Review summary

Boardspace.net is praised for its cross-platform gameplay, faithful boardgame implementations, and bot support aiding practice and tournaments. However, many users find its Android app difficult to navigate due to a confusing and poorly optimized user interface with unreadable text and cut-off elements. Performance issues, particularly with bots being very slow, further diminish the experience. Controls are often unresponsive, and though the developer is responsive to feedback, the app is considered nearly unusable on phones by multiple reviewers.

Pros

Supports cross-platform play between PC, iPhone, and Android devices.
Includes bots for practice and game simulations.
True to original boardgame designs, useful for reviewing games.
Great for practicing abstract strategy games and participating in tournaments.
Developer is responsive to user feedback and issues.

Cons

User interface is confusing and difficult to navigate, especially to start games.
UI elements often cut off, text is hard to read or too small, making it unusable on some devices.
Performance issues with bots causing very slow gameplay, sometimes taking hours.
Unresponsive controls and buttons, including chat functions.
Not well optimized for phones; better experience suggested on desktop or tablets.

2023-01-30	Ri*****	Installed this to play Hive but it's absolutely unusable. Text is unreadable, controls have no labels, every element cuts off the screen, the layout is so bad it looks like it was designed as some sort of weird performance art satire. I can't even figure out where the games are or how to play one.

2023-01-12	Bu*****	Installed it for a HIVE on my phone and PC. Is this made by one person? It's a blast, you can play cross platform. I was just playing from PC with a friend using his iphone. Negative reviews are just pathetic. Well, my frieds, while UI is not perfect but still you can't figure out how to start a game, you probably should not be playing any of the games this app has. Huge thanks to the dev. Please stop downgrading this app due to your own stupidity. I lost to a Dumbot btw, lol.

2021-10-02	Ba*****	I feel so dumb for not being able to figure out how to use this app. Why does it need to be this hard to start the simulation my god.

2021-07-11	Ni*****	It seems like a good app, but in my case I couldn't figure out how to start a game. I was hoping to see a start button or something. Probably something obvious I'm overlooking. I don't want to take points off because I didn't understand something - a common occurrence. I had to squint to see the text, but again, no point deduction from old guy with failing eyesight. Using Samsung S21 ultra.
