Good app!

I love the app! I immediately paid to support it, and because nobody likes ads, right? The ability to see friends’ collections is awesome and I love seeing the top 100 change. 2 features that would get me to update my review from 4 to 5 stars: 1. The ability to browse more then the top 100 in that list format without having to search for a particular title. 2. The bigger of the two;The ability to check your geek mail. That should be a no brained feature. It’s frustrating having to go to web browser to check geek mail. And not necessary, but a suggestion, would be the ability to see your personal profile w/badges and your personal top/hot 10’s on the profile page. I think these updates would turn a good app into a great app. Thanks!

Update 2: After using the app a little more, it started displaying the same login error it used to. So back down to my original rating, minus a star for the ad issue. Deleting the app for good. What’s the point of having it if it won’t work or intermittently won’t let me use it? Update: So after deleting this app, then reinstalling, it finally let me connect to BGG. It’s still buggy though. And now the dev has allowed full screen ads on the app. I really don’t mind ads so much. Actually, I think it’s kind of a good thing because that means the dev is getting money and will hopefully continue to improve the app to draw traffic and thus make more money. But there are a couple ads that come up that force me to close the app entirely because the X to close the ad is up behind the time on my screen, meaning I can’t close it to continue what I was doing. This really makes me not want to use the app at all anymore because I could be in the middle of looking at some games and that ad will come up, completely interrupting my flow. Not cool at all. Original: This app used to be at least serviceable, if a little buggy, but now it won’t even let me sync with BGG. I can log into the site fine, so it’s not on their end. Tried to tap the button in the app to email the developer directly (as was suggested in another review), but the button does nothing. The developer’s website is essentially blank. So…I guess I’ll just go elsewhere for my BGG app needs?

I really like this app. It would be great if you could somehow add a way to browse games using a filter. Possible categories could be price low to high, price high to low, genre, theme, minimum required players, games with additional expansions, game company, high in strategy, high in luck, games with figurines, games that utilize companion apps, etc. Another addition that would be great to see could be a video section that is strictly for “how to play” videos and “short review” videos. Thanks for creating this app it’s great.

I like this app because it’s super nice to just whip out my phone at the end of a game to log a play or search ratings for a game I’m interested in. However, the adds are annoyingly frequent and always pop up at the most inconvenient times. Another aspect I find pesky is that when I’m logging scores, the keyboard covers up the last players details, so I have to keep checking myself to know I’m entering the right thing in the right place. Overall, it’s a good app, just some kinks that should be untangled.It can also get finicky with the server connection and not load game content, but somehow those ads are still able to magically load.
