After you’ve selected what you want to see, you can set this view as default for all your lists, or create a different set for each.
Of course the original compact view is still available.

New sorting options on the Games list
A lot of new sorting options are added: player counts (official, recommended, and best), weight/complexity, rating and rank.
After updating
The app will start loading all necessary data from BoardGameGeek, when you view the updated Games list for the first time. This may take a while. You can follow its progress with the progress bar at the top of the list, and view the status by tapping the header text above the list (stating how many games your list contains).
