| 2024-04-06 |  | | Updating my review from 2017, since I've had this game installed for that long. It is one of a few backgammon apps I play, but not my favorite now. My biggest pet peeve is that it allows an opponent who is losing to just give up and let the clock run out...which would be annoying but fine if it still counted the gammon. The opponent only loses original bet, not the chips for being gammoned. Allows for poor sports and sore losers. |
| 2024-01-23 |  | | So sick of getting kicked out of games! I've lost countless chips because of this. I played all day, kept getting kicked out until I lost all my chips on both my Facebook account and guest account. Went back in tonight to get my bonus so I could play one game and got kicked on both accounts so counted as losses again. I was winning both games also! And no, it's not a wifi problem, I kept switching from wifi to mobile data to make sure that wasn't the problem. |
| 2023-04-23 |  | | Updated, 4/23/23 All is well ! Game works fine. Switched phones and most of not all of the bugs seemed to have disappeared. Played for months without any issues. About a week ago, a glitch won't allow me to log in to my FB via the app, so all 4 million of my chips and my progress is, as of now, unreachable. Please fix this! FB gives canned message that "the developers are aware and working to fix". |
| 2023-03-20 |  | | Backgammon is part strategy and luck of the dice. Great graphics just a couple things that need fixing When playing the dice won't hit the board they stay in the cup rattling away. Second is when your playing game ends & you want to play another game with that opponent you can't because of an ad didn't use to be ads after playing a game now there is. No way to get out of watching that ad I tried numerous times So you can only play that person 1 time. Otherwise you would get 5 stars |
| 2023-01-07 |  | | Lots of fun, algorithm is crazy wrong. It's impossible, some of the odd rolls. 2016. Now, in 2022, it will not connect to Facebook, so all my accumulated points are lost. It's not that fun now. 2023, good. I got my 50 million chips back. The algorithm is still corrupt. How on earth can I guess what the next roll is? When that roll for the opponent is exactly what they need for a hit or block! Or when it's down to the last roll, 3 to 2, they bet! It's your game unless they roll a double. You lose |
| 2022-10-05 |  | | It runs slow and so even after you hit Done the clock runs out. Someone on level 60 with millions of points can play someone on level 6 with hardly any points yet. One player can get a ton of doubles and the other player doesn't get any. Just an uneven playing field. Once our internet is restored in FL I'll delete the game. |
| 2022-09-23 |  | | This game is beginning to really suck!! I just completed a game for 25,000, that the opponent accepted the double challenge on, and I freaking lost the game because the timer kept counting down AFTER all my pieces were in and I tapped the dice to complete the move. So, since I can't seem to contact anyone about these glitches that keep happening I'll leave bad reviews every time it asks me to rate the game.😡 |
| 2022-09-19 |  | | I've been playing this backgammon app for years. It seems to be bias for most part. No matter how good you are, one of the players will roll a crazy amount of doubles or one will roll exactly what nis needed through out the game. Did notice it at first but I see it more and more. Now, when it's not even your turn it says "you lost" ran out of time. You can complain, but you won't get your tokens you are out of back. If you are serious backgammon player, I'd look else where. Too many bugs. |
| 2022-07-12 |  | | Better than all other backgammon apps but locks up FREQUENTLY, causing you to lose games, some of which you were going to win. Also, allows players to quit to avoid an inevitable backgammon. Also, sometimes allows players to avoid using both rolls on the dice when they can-avoiding exposing a blot (I haven't figured out how they do this one yet!). |
| 2022-07-07 |  | | This is engineered so poorly. You can be way ahead and the game hangs and you lose. Terribly frustrating. I use to like this game. Maybe there are too many people playing. You can be playing and the other guy takes too long with his turn. Instead of giving you the game it freezes and ultimately crashes. But it dings you as well. Plus they bug you endlessly for reviews. |
