Pros and cons of Gammon app for iPhone and iPad
Gammon app good for
Once you get the hang of playing 3-4 games in 1-2 days its kind of cool to turn on your iPhone and make one or
two moves then come back and see what you opponent has done.
Good game but its playing by opposite side and I have to change my side to play it should not change but anyway thanks a lot
Playing this game quite a lot, and enjoying it so far. Excellent interface.
Good graphics, easy to use, it seems to me that it can satisfy even the more experienced players than me.
Im really enjoying !!
This game is great when used with coliseum. I hope more good titles come out soon.
Im addicted and cant put my Iphone down. I play daily for hours sometimes.
The best app I have.
Some bad moments
Regional BackGammon Champion here. Lots of cheaters everywhere.
When real odds are 36% players manage to achive 90%.
My advice is for you to search for another app.
You know what .. Its free .. Just down loaded and see how bad this application is ... You make the call !
Im embarrassed for the developers who created this garbage. Too bad there is no such thing as a negative star.
Players are cheating in this game and should be banned. PLEASE LOOK INTO AND RESOLVE THIS ISSUE!
I hate that players can start a game with you which starts automatically and you CAN NOT decline to play. Players keep starting games with me that I cannot keep up with. You will lose the game if you dont make your move within three days. There is a vacation mode to extend the time limit BUT IT DOES NOT WORK!!
Dice are rigged NOT random. An opponent got SIX doubles in our game that I was ahead in to win the game. You can be ahead in the game, get a lousy roll and forced to make a bad move. Happens all the time and you end up losing.
Customer support never took time to answer my email when I could not connect to the game.
this is by far the best online backGammon app for the iPhone. Great community, lightweight, and has a solid ranking system. would love the doubling cube to be added eventually...
NOT User friendly at ALL!!!! I will update/ start playing again when they make it more user friendly!!
