I tried several backgammon apps. This was the best one for pitting myself against live people rather than a comnputer. The game had some quirks but it worked pretty well. Dice rolls appear fair. Everything was going well until I updated a few days ago. Now the game is loaded with ads. Popups occur at the end of every game and each time you try to invite other players to play with you. Some of them take longer than others for the X to appear that allows you to close the ad. It’s super annoying and I’ll be looking for another app if they keep it up.Some suggestions for improvement: it would be nice if this operated like Words With Friends where I could choose either to play a friend or be randomly matched with a stranger. Sometimes, I have to sit there and push the button for “invite everybody” repeatedly before I’m finally matched. I’d also like another WWF feature: multiple boards with multiple opponents: I make a move on one board then move on to the next. It would allow me to think through the best option available on a bad dice roll without annoying reminders from the computer or snide comments from my opponents. Finally, the chat feature could use some improvement. You can’t start typing until you see a little blue cursor — but it’s on a black background so it’s hard to see. For some reason, you may have to hit your keyboard repeatedly and squint to see if the blue cursor is there - instead of it always being there when you shift to the chat window. It’s really annoying to start typing, knowing the clock is ticking on your move, only to discover that you didn’t type anything at all because the cursor wasn’t there before you started. Anyway, this was a very enjoyable game despite the quirks mentioned above until the update started saturating us with ads.

Out of the five backgammon apps I’ve downloaded and played over the past few years, this is probably the most competitive and enjoyable due to the opportunity to compete with players around the world. The random dice generator is fair and game analysis with dice rolls are provided after each game. The latest update provided pairings based upon experience and winning percentage. Overall, I have enjoyed it to learn and improve my strategy

The dice are rigged, there is absolutely zero randomness to the dice and the game app chooses who wins or losses not the pay of the player or any strategy out forth by that player.This app also sells so called tickets which you can in turn play others for, basically turns these tickets into a currency but the only ones that hey actual money are the admins of this app. They also run tournaments for so called tickets where you can win tickets.They have a forum section but if you post something that goes against their "racket" or hurts their bottom line numbers, they will block you from ever posting it.I've shared my findings of them cheating via email with some one claiming to be administration but he just denied my facts and findings that the dice and app is rigged.Do yourself a favor don't get the wacky app... IT CHEATS,

I do not care at all for the new format on our Backgammon site. It's harder to read with the green background. Same goes for the dominoes site. I hope this is just a trial on your part. It doesn't look like game colony without the 'white ' background. Big mistake making the change. Very disappointing.
