Board Game Stats Reviews

Really love BoardGameStats. Love that while most other devs create board game apps, then abandon them while they remain a buggy mess, BoardGameStats continues to be maintained. As a result, it looks and functions beautifully. Though I have to say I’m not really crazy about how all the extra little things are $2. Just point me toward the full paid version and I’ll buy it for like $10-$15, but separating out all the features makes me not want to buy any of them. I did just encounter a bug when trying to take a picture of my game btw. Both times after I tapped take a picture, BoardGameStats completely froze. Taking pictures of my final play state is a huge thing for me! Please don’t take that from me! :(

Needs better support for teams.

Everything is great. Except team stats. Currently it can keep track of teams and you can name them and make them win. But app does not keep track of team win rates (ie how often do the demons win in Knightfall). The workaround to give everyone the Knight Role if they’re on the Knight team also doesn’t solve this problem, and stats actually get screwed up looking at “Role Set” stats. Please, fix team support for stats. Manually assigning roles each time is annoying and slow, and worst of all it doesn’t even solve the problem.

I love BoardGameStats so much that I purchased all of the add ons because I quickly became addicted to all of my board game state. The way BoardGameStats displays all of your information is fun and engaging. I love the challenges because they keep me going back to my board games. BoardGameStats has helped me grab old games I haven’t played in a long time off the shelf as well as play new games that I had purchased but never got around to playing. This is probably the best app I have ever used and it’s free! The free information is probably enough for most people but I wanted more and wanted to support the creators. One thing I would love as a tiny improvement would be for the board game geek ratings of games to sync in real time. I added finspan to my owned games list when people were rating it low and now that it has received higher ratings I’d like that to sync and reflect. However, if I want it to reflect I need to re-add the game. Maybe I am doing this wrong but if an auto sync could happen that would be great! All in all get BoardGameStats if you love board games and want to track your stats!

This lets you track your plays and game collection in so many awesome ways! Want to remember what games you played with this friend before? Want to find 6 player games? With tagging you can create you own tags like gateway, best with 3 players etc. Want to sync your tracking with family or friends? I’ve been using BoardGameStats for almost 10 years and I just keeps getting better!

It is easy to understand, reasonably priced, lacks ads, and can be as in-depth or simple as you want it to be. It helps me remember to not buy more games because I have games at home that I’ve played less than 5 times. It also helps me remember the great times I’m having with my friends around the table. Easy 5 stars

Thanks for the great app. Since I play lots of different games at my friendly local game store, is there a way you can build in a filter of owned vs not owned games? I only currently record plays of games I own, so that I can also use BoardGameStats to track my collection. If I could filter on owned games as needed, that would be great. Maybe even a category for no longer owned games. Keep up the good work!

Really a great app. I’ve been using it for years and It just keeps getting better. The ability to import plays and players from BGA and Yucata is a huge timesaver. I love seeing stats for what games I’ve played the most and which friends I’ve played with and what my high scores are between games. Just all around fantastic.

One of the best apps on my phone. These folks have put together the perfect app for board games. It has so much thought put into it.

Love the tracking, the customizing, and the inventorying of my games.

Plus it being tied to BGG just tops it off. Love BoardGameStats. Completely worth the money if you are even a casual gamer who enjoys tracking info of any kind.

Not that BoardGameStats costs much but the developers are great and provide great support with frequent free updates. The couple of addons, which aren’t necessary, are worth the cost as well. Many of the free updates I’ve been motivated to tip for. They were that good. I’m a tightwad and still always motivated to pay a bit more.
If you are a gamer, you need BoardGameStats. Okay, maybe want BoardGameStats.

We have had BoardGameStats for over a year and I am constantly amazed at the new ways the updates allow me to store, calculate, and sync my data. This is the most phenomenal app out of every single app I own across the board. And when it comes to Board Games, I recommend this one and only this one. It leaves all other board game apps in the far distance.

Not that there’s any rumor of it, but I hope BoardGameStats never loses support. It makes logging plays, checking and maintaining your library, and looking up stats (amongst many other things) so easy to do. They really seemed to think of almost every possible feature you could want. I’m super impressed. Really happy BoardGameStats is around. When I first started in the hobby I was using something else, it did the job but not like this one. Great job team!

