### 4/5 — Best BGG Format

*2025-11-30, version 1.2.8*

After trying every BGG app, this is the best one for managing your games, quick access to BGG data, and finding games.  The tile layout is very satisfying and intuitive.  The app can be buggy at times, randomly shutting down, but I’ll still take it over other apps.  So happy to see the BGG connection restored.

### 5/5 — Ne réponds plus…

*2025-11-15, version 1.2.7*

Super application mais la il ne réponds plus depuis deux semaines…

### 5/5 — Il y a un problème!

*2025-11-10, version 1.2.7*

Mon BGG ne répond pas!

### 1/5 — No funciona

*2025-11-05, version 1.2.7*

Después de pagar la app, lleva días diciendo que no funciona el servidor…

### 1/5 — Ha dejado de sincronizarse

*2025-11-03, version 1.2.7*

Entras a la app y pone “BGG error de servicio, los datos del usuario no se han actualizado”.
Pues nada, app muerta

### 3/5 — Videos don’t work

*2025-10-29, version 1.2.7*

Good app. But It is not possible to play videos in the app. It’s  just not working (iPhone 7). If they fix the problem, I’ll pay for it to get rid of the annoying ads. Edit: sadly now it doesn’t connect to BGG anymore…

### 2/5 — UX/UI needs improving

*2025-10-28, version 1.2.7*

Trying to leave reviews is such a pain. What you write disappears sometimes. You there a game and you can’t click anywhere else. It’s clunky and annoying at times. 

So often it says error can’t find server. 

On iPhone

### 1/5 — De pago y…

*2025-09-25, version 1.2.7*

3 años sin actualizar. En fin la app bien, pero los cuelgues y los cierres y los errores de conexión… que digo yo, hacerla de pago y no actualizarla en 3 años… en fin.

### 5/5 — Muy buena

*2025-07-25, version 1.2.7*

La verdad es que no puedo estar más contento con ella

### 3/5 — Muchos cuelgues

*2025-01-27, version 1.2.7*

Va fatal porque en muchas opciones se cuelga cuando intentas usarlas, directamente se sale de la app
