HOW SURE ARE WE
Not in any grossing chart, so this comes from ratings growth (28 new ratings a month on average since launch): revenue grows with new ratings, more slowly for apps that collect ratings fast. Tested on 418 apps with verified revenue: typically off by about 2 times, and big earners tend to come out low. Countries we don't track (and Google Play in China, which doesn't exist) aren't included, and neither are ads or web payments. Gross revenue before store fees.

WHAT THEY COMPLAIN ABOUT · SHARE OF BAD REVIEWS
Price and subscription19%

44 of the 1 and 2 star reviews.

★★★★★ Game engine, tutor, boards, etc. all require individual in game purchases after you purchase the game.
★★★★★ Nice graphics but dice do not fall randomly. Dice tend to favor the computer.
★★★★★ I did receive a developer response - said to spend more money on add-ins.
Lost data, sync, backup7%

16 of the 1 and 2 star reviews.

★★★★★ No matter how well you play it only takes ONE slip to lose.
★★★★★ I don't have to win every time, but I shouldn't lose every single game either.
★★★★★ If you lose it because of your playing mistakes, not because the opponent has an unfair advantage.
Worse after an update5%

11 of the 1 and 2 star reviews.

★★★★★ With recent update, I rarely win.
★★★★★ So frustrating as this is a result of your latest “improvements” on the latest version.
★★★★★ The developer updated this app in March 2024 and ruined it with an undo feature that allows you to undo the other players moves, and then locks up the game.
Bugs, things not working3%

6 of the 1 and 2 star reviews.

★★★★★ I agree with the app developer that there is no incentive for them to cheat, therefore I know the app has a bug.
★★★★★ I fail to see how this is random.
★★★★★ Online play against random opponents does not work.
Slow, laggy, battery3%

6 of the 1 and 2 star reviews.

★★★★★ I changed the game speed to slow.
★★★★★ The ai gets perfect rolls obviously and it takes forever to get out after being eaten it's ridiculous.
★★★★★ There are numerous examples of things like that that simply slow every game down to a snail's pace, and when I'm playing backgammon on a phone I want it to be quick and painless.
Wrong or poor results2%

5 of the 1 and 2 star reviews.

★★★★★ I paid for the app just to find out the platform isn't working. I un-installed and will never return to it
★★★★★ There desperately needs to be a do over button because if you touch the wrong tile, there's no way of correcting it, and let's face it you're playing with yourself, which should be enjoyable
★★★★★ I can never get a lucky roll but the computer can knock my guys off the board at with amazing pinpoint assassin-like accuracy.
Crashes and freezes2%

4 of the 1 and 2 star reviews.

★★★★★ This game froze multiple times on my iPad in the midst of several moves. Very frustrating. Just loaded. I want a refund!
★★★★★ Constant freezing is super frustrating
★★★★★ I BOUGHT it for my ipad, some pieces wont move, you can move pieces in wrong direction, game freezes!
Too many ads1%

2 of the 1 and 2 star reviews.

★★★★★ I feel like the only thing I paid for was no ads.
★★★★★ I purchased this app because I was tired of watching the ads in the free app I was using, but I'm going back to the free one.
WHAT THEY ASK FOR
  • I should have already switched. 2★, May 14, 2026
  • My next roll I need an outcome that should have a 50% (or more) hit rate and miss it. 2★, May 14, 2026
  • The part that needs more improvement is multiplayer and ranking system 4★, Apr 10, 2026
  • I say that meaning, the computer gets exactly what it needs a majority of the time, and the discrepancies in the amount of doubles it gets, especially at the end of games when it needs it most. 1★, Dec 26, 2025
  • Can you please add this Nackgammon feature? 5★, Mar 26, 2025
  • Please allow the doubling cube to be doubled as it was before. 5★, Jun 27, 2024
  • it would be great if they added a score count for my games against the computer so i an see my progress. 5★, May 8, 2023
  • Would be nice to have a better interface for playing others on the Internet. 4★, Jan 16, 2023

WHAT THEY LOVE · SHARE OF GOOD REVIEWS
Fun, addictive17%

30 of the 4 and 5 star reviews.

★★★★★ It's improved my game and made it fun to play the engine.
★★★★★ I would like to play Nackgammon though because it's more fun for me.
★★★★★ No longer enjoying the app with your recent addition.
Easy to use13%

23 of the 4 and 5 star reviews.

★★★★★ The game has a nice simple look and plays smoothly.
★★★★★ Although I think this is the best, most attractive and easy to play Backgammon I have tried, once in a great while it seems to malfunction, and not let me move for a roll.
★★★★★ For example, in a recent game, I was far ahead and expected an easy win.
Looks great12%

21 of the 4 and 5 star reviews.

