Poor UI & lacking features
1 example, I find that the tutorials are on rails and there is zero flexibility or ability to go to needed sections. There is no chapter system or index that would allow you to review any section that you want to revisit. You are better off watching a YouTube video and being able to go to and review any needed sections. Even the tutorial on how to use the tutorial doesn’t match the UI at the end of the tutorial. That is absolutely crazy to me! App has great potential and they continue to add new games but after all there years the app should be better!

STOP BOTHERING ME
Interrupting me to fill out a survey = 1 star
Goodbye rulebooks
I swear every time I sit down and open up a rule book to learn a new game my body immediately needs to take a nap. I can have a game open and set up on the table and then I turn to the first page and it’s lights out for me. So in comes Dized. This app teaches you how to play while you’re playing the game, and without any of that pesky reading. Honestly, I’m enjoying this app so much, I’ve started to learn rules to games that have been sitting on my shelf of shame for years! At this point, I’m just learning rules to games that I don’t ever plan on playing, it’s that good! Please keep adding more games!

Fixed the crash
**Update: the app works great again since the last update. Updated my rating. Love this app honestly. Glad it’s back. —App crashes after a few slides on every single tutorial since the ios26 update. Useless until they fix it
Unusable
Idea looks good - downloaded to play tutorial for Sky Team, app crashes every few seconds, essentially unusable. Shame, idea is good and video production quality seems excellent. Maybe needs patching for latest iOS version.
Essential board game companion
This is a really great companion to both teach and assist the running of board games.
Crashing
I’ve had this app for a few years and never had an issue but now it keeps crashing after I load up a tutorial. Not even functional anymore. Please fix.
Crashes excessively
Downloaded the app and it worked for awhile but now it won’t stay on more than a minute and constantly crashes. Freaking useless!
App keeps crashing
I’ve just installed the app to try one of the board game tutorials but the app kept crashing very frequently, sometimes right after I resumed the tutorial after reopening the app again.

When it works, it’s great! Unfortunately it crashes in seconds.
Attempted to play Gloomhaven Buttons & Bugs with the application but the application could not run stable on an iPhone 13 Pro.
The application states it has interoperability for the device but the behavior I’m seeing doesn’t convince me.

Hoping for more titles!!
This made me bring my game to the table so much quicker than usual. It didn’t help with just gameplay but it also helps with setup and by player count!! I wish there were more titles available. Hopefully more people will become aware of what a great and simple tool this is to have. Loved this!
Great tutorials
I’m wishing for this app and company’s success, because it was super helpful. One of the hardest thing for me to find time to do is reading the manual before I play the game. So sometimes, the game does not get played for a full year. I have over a hundred board games. While I strive to play all of them, it is just difficult to get to all the new unopened ones in a timely manner. So Dized has made it a dream come-true for me. I finally got to open and play Gloomhaven: Buttons and Bugs, Cuthulhu: Death may die, AND I got to revisit and clarify some rules on spirit island. I haven’t played spirit island in a long time because I had forgotten the rules. I didn’t want to read the rule book again, so I left it unplayed for another 2 years. So, I’m glad I downloaded Dized. Brought back joy into my life with my board games. I’m looking forward to so many more tutorials. In fact, I’m probably going to prioritize what I play and what I buy based off the available tutorials that are available on Dized. I just love that Dized has a mix of all different board games and not just easy board games. Cuz anyone can learn the easy board games, but the harder ones are more satisfying.

Crashing on iPad
This is repeatedly crashing on my iPad, but has worked on my iPhone. Great app, but needs to work consistently on all devices.
Good idea, but ad-riddled
The idea is good even if the app feels clunky and slow, even on my iPad Pro. The worst thing is how frequent the video ads are. Really interrupts the flow. Given it was my first time trying it and it was trying to get me to pay for a subscription within minutes felt icky. Plus, once I know how to play… why would I want to follow through slow tutorials each time I play, ergo no real value in paying for a subscription. The fact it was so slow and taps often unresponsive left me reaching for a paper rule book instead.

Crashes on downloading any tutorial - widespread issue left unfixed
Title says it all. Seems like loads of tablets and phones - mine included - are unable to use the app due to a bug or series of bugs that instantly crash the app on downloading a tutorial. Considering the purpose of the app, it makes it extremely useless and it looks like the issue has existed for a while now.
If it ever gets fixed and starts working I’ll update the review, but as of today that is not the case.

A must have!!
This has made my board game learning experience much smoother!! I struggle with ADHD, but love trying new games! It gives instructions in digestible pieces with clear images for the visual learner. Plus, this app lets me explore new games in depth before purchasing.
Leider nichts auf Deutsch
Leider wird kein Tutorial auf Deutsch ausgeführt. Ebenso wie die Regeln. Wirklich schade, somit gibt es 1 Stern Abzug.
Great App for Board Gamers
This app is perfect for learning several board game rules, especially difficult ones such as War of The Rings and Elder Scrolls (a most recent addition). Highly recommended.
Seems scammy
Trying to get a better understanding of the game Wyrmspan. Had no idea I had to download an app. Fine. The instructions and all YouTube tutorials are super confusing and I’m desperate to learn how to play the $60 game. Imagine my disappointment when every single time I press English, you give me the tutorial in French not only that, but you downloaded it to my phone? I don’t think you’re interested in teaching people how to play board games you just want data. I’ve certainly learned my lesson. Before I even think about purchasing a board game, I will thoroughly inspect the Internet to make sure that they are clear instructions that I can understand so I don’t get stuck with a $60 box of cardboard, cut outs and my data all over the place. Great first impression into medium boardgames
