Latest reviews of Backgammon Classic app for iPhone and iPad
Painfully slow to play, tiny buttons like Turn. Should be able to tap to roll as an alternative to shaking. Placement of pieces is very finicky.
Ai should move on its turn without you having to press a button. Also you should not need to roll for the ai. You should be able to roll by pressing the dice and move by tapping your piece and the end position. Finally the dice animation is awful, its too obtrusive. The dice should just roll on the table and not take you out of the table screen. Larger dice would be nice too
This game is so disappointing. Does everyone have the same issues? Every, yes every roll is doubles! Not very believable or fun. Small buttons. Dont waste your money like I did.
iPhone 3GS + OS3.0 The dice get only double.
Great graphics and game potential... But the game has a major bug, it only throws doubles!! Solve this bug and I would give it a 4 star
