Barcode scanner is useless
The barcode feature is beyond worthless I recently decided to start cataloguing my vast collection and decided to do a batch scan and I kid you not the barcode scanner was identifying probably 1 in every 30 or so games so I had to manually search for hundreds and hundreds of games I really cannot recommend this app in its current state

Could be better
UK user here, the app cant cant scan UK barcodes which is slightly irritating. On top of that, when going through the encyclopedia theres no way to filter out the games you already have which is quite annoying.
The best I’ve ever used
I love this app so much. I have been trying app after app to organize and record my games etc, and this one is by far the best one I’ve tried. I especially love the new “play through” feature so I can keep a record of my playthroughs along with notes about them. On that topic, can I make a request? Alongside the options of “finished, completed 100%, etc,” could you add an option for “milestone” or “achievement/accomplishment” or something like that? It would be great to have a record not just of the day I beat the game, but also record the date a favorite memory happened. And one more request: I’m glad we can filter our games to only show a certain tag, but can we have the option to filter OUT by tag? You are all amazing, and thank you for creating this!

Great app for people trying to collect video games.
So basically I’ve used this app for a while now qqand have to say it is good.
Just not for what is advertised, which I want to remedy with this review.
The feature of keeping track of all your video games, consoles, accessories, those action figures with nfc chips in them, and print media.
On paper (or an app description)
that feature sounds helpful.
But in practice that doesn’t really help much since I can usually remember the video games I own.
However I have a little more trouble remembering the video games I want.
The app has a wishlist function that lets you select any one of the previous mentioned items ever made and put them in a list.
Then the next time you end up near your retro game store of choice check to see if the store has any of the games on your list.
You’ll find the game you are looking for in no-time!

A few bugs but a good app
I like using this app because it’s fast. Easy to use. But sometimes clunky. I grew up on pc games and 3/4 of my games are non existent. It says you can add them. Like some apps that make you file your game by taking a photo and filing most of the paper work but it’s non existent. Same could be said with specific titles on consoles. I also would like a login choice. Because even though I like the sync saves. Looking on the website is a bit different. Plus I can’t just look at my list on multiple sites unless I do it all over again. The biggest issue is the scanner. Sometimes it works. Most of the times it doesn’t read period. Loose is a 50/50 but doable. Unless it flickers. Then go to the manual page and do your luck there. I know this sounds like a bad post but it does get the job done. If anyone can help me add games to the app that would be appreciated.

Barcode Scanner Not Working
When I use the Blu-Ray.com app the barcode scanner works flawlessly. Not every item I scan in the app is in their database, but it will always understand that a barcode’s been shown.
However, on this app, the barcode scanner refuses to work.
I really wanted to use this app, but unless the barcode scanner can be fixed it’s be a chore to add my games to it unlike Blu-Ray.com where I was easily able to add all my Blu-Rays.

Response from developer
There could be a variety of reasons why we don’t have the barcode you scan but when you *do* scan a barcode it does not recognize it says “barcode not recognized.” I guess that could say “barcode not in db” but that is essentially what it means. Europe is our weakest barcode set since there’s 50 regional releases per release, but our US and even Japanese set is pretty thorough, so if you’re having trouble with those you’d have to give us more information but that seems highly unlikely.
Doesn’t show Australia Release Version
Does not scan Australian games and does not show Australian releases only US and UK
Response from developer
We don’t have a lot of Australian barcodes yet but you can filter to them to see how many we have!
Do not buy.
I purchase this app in 2022 to keep track of my collection. At first it was awesome, spent a lot of time logging all my games. In 2023 the app had issues/updates and now I’ve lost all my data. Do not buy, avoid. Look for something else a bit more stable.
Response from developer
Just to be clear you cannot purchase this app because it is and always will be free! Maybe you were thinking of another app
Please add Australian support.
No support for overseas users.
Response from developer
There is support but the db is mostly iser curated. I see only 871 Australian exclusive entries in the app, though there is massive overlap with UK/Europe stuff for retro stuff. Of which we have a lot of support for!
Awesome, but!
I've been using this app for ages now and it's really good and clean. The only downside is that it's missing so many games and there's no way of me adding games that's not in the database. I have over 500 Nintendo Switch games and I've run into so many missing games, wish there was a way to add games directly in the app. Also, there's no way of adding my own artwork.
