  • Buggy

    Pictures are always buggy and rarely load properly. Search functions are limited.
  • Handy but Pesky

    I like this app because it’s super nice to just whip out my phone at the end of a game to log a play or search ratings for a game I’m interested in. However, the adds are annoyingly frequent and always pop up at the most inconvenient times. Another aspect I find pesky is that when I’m logging scores, the keyboard covers up the last players details, so I have to keep checking myself to know I’m entering the right thing in the right place. Overall, it’s a good app, just some kinks that should be untangled.

    It can also get finicky with the server connection and not load game content, but somehow those ads are still able to magically load.

  • Good but still not as good as old app

    One feature I used often with the old app is filtering my collection for what number of players a game plays best with. Please add this filter.
  • Problems signing into BGG

    Haven't been able to sign into BGG through the app for a couple of weeks. Anything going on?
  • Love this app

    If you enjoy board games and want information at your finger tips here it is. Easy to maneuver around the app and add to your collection and plays.
  • Love it but errors!

    I’ve used this app for a few years and have loved it. Unfortunately I haven’t been able to get it working properly without errors loading game data, plays, and other info. I’ve uninstalled and installed again many times... This app is no longer useful for me, any tips or help? Cheers.
  • Good when it works, which isn’t when I’m using it.

    I’ve opened the app on 8-10 different days and only had it work for 2-3 of those times. My most recent launch of the app finally made me decide to come rate it.

    Upon launching the app a full screen ad popped up and I waited thinking it was one of those “after 10 seconds an X appears in the corner”. After waiting 30 seconds I finally poked the ad to see if the app was responding and it turns out it was a video clip on loop I had to close which was very annoying.

    After the ad closed I was bombarded with notification ribbons within the app “unable to connect to BGG servers” over and over and over. Either leave it up or show it once! It was covering a large part of the upper screen and every time I closed it with the X it instantly reappeared.

    I’ll try it again in a week or two, hopefully they can fix this but it’s been broken for months so I’m not holding my breath.

  • Good, but has problems with expansions added to your collection.

    Still seeing some issues with adding expansions to my collections. I love the app but I’ve added all of my game expansions and none of them are showing up. When I log in on a browser they show up fine. I try to turn on showing expansions under the filters and nothing changes. Also the app crashes each time I try to show the expansions from within the game page.

  • Looks Great

    Awesome app! I almost like the interface better than the actual website. Able to review change and add games in your collection. I wish that there was a way to check your geek mail.
  • Filters and videos

    I really like this app. It would be great if you could somehow add a way to browse games using a filter. Possible categories could be price low to high, price high to low, genre, theme, minimum required players, games with additional expansions, game company, high in strategy, high in luck, games with figurines, games that utilize companion apps, etc. Another addition that would be great to see could be a video section that is strictly for “how to play” videos and “short review” videos. Thanks for creating this app it’s great.
