A note from the developer

This is a passion project, not a company. If something breaks or you have an idea, send me an email - I read every message and I'll do my best to help.

And if Pocket BGG earns a spot on your home screen, a rating goes a long way. Thank you!

Ratings and reviews

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.

Works well in general, a few bugs where photos stay on the previous game I looked at and even a refresh will not load images of the right game. Would also be cool to be able to go beyond the bgg top 100, I am able to change and load more paged when I search for a game then hit its rank but not from the main page. Will change for a 5 if these things get fixed

Seems to allow only 1 BGG account. Can't seem to view private information (such as purchasing price, location, comments you've made), displays hotness page by default (not my collection), can't seem to search in your own collection, can't seem to logout..... but it's quick, and easy to use.
