Customer Reviews
Good App but...
I have played (literally) thousands of games with this app and I love many of its features such as the zippy speed and the different versions available. I also like the ability to not show the dice rolls. Saves times and speeds up the game.
However, lIke many others here, I have noticed the timely frequency of doubles given the computer. And since we are not able to clear the history of our rolls, I uninstalled and re-downloaded the app to keep track of doubles.
To my surprise and utter disappointment in the developers of this app, the statistics LIE. Jot down the stats before you play your next game then compare the numbers afterwards and you'll see what I mean. I have played one game so far and the stats are telling me I rolled the following doubles.
1= 1x
2= 1x
3= 2x
4= 1x
5= 2x
Right Nothing could be further from
the truth because I rolled not even one double ZIP, NADA, ZILCH.
Despite the lying and cheating, I still have won the majority of games in the past. Why do I keep playing? Because I'm addicted to Backgammon, but one thing is for sure, I will not be buying their Premium version!

Great
Excellant App
I really enjoy this app. The hard level could be harder as I usually win. The program seems to leave too many blots at the wrong time however I never seem to get the roll to hit them. Also the commuter sometimes doesn't use the best use of the dice when bearing off. This game has made me a better player and I highly recommend it. I'm going to upgrade today to the paid version to see how it plays.
