BoardGameGeek (Unofficial) for Android
Needs lots of work. The app has difficulty syncing with the online BGG database. Its a puzzle to try and figure out (which by the way I stillncant do) how to see your wishlist. No images, no forums, limited search functionality. Its gotten a little better but the road is wide open for progress.
Search function for forums non existent, auto complete takes you to game page, which also does not have forum link for the game. Sync is nice, navigation is atrocious. App needs serious work for functionality. I was wondering why I uninstalled it before, maybe this review will remind me next time
Still beats the mobile website for some things - - - logging plays, managing the collection, and reading reviews are faster with this app.
I was really happy with the app until the latest version. Now it won't let me easily log plays and I am now deleting the app and I'm going to pay for a different app. I'm really disappointed that they had actually gotten this app to a decent point and then turned around and put it back in the garbage.
Not bad - but should I be able to sync wish lists? I have enabled the option but I can never switch away from the "Own" list.
I try to rate a game and it keeps marking the game as unrated. Try to modify a previously rated game and both fail to save the update and lose the previous rating as well.
Convoluted, unintuitive menu system. Cannot view any list but Own in Collection
It rarely syncs, so instead of being useful it has created more work for me transferring everything manually.
Doesn't update games. All games I bought this year have a ? or another game's picture. I can't tell what's in my challenge...
Good. It would be great if when you log a play with a buddy in your list it updates their play list also rather than everyone having to put it in??
The best just got better.
syncronizing doesn't work
Am I the only one who can add only 5 games to the collection? Is this intended?
I really love this app and use it all the time.
Great.
This is exactly what you expect from a Board Game Geek app, but it's missing a few things. 1. I would like to be able to Mark things as previously owned and to see them in their own list as I can on the website. 2. Game images from the website. It is extremely helpful to see the actual game when looking up whether you'll be interested or not. 3. Seriously guys, add a sleeves field for games on both website and app! Every single game has a forum thread discussing which sizes and quantities of sleeves it takes, so it is clearly something that comes up all the time! Right now there is no easy way to look up a non-Fantasy Flight game for which sleeves you need and how many!
The app is okay but gets stuck loading screens a lot. When it happens you gotta force close the app and try again. Otherwise it's decent though missing many things you can do just going to the website.
The app is buggy, every time I scroll through my collection, I get popped to the top of the list numerous times. Sometimes it refuses to properly scroll at all. Now it also crashes every single time I open a game from the catalog...
Great app. Thank you for making it. Only thing is I can't figure out how to view the "files" section of specific games. If I want to view, say, the custom playmats or dividers people make for a game.
I really want to like this app but between having to log in every time I open it and the lack off an auto-sync, its faster and easier to open a browser and go to BGG itself,rendering this app utterly pointless. Shame ????
I mostly only use this app to log plays. Sometimes my collection just disappears for no reason. Sometimes the app has trouble loading game details. Better than nothing, but still pretty buggy.
Useful for looking up a game and reading reviews by usernames that start with "a", looking at your collection, logging plays, and rating games. Not official which explains the limited features and slow speed.
This app has so much potential but updates are few and far between not to mention that it is plagued with sync issues. I would actually love to see ads in this app in order to support the creators so that more work can be put into it, that or it becoming the official BGG app and getting support from the site.
Erased all play data after last update and would not resync old data. Lost all plays for the last year and cannot get them back. Tracking plays has become useless and i wont be using this app again. Oh well.
This app is pretty good, the only issue I have is how long it takes to sync and I'm not just talking about collections because I can wait for that obviously I know what games I own. I'm mainly speaking of when you are looking at different games or games that aren't already in your collection, it seems like they might not even ever load.
Hi there. Love the app, but unfortunately i have run into a snag where i have been logged out and when I try to log in, I get a message along the lines of "couldn't sign in... There can only be one" (paraphrasing). Was wondering if this was a bug or if I've done something wrong
Pretty easy to use but even though it says I should be able to see my wishlist, it does not show up. Wish there was some better integration with BGG itself so I would not have to go to the browser link for more game data.
Love the app. Uninstalling and reinstalling worked to fix the crash problems I was having. Thanks!
Love this app, my only issue is when viewing my list I don't seem to be able to view anything other than my collection. I can only see games I have purchased and not games I've pre-ordered or want to buy. I select the option to change it but it doesn't actually change.
Not very intuitive to use the app, it would be nice to show boardgames that I have search. Thanks! Keep up the good work.
Useful app to quickly look up games and manage collection. But it doesn't seem to sync with the website. When I set my personal list to show all games I own as well as want to play it does not show all the games I have selected on the website. Also, when I change a rating, sometimes it just hops back to previous rating or it removes the rating entirely. Good app nonetheless, but I think it needs some patching.
Sucks. Can't access my messages, which was the only reason I wanted it. Would love a way to get notifications when I have a new message or when someone comments on one of my subscription items. This app can't do that, so what is it good for?
Won't connect to the Internet after the latest update. Maybe something is down? The BGG site works perfectly in my browser. Edited: Works fine now! Love the app!
Is ok, as a lot of space for improvement. I wish to disable notifications but I don't know where
Way too many notifications. A day or two after logging anything or adding games you get a constant string of notifications one after the other. One "synced a bunch of stuff" notification would have sufficed. Other than that, it's okay.
Unofficial but excellent and still adding features!
It's a great app to use when you're out buying a new game and you want to see how it sits in the world rankings, but it suffers from the same problem as the website: It's just not user friendly enough. Also, it's taken the developer literally years to finally create the ability to add games to your collection through the app! Bloody ridiculous; but at least the option is there, now.
Does exactly what it needs to do. Great for logging plays and viewing past plays and data.
Works great. Awesome support also.

This app has nothing. Only a list of your own games. No pics, comments doesn't work, I use break and it change it in HTML ()... Can't delete plays... Very Bad.. many bugs. Not useful for me... I use the website.
