Comments on BoardGameGeek (Unofficial) for Android

★★★★★ Nice complimentary app for logging games and quickly checking out potential games for purchase. There's a slight rub to the app though, it can be a bit temperamental with its syncing and viewing content, I suspect that it's a communication issue with the app and the website database, this does get fixed but it is a recurring issue from time to time. Overall it's a good app to have. A little bit of patience is needed, for the users, and errors need fixing faster, by the developers but I'm generally happy with it, especially when it's 100% working ;)

★★★★★ This is a 5☆ app but I've moved to a new phone and can't get it to sync no matter what I do. I know there have been sync issues with BGG servers but I thought they had been fixed.

★★★★★ I love being able to see my collection quickly and log games! One feature that I really want is to be able to sort game comments by date, just like the website does natively. Thanks for the great app!

★★☆☆☆ Used to be great. Now I get a java error every time I try to sync. Uninstalling and replacing with another app. (And before someone says "you have to accept blah-blah-blah at BGG", I already have. )

★★☆☆☆ App seems to have stopped syncing. I have two plays last night that ate perpetually stuck on "in progress" for the sync. Got several error messages regarding the plays too.

★★☆☆☆ Would be a fantastic app if the key features actually worked. Sync hardly ever works, and there's no way to separate your wishlist from your collection.
