### 3/5 — Great app except for one thing…

*2022-08-28*

…and that’s to PLEASE fix the crashing issue.  This awesome app is pretty much useless because of the constant crashing when scrolling through the games.

**Developer response:** Hi ScottyC, 

I’m trying to replicate the crashes you are reporting so I can figure out the underlying cause. Could you please provide details to gameologyapp@gmail.com with what steps you are taking to encounter a crash so I can get it to happen on my end as well?  Also, if you could include which device you are using and which iOS version it would be helpful.

### 5/5 — I’ll probably use this to my “wishlist”

*2022-02-19*

Cool way to track games. Love that it’s free. I’ll mostly be using this to keep my game “wishlist” because I’ve always had a wishlist but never kept it anywhere. Now I have a place.
