User Reviews

Backgammon Gold is beloved by long-time players for its core gameplay and generally solid interface, with adjustable difficulty. However, multiple reviews cite a recurring drop in quality: biased RNG/AI, intrusive ads after paying for premium, loss of online multiplayer, and frequent crashes or UI regressions after updates. These issues, along with doubling glitches and orientation problems, heavily color the current experience despite the game’s strong foundation and nostalgic appeal.

Pros

Loyal, long-time user base with many players who have enjoyed the game for years.
adjustable difficulty levels that actually influence the AI, allowing balanced play.
Generally solid interface/visuals that users found usable when the app functioned.
The core backgammon gameplay is enjoyable and recognizable for fans of the game.

Cons

Perceived unfair RNG/AI behavior, with computer rolls seeming biased and frequent favorable outcomes for the opponent.
Ads appearing between games and premium purchases not preventing ads, including reports of ads after upgrading and ad-block price changes.
Loss or removal of online/multiplayer features, with users noting no online play or net play since updates.
Crashes, freezes, and performance issues after updates, including slow dice and UI slowdowns.
UI/UX regressions after updates (board changes, orientation issues, missing controls like the undo button) and specific doubling glitches.

Recent reviews

Read the reviews. Don’t pay these people anything. The designer of this game has been laughing over these comments for at least 13 years. They designed this game just to get people angry over never being able to win against “COMPUTER EASY”.

I have been playing this game on the app for many, many years. it was always fun, and I appreciated that you could adjust the level of play and the game actually responded that way. However, for the last month or so it is impossible to win, and it is almost as if the computer is out for vengeance. Every time I get knocked off and there is only one point covered, I roll that number in doubles 4 to 5 times in a row. However, I will have all points, but one covered and remarkably that’s the role the computer gets. In addition, I will get a role that forces me to a spot, I won’t have any options, and then the computer takes advantage of my position. It’s been a good run, but I’ll look for a new app now.

I play this game every day and love it but, since the update I have to flip my iPad around since landscape only works one way! Very annoying! Please, it should a simple fix.
