Backgammon Machine

I’d like to be able to play full screen landscape without triggering the pull-down menu, but UX is otherwise nice!

dubious randomness and let down by not having colour or portrait view options

I play a lot of Backgammon and do not believe the “random” dice generator. It’s simply not believable. They dice do not favour either player but getting a sequence of double six, double five and double six when casting off is simply not believable and spoils the game.

Once you get over thinking the dice is rigged and realise you’re just not a strong player this app becomes amazing at improving your game. Beautifully made and perfect in its simplicity, it has to be one of the best backgammon apps out there. A credit to its developer.

It’s no fun playing against a cheater. On top of that the AIs moves take so long!

Clearly a work in progress but very promising.

First off I have to say to the people who are being crushed by this app and saying that it cheats - heaven help you if you end up playing a proper neural network engine (either XG or NJ). And to the developer who states that “sometimes it will feel like it is cheating as you’re getting hammered”…..I mean seriously dude - did you actually test this against anyone who could actually play i.e. tournament class? This app is absolutely awful. I only lasted 13 games for the sheer comedy value of how bad it was (winning 12 out of 13).

Love the clean interface but as other reviewers have stated the machine just keeps rolling doubles when it is in a tight spot. Pointless. Shame.

Thought this was a challenging game but machine adds a game to its tally even when human wins.

Same old cheating. Worthless.
