I think it’s missing a few things, like a page including most popular games and a page with genres of games to more easily discover games. ### 5/5 — Free version is GREAT *2026-07-20* You can have up to 500 games logged and tracked on this app. That’s wayyyy more than other similar tracking apps provide for free. I been testing over 7 game tracking apps and I believe this is the one. Clean ui and very simple interface. You can see it sorted from a-z or from ratings you give it from 1-10. It’s a lot better than the other ones because those can only let you track like 6-25 games for free which is nothing. This isn’t as limiting since 500 games is a lot for the average person to track and need. Thanks devs keep it like this. ### 5/5 — Wonderful App! *2026-07-08* Plenty of great features in this app! But not the main reason for this review, the main one is the fact that the dev(s) of this app are wonderful. They take feedback and implement it if it makes sense! Very cool, would recommend this app to anyone who has a large library of games or is looking to start collecting! ### 5/5 — Brilliant app *2026-06-06, version 4.2.3* Only thing that would make me subscribe is if there was a login and social side. Still 5 star. ### 1/5 — Pls read *2026-05-05, version 4.2.0* How to play game becuase i click blue play button and cant play ### 4/5 — Amazing but *2026-04-11, version 4.1.3* It’s really good and all my games are on there like sbmi mc earth pjsk etc but there’s no recommendation for games which would be cool so I can find games I can get or put in wishlist ### 5/5 — Афигеный *2026-04-11, version 4.1.3* Прикольный ### 5/5 — Great games library app! *2026-03-08, version 4.1.0* This is a great games library database and has a generous 500-game library limit for free. While there are other apps that are similar and have more import tools for different platforms, those apps often try to do too much and I’ve found that functions break when you attempt to manage games that you own on multiple platforms. Whereas this app has no import tools (Steam library import is included in the Pro version) but allows for easy manual adding which works great once set up, it has manual platform/storefront settings, custom reviews/notes sections, is simple and looks great, and generally does exactly what I need. The only thing it could add is the addition of customisable colour pallets and/or UI themes for the main library page, though again, I do like its simplicity. ### 5/5 — Love the update *2026-03-03* I ended up getting the lifetime membership based on the fact I open this app more than 50 times a day give or take. I’m obsessed with the category collections and have been graciously appreciative of this feature. I love the use of IGDB since I can continue to update artworks that are off ratio to keep this a visually, yet beneficial beautiful app ### 5/5 — Love it. Very clean, *2026-02-11* I understand the limit for this app. Only being 500. Maybe I might not ever reached that number, but truly love this app and I envy the developer’s education. I also discovered that they do use IDGB for a lot of the cover art, so I’ve been able to contribute high quality cover art for the app and it’s been a blessing .

WHAT'S NEW - Big Steam Libraries, Handled: your games are matched by Steam ID rather than guessed from their titles, so a library of several thousand imports in minutes. - A Results Screen Built For It: matches that need a look, and games we couldn't place, now sit at the top instead of below thousands of rows. Every section folds away, and the Add button stays put. - Search Finds Everything: games on Pro-only platforms used to return nothing at all. Now you'll see them, and what Pro would add. - Games You Own, Where You Expect Them: tap one in Similar Games or This Series and you land on your own page, not another tab. UNDER THE HOOD - Import tells you which stage it's on, how many games are done, and roughly how long is left. - Faster, more reliable cover art, cleaner layouts at large text sizes, and charts that no longer rely on colour alone. SQUASHED BUGS - Fixed a game showing up twice in the same section. - Fixed the wrong cover flashing on a card while artwork loaded. - Fixed Pro subscribers briefly hitting the free library limit at launch. Enjoying MyGames Database? A quick App Store rating helps a lot. ### 4.6.0 — 2026-08-17 A whole new look, built around your cover art — and a new Home Screen icon to go with it. WHAT'S NEW - Cover-Led Design: the app takes its colour from the artwork you're looking at, so every screen feels like the game you're in. - A Real Game Page: full-bleed hero artwork and a page rebuilt around it — your copies, the facts, the media and where to go next, each where you expect it. - All the Media Together: screenshots, trailers and artwork share one row, and one swipe takes you through the lot full screen. - A Native Tab Bar: the Liquid Glass tab bar iOS 26 gives you, readable over any cover, with each screen sliding in from its own side. - Collections With Covers: your Collections show their games' artwork edge to edge instead of a plain list. - Pro App Icons (Pro): six Home Screen icons — Classic and Graphite free, Gold, Crimson, Emerald and Violet for Pro. Pick yours under More. - Easier Multi-Platform Copies (Pro): search a game you already own and it shows the platforms you have it on, with Add Platform right there. - Quick Playtime Logging: log a session straight from any card, without opening the game first. - New games now land in Backlog instead of Playing, so Playing means what it says. UNDER THE HOOD - Text and icons scale properly with Dynamic Type across the app. - Text, badges and status marks are brighter and easier to read — in daylight, at low brightness, and at large text sizes. - Purchases retry instead of giving up, and Pro unlocks more reliably while your subscription is still being checked. - Fewer, clearer alerts the first time you open the app after updating. SQUASHED BUGS - Fixed a finger dragging across a copy's