Spiel 2012 Android App Update

Spiel 2012 Android App Update
From gallery of W Eric Martin
As he did in 2011, Peter Feigl has once again created an Android app for use at the Spiel game convention in Essen, Germany that makes use of the information on BGG's Spiel 2012 Preview. You can download the app from this link – http://www.nexoid.at/essen2012/Essen2012.apk – and Feigl is answering user questions and posting updates in this BGG thread. (He notes that you can also email him – craven AT gmx.net – with questions or problems.)

BGG's Rustan Håkansson has been using the app in its most recent incarnation at Spiel and notes that it's working well here. The most important thing to note is that you need to do a full "Load from BGG" and let the process work all the way through, then after this you can load your wishlist to be able to show only the games you have marked here on BGG from the Spiel 2012 Preview.

You don't need to go through the "upload other booth info" process as I added nearly all the missing booth information on Monday and Tuesday while in Köln. Working vacation! I also added a number of other games to the Preview during this time. Still haven't got everything on the Preview, but I'll report on surprises while reporting from the convention. For now, though, it's time to head to the Zoch Verlag booth in order to check out its newest releases in person. Yes, I'm actually going to *gasp* play a game. Who would have thought that's possible?
