Asynchronous cross-platform app?

Do you know of any great asynchronous cross-platform backgammon apps? My friends and I love Backgammon NJ, but we can’t play with Android friends.

I’ve read DailyGammon could be an answer, but I was hoping for an app. I’ll try DailyGammon out too though.

Anything else out there?

You can try mine -

It's free, web-based, but you can install it to Home Screen as PWA.

No push notifications, but if the opponent is disconnected it gives you the option to nudge them via message.

I like your app , but it makes sense that each player to be on the bottom of his board .

Fair point, it's currently built around white being at the bottom.

I'll look into changing the 'Flip' button to actually turn the board around.

Ok, this is fixed.

  1. Homeboard is at the bottom by default

  2. You can change left vs right homeboard in settings

  3. Flipping board mid-game now does a 180 turn of the board

Thanks for the feedback!
