ScoreGeek for Android
Honestly disappointing. I expected a lot more support for games and expansions but the game that I mostly use it for (7 Wonders) has poor support. Plus, I can't install games anymore for some reason - the install button does nothing. This is not a good app and there are far better alternatives out there. Also disappointed that I paid for this. It didn't unlock any extra features or anything.
This app has not seen an update (which it desperately needs) in quite some time. I have reached out directly, via email, numerous times and have not received any response. When trying to display statistics, often times plays from history are not displayed or even loaded. I need to kill the app and reopen every time a different filter is applied. This is one of the many bugs the app has, which, like previously mentioned, needs an update!
It's had potential for a long time and with the few updates that it's had since I started using it it's barely realized any of that potential. Needs the ability to edit plays especially!!!
Love the idea of this and it generally works pretty well. There are some improvements I'd like to see going forward but not sure it's still being worked on
Won't import any games or plays at all.
This app has given my play group, a game on top of games. Love the stats. I've also been using to see which games I haven't played in a while and try them out again! Excellent support when something goes wrong!
Did not work for a long time on my android tablet but now it works great, thank you for fixing it!
This borders on being very useful and great. My app crashes every time I'm in the statistics page. Also would love the ability to edit a "played" game. There are time when I forget to add something (player, date etc) and instead of being able to simply edit the play I have to delete it completely and redo it from scratch. On the subject of deleting, that option is hidden in the settings when I believe it should be in the history. I should be able to edit/delete a play from there. Where it excels is it's ability to find ALL the games I throw at it. I've never been able to stump it once. Great score keeping features. Achievements aren't necessary but are GREATLY appreciated. As are all the cloud features. I wish I could "manage" the cloud a bit more. For example I am the one record keeping it would be nice to be able to give permissions to other people who can actually record plays or just view stats. That's a bit of a nit pick but it would be nice. App has a lot of room for improvement and I can't wait to see if it does. EDIT: Just noticed when I select a play date it picks the following day. -1 star that's a big one
I'm mixed on this one. It has really great potential but has one problem that makes it nearly unusable for me. My problem is that when you go to setup the players for a game you are able to drag them to reorder them or tap on them to go into more options (like setting up teams or player color). The problem lies in the fact that it is next to impossible on my phone to get it to register a tap instead of thinking I am dragging. I literally spend 10 minutes trying to setup teams for 4 people because it will not register my tap. I have contacted the creator but he claims it is out of his control. I have also tried messing with the touch sensitivity setting on android but it didn't appear to help. This singular problem makes the app nearly unusable for me and has pushed me to keep searching for something else. If this problem is ever fixed I think this would be a GREAT app, the best of its kind on android.
Dunno if it was something from bgg side, but I can't post plays or very get games into the dB that are not from scoregeek db
The only thing I think this app is missing is rules. Some of the more simple games or more popular games (UNO, Phase 10, Yhatzee, etc.) would be nice to have rules displayed for us. Maybe we lost the rulebook or the game is on a 52 card deck where there aren't rulebooks included. Other than that the app so far is great.
For all the geeks who like to track their board game stats and post to BGG, this is a must have app
The app is pretty good. Statistics section could be better. Date recording is always off by a day for me for some reason
The app it self is fine, however the design and functionality of the app could use some work. As a Nexus 6 user I use my back button a lot more than in app navigation. It would be nice if physical/digitizer buttons were enabled to close windows and go back in the app rather than exiting the app (which happens every time I use the app.) Design wise, it feels very outdated for our current android is styles. With updated material colors and layouts, I feel some integration of the two would do this app justice.
Good app on the whole, however certain games do not display score line when attempting to add score data which is frustrating. Steam Donkey and Sail to India to name 2. Viewing on Sony Xperia Z1.
Ideal for logging and tracking game plays. Love unlocking avatars as you rack up stats. Great job
Very helpful in our home games
This app is awesome. I got it to keep track of score in a game of Smash Up cause I couldn't find any other apps where I could easily adjust individuals scores without accidentally adjusting other players scores. I havnt stopped using it since. I even use it for scoring golf.
