Build 4476383v2.5.32011-10-18 23:26:12
Version 2.5: - Updated for iOS 5 - 180 degree screen rotation in landscape mode - Option to lock orientation - Modified difficulty of Easy & Medium skill levels. The new levels are: * Easy: This level is in between the difficulty of the old Easy and Medium levels from the previous version. * Medium: This level has been adjusted in difficulty to better reflect a 1500 Elo rating. This level is more difficult than the old Medium level from the previous version. - In 2-player mode (offline & online with 2 human players), resigning a game with an equity less than or equal to 1.1 will offer to resign a single game instead of a gammon. This will allow players to resign a single game sooner. Previously, the threshold was 1.001, and players could only resign a single game when a gammon was nearly impossible. Now, players can resign when the gammon chance is low. Note: Accepting a resignation offered under these circumstances isn't optimal but can speed the match up. Version 2.5.1: - Fixed a graphical bug in the settings window in v2.5 Version 2.5.3: - Fixed the Play button in the Statistics and Dice Rolls windows for iOS 5

Great but feels like loaded dice
Great app for improving your backgammon skills because it clearly shows the best possible moves and helps you understand strategy. The interface is smooth and easy to use. My only complaint is that the dice rolls often feel skewed in favor of the computer, especially in key moments, which can make matches frustrating. If the dice felt more balanced, this would be an excellent app.

Whatever—Jimmy’s making bank
I have used this app for years; deleting in frustration, reinstalling because I don’t know of a better. I am just tired now. The perfectly non-random roll generator—look at Jimmy’s evidence. It’s just not a fun challenge to try to beat a rigged engine anymore. Thanks for the years of it. May 2026 Update: And now the dude is charging $8 for the app.—Just know that you will learn but never win.

The computer ABSOLUTELY knows what rolls are coming. That’s cheating. I think I have the ability to look ahead as well–but that would be cheating.

Good UI bad dice alg
Just know that there’s really no such thing as random dice when you’re playing the computer. It knows what it needs so just be prepared. When it starts getting every role it needs just start a new game. If you accept a double it will absolutely get what it needs.

Good enough but…
Not the worst, but leaves a few things to be desired. I do like how customizable the gameplay is. App works smoothly and gameplay is intuitive. Cons: Despite what the developers insist, there’s no possible way that the ai isn’t aware of the dice rolls coming up… it gives “hints” and judges/rates your moves based on what will be rolled next. Also as noted in other reviews, the computer on hard gets LOTS of very lucky rolls including repeated doubles during the end game… All of that being said it’s as good of a backgammon app as I’ve come across so far.

Oh the doubles that cheat
Good interface but never fails that the computer gets gifts of doubles at the end of close games to win. Why isn’t there a fair game out there?

comprehensive for real time play
came to this platform from another that had no controls to handle a player who delays, hoping you’ll abort and lose points. this app’s 90 seconds rule helps tremendously. regarding playing heads up with the app/ai; no matter how i’ve’ ‘altered’ how i play(ie, minimizing open pieces) it definitely is a bit frustrating. in summary,i wanted some integrity of an online player that i’d never let get away with slow play.

Not a Fair Game
+1 to all the complaints about this game being rigged. Whatever logic this game uses for rolls ensures the computer always has the advantage. The stats page even shows this, with the computer rolling a far superior amount of doubles and very opportune numbers. Find another, fair app to play on instead.

The rolls are rigged
Opponent always rolls doubles during the end game. The AI opponent also gets amazingly luck while I never do. The opponent goes first 80% of the time. Skip this game. It could be good, but the developer is @#$#$ with you.

100 percent dishonest
I don’t care how many times these app creators say the dice are fair they’re just not saying the truth . I’m a very good player and I have a hard time beating it sometimes . . I mean the computer gets 6 :1 4 times in a row to hit me because if it didn’t it would definitely lose the game . 4 times in a row same numbers . Ok . For the app makers you’re just insulting people’s intelligence .

Best option; 1 potential improvement
Excellent. Only improvement would be to make the workflow to improvement with hints easier. Ex: player moves, then can see an overlay of best possible move.

Rigged
It’s so painfully obvious how it’s rigged to the computer winning when you have to try and roll in 15 times and the computer rolls in after the first try.

Question about ratings
If I won the first game in on the second game, we got disconnected. Why my ELO went down and my appointments went up.

Rolls are rigged, I don’t care what the developer says
It’s a bit offensive that the developers specifically says that the app doesn’t cheat and that the rolls all Match the expected distribution. Perhaps all If the rolls in one game match the expected distribution, but doubles are insanely concentrated in the end game. And, the app definitely looks ahead as it often makes moves that no sane player would make unless they knew the next roll. It’s time for me to look for a different app.

Good but missing functions
No clock which is annoying.

Cheats
Just when I thought I purchased a decent backgammon game, I'm fooled once more. Despite what the developer says, this game cheats when it's losing. The rolls are rigged always in favor of the computer. You're better off breaking out a physical game board and playing one-on-one with a real person.

There Is Absolutely No Way Those Dice Rolls Are Statistically Possible
Honestly? Are you a sociopath? Why is it important for you for the computer to beat players and somehow get a perfect roll of the dice every time? Do you enjoy how angry we all are? What is wrong with you????

Another cheat - don’t waste your $
Despite the fact the dice rolls are available to view ahead of time, it absolutely is checking the rolls before it moves. If i had the time i could check them too before moving but wheres the fun in that. No one, except an ai bot is that lucky. This is one if the worst. 7.99 wasted, deleted the game. I’ll play the other cheating games for free.

Stacked against you
While the game play is good, the fact that the developer has to build in a “the game doesn’t cheat” answer into the App should tell you something. When you get to higher levels, the AI nearly always goes first, and is absolutely aware of the upcoming roles. So while the developer says there can’t be any cheating because all of the roles are known and it’s not favoring the AI, that’s just fundamentally false. The AI does know all the upcoming rolls and knows exactly how to play them. So you will see it time and time again playing a perfect game because it knows exactly what it’s die are going

This game cheats, period.
No matter what the creators say, the game is entirely rigged. I can predict with high accuracy what it will do to improve its position. If you like taking on a cheater, then this game is for you, but don’t expect not to be frustrated and disgusted by how anyone could create something so obviously unfair. It will only diminish your hopes for humanity.

Horrible UI
This was horrible to use. I was excited for a game with better random dice rolls, but it was so clunky and I don’t recommend it at ALL. I played 2 games over 15 min, then submitted a refund request and was denied—decision final. DO NOT DOWNLOAD THIS GAME!

This app is surely rigged against you! The staggering number of doubles that come up against you it is clearly evident of problems in the underlying software. It is just there to frustrate you so the enjoyment of the game is lost. Would not recommend this app.
