I only played 6 games (of which I won 4, so I don’t think this is sour grapes), so perhaps I was just actually unlucky, but the computer significantly out-pipped me in every game and was also fantastically lucky with me missing opportunities to hit solo pieces upon entering from the bar (In one game, I went 0 for 5 on hitting pieces the computer left open in its end zone when I had a piece on the bar while I was way ahead, “coincidentally” allowing the computer to come back from way behind). -- Addhhjutdryjjf, 2026-01-06 ### ***** "Strong player" I’ve played all the BG apps and this one has the strongest AI I can play offline. Thank you! Dice rolls are completely fair and neutral, most people just aren’t aware of how much better this bot plays than the other apps. -- peanut1296!, 2025-10-18 ### *---- "The game is 1000% rigged" This game is absolutely rigged. I have played this game for over a year and it is statistically impossible to get the rolls that the AI gets. The question is, why???? Why rig a game against the player, there is no money involved. Just takes the fun out of it and makes it frustrating. -- Farbod26, 2025-09-03 ### ***-- "Dice rolls not random" I have played a lot of games. Hard mode just gives player worse die rolls and the computer better dice rolls. Dice rolls are not randomly distributed. But at least it doesn’t have ads. -- Jim in Ramona, 2025-08-08 ### ***-- "It’s a start" Nice graphics. Game sometimes will not allow me to make legal moves and second guesses causing way too many undos. Statistically, computer is way too lucky on doubles rolls. When I feel the urge to get belligerent, I’ll play a couple of games here and go out looking for something to destroy. :( -- Trip.9s., 2025-05-13 ### *---- "PvP broken" 2nd player can roll, but cannot move pips. -- Definitelyabuy, 2024-09-13 ### ***-- "Computer Advantage" I enjoy the Ad free component of this game, but I have to agree with another reviewer that the computer dice rolls are much better than rolls for me. If I leave an open man, the computer seems to roll one number that can hit me 75% of the time while I only seem to be able to do that to the computer maybe 25%. Playing the back game is usually advantageous but when the computer is bearing off, seldom are any men open. The dice rolls seem to allow men to be covered and if open, no dice roll will hit it. -- fishycrabby, 2024-04-12 ### *---- "RNG Favors AI" This game does not have a fair RNG. It heavily favors the AI. The algorithm is not fair between player and AI. Do not play if you want a fair game. -- MOLovin123, 2023-05-25 ### *---- "AI Cheats" The dice cheating in this one is pretty bad. Not the worst that I’ve seen, but it’s up there. -- Moritz Seider, 2022-05-18 ### ***** "By far the AI for backgammon" Congratulations for the fantastic computer player -- Rxf115, 2022-03-13 [View all Backgammon KG reviews and detailed analytics on AppTail](https://app.apptail.io/signup?utm_campaign=ai-crawl&utm_content=reviews) ## Apps Similar to Backgammon KG - [Backgammon Premium](https://apptail.io/app/backgammon-premium-ke/united-states) - [SmartGo One](https://apptail.io/app/smartgo-one-xXr/united-states) - [Backgammon NJ HD](https://apptail.io/app/backgammon-nj-hd-MbQb/united-states) - [Backgammon for iPad & iPhone](https://apptail.io/app/backgammon-for-ipad-iphone-JZyc/united-states) - [Backgammon Tutor](https://apptail.io/app/backgammon-tutor-qLPc/united-states) - [Backgammon Unlimited](https://apptail.io/app/backgammon-unlimited-Wssd/united-states) - [Backgammon HD](https://apptail.io/app/backgammon-hd-yope/united-states) - [Chinese Checkers Online](https://apptail.io/app/chinese-checkers-online-asug/united-states) - [Chess By Post](https://apptail.io/app/chess-by-post-veLg/united-states) - [Backgammon NJ](https://apptail.io/app/backgammon-nj-UnSi/united-states) ## Backgammon KG Available In - [United States](https://apptail.io/app/backgammon-kg-FTo/united-states) - [United Kingdom](https://apptail.io/app/backgammon-kg-FTo/united-kingdom) - [Australia](https://apptail.io/app/backgammon-kg-FTo/australia) - [Germany](https://apptail.io/app/backgammon-kg-FTo/germany) - [Hungary](https://apptail.io/app/backgammon-kg-FTo/hungary) - [France](https://apptail.io/app/backgammon-kg-FTo/france) - [Denmark](https://apptail.io/app/backgammon-kg-FTo/denmark) - [Greece](https://apptail.io/app/backgammon-kg-FTo/greece) - [Croatia](https://apptail.io/app/backgammon-kg-FTo/croatia) - [Indonesia](https://apptail.io/app/backgammon-kg-FTo/indonesia) - [Israel](https://apptail.io/app/backgammon-kg-FTo/israel) - [Italy](https://apptail.io/app/backgammon-kg-FTo/italy) - [Japan](https://apptail.io/app/backgammon-kg-FTo/japan) - [Kuwait](https://apptail.io/app/backgammon-kg-FTo/kuwait) - [Lebanon](https://apptail.io/app/backgammon-kg-FTo/lebanon) - [Mexico](https://apptail.io/app/backgammon-kg-FTo/mexico) - [Poland](https://apptail.io/app/backgammon-kg-FTo/poland) - [Paraguay](https://apptail.io/app/backgammon-kg-FTo/paraguay) - [South Africa](https://apptail.io/app/backgammon-kg-FTo/south-africa) - [Chile](https://apptail.io/app/backgammon-kg-FTo/chile) - [China](https://apptail.io/app/backgammon-kg-FTo/china) - [Czechia](https://apptail.io/app/backgammon-kg-FTo/czechia) - [Estonia](https://apptail.io/app/backgammon-kg-FTo/estonia) - [Egypt](https://apptail.io/app/backgammon-kg-FTo/egypt) - [Finland](https://apptail.io/app/backgammon-kg-FTo/finland) - [Sweden](https://apptail.io/app/backgammon-kg-FTo/sweden) - [Ukraine](https://apptail.io/app/backgammon-kg-FTo/ukraine) - [Vietnam](https://apptail.io/app/backgammon-kg-FTo/vietnam) - [Saudi Arabia](https://apptail.io/app/backgammon-kg-FTo/saudi-arabia) - [North Macedonia](https://apptail.io/app/backgammon-kg-FTo/north-macedonia) - [South Korea](https://apptail.io/app/backgammon-kg-FTo/south-korea) --- ## About AppTail [AppTail](https://apptail.io) is a mobile app intelligence platform providing app analytics, ASO (App Store Optimization) tools, keyword tracking, competitor analysis, revenue estimates, and review monitoring for iOS App Store apps.