Love this App, so helpful to keep track of all our gaming and percentages rather than our old manual tally system! Thanks Scoregeek!!!
The app isn't currently connecting with BoardGameGeek and is currently pretty useless...
I would give higher stars but it freezes when adding/importing games from BGG. Plz update. Feel like I wasted my money.
Pretty much everything you could want in a scoring/tracking app.
If you get one score tracking app, make it this one. The depth and flexibility of the score tracking is mind boggling. Also nothing quite like waiting for the achievements to be generated at the end of game and finding out you just set a record high score.
Love it even more. Still waiting for more functions.
This is good for posting to the geek but it is buggy as hell. Doubles of certain sessions and tried to delete but still does. User interface is the worst.
I love this app! Every update just gets better and better. BGG support is awesome and now I can make groups! If you track your game plays like we do this is a must.
Loves the idea behind the app, but was hesitant to give 5 stars. Since the latest update it's been brilliant much easier to use, no more going backwards and forwards. One issue is that if I use my phone for something else it will often lose all the data. Can I request an auto save progress feature perhaps?
For the price it just doesn't do enough over the Board Game Geek app. Even if you use very specific scoring widgets, this app doesn't store that data long term so your history lack all that detail, making this app basically pointless.
For some reason when I choose the player order before starting the game log I cannot click the setting gear on the right side on the player box and choose Color, team, or faction. It just let's me move the position.

Sharing is giving a game date one day in the future. Also doesn't show player play order.
I enjoy the app but I am very disappointed that it times events but doesn't store that time. What's the point of starting a game and then registering it when you have to manually enter the time. I also hate that the photos never work and there isn't a simple button to just attach a photo from the gallery. This seems like common sense for an app that we pay for. When I try to take a photo while having a game play time going it also almost always resets and I have to start from scratch which seems to be problematic to me. I am very disappointed in an app that was fairly useful. If this was free then I would feel a bit more willing to give some leniency but having paid for it and it not functioning for Lollipop on android is unacceptable. I can't get to the cloud because it keeps telling me to connect to the internet when I have a very solid internet connection. I think this may be dead because the developer has been very unresponsive it seems. Edit: Review raised thanks to response from author and correction of some problems. If problems are fixed in next patch I will edit again.
I use this app almost religiously to score games and keep a history. The app automatically generates statistics that are fun to revisit after many plays of a game. I especially like how it connects to BoardGameGeek and uploads your plays to that site. Another great feature is the cloud accounts where multiple users can all share the same data via one. group account. Great for board game groups. I like that the developer continues to update with very good improvements.
great app. Lots of options. lots of games and flexibility. Some tweeks could improvevthis like reducing tge number of pages to score gsmes, functionality for co op games.
It won't calculate my score to stats it is a complete waste of money and they also put my profile pic on google images, why would I want them to do that!
Love this app, but on my nexus 7 will not show the scores correctly, they appear blank. Other than that great app
I like this app a lot! It allows to add as many games as you want. With some input you can fully customize it's behaviour. It is quite slow on my phone (HTC One M7) but it doesn't bother me too much. Syncs plays with BGG nicely. App has build-in timer, buzzer and randomiser (for players order). I haven't yet tried stats a lot, but I'm hoping it's as good as the rest of the app. Oh, and you get some achievements as well for getting most points, etc. Only 4/5 for the responsiveness (or rather it's lack) of the app.

This app is pretty much the Swiss army knife of board game scoring tools. Save for some shortcomings in specific circumstances, it's excellent for pretty much everyone who takes board game scoring seriously. Some suggestions: Please add a default "guest" player that you can add any number of to a given game, in case you have people you know you will never play with again - or won't play with enough to warrant giving them their own information. Also, please incorporate some other cloud storage solution (namely dropbox) for syncing and backup! I'd rather consolidate my cloud backups as much as possible - I don't feel like I have enough control on rebrandsoftware.
