Unusable

I want my money back. This app isnt useable and Im not exaggerating. Its slow, buggy, uses the wrong rules, has a horrible interface, and has only the barest of features.

I thought the cut off preview pics were just that: cut off. But no, thats what they look like. You cant even see half of the top pieces and they are hard to click on without pulling down the upper iPhone menu.

Once you get into the game, theres only one button--undo--and that doesnt even work correctly. I tried undo and it took me back three turns. Another time it didnt work at all.

Once I got Acey Deucey, and it didnt let me choose my doubles (which is a basic rule of the game). After I took my first move after the final roll if the Acey Deucy, I hit undo to go back one and it completely negated my turn. When I rolled again, I didnt get the Acey Deucy again. So really, thats not an undo. If I try to manually undo and move a piece back, it doesnt work.

The basic rules if Acey Deucey arent even followed. In addition to the problem mentioned above, you have to move all your pieces out before you can move them past the first section. This takes all the strategy out of the game.

But just moving the pieces is a chore. The interface is cludgy, awkward, and slow-moving. The look of the game board is okay but the pieces look two dimensional and the highlight effect is just an absence of anything, in other words a white oval shape.

This is clearly an early beta if that and should not be sold under any circumstances. You cant even exit to the main screen from the game!

There are no customization options, no doubling cube, you cant play matches anyway so no point, no stats, integration, not even your name. Im serious that its UNPLAYABLE. Ive never called any game unplayable, let alone one I bought. This is a travesty and I feel scammed. I think the developers saw that no one else has an Acey Deucy capable version of backgammon and figured people would be desperate to buy sight unseen. I will never buy an unrated app again.

DO NOT BUY.

MaybeDog about Advanced Backgammon, v2.1
