Backgammon Guru Pro

cannot use this on my iPhone 12. The formatting is not compatible. Checkers are overlaid over the screen without reference to the board or points.

I have an iPhone 12 and on my screen the graphics are completely broken. The checkers appear outside the board and it’s impossible to play. I regret paying for this useless app.

Beware!! I wish I read the warnings before purchasing. Apple should be ashamed of allowing apps like this on their site. There should be a one hour cancellation policy!!

Where to start? Game board display places chips not centered on the points, point numbers appear off the board, can’t discern where the opponent is moving, etc., etc. I’ve been robbed by buggy apps before, but this was the quickest realization that I’d been taken.

I write this after first move of a new game. Black (AI) starts. Black moved w19/w21(2) and w12/w14(2), but dice show 52. That would be a valid move if the dice were 22 (=2222), but the roll to choose who starts can not be a double. Using the rollback button, the moves unwind and the dice roll is now shown as 22. Play forward, then rollback to have dice shown as 52. BOZO (I used screenshot on iPad to preserve evidence). Note: my experience matches Austin3443! & Antiduplicity: excessive doubles for the AI "player" Take-Away: this stand-alone app is not a good lure for the companion website with "games" having cash prizes.

I found a bug with the latest software that allows illegal moves. There is nowhere on the site that I see to contact the company to let them know. Poor.

Trying to change number of games in a match crashes app every time. Backgammon NJ HD is a far superior app in many ways. If you are serious about backgammon, choose that.

I've been playing backgammon for 30+ years and have played a number of these games. The algorithms are ridiculous and the game gets many times more doubles than the human. I bought the pro version and deleted it after about 10 matches. Terrible game.

A good tutor on backgammon. Against the computer they do get many doubles. Lucky for me the AI resigns when it is clearly winning. So it needs some AI tweaks. A good way to get into the game and practice moves

The game crashes constantly when you change the settings. And, what is this "doubling" business? That would never happen in a real match. Anytime the AI is up, it makes you "double" or resign the game. Seriously no fun.
