User reviews

A must have extension for BGA users with lots of great features. I especially like the notifications about tables where I'm awaited, dark mode, and other customizations that allow me to tweak BGA. The author is also very responsive on the forum and welcomes feedback and suggestions. This extension truly deserves 5 stars.

Some good QOL features for BGA, especially as BGA admin keep adjusting layout of pages of the site against the preferences of users. I like dark mode, plus the list of tournaments you're currently registered for is useful (since it doesn't appear anywhere on BGA).

I installed it for the dark mode but the additional QoL features make this extension invaluable. The ability to "delete" games from list, I've always wanted that feature and now I have it. Thumbs up!
