As you may have seen already, over the last week a new update has been rolled out: version 5.8 with Personal Ratings!

With Ratings in BG Stats you will be able to rate games, as well as filter and sort on your own ratings.

If you have Collection sync enabled your rating will automatically be synced with BGG as well.

You can find all information about Ratings here: Rating Games

Enabling Ratings

If you haven’t done so already, you can read how to enable Ratings here: Enabling Personal Ratings

From version 5.7 it is possible to create a QR code to share your play(s). Let friends* scan the code direct from your phone or send the image or link whichever way you like!

Creating a QR code for sharing play(s) works exactly like sharing play files, just choose the option “Share via QR code” instead.

More information can be found here: Sharing plays using a QR code.

* BG Stats users with version 5.7 or higher

After a weekend of lots of communication with our hosting provider Cloud services (Cloud sync and Score Sheet templates) are working again. If you encounter any problems please let us know!

As an apology for the extended outage and any inconvenience, we’ve added 14 days to all active Cloud sync subscriptions.

What went wrong?

On Friday March 28th in the afternoon (UTC) our Cloud services stopped working in the app.
The services were up and running again at March 30, 22:53 UTC.

Our hosting provider placed our domain into protective mode, the most common cause for this is a DDoS attack. After adding extra preventative measures to our domain the protection was lifted, and all services resumed.

With these new measures we are working on making these services more resilient in the future.

We want to thank our wonderful volunteers who worked very hard on translating the app into Korean!

This is the 15th language in BG Stats after: Chinese (simplified), Czech, Dutch, English, Finnish, French, German, Icelandic, Italian, Polish, Portuguese, Spanish, Swedish and Ukrainian!

Activating a different language in the app
Go to Settings –> App Settings –> Language

We are very grateful for all our translators for not only translating the app, but also for their continued support with translating new features!
