### 2/5 — buggy mess

*2024-11-26, version 1.4.5*

app randomly just refuses to show search results.
for example, added God of War 2018 to my collection, when i searched god of war all of the games came up, but when i went back to search it just keeps saying no results found.
the app is decent and i’ve had fond memories of using it, but now it’s a buggy mess that only works a quarter of the time. really not worth the download if the devs are going to ruin it and then abandon it :/

### 4/5 — Pretty good, except for one lacking feature

*2021-11-08*

I’ve almost got all of my games catalogued, but there are a few that I can’t because the app doesn’t have the system I have them for listed under those games. This app could really benefit with the option to choose a system that isn’t listed. Like putting in your own system. If that makes any sense. Otherwise great app! Thank you!

### 3/5 — Good app but it keeps crashing

*2020-12-06, version 1.4.5*

Really useful app but it’ll crash frequently and it won’t open back up until I reboot my phone. Could you guys please fix that in an update?

### 2/5 — Just too many bugs.

*2020-03-18, version 1.4.5*

I used to absolutely love this app years ago, but there have just been too many bugs that should’ve gotten fixed by now and features that should’ve been added, but haven’t. I think I’m gonna finally have to say goodbye to this app. It’s been fun, or at least for awhile in the beginning, then a bit rocky since. Maybe I’ll check back one day and see how it’s going.

### 2/5 — No dark mode support

*2020-03-08, version 1.4.4*

Just downloaded and it’s incompatible with dark mode. If it’s nt going to be compatible it should have its own toggle for dark mode.

### 4/5 — Great, but

*2019-12-28, version 1.4.3*

Easy to use, well organised however it isn’t letting me remove a game from my collection, also some games don’t have thumbnails (Rayman legends on switch) so cant be identified

### 4/5 — Great app, but....will not delete games from collection

*2019-04-06, version 1.4.3*

This is a great app to list your collection. Unfortunately it doesn’t find every game you search for, and you can’t delete games either!

### 4/5 — Improvement

*2019-03-10, version 1.4.3*

I really like the app, but the button to delete a game is not working properly. Can you fix it?

### 4/5 — Almost perfect

*2019-03-04, version 1.4.3*

Amazing app, the best for game collections. It’s free and easy to use and manage compared to almost all similar apps. Only downside is I wish there was more customization. For some games there isn’t cover art, it’d be nice if we were able to give those games cover art as it’s an eyesore going through and seeing it without. Also some games can be found when searched but can’t be added to your collection due to lack of info, it’d also be nice if you could still add this game and find the info yourself

### 3/5 — Best app for collecting

*2019-02-15, version 1.4.3*

No issues other than you can’t remove games. The remove button isn’t working.

### 3/5 — One thing

*2019-01-04, version 1.4.2*

The app is awesome for storing games. The only cons are, when you search a title, you almost have to type it in perfectly. The other thing is, there's no way to back up save your collection, meaning if your phone gets reset, then all your time putting your games on there is wasted. If there is a way to back up your games. Then please lmk

### 3/5 — Few bugs

*2019-01-04, version 1.4.3*

Thanks for support

I found some bugs:

- When I tried to add Streets of rage 4 to library and wish list, it crashed.
- I can’t remove game from wish list.
- Date picker looks weird.
- can’t pull to refresh game’s details

Other note is please keep games pics and details updated

### 3/5 — Useful, great app that lost feature with update

*2018-12-30, version 1.4.3*

This app has been super useful for a collector like me. It’s da bomb! But with the most recent update, lost the feature to search games within my library on my iPhone 6s, please fix!

### 3/5 — CANNOT DELETE GAMES!!!

*2018-12-21*

I just recently downloaded the app and everything seems to be running smoothly, except for the fact that I cannot delete games that I don’t want in my library anymore. There’s a huge button saying “Remove from Library” but no matter how many times I press the button, it will not delete the game. It seems like a simple thing that can be fixed. If it can be fixed soon that would be great!

### 2/5 — Nintendo Switch

*2018-12-07, version 1.4.2*

Last update was 4 years ago, i can't add Nintendo Switch collection

### 2/5 — Was good

*2018-12-03, version 1.4.2*

Very time consuming adding each title one by one. Unable to carry collection to another device, so if you loose your phone you must start again and spend hours/days starting your collection again. Not worth the effort. No support or replies upon contact.

### 4/5 — Great and useful but needs updates

*2018-09-26, version 1.4.2*

This is great to keep track of my collection and reminders for ones I am still looking for! They do need to update the game library though, can't save certain games or versions because of missing labels. Having issues with searching for games and the app crashes. It’s becoming slightly unusable.

## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated)

### 1/5 — Waste of time

*2020-10-30, version 1.4.5*

Crashes often, then deletes the last 10 items you've manually entered (as there’s no barcode scan). Waste of time, don’t bother

### 1/5 — App is still crashing

*2020-03-08, version 1.4.4*

When this app came out, it was great. Then about a year ago, it just stopped working. The latest update DOESN’T fix it. The app still crashes as soon as it starts to load.

### 1/5 — Strange glitch

*2020-02-29, version 1.4.3*

I’ve been using this app for years now and it’s worked great up until recently, anytime I try to add an indie game to my library the app crashes. It works fine with AAA titles but crashes with indie games

### 1/5 — What Happened?

*2018-12-28, version 1.4.3*

I used to love this app and it’s very 5 Star worthy, but it seems after the last update the remove button no longer works, plus the search feature was removed from the library view. These two things might seem minimal, but please note I have over a thousand games logged with game vault. Also, most Disney games cannot be found when adding to library.

### 1/5 — Ok

*2015-12-27, version 1.4.2*

Ok app, not great. 

Loses stars because:

Can't choose from a list to select multiple titles.

Have to enter 1 item at a time. (So when you have a few thousand different titles from different systems this is tedious)

Missing a lot of Pal release covers and box arts.

Can't enter 'cart only' 'manual only' or 'box only' when building a CIB (complete in box)

### 1/5 — Doesn't work

*2015-06-06, version 1.4.2*

Api limit reached...I just downloaded it the limit can't be 0? One star.

### 1/5 — The app interrupted me to write a review

*2014-12-18, version 1.4.2*

So, one star.

### 1/5 — Poor

*2014-04-04, version 1.3.0*

App is broken...

### 1/5 — Unable to use

*2014-02-25, version 1.3.0*

Crashes on 5S...

### 1/5 — Shockingly bad!!

*2014-02-09, version 1.2.1*

I tried to search call of duty and get 6000 results for loads of games most of witch don't have the word call, of, or even duty lol 

Also there is no Xbox one or ps4 games that I could find

### 5/5 — Great app

*2022-03-31, version 1.4.5*

Just what I was looking for though I’d like to recommend adding something to show the games you’ve completed as it’s own feature maybe be able to sort the order I completed them in an such

### 5/5 — Great app

*2021-02-27, version 1.4.5*

I just wish they’d display the prices but other than that it’s amazing. And no ads

### 5/5 — Great app for making a list of video games!

*2020-09-19, version 1.4.5*

It's simple to use and very nice looking! 

I would also like to make 2 suggestions for future updates

- a statistic page showing which types of games we have more on our list and such.

- a "popular" or "new releases" kind of page where we can directly add in our list the games showing in the page.

### 5/5 — Love this app

*2020-03-08, version 1.4.4*

This is the perfect app for game collectors. My go to app.

### 5/5 — Some games

*2020-03-07, version 1.4.3*

Is really helpful when you make your own list, but need it an update because when you try put a game the app is close and doesn’t leave put that game, for example is happening with Mega man zero/zx legacy collection

### 5/5 — THE ONLY REAL GAME APP

*2019-10-09, version 1.4.3*

If you are a serious collector, download NOW!

### 5/5 — Great app!!

*2019-01-19, version 1.4.3*

Been using this app pretty much since when it came out. I use it to track all of the “retro” games I have so that when I’m at a flea market or store I know what I have and what I don’t. Great app! Really nice interface too.

There’s 2 things I’d love to see though:

1- the ability to export. PDF. Whatever. Save to cloud would be nice.

2- the ability to print either a list or the bookshelf.

Other than that- keep up the great work!

### 5/5 — Perfect

*2018-12-28, version 1.4.3*

I once wanted more features and checklists. I know think that the simplicity of this app makes i Very customizable and great, just make a custom entry and add details you want to know to the title. It works great. Please don’t change too much 
Ex.) 
Soul Caliber ii (Missing Manuel) 
Halo 3 (Damaged Box)
Final Fantasy (Disc Only)

NOTE: Would love to be able to back up somewhere in case something happened to my phone

### 5/5 — I use this app all the time

*2018-08-10*

What a great app. I use this to catalogue my video game collection and it come in handy when I’m trying to figure out what I should play next. *Suggestion* 
One thing I wish I can do is write my own review so I can remember how I felt about the game, and have a larger number of stars. 5 stars in my opinion isn’t enough. With 10 I can truly rate my games. 

I maybe the minority but this is something I wish was there

### 5/5 — Great app

*2018-05-30, version 1.4.2*

It’s easy to add and edit games. Seeing the box art all together is almost like lining your whole collection up along the floor. It would be nice if there were a way to share your collection through the app though.
