This game crashes every game!!! Absolutely teribble!

Help!!! This game crashes every time, keep sending reports and nothing

Crashed and closed whenever a piece was hit and sent to the bar. Wasted my money on this one.

First move of black crashes app every time. Rubbish.

Ive been playing Backgammon Guru Pro (on a "strong" opponent setting) for a few weeks now on my iPhone 5. I do enjoy it most of the time, but it really bothers me sometimes that the dice rolls are not random. There is no way that the computer can roll doubles 4 times more often than me. 8 times out of 10, after asking me to double the computer will either roll doubles, or will get exactly the combination that can both knock off my piece and set up a great blockade. Just so you know, Im a 55 year old science teacher with a Ph.D. Ive been playing backgammon for decades, and Ive also had multiple graduate level statistics classes, so Im pretty familiar with the way dice rolls should work if they are truly random. Also, it sometimes takes me several tries to get my checkers to move. If you could widen the acceptable "touch" area after a piece has been chosen that would be nice. Theres only 2 places a given checker can go, so youve got at least half the screen to work with--theres no reason you should have to touch right at the points tips.

The game crashes constantly when you change the settings. And, what is this "doubling" business? That would never happen in a real match. Anytime the AI is up, it makes you "double" or resign the game. Seriously no fun.

A good tutor on backgammon. Against the computer they do get many doubles. Lucky for me the AI resigns when it is clearly winning. So it needs some AI tweaks. A good way to get into the game and practice moves

Ive been playing backgammon for 30+ years and have played a number of these games. The algorithms are ridiculous and the game gets many times more doubles than the human. I bought the pro version and deleted it after about 10 matches. Terrible game.

Trying to change number of games in a match crashes app every time. Backgammon NJ HD is a far superior app in many ways. If you are serious about backgammon, choose that.
