Great app! But when I try to play online the only sign in is through facebook. They deleted my account so I can't sign in. Would be 5 stars except for Facebook sign in. I was mistakenly trying to play BGNJ on my PC instead of my phone. Therefore giving the android app 5 stars.
Still playing this awesome game. It kind of reminds me of Gnubg only better.
I play with this application for the many years. At the beginning I was very frustrated. I thought the app cheat. I used real dice and surprise, computer beat me! After that I accepted that I don't know how to play and I start to learn. Now, after few years, I play backgammon with same people who beat me in the past...
Great to learn how to take my game to the next level
Truly the best Backgammon app on Android. Full featured with almost everything I want and more. If you're into analysis, the extra $3 is worth it to go back through a match, jump to mistakes with the option to play it differently from a certain point in the match. Fantastic!
Great App. I am loosing all the time but don't think app is cheating but playing very well. So well done to the programmer.
