### 2/5 — Ps sync function not working.

*2026-01-02*

I was super excited to see that this app syncs with PlayStation network however it’s not working. Yes I do have my profile set to public on psn. Sad because this would solve all the problems the other websites fell short on.

### 1/5 — Potential but I’ve been blocked

*2025-07-07, version 1.0.4*

Tried this app and it has a lot of potential and I liked the design and UI. However, when I go to sign in I get a message that I’ve been blocked with no other context. Very weird and disappointing

**Developer response:** Hey! This is indeed very weird & disappointing, so I'm super sorry to hear about this. To try & ensure this issue is fully fixed & doesn't happen for you or anyone else again, could you please email me with more details & a screenshot to help@mybacklog.gg? I'd love to get this resolved ASAP so your help would be very much appreciated.

### 2/5 — Similar apps free

*2025-03-27, version 1.0.2*

Good app but you have to pay to make the most out of it, £30 yearly is excessive for a basic app

**Developer response:** Thanks for the feedback! Could I ask what other apps offer all MyBacklog has to offer for free? MyBacklog has been built to offer every feature for free that every other similar app offers, with many paid features from other apps also being free. The paid-for tier is mainly for people to choose to support the app, granting them access to a few extra customisation features & automated daily syncing with external accounts (I simply can't do this for free due to the cost of running this feature). I don't know of any other app or site that offers any of the premium features free of charge, but if you do, please send them over to help@mybacklog.gg & I'll look into making those features free too. I don't want to charge for *anything* that another collection tracker offers completely free. As mentioned, the Premium tier mainly exists as a way of paying for the app's hosting fees rather than using ads.

Thanks again for this feedback & I hope to hear back from you via email. It's important to me I take as much feedback on board as possible to make the app as good as can be. :)

### 5/5 — Very Smooth!

*2024-11-09*

This app is very good, I like the smoothness in the layout and the overall comfortability. And linking accounts is very easy and simple so that is also a very good thing. This app definitely gets a solid 5/5, I look forward to what this app can be in the future!!

**Developer response:** I'm really glad to hear you like MyBacklog! The goal when developing it was to make it as easy to use as possible, and I'm glad the account linking features have made it easy for you to get started. :) I've added a lot since you made this review & have made huge updates to performance too, so I hope you've seen an improvement since as well. :D

### 5/5 — Impressive!

*2024-09-17, version 1.0.2*

An all in one hub where I can keep track of my games across all my platforms, with so many features available even on the base version! Amazing app and I would recommend to any casual or diehard gamers, great job dev!!

**Developer response:** Thank you so much!! I'm super pleased you're happy with it. It should be even better now too with all the updates to performance & other features I've added since you made this review. :D Thanks again for installing and leaving such a great review.
