Warnung!

XstesX · 15 years ago

In der Beschreibung wird nicht erwähnt, daß zum spielen eine Internetverbindung vorausgesetzt wird. Offline hat man lediglich das Spielbrett und kann gegen einen Bekannten spielen. Dafür allerdings, bietet sich ein reales Spielbrett eher an. Fazit: für iPod Touch User nur bedingt bis gar nicht geeignet. Bei dem Preis tut es mir wirklich Leid, daß ein Stern vergeben werden muß. Null wären angebracht - wie gesagt, für Touch User...

Grausame Bedienung

berndralph · 15 years ago

Die Bedienung ist mehr als grauenhaft. Das Bewegen der Steine ist nicht effizient möglich. Normalerweise spiele ich ein Backgammon Game in 2 - 3 Minuten durch, hiermit brauche ich 10 Minuten und es liegt nicht an meinen Fingern - Finger weg.

Finger weg!

Good AI but buggy

Flayrah · 15 years ago

Backgammon Guru holds a lot of promise but alas, has a lot of bugs. The analysis is pretty nice with its ability to reset a game to a certain point in time, point out good and bad moves, and allow you to resume from that point. The AI, a common weak point with other backgammon games, is pretty good. User interface is pretty weak, with 1980s era/Flash-port graphics. It can be hard to select a piece and dropping it on a point can require more precision than it should. But these are minor complaints compared to the quality of the AI. The bugs, though, make this game hard to live with. A new game can set up with a random piece somewhere on the board that is not really there (but will stay there for the game... distracting at best). Resuming a suspended game can result in the rolls being out of sequence (ie youre white and the dice roll is for white but the computer moves the black). And often, a crash takes you right out of the app. Probability of making it though a game? About 90%. I note this is version 1.0.1. Im looking forward to an update.

Good game but very buggy

Z5h · 15 years ago

The best backgammon game Ive seen. Also the buggiest. If it didnt crash regularly this would be a 4 or 5 star review.

Unstable Program

AerobaticRoll · 15 years ago

The program plays well. However, it is not stable and exits abruptly very often. Also, be aware that to play against the program you require an active Internet connection. If updates fix the stability problem, it will be a good purchase.

App has good scenario but implementation is low quality. App suddenly goes into background, loses current status, graphic interface is error prone. Developers are asked to fix all bugs and release an update. PS. The dice randomness looks suspiciously. Too many subsequent repetitions of the same combination.
