User reviews

This is the one!

I’ve searched high and low for a game release date tracker with reminders and downloaded so many apps, and this one came out on top. It’s the best at pulling data from IGDB (so many games just don’t show up on the other apps I’ve tried), the reminders work properly, and the free tier is very good. My only issue is the UI/UX. It’s by no means bad, but I wish it were a little prettier or sleeker.

Perfect for a prince

The app is beautiful and has the necessary functionalities with the main information about the games, but I think it's expensive for what it offers. Charging to see reviews or a price just for access seems strange. In my opinion, if the goal was to finance through subscriptions, they should first build a base of active users, a community, and then add prices for more cosmetic things, the number of organizations, and things like that. I don't feel like paying the app price for a new app that I don't know if it will have a consolidated user base and consequently allow me to see a game, the opinions, and get any idea about it, if I can see it for free elsewhere. Another thing I don't like much is offering several options of the same game (i.e., Wildlands Deluxe Edition; Wildlands Complete Edition). I prefer when it's the game itself and within it, the versions appear, like a subcategory. But anyway, the app is gorgeous, it makes you want to use it and follow along, but it's still too early to draw any conclusions. Congratulations to the developer who knew how to combine the backlog aspect with a more Apple-like UI. The same goes for the Nintendo one, but in my opinion, it ends up being expensive. Maybe I'm just poor.

Response from developer

Hello, thanks for detailed feedback. As for the free/paid version limits - this is very hard to get right and in a way that works for everyone. The reason for locking reviews for individual games is that OpenCritic is big monthly cost for me and something that can be viewed as "extra". In the past I mostly removed existing limits (for example the Favorites collection used to be limited). I will look into the editions - I am not super happy with it myself - the main issue is that IGDB sometimes doesn't list them, sometimes the editions have different releases or platforms so it makes proactive "hiding" them into main game bit problematic. I would appreciate more details about where in the app are the editions most bothering you. Best, Filip

Almost perfect app that checks nearly all my boxes!

This is a wonderfully designed app! I’ve literally researched and tried every video game related app and web based platform out there. This one has a sleek design, very reasonable one time purchase option if desired, tags (also a work around for creating custom lists), ability to follow developers as well as publishers to get updates when they release new games (which no one else seems to have!), wishlist reminders, industry event reminders, and widgets! I appreciate that this is NOT a social app like many other game apps are trying to be. We don’t need yet another place for amateur reviews and following strangers. You can rate games and see professional reviews though. You can also mark completion status.

The biggest thing missing for me is a way to export my collection to a spreadsheet or something like other apps offer. Is this planned? A way to connect to libraries like Steam, XBOX, and PlayStation would also be nice.

FYI the “Contact” button in the app appears to be broken and doesn’t do anything.

Response from developer

Hello, thank you for feedback and the kind words! The export would be possible - the main question is about the format I think. As for connecting Steam and other services - I would like to offer it at least for initial import but I believe only Steam offers "official" access and using workarounds is quite risky so I am not sure how to approach it. I will check the "Contact" button, it should open your default email client. Best, Filip

Good
