Great app with one huge flaw

Love this app for my collection. Integrates with BGG seamlessly.

One huge flaw for me. I desperately want to be able to search and organize by game designer and or artist. It would immeasurably increase the practicality

Great but needs to be complete

The app is great. I’d really like thought to be able to download files, look at forums, reviews etc. without having to go the browser. Please make the app completely self-contained.

Updates seem to make it worse

For some reason it allows plays to be logged but they don’t show on the game’s page (says “no plays”). However the plays show under “view all plays”. Search function is also not very helpful unless you type the whole game name exactly as entered.

Logging plays is tough

I wish you could edit a “play” after completing. Often, my logged plays do not show up, causing me to log again and then they’ll show up an hour later

Smooth and easy

Very easy to use. Only have had it for a couple of days and already feel like I’ve been using it tor a while. My only complaint is that I wish when I search for a game it would artfully a few choices. Other than that it’s great.

Really enjoy the app - only one issue as of now

Great app. Been using for a while. One problem I’ve noticed recently is I can no longer save games to my collection or to my wishlist. I see the link issue was corrected but this needs attention too. Thanks!

Amazing BGG app

DEVELOPER, PLEASE READ:

Love, love, love this app. However, when shopping for games my fiancé and I have to know the best player counts for games since we mostly play with 2 but do have occasional game nights (so we need the game to be recommended with 2 and up).

This app does show the “best at” number, but you can’t see anymore detail past that. So if a game is best at 3, you can’t see if it’s also recommended at 2, for example. This makes it so that we have to keep opening up the BGG website to look at those stats.

If this is a easy addition that can be made to this app, I think it would be VERY welcomed.

Easy to use

Found the app easy to set up and use. Links well with BGG. The only thing stopping a 5 star rating is a folder system for the games library. If you add the main game in your library only when you select it does by expansions show. Would keep it much cleaner. Was really impressed by the info it had in games and expansions, and the link to play throughs and reviews.

Surprisingly excellent!

Installed this just to start tracking plays but it’s an excellent way to manage my boardgame collection. AAAA+++++

Could be good but sadly is not

This app seems to have minimal effort ,If any, put into it. You can log your plays but it will mess the stats up, your number of plays up, or just show how many plays you have with no stats. I spend time logging plays only to look at them later and realize it’s either erased the data or messed it up. It counts games in your collection randomly as “expansions” which are base games. If you ever want to edit a Game you just logged because you accidentally put something in wrong it won’t let you (not that it’ll save the data properly long term anyway). This app has so much potential but is a mess. The developers clearly put no time or effort into making this app more than something that shows your collection and it doesn’t even do that well. Hopefully they will fix these issues but they seem pretty hands off so I wouldn’t hold my breath.
