### 5/5 — Amazing App

*2025-11-28, version 1.15.2*

I got this app because my gaming group had a hard time remembering who won last. I found this and it has made us more honest with who won and lost. It is also nice to see how many plays a games gets! Thank you for developing such an amazing app!!

### 5/5 — Absolutely amazing!

*2025-07-18, version 1.15.1*

Best collection app I’ve ever seen!

### 4/5 — Great little app for board gamers

*2024-11-29, version 1.15.1*

As the title reads, this is great for gamers.  App tracks games played with friends, the number of wins and losses for each player in any particular game. It can track coop and competitive games. 

One little issue makes it not perfect though. It hasn’t been updating my ever growing roster of games recently when I try to update it through the settings menu.

### 1/5 — Doesn’t work

*2024-10-12, version 1.15.1*

Tried a year or two, couldn’t download my info from BGG. Tried again today, same thing.

### 3/5 — Geektastic

*2023-08-10, version 1.11.4*

I love the way this app looks and I use it all the time. However there are a couple of things I wish it would do:  I wish that I could add expansions together with the original game when I log the game. Also I wish it would upload to board game geek. And it would be fun to be able to share game stats.

### 4/5 — Lots of potential

*2023-07-11, version 1.11.2*

A few features and changes were made recently that improve user interaction. Greatly appreciated, thank you! The « players » section should be improved next. It seems like there is the potential to change the avatar or at least the colour of the cute little monster, bit this can’t be done right now. Also, it would be great if when taping on the player you could also see all the games played by that player. Next, it would be really nice to be able to get some simple stats with  the info entered in the play log. Keep up the good work developping!

### 3/5 — Needs better import features

*2023-05-04, version 1.10.1*

I have already been using bgstats app to track my games which syncs with BGG. However this app has no way to import my plays from either location. It will be impossible for me to start using this app without any import feature available.

App looks great though!

### 5/5 — Must have

*2023-02-25, version 1.8.1*

Love logging every game!

### 4/5 — The best board game app, but…

*2023-01-26, version 1.8.1*

Apparently the developer, as well as other reviewers, have mentioned how they can’t sync to board game geek due to limitations, however there are other apps that do this without a glitch. BGG Catalog, for example, not only syncs your games, but your plays as well! 

This is a well designed app; its aesthetic, design consistency, it’s a beautiful app, but I’m not sure why the sync is an issue?

Hopefully he can figure out!

### 4/5 — Great app! Need friends connect to be perfect

*2023-01-18*

Love the app, visually pleasing and simple to use. Let me connect to my fiends to see their games and would be perfect

**Developer response:** Hi Joeb151,
