REVIEWS

"[I] know strong bg play when I see it. This app is the strongest iPhone bg app I've played with by far. It does not cheat period. ...Analyzing these matches with eXtreme Gammon confirms a world class level of play with normal luck factors. If you are losing, get over it. So would 99.9% of the other backgammon players in the world. It is just that good. Learn from it." -Richard Munitz, Giant of Backgammon, #21 world ranking in 2009

"Backgammon NJ plays at an extremely high level with an excellent interface, and I often use it to practice on my iPhone when I am traveling. I recommend it highly to my students and friends." -Phil Simborg, Professional Backgammon Teacher and Player, www.mindgamescenter.com

"I've played over 500 games now; I've checked about 5% of these against World Class Desktop programs (GNU, BGBlitz); and I've actually used some of the competition. NJ has the best interface and has more useful functions than any other backgammon apps out there."

"For serious backgammon players, Backgammon NJ is the way to go." -Macworld.com, May 2012

Developer Response ,

The crashes are very likely related to bugs in Apple's Game Center. The same crashes are happening to apps by other developers that use Apple's Game Center for online matchmaking. The bugs started in iOS 10 and haven't been fixed in iOS 11. To test whether your crashes are Game Center related, do the following:

1) In BGNJ, under Advanced Options > Online Settings > turn OFF "Enable Game Center"
2) Force quit BGNJ (double-tap Home button and swipe away BGNJ)
3) Run BGNJ, play OFFLINE matches only, and see if it crashes

Sehr starkes Backgammon

Auf Expert level spielt es sehr stark. Nicht ganz auf dem (Weltklasse) Level der besten PC Backgammons, aber stark genug, dass man viel von ihm lernen kann. Ich liebe das UI: In Sekunden ist die App gestartet und man kann sein Match weiter spielen. Die Züge sind intuitiv einzugeben, alle Regeln wie Crawford gut umgesetzt. Wie stark es spielt, zeigen die "die App betrügt" Kommentare hier. Die wirklich guten Engines bekommen die häufig von Anfängern, die nicht glauben können, dass ein sehr starker Spieler eben so spielt, dass danach auf ihn sehr viele gute und auf den Gegner sehr viele schlechte Würfelkombinationen warten. Nicht meckern, lernen!

Eine Backgammon app die nicht schwindelt

bin wirklich sehr zufrieden... klar denkt man manchmal- das kann nicht sein. Der Wurf ist gezinkt. Aber wenn ich mit meinem Freund (im realen leben) spiele passiert das genauso.

Wie jemand hier schon so schön gesagt hat. Mal das Ego runter schrauben.

Thanks for the app - i like it very much!
