XG Mobile Backgammon App Reviews

Used to be my favorite app

Now its just trash. Stopped working after latest iOS update. Pls fix!!!

Crashes often during play

App crashes often for no reason during play. Either when doublong, or during tutorial, regular, and competition games.

The dice is not random

Please dont make the big mistake i made by buying this app. The dice is not random. It is frustrating playing vs the computer because it always hits you when youre open even if the odd its almost impossible... And when you want to hit or only to enter you will never hit... If there is a way to ask for my money back I definitely will do it.

Strong Opponent

The best BG app so far.

Great teacher

No doubt this is one clever app. I am learning to play better gammon... just wish the bot played better than it rolls. Use this app to improve your game, but dont expect it to play anything close to fair.

Frustrating

On the more challenging settings the dice are not random. It plays to unbelievable odds for the computer in the rolls, not a more strategical player. I do not recommend it if youre looking for a challenge. The tutor part seems to be a great idea for beginners.

Unstable

Totally unstable on iPad. Could be a really nice app idd it didnt keep shutting down or displaying error messages

Needs explanation

This is a good and powerful program, but it is very difficult to figure out. The developer should do some training videos to help us. It also crashes frequently.

Recommend for all backgammon players.

Keep getting memory error. Can someone fix it or recommend the fix?

Great But,....

Crashes frequently and graphics hang up product on the apple IOS9.1.2

Still crashes - been months since last iOS update still no patch

I appreciate that it takes some time to fix / update your app after each iOS update but it has been months. I have the premium version of this app so the developer cannot even claim its free what do you want. Fix the issue already!

Much Improved

This app just gets better. Yes, it will kick your butt. And... you can do the same - if you play well. Have fun!

Very good

Very nice and organizeed game The best choice! Fantastic! You cant miss

Good game, dicey dice

As other reviewers have said, its a good game for learning correct moves, terrible for its cheating dice. Just accept the fact that it will cheat fairly often, and just learn and enjoy it.

Not Random

The game is great other than like most others it clearly does not have a random dice roll. Might be a good learning tool but you lose often because when the computer needs a perfect roll it usually gets it and you the human usually doesnt. Can someone just write a straight up Backgammon game that rolls random every time?

Crashes crashes crashes crashes

Crashes constantly. Tutor mode crashes all the time. By now the developers should have debugged this program.

It is a good tutor

You can learn how to play world class backgammon just by playing against this app. I play a lot of world class matches now. I even play a surprising number of games that are rated at world champion level. I still have some error-filled games. At this point Ive quit caring about winning the matches against the app. It pulls out win after win after win with amazing comebacks that used to be maddening to see. Now I just play in order to get the best possible rating per game. When I play a world class game and lose I just shrug it off. I do a lot of shrugging when I play against this app.

BG player

Its a great alp to learn from but if you know how to play the dice are less random the higher level you play. The computer gets a perfect dice roll way too often but the thing that frustrates me most is it often freezes on me and I have to turn off my phone and turn back on in order to unfreeze the game. Until they fix that problem I wont pay for the upgraded version.
