I appreciate the review, even 5 years later in 2024. I've played bar darts for fun in the past but recently got a wild hair to buy a board for my garage for when friends stop over. My local stores only sell Viper and Arachnid boards which seem so outdated when you see the Granboard. Currently Amazon either sells the Granboard Dash or 3s and I have not seen a v2 board. From what I can see, the big difference between the Dash & 3s is the lighting and bluetooth which you mentioned. The lighting and especially the sound makes this board stand out over other boards and seem to provide more excitement for the player vs Viper or Arachnid. I'm sure many buy it for the online match play but I don't see myself using that feature. 5 years later, do you still like this board and has it lasted that long? 5 yrs ago they were probably $250 but now pushing $310 so they are a small fortune especially if you are a once in a while with friends player.

As casual player, we own it for about 1 year and use it at home almost every Fridays evenings, for friends challenges. It is pretty durable, and we rarely have false scores, even if it sometimes happens. Nothing really annoying, because you can roll back to previous throw in case of problematic score. But i think the big limitating part is the app. There is not enough games in my opinion, as we can't play some bar famous games. I wish grand board will one day open the game creation to players, it could really improve the use of this board. Sorry for my bad English ;)

ALSO, is there any firmware updates I need to be aware of for the board itself or no? I bought it during the heyday of the pandemic so many months ago. it is working fine but is there some new firmware features or anything I need to know about that has come out lately that I need to upgrade the unit with in the last 5 months since it came in. I just started using it tonight (got it mounted to the wall tonight). My little iPhone is working fine but i'd like to have all of this come up on a big screen computer monitor on a computer running windows 10. would I have to run an Android Emulator on the computer to emulate a smart phone just to use it on a computer....or do they have a windows 10 program written yet???

It's not intended to run on a PC. Some people have found a way to make it work on PC, but I'm unfamiliar how. The app runs best on Apple products. I'd suggest buying a cheap $25 hdmi out adapter to run to a monitor or tv. That's what a lot of people do including myself. Buy one that has a charging port on it too. I'm unfamiliar if the 3s has firmware updates or not, as I've never done one. Join the "granboard online" community on facebook. You will find most answers there.

If you can't go the iPad route then I'd join the Granboard Online group on Facebook that has 16,000+ members, search this question and you'll find tons of answers on specific tablets and how they perform.

I have used the VDarts, Eagle Darts, Gran Board 3 and the Gran Board Dash. The Gran Board Dash is an absolute waste of money. At least 1 dart per round falls out of it. The quality is not there at all. The VDarts is a solid board but limited amount of players on at any time. Also, my least favorite app. The Eagle Board has the best app and best quality board but has the least amount of players available. It is the worst board for finding players too. I had to start my own Eagle Darts Facebook page to get players to play me. The Gran Board 3 is the best investment because there are always at least 20 players on the app available to play games with around the world. Hope this helps.
