I moved recently, and I can’t for the life of me figure out how to change my location.
This has serious potential and is really polished but it crashes constantly especially when reviewing collections which is the whole point for me.
I hope someone takes the time to optimize this and get it rock solid. This could be incredible.
I like the app a lot it's pretty and user friendly. I was able to find one board gamer and we ended up being really good friends. Some issues I have is that when you import your games a lot of them for some reason doesn't have images on them. Having images sometimes jogs people memories of they have seen that game before or played it but couldn't remember the name. Second thing I would do is have more advertisements for it and put it on forums and FB pages. Overall great app I'm hoping it will pick up speed soon so we can make new friends and game more!
It's very polished and has most of the features I'm looking for. The UI is smooth, connects to my BGG account, and it's free!
A couple downsides:
-Nobody uses it. I happened to stumble upon a Reddit post that mentioned it, otherwise I wouldn't know it exists. When I signed in there was one other person in my area, and they have yet to answer me 2 weeks later.
-It only shows users who've checked in. Not game stores (FLGSs), events, or libraries/cafés that offer board gaming. And once someone's checked in, they stay checked in and are quite possibly not even using the app anymore.
I like the idea of the app, and it looks great. I just haven't successfully used it yet.
Why does it need a big advertisement push?
1. Too few people on the map, and I live in Orange County.
2. When I search the app name, "Board Gamer" on the ios store it comes about 20th in line after all these annoying sodoku apps. The app needs a more unique name to be bumped up, so more people can download it and connect!
Bug
1. BGG collection download is amazing! Except it doesn't work. I always seem to have problems connecting to BGG even when I check to the website and it isn't under maintenance.
I want to use and love this app, but people need to know about it first!
Just needs a store locator
App crashes after starting
This app is simple and effective. I like that you can see "checked in" players on that map and message them. I would recommend it to any board gamer.
Seems like this is a good initial launch for the app but there's a lot more potential.
I have friends around the US that I'd like to play board games with. There are tons of great board games on iOS so there should definitely be an option to add your Game Center creds to your profile. This would add another dimension to the app... Still allowing you to see who else is around/online, but you wouldn't necessarily need to meet up to play the game. You could play instantly! I think that expands the scope of the app and would really help build a bigger board gamer community!
I don't know if there are notifications on this app but you NEED to follow Periscopes lead on this. When people are connected or following others, they should get a notification whenever one of their connections come onto the app.
Hopefully there are plans to develop this further!
