Best Board Game Collection App!

I have been looking for an app similar to BG Stats, but with a much cleaner interface and more collection management tools. This app hit the spot! And as an added bonus, the developer is very responsive and great to talk with, and even implemented a couple feature ideas I had!

A+ app and developer.

Clean and useful

This app has everything I need it to do and is very clean about it. It visualizes all my games. I can easily create custom lists of my games (I have games in multiple locations, I can separate my wife’s games out, etc).

I love the randomizer feature. I got the app just to catalog and track my games, I didn’t know I needed the randomizer feature. Because ultimately I’m going to use this to decide what to play and what is better than say for example, ‘today I have 6 people and 90 mins find me a game to put on the table’.

The developer is very responsive and friendly! A+

Thank you so much for your kind review! Hope you enjoy the new feature that's in there thanks to you :) If you're ever missing anything in the app that would make it even better, you know where to find me!

Visual Organization Beauty

I’ve been searching for something to help me visualize my collection of board games for easy reference when not at home. I found this app, and it literally does everything I need it to. It feels so simple and clean, with such easy tools for organizing. Plus, adding the ability to sort by play time and player count was already nice- BUT ADDING A RANDOM SELECTION BUTTON? Oh that is perfect. Wonderful app!

Plain and Simple!

Started board gaming frequently and wanted to track my plays. I scrolled through the App Store and this one caught my attention. I love how simple this app is yet it has all the features I could really ask for. My collection, wishlist (since I’ve forgotten a few games I’ve wanted, shouldn’t now!), plays and the statistics! The only thing I wish was implemented would be a “solo” slider when adding a play. I do solo plays and would like for it to be added into its own statistic, overall I’m very pleased with this app and would recommend!

Hey! Thanks for your review. I will definitely look into how I can make the stats more interesting for things such as solo plays.

The Perfect Board Game App

Board games are one of my main hobbies. I enjoy tracking my collection. I also care about logging my games, with stats like tracking player win-rates being a bonus.

This app gives me those things while simultaneously placing it in Apple’s clean UI. It also easily links games in my collection to the games in Board Game Geek, which is really the gold standard for board game info. It’s perfect for me, so I give it a 5.

This app does not offer every bell and whistle like some other apps do. For some people, this would be a downside, but I wonder whether adding more to this app would bog it down and not make it as simple and enjoyable to use.
