BoardGameGeek App Reviews

It doesnt matter what I want to do, if I do anything, anything at all, the app crashes. Such a bummer, because I love the website.

Anytime you do attempt to do something good with this app it crashes.

Pull this app off please! Shame on the fact that BGG users are a huge portion of developers and this crap gets put out.

I liked using this a few years ago when I was playing games more often. I like to record my plays. I cant do that anymore. It doesnt recognize my profile and crashes often. I like the web site, but the app isnt worth keeping until its fixed.

This was never a five star app, but it seems totally forgotten in a very poor state at this point.

About to uninstall. Spend most of my user time looking at parsing and data-processing errors than actually using the app. Piece ocrap....

Used the predecessor for a while ( Michael Henson 2012) which doesnt seem to be able to update my contend such as add new games. So I found this version is now the app. Out of the box this one failed as well. It even fails to fetch my game collection reliably. Try one fail. Try two gets some I my games then failed. Try three, some more games in the collection downloaded. Then another fail. Im thinking the BGG website must have a highly unreliable web API which is frustrating. The full BGG website is too big and fiddly to use on a phone and there is no mobile site. Unfortunately the apps dont work interfacing with the website database online. A share. Really BGG, can you get with the program?

But it only works about 25% of the time. Mostly cant connect errors. This could be so good, but as is it is an exercise in frustration.

One of my most used apps, was nearly unusable before the update due to crashes. Thanks so much!

This app is currently unusable.

App definitely helps overall navigation over using the website on Safari. Its missing two sections: images and videos - videos being most critical as I enjoy video reviews!

Doesnt work at all on iPad and ios8

Update fixes iPad display but images uploaded with user reviews are missing, they only show up as shadow boxes. Update did not fix this nice feature. Looking forward to this fix

Despite the clunky interface, it works pretty well. what has never worked for me is the ability to login. Cant save anything or even see my plays or games.

Does nothing useful and flat out doesnt work. More helpful to just visit the site.

Just fine for showing collections or looking up a game. When recording a play, the system gives no indication that you were successful in doing that. It would be nice if there was a confirmation/affirmation that you successfully recorded a play. Also, I could not see how to delete a recorded play.

Interface is clunky and difficult to use. App frequently fails to connect. But it is still better than using the web site directly for common tasks.

I can no longer modify my collection. Other than that, I have no complaints.

Loved the app. But I used it almost entirely to manage my collection. That stopped functioning weeks ago (maybe months now). Havent seen any movement on the code toward a repair (it was probably a change at BGG but dev definitely isnt keeping up with it). Its basic dead in the water for me until fixed. If you want to just search games. That still works... For now. Ugh. Frustrated.

It doesnt actually register game plays, and even though Im successfully linked to my BGG account, it claims something is wrong and I cant edit my collection via the app.
