Locks up

I can’t get past the opening screen that says it’s connecting to the cloud. It locks up there. I left it running for around 10 minutes to see if it would ever connect and it never did.

New version is terrible

This app was absolutely amazing. New update came out and is horrible. Aside from purging ALL information entered from previous version the app is glitchy as hell. Can’t add systems or accessories. PLEASE FIX ASAP!!

Update broke it

The new update breaks the app. Overnight my phone auto updated and I opened the app to find my collection data gone. I figured oh well I’ll just redo it I have some time. Unfortunately the app is so buggy now it’s near impossible to do it. Scrolling isn’t smooth and if you go near the side of the screen it jumps to a different letter. Also on my iPhone XS the button placement for close and back are not aligned because of the notch. Definitely seems like they should have waited before releasing this.

2.0 Full of Bugs and Choppy Scrolling

I was excited to try out version 2.0 now that the app has basically been rebooted. It was full of choppy scrolling while browsing games, bugs which appeared on the system tab to where you cannot even use the page, random scrolling on its own which will interrupt your current browsing, and over all the UI looks some how worse. Reviews are not accompanied by an author’s name or initials. It’s just a mess of an app.

Best NES app!

V2.0 update review

After the update the app doesn’t seem to format properly on my iPhone XS. The menu buttons are overlapping with the time and WiFi information and I have to click a button several times to get it to work. Also, many of the menu items that allow for filtering games are blank. If you click around and refresh it appears they are indeed filtering but you can’t see what options you have selected.

Once these issues are fixed I will bump my rating up.

This is by far the best looking and most comprehensive app for NES collectors I've ever used. If you are a retro gamer this app is an absolute must have.

If I had a wish list item it would be to be able sort by games you have completed or games you haven't completed.

Great app for NES collectors but needs some updates

My database for my collection. Nice layout that is easy to use.

For the developer: it does not look like the game values are updating for the last few months. Could this please be fixed?

This is great!

Thinking about getting into NES collecting and this is awesome Pat! Please consider iCloud functionality in a future release so you can sync across devices. Got the NES and SNES books on pre-order and looking forwad to them.

Awesome app

This app is an absolute must have for all gaming collectors!! I have been using it for over a year now and couldn’t be more impressed! If you are concerned about the price ....then I dunno, grow up because you’re more than likely over 30 and you should’ve realized by now you get what you pay for!...most of the time anyway lol

Essential for NES and Pat fans!

Love this app! Not only does it include screenshots, cover art, detailed reviews and tips/cheats, it’s also self-contained and can be used offline. Love this app and love Pat!

Great app but...

For the past month it forces my keyboard shut every time I try to search for a game. I deleted and reinstalled but it didn’t fix the problem.
