Is the app free to use?

Yes! All core tabletop tools are completely free to use with generous limits. You can start tracking scores, timing player turns, managing player profiles, and playing ambient soundscapes right away. A one-time Premium purchase removes all limits on player profiles, custom groups, custom counters, and scoring presets — no recurring subscriptions, pay once and keep forever.

What board games are supported?

Any board game, card game, or tabletop RPG! The app connects directly to the BoardGameGeek (BGG) database with over 100,000+ titles for instant search and session logging. Whether you play classic strategy games like Catan, Ticket to Ride, and Carcassonne, heavy Eurogames like Wingspan, Terraforming Mars, and Ark Nova, or party and card games, the universal tools adapt seamlessly to your rules.

Does the app work offline without an internet connection?

Yes, 100%! All essential companion utilities — including the score tracker, digital score sheets, turn timer, life counters, ambient sounds, and first player randomizer — work fully offline at your gaming table or during travel. Internet access is only needed if you choose to sync your cloud profile across devices or search new titles in the online game library.

Can I log plays and track stats for my gaming group?

Absolutely. You can create permanent player profiles with custom avatars, organize players into regular game night groups, and log detailed session histories. The app automatically calculates win rates, highest and average scores, most played games, and head-to-head match records to settle friendly rivalries.

Does game data sync across multiple devices?

Yes. When you sign in with your Apple ID or Google Account, all your players, saved games, custom scoring templates, and play statistics automatically sync across your iPhone, iPad, and Android devices in real-time.

What languages is the companion app available in?

The app is fully localized in 15 languages: English, Ukrainian, German, French, Spanish, Polish, Italian, Portuguese, Japanese, Korean, Czech, Dutch, Turkish, Swedish, and Romanian, with more languages continuously being added.

Is there a dice roller in the app?

A realistic 3D dice roller with customizable polyhedral dice (D4, D6, D8, D10, D12, D20, D100), physics-based rolling, and sound effects is actively in development and will arrive in an upcoming update!

What exactly is included in the Premium upgrade?

The Free tier includes up to 5 players, 2 player groups, 2 custom counters, and 5 game scoring presets with zero ads. The Premium upgrade unlocks unlimited player profiles, unlimited groups, unlimited custom counters, and unlimited custom category scoring presets for life — all for a single, low one-time purchase with no subscription fees.

How does the board game score tracker and digital score sheet work?

The scorekeeper offers three flexible modes to replace messy paper sheets: Simple Total Counter (quick +/- tap scoring), Round-by-Round Tracker (ideal for trick-taking or multi-round games like Skull King or Rummy), and Category-Based Score Sheets (custom categories with multipliers and automatic sum calculations, perfect for games like 7 Wonders, Agricola, or Everdell). You can save presets for your favorite games so you never need paper scorepads again.

How does the turn timer and first player chooser work?

The timer utility provides both an overall game night clock and dedicated per-player turn timers with customizable countdown or count-up durations, optional time bank rules, and audio alerts when time runs low. The First Player Chooser lets everyone place a finger on the screen or spins a fair digital selector with smooth animation to settle who takes the opening turn without arguments.

Can this app replace all my separate tabletop tools?

Yes! Instead of cluttering your phone with separate apps for scorepads, timers, life counters, randomizers, and ambient soundboards, Board Game Tools combines all of them into one fast, battery-optimized, and ad-free companion app designed specifically to keep your table uncluttered and your game night moving smoothly.
