### 2/5 — Almost Perfect

*2025-07-04*

I’ve been using this app for a while and, while it has potential, there are several areas that really need improvement.

To begin with, some key features are missing, and there are quite a few bugs that affect the overall user experience. The tagging system is disorganised, and the interface feels cluttered. For example, when selecting a dark background colour, the default text colour is black—which makes everything nearly unreadable—and there’s no option to manually adjust the text colour.

The background colour selector only uses a slider, with no option for manual hex input, making it difficult to choose an exact colour. Several input fields are also buggy and often fail to save properly.

One big usability issue is the inability to hide unwanted sections on the game detail pages. It would be really helpful to hide categories you’re not interested in. Additionally, categories like genre, publisher, and developer aren’t clickable or usable as filters, so there’s no easy way to explore other games within those groups.

Another limitation is that while you can refresh game descriptions and cover art, you can’t refresh other game details—which feels inconsistent.

These issues significantly hold the app back from reaching its full potential, and they prevent it from being the truly useful tool it could be.

**Developer response:** Thanks a lot for the detailed feedback! I really appreciate you taking the time. You're absolutely right about many of these points, and I’m already planning improvements. I’ll do my best to make the app more stable, flexible, and user-friendly in future updates.
