Too many ads50%

158 of the 1 and 2 star reviews.

★★★★★ Annoying and can't get out even when ad revenue s finished
★★★★★ Way too many ads, takes a long time to even start playing!
★★★★★ Gets stuck on ads for other games I don't want and you can't close them.
Lost data, sync, backup11%

34 of the 1 and 2 star reviews.

★★★★★ I have finally deleted this app.
★★★★★ I went to move my pieces when the game suddenly started a commercial, once done I had lost the double six roll and ended up with a 1 and 4 roll.
★★★★★ This was the first game I started playing years ago and the very occasional ad. Now you have not only increased ads BUT now the game is interrupted; the ads go on and on often interrupting the game and freezing the…
Worse after an update8%

25 of the 1 and 2 star reviews.

★★★★★ Not sure which update it was, but now there are long ads between every game.
★★★★★ Used to love this game but am now deleting it. I opened to play today only to discover that it has become just an ad platform with no way to access the actual backgammon game.
★★★★★ This app has been updated to include a double portion of ads.
Missing features3%

11 of the 1 and 2 star reviews.

★★★★★ I opened to play today only to discover that it has become just an ad platform with no way to access the actual backgammon game.
★★★★★ Lately they keep showing advertisements for other games and they are long and no way to decline to purchase them.
★★★★★ No option to end the ad so sadly had to remove this app.
Bugs, things not working3%

9 of the 1 and 2 star reviews.

★★★★★ It's free, very basic. I was unable to remove pips from the board when I wanted to bear off.
★★★★★ Can't bear off at the end - very frustrating
★★★★★ First redesign in eleventy years and all it does is triple the ads and slow down the game. The ads are now longer than the games. Cannot recommend.
Crashes and freezes3%

8 of the 1 and 2 star reviews.

★★★★★ Gets stuck on ads for other games I don't want and you can't close them.
★★★★★ Now has new ads that never give you a closing button and crash r9 black screen that every time you touch it opens the advertisers website.
★★★★★ Many of the commercials will freeze up preventing continued play, even after trying to reboot the game.
Slow, laggy, battery2%

6 of the 1 and 2 star reviews.

★★★★★ Ha egy kicsit is taktikusabban játszom, máris úgy változtatja a dobásokat, hogy kizárólag a gép nyerjen!
★★★★★ It takes forever to get to the game due to lengthy ads.
★★★★★ First redesign in eleventy years and all it does is triple the ads and slow down the game.
Price and subscription2%

5 of the 1 and 2 star reviews.

★★★★★ I do beat it, more than I lose, but when it goes into one of its double shenanigans I just cancel the match and start again!😂 Not bad for free, and sometimes there are interesting scenarios, but it's nothing like a…
★★★★★ I realize you make money from ads but that is pathetic.
★★★★★ I know, I could pay to turn them off but I'm not convinced this app is worth the money.
WHAT THEY ASK FOR
  • But it would be better if the rolls were truly random. 3★, Sep 1, 2026
  • Also if computer needs a 5 and 4……it will roll a 5 and a 4. 2★, Aug 13, 2026
  • I wish it kept score. 4★, Aug 12, 2026
  • Just wish there was like points or something. 5★, Jul 30, 2026
  • How many times does the computer need a specific role and roles just that? 3★, Jul 15, 2026
  • When it is apparent you are going to lose, it would be nice to have a forfeit option instead of having to remove pieces til opponent has won 5★, Jul 7, 2026
  • It's fine for a bit of fun as you're learning the game but once you progress to hard mode the dice are stacked in the app's favour which really takes the shine out of it, it's very demoralising knowing the app will… 2★, May 26, 2026
  • Nor do I wish to play Royal Match! 1★, May 16, 2026

★★★★★ Like their other iphone games they run well - hard mode gives the phone the best rolls which is challenging - tedious protracted ads

Annoying and can’t get out even when ad revenue s finished

Great game

Fun game but too many ads

★★★★★Oct 16, 2026
Game cheats

If you only play the computer as I do, the game cheats. Amazing how the computer roll of the dice always come up with the number needed to knock you off or win the game with amazing double roll of the dice. Not any different than playing poker in Vegas. The house will always win. Otherwise a fun game.

★★★★★Oct 15, 2026
Ads Make Free Version Unusable

I just installed it, and was assaulted with a distracting flashing ad banner. I deleted it right away. I can’t stand even testing it to see if I’m willing to pay for a premium version.

★★★★★Oct 14, 2026
Invasive adverting

Won’t let you play audio while you play- will always trash your audio feed to run an unwanted ad and if you go back to restart audio, these jerks will run another ad just to make sure you know that you don’t control your own phone- they do.

★★★★★Oct 12, 2026
Advert nightmare

Way too many ads, takes a long time to even start playing! Yawn
