### 2/5 — Sert à quoi ? Pas de FR?

*2026-08-05*

J’ai rien compris à cette appli. J’ai voulu ajouter manuellement une console switch 2 pour commencer et aucune en FR de recensée.
Je supprime.

### 4/5 — In theory a good app

*2026-04-17, version 5.08.00*

UI is nice and the tags are very comprehensive, but it’s only for Americans. The prices are so inaccurate for PAL that the aspect of seeing the value of your collection is useless, which is the main reason I downloaded

### 3/5 — Was a 5* App, Not Anymore

*2026-04-14*

The app worked great up until this last update and now the barcode scanner refuses to work. No matter the lighting, angle, distance, the scanner just does not pick up barcodes anymore.

**Developer response:** Seems iPhone13 were affected. We have a fix for the next release but contacting us in the future is better than hoping we see the issue in reviews just FYI!

### 4/5 — Such a wonderful app for your collection

*2026-04-05, version 5.08.00*

I’ll start with the good things first. First of all this helps me so much knowing what i can sell my games for and if I’m buying a game I can check the price to make sure I don’t get scammed. With their newest update (as of writing this) they added a feature that lets you click like 2 buttons and the item can go from your wishlist and into your collection which I thought was extremely helpful and amazing. Alright now it’s time for the bad things. I only have one bad thing to say and that there is not a price for a few items. I honestly don’t know why they put items into their system without a price unless the item is unreleased please either price the items or take them out of the system it would be so much help. Also for example they have the subscriber copy of Nintendo power issue 272 not priced but the non-subscriber one is and I own the subscriber one it just doesn’t make sense to me so I had to add both the sub one and the non-sub one just so I can get the price

### 4/5 — Tradução

*2026-02-23*

Precisa de Tradução para português para ficar perfeito

### 4/5 — Great App with One Personal Drawback

*2026-02-15, version 5.05.07*

I really like the app but for me, it has one big drawback: I moved to the US from Germany and brought most of my collection of more then 700 video games with me. Unfortunately, the App doesn’t know the German barcodes. (From the first 10 scanned German games, only one was recognized by the App.) But that would not be the biggest problem, when it would be at least possible for me to teach this barcode with all underlying information to the App. 

As ist is right now, I have to manually look up every single item, choose a US or UK version and add a note for myself that says „German Version“. That works, but the overview of the library still shows the US or UK flag with the title.

I will keep the App but it would be really awesome if the customers would have the possibility to add barcodes to the encyclopedia.

### 5/5 — Good

*2026-01-14, version 5.05.07*

Love this app definitely using it for the rest of my life

### 5/5 — The best

*2026-01-11, version 5.05.07*

Easily the best app for game collecting

### 4/5 — Needs update

*2026-01-10, version 5.05.07*

There are a lot of games missing from this the list and getting in contact is impossible without signing up to a social media site so this is my only option hopefully they see it.

Update 1-9-26

I tried using the website as directed by the app makers and everyone on 
Q/A sites but the site doesn’t have the correct information so I can’t edit or add anything/ it’s a good app but this kind of ruins your collection records if you can’t complete it due to lack of updates to the games lists.

### 3/5 — How

*2025-12-27, version 5.05.07*

How to play the Wii game its not letting me play it

### 3/5 — Good but really only for Americans

*2025-12-25, version 5.05.07*

It’s a good app though the pal side is incredibly lacking and I’m having to use the American versions of my games/consoles

### 5/5 — Fantastic Game collection tracking

*2025-12-09, version 5.05.07*

I’ve used this for several years now and have really enjoyed it. Very rare I experience any app issues. I mainly started because I wanted to start collecting some older games and wanted to keep track of what I buy/ pick up when I travel. This has been better than any other app I’ve used.

### 5/5 — Best app

*2025-11-19, version 5.05.07*

The best app i ever used it is very useful need little bit refresh of theme and updates but still very great app i hope the the developers make more effort in this great app

### 3/5 — Manque des références françaises

*2025-08-21*

Malheureusement aucun jeu français pour collection Gamecube, n’y Europe d’ailleurs. Cela est dommage, j’espère que cela sera ajouté dans une future mise à jour

### 5/5 — Great app

*2025-07-19, version 5.05.07*

Easy to use, great at telling me my collections value and how much I own 10/10.

### 5/5 — It’s a good game and I like the game collection

*2025-06-27, version 5.05.07*

Every time I look at game, I thought you have to buy things, but you can actually create things for prices so I wish that you guys make more of these kind of games and these actual apps because people have been wanting other stuff like medical or anything like that but I like your app and it is pretty good and please do not add ads because that will be annoying if you add those, but thank you for having no ads

### 5/5 — All in one

*2025-06-21*

Great app. 
Every game (even really niche ones) are listed with HLTB playtimes,  Metascores and other useful informations (dev, pub, date, # of players,…).
Being able to keep track of your owned games (and versions) and platforms is really useful.
The icing on the cake is the upcoming section to stay up to date on what games are coming.

## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated)

### 1/5 — Scanner doesn’t process

*2026-08-21, version 6.00.00*

Too bad can’t add scanned barcodes to collection.

