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.

Just the thing!

I don’t want or need an app for everything under the sun. I was looking for a way to track my board game inventory and that’s what led me here (that plus a very positive experience with the AdGuard Home app published under the same Developer profile).

Since then the developer has added new features without causing app bloat! The 4⭐️ app review’s randomizer feature request has already been added. I love that the app tracks plays and players conjunctively, and the photo option when recording a game is a great way for my partner and I to remember the sessions we’ve played.

Thank you for the app! It’s one I don’t use every week but it’s never been deleted from my phone 🙂

Oh, and the developer is super responsive. The couple times I’ve reached out with a bug report or feature request they’re quick to fix / consider implementing.

Everything I was looking for in a board game management app and nothing superfluous.

Thank you so much for your review! It really puts a smile on my face ☺️

A good personal catalog

Literally just your list of board games and plays with some good info on other games. Was hoping for some sort of randomizer or suggestion tool that would help decide what to play next or make it easier to decide against games given a number of players but still a fine app

Edit: Just wanted to check in and say that your idea is now implemented in the app! If you want, go check it out and I’d love to hear what you think about it. ——- Thank you for your review! I really like your idea of adding something to help you decide what to play, so I’ll see what I can do to implement this 😊
