Pros and cons of Tawla (Backgammon game - Arabian Style) app for iPhone and iPad

Tawla (Backgammon game - Arabian Style) app good for

Nice app, good design takes me back to watching my Grandfather play! Cheers
This is the third backgammon app I downloaded and by far the best one I ever played on pc or online!
Nice graphics. Enjoyed the free version until a recent free upgrade only offered easy version. Upgraded to $.99 version. Its only $.99 folks! Now can play "hard" level. They should fix the (illegal) play allowable after initial dice throw though.
It is great game and designed well. Just the hard level is not hard and i will the hard level very easily. It would be great if we had the harder & hardest level too.
It gives you a feeling you are playing using a traditional, real tawla. The way you throw the dice, the sounds and the graphics are excellent. Would have been great if you could play with two fingers, e.g. When you get a 1:1 you may be able to do only two moves using two fingers.

Some bad moments

lite version dont have problem , but this version after i buy , i play but after one move its crash , i try more time , but all time crash ! please fix this bug !
The app suddenly crashes when clicking on "new match". And why no german language?!
I bought this app for its great board design and speed. Pity this app is not responsive and frustrates the player by having to keep tapping since the drag option does not work. As well, no matter what level of hardness you choose, nothing happens to demonstrate you are playing with a more advanced oponent. Dont waste your money. Keep checking out the free version until they fix the bugs or improve it.
This app is full of bugs! Will allow illegal moves, no instructions nor settings, sometimes no undos. I want my money back.
I have really enjoyed the "fairness" of this game. I have 2 other games and they seem to roll what they need to win. This one gives you a fair decent challenge. It is relaxing and easy to play.
The game is very Realistic with a beautiful middle eastern design, but the dice animation slows down the game, there is no doubling cube, and even on the hardest setting the game algorithm isnt very cleaver.
