Backgammon Pro

No remote pvp

Can’t turn sound off - so irritating can’t play, have turned sound off on phone and optimum turns it on!!!

Nun

It’s rubbish

I have played this game for years now and originally gave it four stars. However, the recent upgrade, which was intended to remove some bugs, has actually introduced more and has seriously reduced the enjoyment of the game. The results of the dice are displayed before they have completed their throw and they wobble about the screen. Also, some strange sound effects are emitted at the oddest of times. Still a great game but now very much compromised.

This is by far the cleanest and easiest app to play backgammon on against the AI, and definitely worth the £2 to get rid of the ads. Could do with a few new features such as keeping a count of games won and lost and being able to input your own dice rolls to keep things fair. My biggest bug bear is that the game is relatively easy to beat on medium, yet on hard all it seems to do is give the AI exactly the dice rolls it needs at least 90% of the time. I even started calling the AI rolls before they came out and was right a big percentage of the time. If you could roll your own dice and then input the numbers this would mean the AI was having to rely on strategy rather than dodgy dice. Overall good app but needs work.

Sadly the computer gives itself far more doubles that you can through and always manages to gives itself the ideal score to capture your pieces

Great game no issues try it!

I’ve been playing this for around 6 years and I play several games a day consistently. If you don’t like your throw press undo and roll again you will get a different throw. That should be fixed. I have screenshots of games on iPhone of being hit in the opponents home board and the AI leaving just one of its counters on every point. Similar hits have happened more than once. There should also be some history of matches played and lost. A nice app but it’s been out long enough to have no bugs at all. This new graphic change also has brought about a peculiar counter judder when counters are coming in off the bar.

Recent changes have made it unattractive and difficult to see. Why change what was working well?
