Ratings and reviews

It takes too long to load from the scan. And then it jumps to opening on the web but can't jump back to the app to scan more easily. Would be nice if it had a multi scan option so that I could scan lots of games at once instead jumping back and forth so much. And a simple check box to auto add it to my owned collection.

Easy to use and a game changer for collection management.

Works great for quickly finding games by barcode

What’s new

Ohoho, 2 updates!
I went through both the app and api code and shaved some time off, so the app should be faster now.. In theory? I guess in practice as well.
Do tell me either via the bgg mail or via the in game feedback if you noticed any difference.

I also added the setting to optionally not open the bgg site, in case you want quicker firing of games.. I have a hunch I'll regret this one :D

Ratings are welcome. Feedback is welcome. Maybe I should get testers.. :D
