I am a huge fan of boardgames, with a substantial collection, and firstly, BGG is the best source of information, ratings, and all sorts of community information and resources. A truly special repository of board game stuff. The app allows me to access the information more easily on my phone and I have NOT had any issues. They are continuously updating the features, and so far, it has been great.

Terrible.

Title ^ nothing appears besides the headers and stuff. ):

Without the Quickbar in the App, I will probably use the browser.

This company is simply not worth your money.

Update: As I’ve used this app more, I’ve noticed more glaring issues and omissions. One instance is being able to do a search in GeekLists. You can only see automated “Hot” GeekLists. This feels like a massive oversight. Other lists are also difficult to find, such as the top games that have a specific mechanic or theme. Another issue is that the main page feels very cluttered and doesn’t display what I would classify as the most relevant information near the top, such as news. I really couldn’t care less about the Hotness list because it’s not that dynamic, whereas the news should be posting things several times a day. On that note, you really have to dig for BGG’s news as it’s buried in a submenu. I’d love to one day see a sort of feed like what I see on IGN’s app (I know, different industry, different standards, but you get my drift). The automated lists could have their own tab, GeekLists theirs. All this said, there’s so much info in one place, I’d rate the app a 4.5. Unfortunately, in board game terms, I have to round down. Btw, those negative reviews talking about free speech are obviously just mad that they got kicked off for hate speech. I’m glad that BGG doesn’t tolerate such behavior as that stifles discussion and feelings of inclusion. Board games are for everyone, not just the privileged who don’t normally pay consequences for what they say. Original: Been into board games for a year or so and it always struck me as odd that BGG didn’t have their own app. So many other third party apps are in the store to make up for that, but all of them are glitchy or don’t have many features. At last, BGG has released their own app, and the more I play with it, the more I love it. From seamlessly adding games to collections to contributing on forums to going through the news to looking at Kickstarter games…it’s like they took every single detail on the admittedly old-school site and made it look great on modern phones. The ads that people are complaining about are easily ignored. Some people just want to nitpick when the good clearly outweighs the bad. I have no complaints. Keep up the great work, BGG!

The app has been getting better and better over time - great job getting it into a great place. but…. ***Please make the my collection view more useful*** What I really want to do it look at my collection and filter it based on the criteria needed to choose a game for a group of friends coming over. Number of players, difficulty, length of time, etc. This has got to be a very common use case for many of your site’s users. The old Boardgame bible app had this from an imported view of my bgg collection, and I used it all the time. I could care less if I have parts or want parts, and many other current filters in place right now, for example.

A great app for the boardgame hobby and the site is worth supporting.

You can’t get more woke than these guys. If you’re not strong left-leaning, then you’re not welcome. Free speech is dead at BGG, headed by lead authoritarian Matthew Octavian.

BGG operates with near monopoly power in the storage and dissemination of board game information. That said, the management of this company routinely violates its on terms of service. Put another way they do not follow the golden rule: do onto others as you would have them do unto yourself. Boardgame geek heavily suppresses speech even speech that is questioning and courteous. Meanwhile, inflammatory and even racist speech from a leftist perspectives runs rampant on his website. It is not uncommon that posts including "acceptable" forms of racism, religious bigotry, sexism directed against men, and ageism are left up. the head moderator, Matthew Octavian, traffics in anti-white racism. Boardgame geek will punish you even for speech posted on other platforms such as Twitter. It is, however, most demeaning to the people it welcomes in the name of inclusion. Boardgame geek says it's for everybody but only if you fit their stereotype. They are ultimately demeaning to women, people of non-European descent, and especially the LBGT plus community. They are a reminder that the values of Jim Crow America can be easily justified by diversity, equity, and inclusion in modern America. What is sad is how corporate America covers up for this sort of crippled worldview. The only worldview that acceptable is the one that treats everyone with respect and a spark of divinity.
