Comments on Pocket BGG for Android

★★★★☆ Emilio Collavino · Mar 14, 2022
Excellent BGG app. Smooth and easy to use. Wish there was a search option to look for specific stuff in the Forum section
★★★★☆ Ruben Monteiro · Sep 24, 2020
Really good app. Almost could replace using the regular website, just missing 2 things (imo): games' Classification and more collection sorting (currently you can just sort by Player count and Duration). Otherwise, really great work.
★★★★★ Jack WM · Jan 27, 2025
Great app. It's a nice, simplified version of bgg. Makes it easy to edit collection, log plays, and share your profile. I recommend it.
★★★★★ A Google user · Oct 2, 2020
Awesome app, much faster than visiting the bgg page. One thing that I'm missing though (which I always want to know for each game) is the detail view of recommendations for different player counts.
★★☆☆☆ Erik Johnson · Jan 9, 2021
Not ready for release yet / filled with bugs. Within the first 2 minutes of using discovered that after clicking on a board game it will only display the previous one you looked at, not the one you clicked on, until you hit the refresh button -- then it will load the correct information. After adding a game to your collection discovered that the app needs to be fully closed and reopened in order to execute that action again (add a second game). Still in alpha stage, needs more work.
★☆☆☆☆ Christopher Short · Jul 9, 2023
Only syncs a few my games. Not worth wasting my time when there are many other bgg apps
★★☆☆☆ Benny Bottema · May 2, 2021
Too basic. Can't filter based on rating, or type of mechanics or number of players etc. Searching games switches to a list view without (sortable) columns. Only useful if you already know exactly what you are looking for.
