*2025-12-09, version 2025.11.29*

Simple idea that solves such a huge problem!

### 5/5 — Amazing!

*2025-12-09*

This will be a great help for JRPG’s! I always get lost when using IGN etc and the webpages always refresh. Love this app and its so well done.

### 5/5 — Absolutely Fantastic

*2025-12-09, version 2025.11.29*

This is an excellent app. The user interface is very clean and friendly while being super easy to use. I am continually impressed by the app and would highly recommend it to anyone who loves to play games.

### 5/5 — This app is amazing!

*2025-12-09, version 2025.11.29*

Loved your YouTube video and agree with so many of your issues which led to you creating this app. This app has been amazing and works so well, super easy to use. Having my game guides on demand without having to dig around gamefaqs each time is going to save me so much time. Thank you so much!

### 4/5 — Cannot add some games

*2026-02-28*

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!

**Developer response:** 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.

### 4/5 — Great, but not perfect.

*2025-12-29, version 2025.11.29*

I really enjoy this app but i can’t always find a game I’m looking for when i search for a game (i.e. Ultima VII). Any way you can allow us to just directly paste a gfaqs url into the application for these moments?

### 5/5 — A surprising accidental find!

*2026-04-30, version 2025.11.29*

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!

### 5/5 — Great, handy tool

*2026-03-19, version 2025.11.29*

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.

### 5/5 — Cannot add some games

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

### 5/5 — Great companion app for gaming

*2026-02-05, version 2025.11.29*

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

### 5/5 — Exceptional

*2026-01-13, version 2025.11.29*

A must have application, the fact it remembers the place on the guide without you having to scroll and find it again is next level. The simplicity of this app is what takes it to another level. Perfect app for anyone wanting to 100% a game.

### 5/5 — Amazing!

*2026-01-03, version 2025.11.29*

Such a killer app if you’re a gamer. Love being able to save a guide and have my placement saved. No longer losing my spot to a tab refresh on my iPad!

### 5/5 — incredibly useful

*2025-12-17, version 2025.11.29*

i love video games and i miss guides, this is a very efficient way to read them while playing a game and pretty nostalgic too, the dev did a great job

### 5/5 — Amazing app for retro game players

*2025-12-12, version 2025.11.29*

If you like playing retro games and want to have an app for finding and managing your game guides, this is  definitely the go-to one.

### 5/5 — Great so far. Needs 1 UI fix

*2025-12-10, version 2025.11.29*

App works well. Hard to exit out of guides on iPad Mini, as the status bar overlaps.

### 5/5 — Simple, useful, free!

*2025-12-10, version 2025.11.29*

A great app for anyone who is constantly opening Safari tabs for walkthroughs and constantly having to re-open them when they get closed, overwritten, or buried. Quick access to straightforward information. It doesn’t do much, but it does it well. I do have ONE feature request though, which would be for the ability to add your own bookmarks/table of contents to TXT or other unlinked guides. For example, being able to mark where the Walkthrough and Equipment sections begin for easy repeat access and navigation. Remembering your place helps, but it would be useful for those who need to jump around.
