Backgammon V+ for Android
This game is full of glitches one time i had my oponents game pieces and it showed that he won
The ai is still completely rubbish and has no concept of bg strategy whatsoever. There is more skill with tiddly winks than with this game. The people saying the game cheats have v low iq/extreme novice players...with response to your comment on my ratings of other bg games, yes youre right, i rated most of the other bg games 1 star as well as yours as they are complete trash also. There are only a few games of bg available that offer a decent game and understand bg concept and theory; yours isnt one. Sorry if the truth hurts. Unistalled again.
FIVE Stars!! I never give five, for the logical reasoning that there is always room for improvement. However, in your case, there is no need to improve. You're eons ahead of your competitors!!
Programmed to cheat. Uninstalled. Plus, very buggy. Freeze phone when received incoming WhatsApp, SMS and calls. Worst game ever played. Developers better go fly kite!
I have played this game many times at the expert level. Sure, there a few times the computer got a "lucky" roll, but I have beat it more times than not by putting my pieces in good positions and getting a "lucky" roll myself. The people who have wrote poor reviews about this game being "rigged" need to practice more.
Lots of level good strategy best for players good concept manual dice

The game is not so much rigged as based on probability algorithms that some low grade programmer thought was clever. Very lazy. Better options out there. Avoid. Rating: one star.
At the Expert Level the Dice will play out to the favor of the AI. Also, there is no way to play a round of games. Like the best out of 5.
Has A strange set of rules bringing pieces in to home.

Cool
Game was pretty level until I got to the highest level. Whenever you leave a piece exposed, the comp gets that roll. Then it gets exactly the rolls to box you in until most of their chips are in, and when you do get out, you always roll 3's, just to make sure you lose. Too predictable. I'm removing it soon as this is posted.

Annoying sounds and dumb ai, don't download. Also slow.
The dice definitely feel rigged. Impossible runs of luck on both sides. Three rolls of 4-1 in a row. Multiple doubles in a row. And I'm talking 4-5 in a row. The dice are either rigged or it's just poor code. I suggest a more advanced random generator routine, and using 4 (FOUR) independent methods for generating the rolls for the two dice of the two players. Other than that, the dice should be visible at all times. Most annoyingly, the messages cover one of the dice. Additionally, a more speedy animation wouldd be welcome, especially when the computer has a long run of "luck". Plus, one more bug: I switch to another app mid-game and when I come back, it wants me to play computer's moves. One more thing: I assume the random generation is some kind of op system function that may have changed without the app code itself being changed. Update: 90% of the time in expert mode, computer's first or second roll is a double. Nonsense. There is something definitely wrong here.

Don't know how it works been downloading for 2 days
Amazing luck the computer has on expert mode
I don't like it
Fun
It's all good
Only grippe i have with this game is the graphics that arent super nice! Dosent crash,dosent bug,dosent lock up its a decent game. Its good for what it is.
Below average. Difficult to use, unsightly boards, very few options, overall unimpressed. Uninstall.
Leaves a lot to desired on all fronts. Note edge
Smooth ui. Watch them dice roll.
Love it
Worst ever
Don't worked

The developer insists the die arn't rigged. Please explain why in the last game( are you able to recover?) i am 116 points ahead,3 dbl 6,2 dbl 5 and 3dbl 4,,,,,,consecutively. You might say im bemoaning my loss,,,,,not so,having consulted a maths teacher(yes im a purest),the probability is,,,,,,475,437,068-1 Not rigged???? Behave
I have played a number of computer backgammon games for the last 20 years. Many did have rigged dice, but I see no indication of that in this game. Backgammon is a game of position. Put yourself in good position increases the odds of rolling numbers you need. What this game does need is the ability to play a match to a certain score. Otherwise doubling means nothing. After all, why would I concede a game? I think a graphics overhaul is in need as well. Great apps have a slick ui. This doesn't.
Computer plays foolishly...moving pieces rather than taking them off, and in apparent attempt to compensate, gets statistically impropable & outrageously fortunate rolls...feel kinda cheated whenthat happens
Cheats quite often as when winning it gives itself quite a few doubles, to finish quickly. 2nd die moves slowly to match up numbers when rolled
I hate it when I can't shut off volume for a game...if i can't play it while my mate sleeps it's not worth having.
I agree with josh, its amazing that no matter how you say it the dice for computer will majicly get the exact roll it needs over 90% of the time. Its a total waste of time and there is no way I would pay for this app even if the cost was a penny
As soon as the game opened it rolled the dice and moved my pieces. I was not allowed to fix that. No thanks.
by U####:
So the manufacturers say its not fixed. It nearly always finds you when only two dice will do the job e.g. throw 6/4. Its amazing how many times this happens. Do the manufacturers not understand percentages and the law of averages?
