User Reviews

Reviewers praise the app for strong offline AI, learning features, and a clean, ad-free UI, but fairness concerns dominate: many say dice rolls and AI behavior bias gameplay against humans. Some report UX issues with undo/moves. Overall, solid gameplay and educational tools, but trust in fairness and stability are the main drawbacks.

Pros

Strong offline AI that provides challenging gameplay.
Ad-free experience (no ads).
Tutor mode with pip-count and move analysis for learning.
Clear graphics and a responsive, user-friendly interface.

Cons

Dice rolls are perceived as non-random or biased in favor of the AI, raising fairness concerns.
AI can feel too strong/unbalanced, making it hard for human players to win.
Undo and move restrictions: only a global undo and occasional blocks preventing legal moves.

It’ll even glitch to win

These have got to be the worst dice rolls I’ve ever seen, the AI ALWAYS manages to get exactly what it needs, hyper unrealistic and I’ve been playing backgammon for 4 decades
