"The developer is either deluded or dishonest when it comes to supposedly random dice. Never had a game been so frustrating as to want me to smash my device against the wall as it cheats If you want to learn to play backgammon, this is for you. If you`re looking for an honest game, look for something else. It`s absolutely true that over time the AI and player will probably roll the same amount of doubles. But not when you need them."

"Its ok if you don`t take it too seriously. I have played this game for over forty years and have never seen dice rolls like you will experience here. Just note the number of double fives that appear, mainly in the computers favour!"

"For years I played a competing backgammon game and liked it. Then they changed their bearoff algorithm and quickly it won most of the time. Backgammon NJ costs money, but it includes a rock solid AI, hints, different levels and is highly configurable. I recommend this game wholeheartedly!"

"Worth the money, no question! This is, hands down, THE Android backgammon app if you are a serious player. It`s great to have such a well built AI adversary! The built-in tutoring options are truly brilliant. The only featureI wish for is online play against other users."

"Now that I have had time to play often, every day, I have given this game a fair trial and I have become very disapointed with the game. If you like to continualy LOOSE to the computer, the best I have been able to do at winning is 3 of 11 game, and the fact is I am a very good player. The only positive is that it`s free of any ADD`S. As for the cost, not worth the money being asked. I would like a refund."

"I love the analysis and I do feel like using this app has made me a stronger player. I am not completely convinced, however, that the AI doesn`t receive more advantageous rolls. If the AI hits you and leaves a blot in his home board you lose turns until you`re completely closed out. Reverse the positions and the AI gets off the bar immediately, usually hitting your blot. The app would be so much better with fair dice."

"This app is well worth the cost if you like BG and want to get better. A lot of reviews claim the computer cheats. If you believe it cheats you`re not going to be convinced that it`s not but actual professional players back this app and no one claiming it cheats is a real pro. Other mobile BG apps just don`t compare to BGNJ simple and elegant user interface. The AI is very good even on easy so new players don`t be discouraged, you`ll get better very fast with this app. All offline play."

"When playing this game the computer can be way behind on a game, then suddenly for no reason wants to double up points, then rolls exact doubles or numbers required to completely change the game. Im not saying it cheats, but this often happens"

"The computers rolls are mathematically impossible at expert level. I wouldn`t necessarily call it cheating but either the program knows every roll per match and knows every possible counter move OR the rolls are not randomly generated. BUT you can use your own dice for manual dice rolls which is a heck of alot easier on expert level. No cut and paste answer will convince any of us"

"I`m disappointed because this app is rather expensive and it doesn`t appear to have many features. It looks like it was designed in 1997 and i find the options menu confusing and unhelpful. I paid an additional $3 for analysis but the analysis mode doesn`t seem to actual offer much. I was told you could play online multiplayer on this app but i don`t see that option. Overall it`s just an expensive boring letdown."

"After having this app for a number of years, I came to realise that it`s nothing like a real-life game, and that`s because the dice you get is quite unrealistic... Terribly annoying, the CPU will pull amazing stunts in the most difficult scenarios and most probably will win. I found the fairness changes quite a bit if you use a manual dice, and it`s not in favour of the app."
