Backgammon Guru Pro for Android

Where to start? Game board display places chips not centered on the points, point numbers appear off the board, can’t discern where the opponent is moving, etc., etc. I’ve been robbed by buggy apps before, but this was the quickest realization that I’d been taken.

I write this after first move of a new game. Black (AI) starts. Black moved w19/w21(2) and w12/w14(2), but dice show 52. That would be a valid move if the dice were 22 (=2222), but the roll to choose who starts can not be a double. Using the rollback button, the moves unwind and the dice roll is now shown as 22. Play forward, then rollback to have dice shown as 52. BOZO (I used screenshot on Mobile to preserve evidence). Note: my experience matches Austin3443! & Antiduplicity: excessive doubles for the AI "player" Take-Away: this stand-alone app is not a good lure for the companion website with "games" having cash prizes.

I found a bug with the latest software that allows illegal moves. There is nowhere on the site that I see to contact the company to let them know. Poor.

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.

I've 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.
