Understand scoring

Played computer best out of three. First game I had a gammon, second game computer won with a gammon. Game ended and stated computer won match. Can someone please explain scoring rule. Should there not have been a third game for the win?

Friends

Can’t figure out how to add my friends to play with them

A really great app, and…

The way it cheats has to make you laugh at a certain point. If you have three places covered in your court it comes in every time. it’s as if they weren’t there. Fun to play, as long as you don’t mind playing against an opponent that is unbelievably ‘lucky’ with the dice. Still fun to play, though. Manually rolling the dice, gives you an entirely different result.

Best backgammon app

No unnecessary bells and whistles, just world-class backgammon on the expert level. Just play on Expert with instruction enabled($) and try to improve your percentages. It is NOT cheating, it's just better than you unless, you're one of the top dozen players in the world.

Please kick Bowtothecream off of app

This player will change his name to incorporate other players names and attach to profanity or use names like other players and act rudely disguised as that player . He is a 2170 player…please kick him off app

In-app purchase not forever as promised

I purchased the analysis capability several years ago. It was supposed to be forever. It worked fine until recently when it said I needed to purchase the analysis capability to use that feature.

Best online Backgammon available,

Get this. Its a well thought ought amazing online game. I have game friends in every timezone and can play 24 hours a day.

Exit Program

I just upgraded to iOS 16.1, and not I cannot exit app on iPhone without re-booting phone. Any help would be appreciated

Overall quality product

Excellent design and tracking. Feels like the computer knows what dice rolls are coming so it knows when to double and/or hit your pieces. Best backgammon product for iPhone.

Very good!

Dice are fair. The computer player is pretty good. Backgammon is the cruelest game.

Ah so awesome and no such thing as crashes or freezes.

It has everything except it can't make coffee. The rolls are pretty darn fair. I couldn't find any problem with them. Even if you might think they are unfair there are enough adjustments in settings to make you feel better. I have to refuse the temptation to "cheat" using hints when I run into a problem. This can be great for learning but sometimes I get lazy and keep wanting to hint to a win. Shame on me.

Great but a bug:

The app is amazing! Great and all the customizaiton you could want. Controls and UI are also great! But there's a bug when playing on my desktop. For turn based games I only see that my oponent played if I quit and reopen the app. There is no notification. Can you please try and fix? Let me know if there is any way I can help debug. Thanks for an amazing app!

Fun but definitely cheats. I get way more doubles when I’m in the hole than out

Something is fishy with those rolls

Maybe it does, maybe not

My perception is there’s something odd about dice rolls. But it just makes it sweeter when I do win. Would like a button that shows the list of rolls and moves as the game progresses.

Great multiplayer support!

My favorite backgammon app mainly because of its excellent multiplayer support.

Very Good But…..

Best backgammon Game On Here. Too Bad It Duper Cheats. Catches You Every Time. I Would Give It A 5 If It Didn’t Cheat Like This. But Otherwise…A Very Good Game…

iPhone X Issue

I have used Backgammon NJ and HD for years and have enjoyed it.

Vaguely amusing.

It feels totally artificial. The dice are so loaded and predictable it’s depressing. It takes three rolls for me to come in, where in the same situation the computer comes in EVERY TIME. After a while it’s really boring.

Great game, but…

This is the best backgammon app out there, but I can’t help thinking that it’s rigged. It always manages to get the exact rolls it needs, and gives itself lots of doubles when bearing off.

Easily the best

If you’re interested in improving your game, this is by far the best I’ve seen, better than BG Galaxy…. I recommend the complete analysis package!

Backgammon is sometimes fair

You learn the formulas of this Backgammon Game. Barley winning and opposition rolls doubles and wins. But I am addicted...what does that say?

One of the best

The moves are quick and precise. Just what you are looking for. You can easily set random numbers and use built in options. I have tried dozens. This is a keeper

Great app.

Great way to increase your knowledge of backgammon, become a better player and choose appropriate opponents.

Too many doubles

I’ve played this app for years. Mostly fun, but in the Hard and Expert settings, the computer can simply roll you off the board and never let you back on. I’ll have to try the manual rolls.

Learn more

This app is an excellent teaching tool for those who wish to improve their skills.

Game is good, but crashes constantly

When in multiplayer Game Center mode, the game constantly crashes. The developer says that Apple Gamecenter is the problem, but surely there’s a workaround.

Marginally Better

Yea, it's got improvements, but it still doesn't give you a win when the other guy bails.

Best non human player ever

I used to consider myself to be a really good player, but this app actually helped make me a really good player!

Love the app

Great fun to play with your friends and improve your rating. Swipe up from the bottom of the screen on the long side of your phone to get out of the app. Thank you!

Love the app but it still seems to hang

Still see too many real-time games hanging - wish this could be sorted out.

The best ever I have seen , I am a professional player nearly 50% is my score with this great game

I love it very much This is th only programed backgammon worth playing for professionals It’s great keep the good going

Bg

Good but on e open on my iphone i cant lose

I have seen my game improve

It’s so easy to think you played a bad game because you lost or a good game because you won. This app helps you evaluate your game objectively. I’m still not a great player, but my game has improved significantly.

Best backgammon currently out there; play it daily.

The following was a canned offering that I cannot disagree with. Follows standard moves for aggressive players; great learning tool most of the time. Almost never makes dumb moves unless it's being really aggressive. Strongly recommended.

Addictive app

My most used leisure app. Great game combining skill and luck; believe the dice rolls are random as advertised. Except when I lose ;-) Expert level is very challenging.

Odd

Move ratings differ greatly from experts. Also amazing the amount of times entry with opponent only having the 6 point or 3 point covered. It’s a nice app why is it rigged?

Playing easy from expert

I win most games when I play in the easy mode. Go figure. It’s more pleasing to win every now and again. In expert mode, I rarely won.

Game quits on iPad

Game shuts off unexpectedly when playing on iPad.

Cheats

In the first five games I got doubles once. AI got doubles SIXTEEN times. What a joke!
