I agree with other posts, this is not realistic and very frustrating to play. The computer rolls should be RANDOM!!

Pretty much a flawless game. No undo during online gameplay. Great Great Game ! This seldom has any glitches...not sure what all these people are on about ??? I love it and play it all the time and online theres always willing participants. The only thing that drives me nuts is the people that forfeit cause they dont have the lead. Just play it out so your opponents can enjoy the game.
Perfect - great online
When we play real backgammon we dont through the dice when there is no possible moves. You should do the same. If the player doesnt have moves he does not through the dice... Simple. When are you going to correct the connection problem. Its very fustrating not being able to finish matchs. Do something....always connection lost...
Especially on hard. Impossible throws by computer. Why not just make one level with fair random dice. Else it is called cheating. Disappointed.
Very good game
I find it an excellent match for my skills. The computer makes most of the moves I would make and when it doesnt, I usually win! I recommend it.
Never played this game. Im enjoying it and look forward to the more complicated twists.
This game looks nice and Its nice not having ads popping up but geez its frustrating how non-random it is at times. I should not be able to predict rolls at the frequency that I do. The opponent is typically over represented in doubles and "lucky" rolls while I am typically underrepresented in those rolls, relatively speaking. I understand luck is a part of this game but come on...like I said, I shouldnt be able to predict rolls as often as I do.
I have been playing this app for about a year, and have about 2000 games under my belt. It is a good app, but needs tweaking. During online play, the app routinely freezes, or what I am now finding is an increase in players closing the connection manually if they are about to lose or feel they are down in the match. This results in inaccurate stats, if that matters to you. It would be nice to know before playing a match how many times your opponent has closed out of a game prior to its completion (or just know their overall win-loss). It is frustrating to play an entire game only to have your opponent bail when the going gets tough. Regarding the predictability of the dice roll, it is an issue. Play enough games and you will see for yourself. If the only way to get hit is from a 6-2 for example, then that is likely to happen a third of the time.
I bought this app and then wanted to gift it to a friend so we could play each other. I have sufficient balance in my account but I cannot gift it without giving credit card information. Makes this app not so useful for me if I cant buy it for my friends to play against.
As for the rolls, it challenges you to work harder to win. Have really improved the game since I first got it last year. I play daily :)
Nice to see you found acey ducey , but why does it crash when I am about to win
I really enjoy the game, but whom ever programmed it set it up to cheat, no one can throw as many doubles as when it needs to get ahead.
FU with the ads in the paid app!!!!!
last 4 games in 5 computer opponent rolled nasty many doubles after offering double cube. Bad programming. I quit.
Ive found this game to be deteriorating as time goes by. Im not sure if the issue is with Apple or the game but connections are constantly lost, players can cheat. All in all not much fun.
Great game. Please fix the new menu. When I go into help to try & find out the rules for the different varieties of backgammon the info doesnt display in the frame on the screen. Game is locked, cant go back or forward.
I really regret buying this app. At the medium difficulty level, the computer makes ridiculous moves, really playing like an idiot with no sense for the strategy of the game. At the hard level, the gameplay is more realistic but Ive become convinced that the computer cheats, winning the first roll 80% of the time and rolling doubles *repeatedly* he when Im in the lead (even rolling **four** doubles in a row when bearing off to beat me when I had a clear lead!). Either its no fun because theres no competition at all at the medium level, or its no fun because its rigged at the hard level.
Would love to see Acey Deucy in turn based. Please add this feature :)
