Does anyone know a good backgammon app?

My favorite is one that seem to be unknown to most...

https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/backgammon-online-2/id395137246?mt=8

It also allows you to play online at FIBS (first internet backgammon server-play bots or real people)

I have been playing at FIBS for about 15 years and have over 5,000 matches played. I used to use a Mac app, first classic then OS X, but now play almost exclusively on my iPad or 6 Plus with the app above.

For whatever reason this app never seems to show if you do a search for backgammon in the App Store on your ios device, not sure why.

It is pretty good, but I think backgammon masters takes the cake.

The app has had a few good improvements for the last year or so, the internet game seems faster, too.

I mostly just play hotseat at evenings with my son, but have tried online a few times and it seems solid.

Backgammon live online

How do you find that link to the app?

The only way that I can do this is via the appshopper.com website. If I type in "itunes.apple.com" all it produces is the apple website and links to buying Apple products (not apps).

Oh, links aside, Backgammon HD by Trivial Technologies is my favorite. (I'd post a link to it, but can't work out how to get to it in the first place).
