User reviews

A surprising accidental find!

I’m just happened to search for a game guide and walkthrough app and came across this new release, and man, it’s great! I highly recommend it!

Great, handy tool

Works as intended, simple and clean. Easy to manage multiple games separately.

Would like to be able to add a Notes section per game where I can type in.

Additionally, it would be nice if images could be uploaded, so I can save maps alongside the text guide.

Cannot add some games

I cannot add LeafGreen or FireRed and there is no other place I can find to contact the author. I will change my review to 5* if we can debug why it cannot find these games!

Changed my review as promised at the Dev responded and provided a work around. I appreciate it!

Response from developer

the api i am relying on sadly does not list those games. as a workaround for now just select any Pokémon game returned and then when you get to gamefaqs update your search there and it should find it. then you can rename the game once its saved in the interface. the only other way i can think to solve it is to add a manual entry options - which i will look to add soon.

Great companion app for gaming

What a great game especially for retro games. It’s simple and just works. The GameFaqs searching is phenomenal.
