### 1/5 — App crashes

*2022-04-14, version 1.7.2*

The app crashes immediately any and every time I select the settings tab.  As a result, I am unable to access the settings.  Also, when I uninstall and reinstall the app, I am still logged in—somehow the app keeps the login info, somewhere, even after the app and app data are deleted.  As a result, I am unable to sign out as I am unable to access the settings tab without the app crashing.

### 3/5 — Great app but has a problem

*2022-02-23, version 1.7.2*

The app is great not gonna lie but has a problem when making a game. It only lets you make a game from what it has available and if you do try and have a custom name with your custom elements, it gets renamed to Game Name.

### 4/5 — Very nice app great customer service

*2020-02-22, version 1.4.0*

I really like this app. I had one issue with the app hanging when I started a game. I used the feedback form & developer got back to me next day with a solve! I love all the items you can track including adding more of your own. The one thing that is missing is historic stats, which should include the various items you can track. I would want to see all my scores, along with my highest score, but also max health I ended with, max level, max hit points, etc. 

Overall, great app!

### 3/5 — Cool tool

*2019-06-12, version 1.3.1*

Like the flexibility to track lots of things. Don’t love how hard it is to edit. Can you make it so we can just up/down score right on main screen rather than having to navigate a tiny window each time. Considering how often numbers are going to be adjusted in a game a swipe/tap/ etc should change it. Example:goodgame app

**Developer response:** Thank you for using our app, this has already been added to version 1.4.0, please let us know if you have any question.

### 5/5 — Love it, very useful!

*2019-05-05, version 1.3.1*

Love the tools which solved many hiccups. Looking forward to see more from this app. Keep up the great work.

### 5/5 — Nice random finger chooser tool

*2019-01-22, version 1.2.1*

Overall not bad. The random finger chooser tool is pretty neat. 

Would like to see multiple player scores on the same page but that is minor.

### 1/5 — Really nice looking! But keeps crashing!

*2019-01-14, version 1.2.1*

Keeps crashing 2-3 minutes after using it. So can’t use it.

**Developer response:** Hi, sorry about your experience, do you mind to provide all the steps to reproduce the crash? I can see that you are currently on the latest version, if you can give me more detailed info, we will be able to fix the crush in the next release.

### 5/5 — This might be the only app for all my board games

*2018-12-19, version 1.2.0*

I downloaded initially to give a shot for 7wonders but the flexibility provided by this app allows me to use for bunch of other ones. It took me a while to learn how to configure a game but this is just one time only per game. 

Not enough icons to choose and I can’t share my score. 

Hopefully this app can keep growing. But it is great for someone like me who is not good at managing too many apps.