star rating silently changing that rating instead of scrolling the page. - Fixed game detail scrolling under the status bar, so the clock no longer sits on your text. - Fixed older games showing a release year one year early. - Fixed the recent searches list not growing, and the search bar jumping while results loaded. Enjoying MyGames Database? A quick App Store rating helps a lot. ### 4.5.2 — 2026-08-11 Your library stays exactly as you left it, on every device. UNDER THE HOOD - Safer syncing, your full library at launch, and edits that always land where you expect. - A clearer path to Pro, including purchases waiting on Ask to Buy. - Smoother Steam and CSV imports. Enjoying MyGames Database? A quick App Store rating helps a lot. ### 4.5.1 — 2026-08-10 The barcode scanner grew up — and search got a lot smarter. A bigger viewfinder, a flashlight for glossy cases, and results that actually match what you're looking for. WHAT'S NEW - Bigger Viewfinder: The live preview is now full-width with a barcode-shaped guide, so lining up a case is far easier than squinting at a tiny window. - Flashlight Toggle: Kill the glare on shrink-wrap and dark shelves without leaving the scanner. - Enter Barcode Manually: Can't get a clean scan? Tap to type the digits printed under the bars and look the game up anyway. - Clearer Camera Setup: The scanner now explains why it needs your camera before iOS asks, and if access is already off it takes you straight to Settings instead of leaving you stuck. - Out of Experimental: Scanning is no longer labeled experimental — it's a first-class way to add physical games. - Smarter Search: Search now understands accents, sequel numbers spelled either way, and packaging words, so a long title like "god of war ragnarok launch edition" finds Ragnarök instead of something that merely has "war" in the name. UNDER THE HOOD - Barcode lookups check several game databases in turn, and one slow or unavailable database no longer stops the rest — so more scans find a match. - Closing the scanner mid-lookup now cancels it cleanly, instead of dropping an unexpected title into your search. - Search is far lighter than it was, fetching a fraction of the data per query, and sweeping through platform filters now sends one request instead of one per tap. - VoiceOver reads the scanner screens properly, and the camera permission prompt is now translated in every supported language. SQUASHED BUGS - Fixed a serious sync bug where updating the app could remove games from your library — and spread that removal to your other devices. Loading your library no longer deletes anything, ever. - Launching without an internet connection no longer shows a false "subscription expired" alert or temporarily hides Pro sorting and filters. - Subscription status and prices now load more reliably on spotty connections. - Scanning with camera access turned off used to say "Scan failed. Please try again." — a retry that could never work. It now tells you what's wrong and how to fix it. - Granting camera access in Settings and coming back now works right away, with no need to relaunch the app. - A scanned game — or any long, wordy title — could come back with a completely unrelated game at the top of the results. - Scrolling past the first screen of results no longer appends an endless tail of popular games that have nothing to do with your search, and newly loaded results no longer shuffle the rows you're already reading. - Cancelling a search while it was still loading could leave the spinner spinning, and toggling platform filters quickly could leave the list showing results for a filter you'd already changed. Enjoying MyGames Database? A quick App Store rating helps a lot. ### 4.5.0 — 2026-08-05 Never miss a launch again — 4.5.0 adds release reminders and play nudges, free for everyone, plus widget improvements and a library that remembers how you left it. WHAT'S NEW - Release Reminders: Get a heads-up a week before a wishlist game launches, plus a reminder the morning it releases. Just add wishlist games with release dates and turn on notifications. - Play Nudges: A gentle heads-up when a game you're playing has been sitting idle for a while — at most once a week, never spammy. - Notification Controls: Turn each reminder type on or off anytime under More > Notifications. - Now Playing Widget: New pointers help you set up the free widget — your current games at a glance on your home screen — and now you can log a play session right from it, without opening the app. Pro adds one-tap timed sessions. - Upcoming Release Widget: A new Show Multiple Games option lets the widget count down several upcoming launches at once, instead of only the next one. - Your Library, As You Left It (Pro): Filters and sorting now stay put between launches, sync across your devices with iCloud, and survive a reinstall. - Smarter Status and Rating Sorting: Multi-platform games are now matched on any copy you own, so sorting and filtering by status or rating no longer overlooks a copy. - Sharper Release Dates: Game details now show exactly as much as we know — a day, a month, a quarter, or just a year — instead of guessing at a precise date. - Last Played: Show when you last touched each game on your customizable game cards. - Redesigned More Menu: The old dropdown is now a proper sheet that's easier to reach and navigate. UNDER THE HOOD - Cover art is now decoded once and shared across search, your library, game details, and fullscreen — less memory used, smoother scrolling, and a cleaner fullscreen zoom. - Reminders quietly stay up to date in the background, so they're accurate even when you haven't opened the app in a while. - Text now scales with your device's Larger Text setting again, so the app is easier to read at any size. - Improved crash reporting so we can find and fix issues faster. SQUASHED BUGS - Fixed two crashes on iOS 26 when opening certain sheets, including the platform picker from Search. - The active filter count is now legible at a glance. Enjoying MyGames Database?
