V6.13 Named Anonymous players and more!
This update contains lots of bigger and smaller improvements!
The most important of these are described below.
Named Anonymous players
When you log a play in BG Stats you now can add names to one or more Anonymous Players. In a play, just tap the anonymous player to add a name.
A so-called Named Anonymous Player only appears in that Play, not in any other lists of players, and does not have player stats.
You can find all information about named Anonymous Players here: Naming an Anonymous Player, and about Anonymous Players in general here: Anonymous Players.
Improved Game Search
When searching for a game in the List of Games the following is now also possible:
- Search based on words: Just enter one or more words in the game title to find it. For instance. the search “Game Thrones” will now also find “A Game of Thrones“
- Search on alternate names: The game can now be found under all alternate names known on BGG, not just the primary name and name you gave it in the app. For instance: if you’ve added your game in the app as Sanctuary, you can now also find it under Artengarten.
As before, you can also find a game by its BGG ID.
Extra sorting options for selecting players in a play
When selecting players for a play, there are two extra options to sort the players available. Next to Alphabetical, Recent play and Most plays, you can now also sort players on Recent play of this game and Most plays of this game.
Automatic Play tagging for Locations
You can now set a Default tag that will always be added to plays when they are logged on that location.
A default play tag can be added for every location:
- Go to the Location list
- At the end of a Location line
- tap on the dots and select Edit (Android)
- tap on the ⓘ (iOS)
- Tap on Default Play Tag
- Select a tag
- Go back (Android) or tap Select (iOS) to go to the Location overview
- Tap Save
Extra option when selecting a duplicate game
When you search for a game and the game already exists in your app, with the extra option you can go to that Game entry directly.
When you tap on the + button on the list of Games, you can search for a game on BoardGameGeek. Type the name of the game (or BGG ID) and tap Search BGG.
If you tap on one of the search results, but that game is already in your app, you’ll now have three options:
- Go to existing entry: opens the existing Game overview screen
- Add separate entry: adds the game to the app
- Cancel
Heat map Accessibility option
You can now tap the Heat map legend to switch the heat map display from colors to grayscale. For each value, the number will be displayed as well.
The Heat map is available with the Power expansion. You can access it from the Insights screen, when you are viewing a Year or All time period.
Improved compatibility with accessibility settings (iOS)
BG Stats now adjusts its behavior based on the Accessibility Settings Reduced Motion and Differentiate without color. Larger Text, Dark Interface and Reduce Transparency were already supported.
BG Stats will soon list “Accessibility Nutrition Labels” in the App Store with all supported accessibility features.
Other improvements
Lots of other small bug fixes and improvements:
- The game detail screen now shows how many board/variants and expansions you have
- Switched the order of the Wins and Losses columns in stats for Plays and Games without scores
- Game default scoring settings (Highest/Lowest wins) are automatically adjusted based on your recorded plays, when applicable
- Improved handling of duplicates and New flag on Matching screen
- And more
