Superb for BG
Fortuitous Press
I use BG Buddy for all my club matches, and in larger tournaments as well. It's superb. The game is much faster, less noisy, and your wrist and elbow aren't tired at the end of the day. I've loved using scoreboards instead of wasting paper every match, but this app does far more for considerably less. No need to buy a clock, and a scoreboard, and precision dice - just get BG Buddy.

I just purchased the app and love the feature of taking pictures of positions for later analysis and not taking up storage on my phone as regular pics would. Thank you
