### 1/5 — Server issues

*2026-04-04*

The required first step after downloading the app is to create a user account. This always fails. I've tried multiple times but it never works.

### 3/5 — Free version of BG Stats

*2026-01-01, version 2.27*

It seems like a free worse version of BG stats. I highly recommend you get that app instead, they’re the original

### 5/5 — The Best!!

*2025-12-17*

I love this app! It’s super easy to use and I love keeping track of my plays!

### 5/5 — Love this app

*2025-11-14, version 2.26*

The only missing thing in this app, is scoring sheets for the game, that would be the ultimate upgrade for this really well designed app !

### 5/5 — Great app for logging plays

*2025-11-04*

This is a great app for logging my board game sessions, it connects to Board Game Geek too. The interface is nice and it has lots of features i enjoy. I totally recommend it!

### 1/5 — gestion de profil nulle

*2025-10-06, version 2.21*

mon compte a dû être désactivé après quelques temps. J’ai tenté de réinitialiser le mot de passe sans succès sur l’application iPad et iPhone, je suis alorsaller sur le site Web pour réactiver le compte, et j’ai perdu toute ma bibliothèque. 

Je suis passé sur une appli concurrente pour refaire et finir ma collection

### 5/5 — La mejor

*2025-09-04, version 2.20*

Un gran esfuerzo y trabajo del autor, una gran suerte tener esta app. Es de agradecer que un hobby y una pasión se comparta de esta manera con todos. Imprescindible para todos los que nos gusta este mundillo de los juegos de mesa.

### 5/5 — General game statistics

*2025-07-26, version 2.12*

Such a question. Where is the table for each game with all the points scored by the players, like a conditional top for the game?

### 5/5 — Love it!

*2025-07-19*

Fantastic app. So easy to use, very customizable, and free! Love using this and I’m glad it’s connected to BGG again!

### 5/5 — A clean easy way to organize your collection

*2025-07-18*

What a simple and streamlined app. No complications.  Very user friendly. And no draconian overlords dangling the carrot over you. This is THE app to track collections plays and more. A must download for any gamer or fan of the hobby
