Was Perfect Until….
So I downloaded this on a whim. It was great better than great it was almost perfect, with the barcode scan and go, until I downloaded it on my ipad to continue adding on from there only to realize its not transferable. Theres an export option but no import. No account to log into so you cant go from iphone to ipad to pc if you wanted to. So basically if I was to lose my iphone or trade it in I would have to start all over again. Now that i apparently wasted my time I will just go back to one of old sites i used and update on there. RF Generation and gamevaluenow (not updated as often to recognize newer games just fyi). RF Generation is better minus the lack of value for each game/system/accessory.
Update: Developer or employee of developer sent an email that was quite rude instead of just explaining how to do the transfer they had to add a snarky opening sentence. Unprofessional to say the least

Read the help section instead of complaining about a free app. Of course you can transfer. Cloud accs however, are not coming until the website is finished. You literally just tap on the exported restore point on the new device. And it reminds you to make one once a week.
Great app, especially to categorize games you want to get
Wish I knew about this app sooner, this is gonna make collecting soooo much easier. Easy to use and just simple. A little nitpick, I feel the wish list should not be “tucked away” in a different section, should be on the main page (now told that this can be changed, awesome!). Doesn’t require wifi which is a huge thing for me. One of the best apps I’ve ever used, highly recommend

Hey there! You can actually set the tab order in settings. Then you can put the wishlist in whichever order you’d prefer.
Very useful; freezes a LOT
I'd easily rate this app 5 stars if it wouldn't freeze on me everytime I try using it. I believe it used to be more stable in the past as well. Incredibly robust collector's resource, but the stability really knocks it down a few pegs.
Great that you can save your collection as a file in case anything happens though (never had to import a save in the two years i've had the app, but still a great safety measure nonetheless).

Could Be Better
Some games don’t have a price, some games aren’t even there, the prices are different if you do the same game but on a different account, and last but not least the CIB price is lower than the game when it is boxed.
For example, Super Mario All Stars doesn’t appear, Pokémon Shield is a different price on a different account even though they have the same settings, and For example the game MarioKart 7 for the 3DS is 12 dollars loose, the manual is 4 dollars, and the box is 6 dollars. That would lead you to believe the CIB is $22, but it is $15. $7 is disappearing from the total part combined to CIB.
I hope you can please fix these because this is the best app I have found.

Some games might never have a price lol. There’s 100k games and not all have sales data on ebay. The database is community driven, which is explained the first time you open the app. Missing games can be added to thegamesdb.net. A manual sold by itself will always fetch more money than a manual sold in a CIB unit. Again, these prices are from eBay.
Still needs some work
I like the convenience of this app and seeing a value on my consoles and games. However some of my games aren’t priced and simply have a question mark and several of the prices don’t come remotely close to what the games go for online. A good example is Puppeteer on PS3 a super expensive game that the app shows at less than half of its price currently and mine is CIB.

It’s touchy sometimes…
I enjoy the app and was able to assess and assemble most of my collections as I play or complete them. The issue of being less than 5 stars is the app regularly becomes unresponsive after entering a few games or additions. I think my dear old phone, i7, may play a part but took note that it’s becoming more frequent. The app resumes functioning in a few hours after closing and relaunching.
TL;DR: Good app; minor gripes when in a hurry.

Great app
Great app just needs n64 cartridge support for the gameye cartridge scanner
Literally unplayable
I got this app to try and get around another app wanting to purchase more space but I got maybe 5 games categorized before the app just started crashing constantly. I can’t even add one more game without the app freezing at some point in the process and forcing me to close it. I gave it multiple chances, even waited a few days to see if it was temporary. Nope. I cannot use this app at all. It’s a shame, but I guess I’ll have to pay for the other app anyways. At least I know that one works.

OK App
Okay app. Used it for a while now. Sadly the barcode scanner hardly ever finds my game and I have to add manually. More common on newer games.
Pretty good app
I've just finished entering my whole collection and the app made it much easier than others I've used. I very much enjoy being able to filter and sort by different criteria, so I can see, for example, the oldest game I have that I have not beaten yet. No app is perfect and there's some room for improvement, but my main request would be for it to use iCloud to sync the database across devices so I could access my collection on iPhone, iPad, and Mac.
