XG Mobile Backgammon

Done my own stats over 1000’s of games and the statistics tell it all. And always in the same positions, like coming in from the bar - dance in 78% with 2 points closed. Or when xg is about to lose gammon, manages to ALWAYS hit those doubles running to safety, staggering %’s. Opening game, Run with one checker with 6-2, 6-3, 6-4....after 100 games where xg had a hit% on that loose checker of 96, that was it. Sickening. Many more examples

I am an advanced player and this app will make anyone better.

It’s nearly impossible to get the sidebar back once it disappears. I keep getting stuck in some sort of training mode and there’s absolutely no way to get out of it. A couple of times I’ve had to delete and re-download the app just to figure out how to get back to normal playing mode.so awful. They just need to leave a gear icon or something on the screen at all time so you can get out of all of the bizarre mode that you accidentally find yourself in on this game please please update the software.

The best backgammon app I’ve played, with the ugly exception that one can’t disable the doubling cube. The cube singularly removes the test of skill between either the computer itself, or another opponent, and the real person trying to learn and get better. It’s sad that the cube imposes the gambling spirit on the game that should be fun. I’ll continue to play the game, though realizing that I’mhaving to fake the rest of skill. Pat Hatchel

Once I updated my iPhone this app stopped working . I just keeps freezing on me . Paid 10 dollars for nothing . It’s really useless at this point . Too bad it was my favorite app . Tried to email the developer but no answer

Last few months the ap freezes, even reinstalling will not fix it

I played 20 games in a row letting the computer “roll” the dice. I lost 17 of the games. I played 20 more games using a pair of dice and entering the numbers for both me and the computer, and I won 13 of those games. It’s really obvious too. In the computer rolled games when I would leave only 1 spot open the computer would roll the number needed and usually the second die would knock one of my pips out. Like if it needed a 5-3 it rolled it 7 out of 10 times. If I had 3 spots to land a pip on, it might take me 3 or 4 rolls to get 1 of 3 numbers. When rolling “real” dice, the rolls were “random”. I know, how ShOcKiNg!!!! If I had a 50% chance of rolling a number I needed, it came up close to 50%. If the computer needed a specific roll, the percentages of getting that roll (1/18) were accurate, not 70%. If I play the game against the computer and let the computer roll, my entertainment is predicting what the computer will roll based on the board. I’ve become pretty good at predicting situations and guessing the rolls. I guess correctly around 75-80% of the time. If I could really predict rolls like this game does, I’d make a fortune in Vegas playing craps.

I like tge way you can move men back and forth but I found the constant tutorial annoying. It froze on me several times.

It may have been good when it worked. But it freezes now and is no longer supported. I downloaded the game…it locked up so I paid for the premium. Still froze so I deleted and downloaded again. Still froze in same spot.