### 1/5 — Can’t sync with website

*2026-07-04, version 5.08.00*

The app works great, but the fact that you can’t log in with an account you made on the website means you can’t sync your library across both mobile and computer.

### 1/5 — Terrible experience

*2026-06-06, version 5.08.00*

Added hundreds of games last night and saved.  This morning opened the app and it’s empty.  Waste of time. Thanks so much

### 1/5 — Bloated

*2025-01-24, version 5.03.18*

I’ve only entered a few items and the app is already exceeding 500mb????

S M H 

You wrote “lol” in your reply… that’s very mature! 

Using another apps size to defend yours is flat out pathetic!  

I see how you easily get offended with 1 star reviews by reading your other replies!

### 1/5 — Does not work

*2024-11-30, version 5.03.12*

Don’t work

### 1/5 — Annoying pop-up

*2024-10-11, version 5.03.12*

The only reason I give this app a 1/5 is because there is an incredibly annoying popup that reads “synching with GAMEEYE.app: 43%” and it NEVER goes away. It just restarts the percentage. It overlaps with my game list and I just can’t unsee it. I know I know, I’m being very picky, but at least I am being honest.

I don’t think devs do well with negative comments. Also no devs, I don’t have slow internet. Running on iPhone 15 Pro Max, clocking at 320mbps, which should be plenty for this app.

### 1/5 — Barcode Scanner Not Working

*2024-04-30, version 5.02.01*

When I use the Blu-Ray.com app the barcode scanner works flawlessly. Not every item I scan in the app is in their database, but it will always understand that a barcode’s been shown.

However, on this app, the barcode scanner refuses to work.

I really wanted to use this app, but unless the barcode scanner can be fixed it’s be a chore to add my games to it unlike Blu-Ray.com where I was easily able to add all my Blu-Rays.

### 1/5 — Doesn’t show Australia Release Version

*2024-02-22, version 5.01.02*

Does not scan Australian games and does not show Australian releases only US and UK

### 1/5 — Do not buy.

*2024-01-02, version 5.01.01*

I purchase this app in 2022 to keep track of my collection. At first it was awesome, spent a lot of time logging all my games. In 2023 the app had issues/updates and now I’ve lost all my data. Do not buy, avoid. Look for something else a bit more stable.

### 1/5 — Please add Australian support.

*2023-11-30, version 5.00.02*

No support for overseas users.

### 5/5 — Amazing no frills game collection management app

*2026-08-27, version 6.00.00*

The app does what it advertises and is totally free, no ads and no nonsense. The developer is still actively adding updates and making it better than what it already is.

### 5/5 — Amazing !

*2026-08-27, version 6.00.00*

Really good app. Everything is great about it. Good barcode scanner and a manual input. The interface js easy to use. Many thanks for making this!

### 5/5 — Updated Review After Latest Update.

*2026-08-22, version 6.00.00*

I will leave the original review for context.

Update: The camera issue mentioned below is fixed. That app is looking sharper than ever and the QoL updates and syncing with the website are excellent. This has always been a good app even with its flaws at times, but there is no better comprehensive game collection app like this. And it is free!

Original: The app worked great up until this last update and now the barcode scanner refuses to work. No matter the lighting, angle, distance, the scanner just does not pick up barcodes anymore.

### 5/5 — Must have app for serious collectors!

*2026-08-20, version 6.00.00*

The easiest and free way to track your collection!

### 5/5 — Godsend

*2026-07-30, version 5.08.00*

This app is the best thing that has ever happened to a person like me, who loves collecting and keeping track all my game purchases. It’s rare to see an app that is just free, no ads, no gimmicks, no bs subscriptions. This is all you need. Much love to the GamEye developers and community.

### 5/5 — Great App for Video Game Collectors.

*2026-06-28, version 5.08.00*

I NEVER leave reviews on anything….but this…this caught my attention. Having a database for your game collection and estimated worth is such a nice such in the event you unfortunately had to sell some for your games. Easy to navigate and use is a ++. Linking HowLongToBeat for games is so freaking cool, I can go to the app and compare before I start a new game. And all of this is FREE!! Thank you developers for your hard work and I hope this app blows up for the gaming community collectors. I hope this app continues to grow and will be on my phone until I’m in the grave lol.

### 5/5 — Good stuff

*2026-04-24, version 5.08.00*

Just realizing this app might even say if your Switch 2 game is only a key card and doesn’t contain the game’s data.

### 5/5 — One of the best gaming app

*2026-04-02, version 5.08.00*

This app is amazing and if you have any questions, your support on discord is amazing. I highly recommend it. The best part is it’s absolutely free and the support they give is absolutely amazing. Very happy to be part of this community. Keep up the good work.

### 5/5 — Great App

*2026-03-24, version 5.08.00*

This is a great way to index your games, consoles and peripherals etc. Scan the barcodes or add your items manually. It is great for keeping a track of your entire collection using quite a few selectable metrics. It also tracks the approximate value. There is a corresponding arrow next to any items that have increased or decreased in value - it would be even better if you could see at a glance just the items which have increased or decreased in value without having to scroll through the entire list.  Five stars anyway!

### 5/5 — I only ask one thing from y’all

*2026-03-18, version 5.08.00*

Please add the sort by ESRB/PEGI/whatever region rating feature.
