Backgammon Online is also available for iOS! Backgammon Online connects you with the vivid First Internet Backgammon Server (FIBS, see fibs.com). Play anywhere at any time against real people. FEATURES: • Polished user interface and beautiful boards • 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 • All aborted matches are automatically saved • Finished matches can be saved in the MAT file format, which is readable by almost every professional backgammon software (match-saving requires Mac OS X 10.7.3 or later) • Ratings for each player are based on match results and other factors, thus you can easily find a player with your playing ability. • this app is also available for iOS (iPhone, iPod and iPad) in the iTunes App Store

This is great software, and it's great to see that folks are still developing clients for fibs. Unlike some other clients or programs that allow fibs connection as a feature, this has no ads, which is great. It seems to run smoothly and has a pleasant interface. There are only two things that keep this from getting 5 stars in my book. 1: no repbot integration. This is a pretty big deal, because on a server where rating is everything, you need to be able to tell if someone has a history of dropping matches. 2. the split window interface for chat vs gameplay is kind of clunky, and it would be more pleasant to have the chats gathered into the same window as the match. All in all, a very nice client.

Once in awhile, one of more pieces dissappear from the board, or thre will be a black sploth where a piece was. I've reported this bug but no respnse.Further, the app currently does not work with OS Mojave.

I love to play fibs, once I upgraded to Yosemite, "cocoa fibs" the program I was using, didn’t work as well. So I looked on the App Store and found this beautiful program! Some reviewers don’t seem to realize that this program only gives you access to “fibs” which you do have to sign up for a free membership. If you don’t like fibs, don’t blame “Backgammon Online”. It would be like blaming Safari for the bad content on the internet! Anyways it is a beautiful program that works very well, would just like to see the “Lobby” work a little better, then I will give it the full five stars!

This update fixes a crash that could occur upon rejected invitations.
