### 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

### 2/5 — Обновление

*2025-07-04, version 2.7*

После обновления пропала возможность нормально добавлять сыгранные игры которых нет в коллекции. Из-за этого к сожалению пропала надобность в приложении. Если вернется, то обязательно буду пользоваться, как и раньше, а пока delete

### 5/5 — Прекрасное приложение с грустной судьбой

*2025-06-29, version 2.7*

Очень редко пишу отзывы, но для этого приложения решил сделать исключение. Автор проделал огромную работу над своим приложением, им очень «было» удобно пользоваться. 2,5 года был активным пользователем, вносил каждую партию, очень доволен. После недавнего обновления приложение отключили от BGG, очень жаль, что автор который потратил столько сил на развитие своего детища сталкивается, с глупой корпоративной политикой. Будем продолжать пользоваться приложением дальше, но уже не так активно как раньше(. Автор, если ты это читаешь, ты большой молодец, спасибо тебе и творческих успехов!

### 5/5 — Imprescindible

*2025-06-29, version 2.7*

Muy intuitiva, completa y además gratis! Una pena que le corten la opción de sincronizar con bgg.

### 5/5 — Grest app, keep up for upcoming changes

*2025-06-28, version 2.5*

The author is actively working on future improvements after BGG decided not to integrate this app and others for commercial reasons. We hope the author’s new approach will ensure this app secures the recognition it truly deserves. Excellent work!

### 5/5 — La mejor

*2025-06-25, version 1.333*

Es la mejor aplicación para juegos de mesa. Tanto por sus funcionalidades como por su integración visual

### 3/5 — Problema

*2025-05-24, version 1.332*

Con l’ultimo aggiornamento non si riesce più ad accedere alla scheda dei giochi

### 4/5 — Un’ottima app per tenere traccia di giochi e partite

*2025-05-23, version 1.332*

Ottima app per quello che deve fare, i giochi si trovano con facilità e la schematizzazione dei menù è davvero ben fatta. Uniche piccole pecche che mi vengono da dire sono l’impossibilità di non poter mettere i nomi alle squadre quando si gioca a giochi di squadra, l’assenza di un grafico a parte per le partite in solitario e una personalizzazione generale che potrebbe essere approfondita un po’di più. Per il resto ottima App, consigliata😄

### 5/5 — Reliable

*2025-05-20*

Works great, I used to use another app that crashed all the time and was so frustrating. This app has been working very smoothly for me.

### 3/5 — Collection

*2025-05-18, version 1.326*

There is no option to create a custom collection, also you cannot looking for another players registered in bgg and bind in the games played with them, all the other things are ok

### 5/5 — Fantástica

*2025-03-31, version 1.326*

A mellor app para os teus xogos. Noraboa ós creadores!

### 5/5 — Esencial

*2025-03-03, version 1.321*

Imprescindible si eres un jugón.

### 4/5 — Not bad not perfect.

*2024-09-20, version 1.278*

The usage is a bit more complex than it should be. It would be a good improvement to be able to add the faction, house details so players can see the winning statistics per faction.

### 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.

### 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

### 1/5 — Can not search Games anymore

*2025-07-16, version 2.7*

It is not possible to search new board games and add them to my list without an account in board game geek

### 1/5 — No Longer Useful

*2025-07-15*

Loved this app for tracking my games up until the latest changes. I’ll be looking for other options instead of continuing to use this. It’s no longer user-friendly, and if I have to enter my data manually, I’d rather use a different format.

### 1/5 — User name and password?

*2025-01-23, version 1.309*

We have to sign in with our user name and password from bgg. Next : do you want my credit card number and pin ?? All other apps link to bgg only use user name. Not for me.

### 1/5 — Sync issue

*2024-12-24*

Won’t sync 444 games from BGG. Deleted the app, reinstalled and synced several times.

### 1/5 — Constant sync issues

*2024-10-06, version 1.282*

Unusable until the app will correctly sync with BGG

### 1/5 — Don’t update: Adverts in new version

*2024-08-27, version 1.269*

Ich bin so traurig, diese App war so sauber und einfach... bitte eine Möglichkeit hinzufügen, die Werbung per In-App-Kauf zu entfernen :-/
———————————
I‘am so sad, this app was so clean and easy… please add a possibility to remove the ads via in app purchase :-/

### 1/5 — Broken

*2024-08-15*

Can’t log in due to an error message about “too many calls being made to the BGG website”… mot likely the app is broken and needs an update.

### 1/5 — Sign in issue

*2024-08-13, version 1.268*

Wont let me sign into my bgg acount even though details are correct

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!

### 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

### 5/5 — Vuelve la BGG!!

*2025-07-18, version 2.12*

Vuelve la mejor app de juegos de mesa, ahora que ha vuelto la sincronización con BGG. Probé varias cuando no se podía sincronizar con BGG y ninguna me convenció. Seguía usando BG Catálogo aunque no sincronizase.

### 5/5 — Way beater than the Bg app

*2025-07-11*

This app was so much better than the My BGG app.  Easy to add play update ownership etc.

### 5/5 — L’qppli pour fan ludique indispensable

*2025-07-10, version 2.7*

Chouette application de ludothèque et de gestion des parties 
Permet de voir un aperçu , ou de façon détaillé des parties jouées pendant tout une période 
Je recommande
