deleted this game once because it seems very slanted toward the computer. Unfortunately I also find it to be the most challenging competition over other game versions at the hard Old English level, so I reinstalled it.

Backgammon Free

I dont want to give this game any stars! It cheats, just like all the previous reviews explained, giving itself doubles especially at the end when you are ahead and it always wins!!!! GRRRRR is right! I deleted this game today and feel so liberated!

It cheats

Ive been playing this game for more then a year and with every new update it gets worse and worse. The game learned to calculate computers dices with much better precision and throws exactly whats needed almost every single move. It looks like the game developers goal is to master his cheating algorithms. If before it was possible to win around 70% of all games (and I played more then 3000 games) playing Hard level, then now it would not let you win (cheating) even 40%. If it was not for cheating it would still be a good software, but not anymore. Very disappointed.

Bad

New review gets a one star cause of that awful add where the app is inaccessible until the add is almost over and theres that fake out as to where the x to stop it is. Meaning you expect it to show up at the counter but shows up elsewhere instead. ------ Latest update is the worst. Ive been playing this app for a long time. Now the dice are always in favor of the AI. Things also appear off from where they should be and glitchy.

Game of War Ad has locked game.

The Game of War ad has totally blocked this game. Cant exit the ad to play the game.

Good game

The ads were annoying but livable, however it is stuck on an ad-- build a tower ---cannot close ad even tho there is an X in the upper right. I like the game backgammon where you start with 4 pips in opponents court. Please fix

Invasive Ads

Deleted. Ads are too intrusive.

Boo

Terrible, computer gets too many doubles and perfect rolls. Thats the only way it can win.
