First-rate. As a PC BG Blitz user this is fantastic to have on the phone. Well worth the IAP.

Great app with BIG BUT! The menu/undo button needs to be separated. I use a pen with my phone and tablet and hitting the button during a match with the wrong action has me swearing at the screen...for some reason, the pen does not work when I hit 'undo'...it goes straight to menu...aaaarrrrggghhh! 😉

Very solid piece of software to play backgammon. I am hoping for match review function and analysis in a future (pointing out blunders and so on). Edit: But can we have "after match" review? With arrows that makes it possible to navigate through the game and show blunders? I bought tutor, and it's great, but I think analyzing game step by step afterward have best learning value.

I really enjoy this game compared to others I've tried. The roll of dices seems to be truly random. One thing I'd like to see is in "From-To" mode to have the pointers slightly larger and brighter. Looking forward to play a lot of games. Update: I've been playing backgammon for over 40 years, and I've never seen an opponent get so many doubles and very often the needed roll of dices. Not so sure this game plays totally random dices.

The dice animations are annoying as hell. Please create settings to disable pointless animations. Also the checker animations when starting a new game just takes forever. Please create settings to just turn off all these animations. Also for some reason, sometimes when I click on a checker to move it, it doesn't move. I don't have the issue in other backgammon apps. Analysis features are good, but the app is too annoying to use for me.

Dice algorithm in favor of computer. Gets the rolls it needs. Now only use independent random dice generator. Inserting dice throws manually 👎👎

Reply: I see the di. Does the AI? If not, why did it accept a double with 5 pieces still on the ace point whilst I have anchors on 2 to 6,having already bared off 4 counters My dice forced me to be positioned so that I can be taken only with a 6.(3:1) It throws a 6 and holds me on the bar for 5 throws, needing a 4, 5 or 6 to escape, (256:1) escapes itself (81:1, so 62,208:1 for that) as needing a 6, Anchored!! Takes me twice, and I only win by playing a deliberately bad position. Not unusual.