Great app that works seamlessly, provides excellent data and is easy to use…but holy heck!!! What’s with all of the updates? I swear, BoardGameStats gets updated at least once a week. Then there’s always an annoying pop up that tells you what was updated. Which you’ll soon learn to ignore. But will still find annoying. 5 stars, but maybe push an update once a month? Maybe even every other?

I’m writing this a few days short of my one-year anniversary of downloading BoardGameStats.

The ease and speed at which I can record my plays (as well as who I played with, scores, and comments on the play) means that I reliably log just about every game I play. As someone with a large board game collection (60+ games and growing), it’s great to see what I’m actually getting to the table, and more importantly, what games I’m not playing anymore.

There’s nothing revolutionary about BoardGameStats, it just does it’s job in a streamlined, effortless way. I’ve enjoyed using BoardGameStats enough that I decided to upgrade to the deeper statistics and unlock the challenge tracking, as these features seemed fairly priced for additions, and the developers are very active.

I’ve been tracking my plays with BoardGameStats since 2018 and it’s awesome. I love that I can look at things like which champion I should use next in Dice Throne due to a lower play count, who in my family has the highest score in Kingdomino, how often I’ve won with Black Panther in Marvel Champions, and who has the highest win percentage in my Monday Night Games group for 2022.
BoardGameStats is ALWAYS adding more features that make it even better. Well well well worth the price.

I wish I had known about BoardGameStats a long time ago! I’ve been using it for nearly four years and have seen BoardGameStats get even better over time as new features are regularly added. If you like to track what board games you play and when and also like to know how often you win and who you play with where, this is perfect. It also integrates well with the BoardGameGeek website to automatically download game information.

I love BoardGameStats, and it just became even better with the latest update. It's great for tracking plays and games and getting some statistics on both. The upgrades you can purchase are super reasonable and completelty worth it! BoardGameStats does not price gouge at all - they offer affordable one-time purchase that unlock great features. Even the free version is great - though if you enjoy using the free version it seems silly not to pay a few bucks to make it even better. Can't recommend BoardGameStats enough for board gamers.

BoardGameStats has it all. The tagging for me is essential because I can create multiple labels per category for each of my games. This allows me to then filter down to any detail that I want and then it’ll help me choose the game I feel like playing…The stats that it offers is amazing. It tells me what types of games I need to go back to, or I need to improve on, or which ones I can recommend to my friends. BoardGameStats is fantastic, I really recommend it. A one time fee is a perfect model for this type of app. Great job to the designers!

If you care enough to track your plays on BGG, you need BoardGameStats. It superpowers your BGG data and keeps things in perfect sync. You can filter your data in ways you can’t on BGG and the insights area is brilliant.

My favorite feature that I just learned about is the random feature. I can sort by unplayed games that I own and click the random icon and it will pick one of the games for me. (you can use this feature on any filtered list). This approach might give me a shot of making it through my shelf of opportunity this year!

I waited several months to review so I could get a fair amount of time with BoardGameStats and what it offers. I did end up paying for all the extras, because honestly, I just couldn’t stop myself. I was impressed with the apps abilities to parse the data and organize it without me having to create a million tables or generate specific queries. This was brilliant to have a lot of this built in and easily manipulate the data.

I have to say the one feature I absolutely fell in love with for some reason was the challenges. I simply cannot stop myself from creating challenges for myself and games. All the different challenges gave me new ways to look at my games and find new ways to pull out older games I haven’t played in a while and fit them in with new games I haven’t yet played.

BoardGameStats truly offers up so much more than I could have hoped for and gave me new exciting ways to look at my collection of games.

My only wish is that I could rate games on BoardGameStats rather than having to still go to BGG directly to do that. (Unless I am missing that somewhere that I can)

One of my most used apps. Prior to bgstats logging plays was such a chore on BGG even with things such as SPLU. I’ve been using BGStats for 2-3 years and have been very impressed by the constant updates and improvements that have been added. Now I use it to primarily enter all new game acquisitions and as proof to my wife that I don’t win every game we play!