★★★★★ I think the solution is simple, when using the high-low move mode, the interface should work by just clicking on the triangles (this is the same way in which Backgammon NJ operates and it's much easier to use).
★★★★★ Good interface and the dice rolls when playing against the computer seem fair.
★★★★★ This one has the cleanest interface of the three, best boards, world class AI and fair dice.
Fast7%

13 of the 4 and 5 star reviews.

★★★★★ The play and graphics are fast and smooth.
★★★★★ easy, fast and i love to try to beat the computer.
★★★★★ Graphics look excellent, animations are smooth, and sounds are spot on.
Worth the money5%

9 of the 4 and 5 star reviews.

★★★★★ True dice, two-player mode, additional free tools, no nonsense.
★★★★★ The free version is fine for casual play.
★★★★★ The in app purchases are totally worth it and if you want to play on the same device or online against others that is all there.

Low vision keyboard

On behalf of low vision users, I cannot thank you enough for taking the trouble and working hard to develop this keyboard. Now I can continue to use my favorite game. Thank you Doreen

★★★★★Oct 4, 2026
Unfair

The computers dice rolls are completely and consistently unfair.I don’t understand why this is the case

★★★★★Sep 26, 2026
Fixed in record speed

One of the recent updates bricked the game but the developer fixed it in record time. Thanks!

★★★★★Sep 22, 2026
App after update only shows me a huge piece of board. Can’t do anything with it.

PLEASE FIX!

★★★★★Sep 21, 2026
Game so rigged.

Allows you to win 2 games and then not the third. So obviously and badly rigged Whose the creep that programmed this

★★★★★Sep 14, 2026
It seems like the AI is cheating to win

Never in my life have I played a game of backgammon (I’ve played many) where my opponent got 9 sets of doubles in a row. It seems highly unlikely that would ever happen in the real world. I have to give it a 3 because everything else about the game is really nice.

Optimised for the latest iOS. * You could be playing backgammon like never before in less than a minute. What are you waiting for? STILL NOT CONVINCED? READ MORE… ALWAYS READY WHEN YOU ARE - COMPUTER OPPONENT Whether in the middle of the night or during your coffee break, your computer is always ready for a match. Choose from three difficulty levels to suit your skill level. For those who want to play only the best, a world-class artificial intelligence opponent is available as an in-app purchase. Casual play or competitive match? True Backgammon has an opponent for you that is fun to play with or that is a teeth grinding challenge. PLAY WITH PEOPLE NEAR YOU - GAME BOARD MODE Imagine you are with friends and want to pass the time with a game? Or are you on the train playing against the computer and one of your fellow commuters turns out to be a backgammon player too? You don't need to carry around a real board with you all the time. Instead, True Backgammon is your board. CONNECT WITH FRIENDS OR PLAY AGAINST RANDOM OPPONENTS ONLINE - GAME CENTER Would you rather play against a human than an AI, but there is no opponent in sight? Join the growing community of people playing True Backgammon online every day on an iPad, iPhone, iPod, iMac or MacBook. There's always someone ready to play. And not only can you play with them, you can talk to them using the built-in voice chat. BEAUTY IS IN THE EYE OF THE BEHOLDER - GAME BOARDS We didn't just want to make good AI and smooth gameplay, we also wanted to make it look good. No, not just good... we wanted them to look drop dead gorgeous. We found a skilled designer and then tortured him with feedback until we were satisfied. The result is two boards (metal and wood) that look awesome, while offering little visual distraction to keep you focused on your strategy. And for those who love a little distraction, we let the designer run wild with a selection of (optional) fancy boards, rich in decoration and beautiful detail. Which is your favourite? AAAND ON THE OTHER SIDE OF THE BOARD, A MULTI-OLYMPIC CHAMPION AI - BEEE GEEEE BLITZ From time to time there is an Olympic tournament for backgammon programs. We have persuaded the creator of the three-time winner BGBlitz to make his AI available to True Backgammon users. This AI is a world class opponent for those who want to play only the best. And it is a patient tutor. BGBlitz offers a tutor mode that will point out moves that are not optimal and show you better ones. It also gives you statistics, and you can export your current game to the common SGF format to analyse it with other applications like XG2, BGBlitz or gnuBG. WHAT ELSE CAN WE SAY? To cut a long story short, we have put a lot of effort into this application, not only in the gameplay, but on every level. If you choose it, we are sure you will not be disappointed.
