Description
• Also available for OS X in the Mac App Store
Backgammon Online was the first internet-capable backgammon app in the App Store and Mac App Store. Play anywhere at any time against real people.
You can choose between several servers to play on:
• the vivid First Internet Backgammon Server (FIBS, see fibs.com) or the similar TigerGammon (see ti-ga.com)
• or Game Center
FEATURES
• On FIBS there are also very sophisticated bots of different playing strengths which are a serious challenge to even the most skilled Backgammon players
• Creating a new FIBS account is just a matter of finding a suitable user name, no web-site visits or personal informations required
• Automatic forced moves and bear-off
• Integrated FIBS Chat and Game Center Text and Voice Chat
• All aborted matches are automatically saved
• Ratings for each player are based on match results and other factors, thus you can easily find a player with your playing ability. The same algorithm is used for both FIBS and Game Center accounts, thus it is easily compared
• Finished matches can be saved in the MAT file format and later downloaded to your desktop computer using iTunes. The matches can then be analyzed using professional backgammon software
• Tap or drag or multi-drag your tiles back and forth, using backgammon on a device has never felt so natural
• You can also play offline (use as an Backgammon Board)
What’s New
Version 3.3.1
- Fix a crash related to showing chats on iPads
- Fix layout issues with the other match length interface on iPhones
Ratings and Reviews
FIBS, not Game Center
This is an excellent mobile app for playing FIBS matches. If you want to use Game Center, you're not going to find anyone online. Besides, there are much better Backgammon apps for that--try NJ Backgammon.
The FIBS matches work exactly the same as any FIBS desktop app. It uses the same login, the same dice rolls, and things run at the same speed. The app itself is a bit clunky--the way to move chequers is a bit odd, and you must shake your device to undo--but I think that's expected from any FIBS app.
The only other FIBS client I use is CocoaFIBS. Even though this one is a bit clunky, it's significantly more enjoyable to use. The graphics are better, the bear-off bugs are non-existent, and Backgammon is much better suited to touch screen than a mouse/trackpad.
Even with the issues I have with gameplay, this is the best FIBS client I've found--desktop or mobile. Very worth buying if you're into FIBS, but stay away if you aren't.
Terrible
Terrible app
No one is ever online
And those who are don't play
Complete waste of money!!
Riped-off
No one online, no games to play. Real waste of money.......
