Backgammon HD App Reviews

Ive used this app for years now. Its one of the better ones out there. However, I would like to see the following improvements. 1. Make the dice rolls truly random! It seems like doubles pop up all the time when a pip is on the bar, and always with a number that the opponent has blocked. Also, when both players have all their pips on the home row and are bearing off, the player with the most pips on points 5 and 6 only rolls ones and twos. 2. When I have multiple games going, I would like a button to click for "next game" that takes me to the next game where its my turn to play. (See Words With Friends.) Currently I have to make 3 clicks toget to the next game: Menu, then Games, and then the game I want next.

The computer gets doubles and perfect rolls all the time. It hardly ever gets stuck with a single tile exposed - always gets the roll that assures at least 2 tiles are together at all times. Its frustrating and takes the fun from the game to know its unfair.

Since last update crashes when trying to access in progress tuen based games.

I dont play that much to be extra critical or to have a tons of suggestions. I just enjoy the game and Its definitely one of the best.

This is the worst update in the last couple of years. More lockups and dice rolls do very strange things. Skips players moves. Please fix soon

The app is great for playing with other people, but recently, I havent been able to even find an online match because it keeps searching for even a whole day!!! FIX IT Now it has been 3 days. There is nothing wrong with my iPhone. Have I been shunned from playing? Whats the problem? Please respond.

Skip the players move and you cant continue the game, Just wast of time!!!!

A little too easy to beat the Hard game. Lost its challenge. Folks who forfeit when they are going to be Backgammoned to default to a one lose is frustrating. Forfeit should be to the actual score. This game encourages folks to quit rather than play the game to the end as less points to lose. Just fix it!

Game is full of bugs. Crashes almost every time you play online and hit double. It has even had you miss rolls and the other player get 2 rolls. Even had me switch sides mid game online. Dont waste your time.

Wow, Im amazed at the "luck" the computer has when behind. Double sixes, double fives, and double twos - in a row. Its pretty blatant, and makes the game frustrating and overall non-enjoyable. Not worth it.

First, how can they NOT have random dice rolls. Second, players quit after 1 game. Hopeless. opponent way behind, then gets 6-6, 5-5, 3-3. Always like this. why do they update without fixing fatal flaw.

Update...August 25th...Come on guys!!! You had it fixed before the last update. Again this would be a great game if the computer didnt roll a ridiculous number of doubles (last game I played it rolled like 6 sets of doubles to,my 1). You guys can do better than this....Do not buy this App until they fix the "computer rolling doubles issue"...

The game used to have more realistically random rolls. Now, so many doubles are repeatedly rolled (mostly in favor of the computer), it seems more like a rigged game. Not fun or challenging. Please make the rolls more like truly random rolls!

Computer gets very timely doubles and rarely double 1s. Also it has a habit of hitting single pips on a high percentage of rolls. In other words I feel the computer cheats.

Computer cheats

The last revision made a change that limited the number of tokens on s point to about 5. Incredibly irritating not being able to make a legal move!

While it does roll a ridiculous number of doubles and sometimes seems to cheat, I have learned to play a little unpredictably and so I am way ahead. I have played for for over 2 years on hardest setting and am up about 7 to 1 (9-game matches) BIG BUG to fix please: you MUST take both rolls if possible. Computer sometimes does not do this when it is likely to be hit by doing so. (That really is cheating).

You updated this app and ruined it-BIG TIME! I was really enjoying it, but now it is very clear the computer rolls are not random at all. The game cheats! No way random fool could result in that many doubles for the computer. You want to return my money?

I dont want pretty, I want an intelligently developed game for my money. Someone is asleep at the programmer switch if they think that making the game more challenging at higher levels means letting the computer opponent select the perfect roll when it needs it. Heres a cool idea; create a pick your own roll button and sell it as a $9.99 add on to this piece of crap to give the player an even chance against computer.
