Backgammon Online at Mac App Store analyse

I had no problems with the previous version, but saw an update notification and installed 1.3 though I had yet to install Sierra on my iMac, using a newer Magic Mouse (which had no earlier problems left and right clicking to designate moves. After upgrading to Sierra (10.12.2), left clicking takes several attempts each time, right clicking to move lower roll is no problem. And the oddest thing is it gets more difficult getting a stone to move via left click as the game goes on. I hope this helps the developers because it’s made Backgammon Online a really tedious experience.

After the update, its mpossible to register or to connect to the server. Shame on you. This app should be out of the AppStore !

An für sich ist die App ganz gut. Allerdings wird man nach 5 nicht beendeten Spielen gesperrt bis man sie nachgeholt hat. Das heisst du musst so lange warten bis mindestens einer dieser 5 wieder online ist und das Spiel mit dir fortsetzt. Dabei spielt es keine Rolle ob die internet verbindung abgebrochen ist oder der gegenspieler das Spiel beendet hat. Einfach nur schlecht… Finger weg!!!

I installed last year and have never been able to use it. I forgot my nickname or password, online support could not help to solve the problem. They are not developed enough to make things go smoothly.

Отличный клиент для FIBS. Пожалуй самый удобный из тех, что есть под мак. Сохраняет партии в mat формате для последующего анализа. Русского нет, но и так всё понятно.

Having used a few FIBS clients on the Mac over the years, Ive longed for someone to make one that seemed like it belonged on a Mac. This one does. Being able to scale the board to any size is alone worth the asking price. It looks and plays very nice, and the animations are smooth and likable.

Im an OK backgammon player. I win most games I play unless luck goes against me or I am playing someone really good … and lucky. But this app is the most uneven weird thing I have ever experienced. When I started I won games and shot up from 1500 rating to over 1700 as one would expect and experienced player to do. Then I started to make comments on the community board about how weird I noticed the dice were and got very flip comments from the people managing the server - as you would expect if it was programmed to be random. But and over the next games all of a sudden my luck changed permanently. Over and over mhy opponents would come from behind with amazing odds, which is to be expect sometimes, but way out of proportion. My opponents were getting doubles and very lucky unlikely roles and I got stuck on the bar almost every game. I continued to play to see if these was some kind of weird run of the dice, but I am really sick of it. I trashed it and suggest other people do the same or not buy it. I cant prove it but there is something not right here since my games here are different from games with real dice or at other online venues such as Microsofts Backgammon. I dont know of a way to verify the dice in an online game like this, and whatever peculiarity is not changing the overall randomness of the dice, just favoring one player or the other randomly as if it was programmed to control the game. I cant prove it but I know when something is wrong. Find something else for online backgammon. I think there is some sophisticated stuff being done on this server … it is not the developer of this app per se where the problem lies. The worst thing is that it actually costs money.
