Clean BGG in a nutshell

Excellent for a clean board game collection and discovery

Just Do It

Do you enjoy board games? Do your friends say you have a problem? Look no further because this app will help you keep the madness in order so you don’t have the same copy of a game for each member in your family.

Fantastic app

This is a beautiful app. It’s got just the right features from the bgg website. Enough to be useful and fast, but not bloated.

Looks fantastic but won’t sync with my BGG lists

I’m not sure why I gave my Board Games Geek info to it to allegedly sync with this app. It doesn’t. Really a shame, as this app would be incredible if it did actually sync with BGG.

Works great for tracking my collection

Does what iwould be expect and has BGG ratings and lists integrated.

Great start. Needs updated.

So far, I’m a fan. Very good layout, easy to navigate. But it’s missing vital options like “sort alphabetically” and “swipe to delete”. This is crucial when you have 100+ games. A few small tweaks could make this the perfect board game manager.

Now over a year old. I think this has been abandoned.

5 players

Why cant I search for games for 5 players? There are lots of games that go up to 5. If you can write code for 4 and 6, surely you can for 5.

Fantastic!

This app is amazing! I love having all the information I need in order to expand my board game library. A barcode scanner would make it even better. Just a suggestion

Rate my games

I wish there was a system set up where I can rate the games that I own in the app. Just so I can have a visual right there when I’m looking back through my games of what I liked the most about them and what I didn’t like about them. The collection keeps expanding, so it’s nice to have the words down of how I feel about certain games. Also if my friends look through my profile, they see how I feel about the games I own.

Privacy policy issue

The app looks very well laid out. It has a spacious and modern UI feel that is in stark contrast to many of the other BGG apps available.

But to take advantage of what limited functionality they have around My Account, I need to pass a sign up page. It was not clear whether the sign up was for this standalone app, or my BGG credentials, so I decided to check into it by reading the privacy policy that they say you agree to iby creating an account.

That link goes to a website with no privacy policy at all. Indeed it’s basically just a marketing page, with a newsletter sign up and marketing onagery as per the app store listing.

Unfortunately that created enough hesitation that I have not moved forward with using the app. 2 stars is for the hope it grows into what its early promise suggests.

Exactly what you imagine

-Easily add all games you own and wishlist any you want
-Each game has reviews, gameplay and review videos, and any related content like expansions easily viewable and accesible under the game
-Good visuals for games
-Rating for games is excellent
-The only “issue”, which isn’t a huge deal, is that the only purchase link for games is amazon. And Im personally not a huge fan of amazon for a variety of reasons. I can easily copy and paste and do my own search for where to buy.

Alllllllmost everything I want

Love the app. Looks good. Runs smooth. Simple to navigate. Amazing sorting function. BUT I want to keep track of how I rate games. I see them based off of a community rating, but after I play a game, I want to be able to rate it as well. I don’t even care if my rating is shared with anyone. I just want to be able to keep track of my favorite games over the years.

Fun Board Game Library!

Wish I could organize my collection in various ways…by rating, by type, alphabetically, currently it’s just some random order.

Great App

Excellent App for connecting to board game geek and for tracking your collection and wishlists of board games!

Really like it despite some flaws

Visually, I think this is by far the best board game app out there. The dev cut out a lot of the fluff that other apps have while making it easy to see the lists in an uncluttered way that is visually appealing. That being said, there’s a lot that seems to be missing like play data and stats, forums, reviews, things of that nature. So while it’s nice to look at, the app experience doesn’t feel very social which runs contradictory to why most people play board games in the first place. Also, there’s a bug when looking at the filtered lists by publisher and designer that after a couple seconds, the list will just switch to the top ranked listing. So as others are saying, it’s a great start and I really hope the dev keeps improving the app. I’d actually pay for this if it improves. I also suggest that a dark mode be added in the future. Better for nighttime use.
