Board Game Bible FAQ

Is Board Game Bible legit?
🤔 The Board Game Bible app's quality is mixed. Some users are satisfied, while others report issues. Consider reading individual reviews for more context.
I love this app, I use whenever I play with or think about boardgames. So thank you for developing it. But let me highlight the features that I miss.
Me as user, I would like to see all my previous plays in chronological order in the “Favorites/View All Plays” page so that I can see them altogether and check what games I played on certain days or periods.
Me as user, I want to sort my owned games list (“Favorites/Games I Own” page) based on how many times I played, or chronological order of my games, or my rating about the games so that I can get more insight about the statistics of my games.
Me as user, I want to check data in more details at the “Settings/Collection Stats” page by tapping on any part of the dashboard so that I can navigate from statistics to games more easily (eg. I can see Top Artist as Antoine Bauza, but I neither can tap on it, nor navigate myself to his games owned by me).
Logging plays is tough
I wish you could edit a “play” after completing. Often, my logged plays do not show up, causing me to log again and then they’ll show up an hour later
Smooth and easy
Very easy to use. Only have had it for a couple of days and already feel like I’ve been using it tor a while. My only complaint is that I wish when I search for a game it would artfully a few choices. Other than that it’s great.
Really enjoy the app - only one issue as of now
Great app. Been using for a while. One problem I’ve noticed recently is I can no longer save games to my collection or to my wishlist. I see the link issue was corrected but this needs attention too. Thanks!
Amazing BGG app
DEVELOPER, PLEASE READ:
Love, love, love this app. However, when shopping for games my fiancé and I have to know the best player counts for games since we mostly play with 2 but do have occasional game nights (so we need the game to be recommended with 2 and up).
This app does show the “best at” number, but you can’t see anymore detail past that. So if a game is best at 3, you can’t see if it’s also recommended at 2, for example. This makes it so that we have to keep opening up the BGG website to look at those stats.
If this is a easy addition that can be made to this app, I think it would be VERY welcomed.
Could be good but sadly is not
This app seems to have minimal effort ,If any, put into it. You can log your plays but it will mess the stats up, your number of plays up, or just show how many plays you have with no stats. I spend time logging plays only to look at them later and realize it’s either erased the data or messed it up. It counts games in your collection randomly as “expansions” which are base games. If you ever want to edit a Game you just logged because you accidentally put something in wrong it won’t let you (not that it’ll save the data properly long term anyway). This app has so much potential but is a mess. The developers clearly put no time or effort into making this app more than something that shows your collection and it doesn’t even do that well. Hopefully they will fix these issues but they seem pretty hands off so I wouldn’t hold my breath.
Love the App, Can some features be added?
I have been using this app for over 3 years now and it is by far the best for tracking your collections with BGG. I use it daily to update and track my purchases and inventory. It is really helpful for inventory concerns if you are the type of person that collects not only the large packaged titles that are available to the masses but also all the promos and small things that make keeping things tidy easier and to prevent buying something you already own. Over the course of me using this app I have come to want a couple other features. One would be the ability to pull the data for board game accessories that are not considered games or expansions. The other would be a cloud sync options that I can sync between my devices so I have access to my custom lists I have created within the app. Also if you are an rpg player it would be cool if you took this same concept and applied it to the RPG Geek side so people could track plays, books, accessories etc just like in board game bible. I absolutely love this app and will continue to use it for all my Board game database tracking needs. Keep up the hard work. Thank you for you skills and passion to give this app life.
Doesn’t accept special characters
Great app to browse games and links to things available in bbg. Unfortunately, I’m unable to log in because I need special characters for my password and the app doesn’t accept most of them.
Not in sync with BGG
The interface is great but unfortunately none of the stats and top rankings are up to date. You need to refresh every game’s page to see the latest scores/reviews.
Not super polished, but does the job usually
For example, it will consistently say I have no plays of a game, even though I do. You also can't edit plays if you mess up (which I've done a lot). It's pretty barebones, but works fine for the most part.
