Abandoned?

This app appears to have been abandoned sometime over the last 90 days. No new games updates, three emails to support without reply. New physical games are not being updated. Love it for the collection, but failing to keep new releases online from Amiibo to home consoles is letting my collection fall out of date. Not sure if it’s going away or not but that would be a bummer. Beware if you download this and invest hours into adding your collection.

Game values no longer update

I have an incredibly large collection that spans across many different platforms. At one time this app would update the game values. But no matter how many times I refresh, the games values stay the same. This issue has been like this for several weeks now! Please FIX THIS!

No retro update

No retro update since a long time, no response to messages ! It would be the best app of that kind if so

Still supported ?

Is the site still supported or not ? It has been 4 months without an update.
I need to know if I should keep paying for a subscription that delivers something real !?

Great app, poor support

The app is easy to use, and has a pretty robust database, but the support has truly gone downhill. When I send messages regarding new games to add, or correct, I’m getting ignored. Atari has returned with new releases twice a year, and the folks at PureGaming.org are not adding them, even after I point them out. The Atari 8-bit and TI99/4A databases have issues, and my requests to correct have been ignored. For what I’ve paid, these requests should be taken seriously. One nice feature is that I can add games to the app myself, but the app does not retrieve the values for user added games, which is why these guys need to be on top of this.

Decent App. The new paywall is absurd.

I’ve used this app for years. They charged a fee per platform, which I payed. With the new platforms you can no longer buy them a la carte. Instead they want a subscription or a one time fee for everything even the dozens of platforms I’ve already purchased. Changing the fee structure this late in the game seems a tad greedy. Otherwise the app works pretty well.

THEY ERASED MY ENTIRE COLLECTION!

I spent months adding all of my games to my collection on the app and everything was fine, great, but today I logged in and everything is just gone. They completely wiped my account, every game, every bit of detail I painstakingly added is erased. DO NOT USE THIS APP IF YOU CARE AT ALL ABOUT PRESERVING ALL THE EFFORT IT TAKES TO DOCUMENT YOUR COLLECTION!!! THEY WILL WIPE IT ALL WITH NO NOTICE OR REASON!

PS2 / ps3 Japanese locked behind paywall

I love this app. But I’m not happy with the ps2 and ps3 Japanese lists behind a $79 paywall. I want to be able to purchase what I want. And I do not want to subscribe monthly either.

Disappointment

I wanted to backtrack and put in my collection, but it kept saying I could say I collect one console for free and I had to pay for everything else. And, I selected Switch only for me to log Mario Kart 8 Deluxe and then it said I hadn’t made a collection and kept showing me deals of eBay! As if I’m going to buy a game I SAID I ALREADY HAD with 2 other average switch games for over $500. What a disappointment.

Bad App

I couldn’t play a Game

Lohnt sich

Auf jeden fall sein Geld wert. Keine Ahnung warum hier immer alle so weinen müssen wenn sie ein paar Euro ausgeben müssen?!?
Diese app hat es in sich, hat alles was man braucht in einer app !!

Amazing!

Honestly one of the best apps I've used! My only suggestion is to improve the UI a bit because sometimes it seems a bit counterintuitive. It's by no means a deal breaker and I've gotten used to it for the most part, but figured I'd throw it out there. Subscription price is also extremely reasonable.

Thanks for the lovely app!

I don't see the point tbh.

I'm gonna make this short and simple. I don't know what's the point of this when you can't even play any of the games. All you can do is view game images and see a collection of old games. I searched up "game emulators" on the app store and for some reason this popped up.

Бесполезно

Бесполезно, всё платно.

No ZX Spectrum

Where is the greatest computer ever.
I need to log my ZX spectrum games

Great app

I’ve used it for years to keep track of my Sega genesis games. It’s the best on the market and well worth the money.

Que é isso

Isso é paga pra jogar é melhor baixar outros emuladores online que é gratuito

Pointless

As someone with at least 100 discs id rather just look through my collection than pay a fee to see that i own them in a stupid app

Consoles only

Good in principal but console only. I’d use the app if it had Commodore 64 and Amiga.

Fantastic App!

I’ve been using this app for my collection the past couple years. Having built an app myself I appreciate the craftsmanship and simplicity. I have no doubt this app will be acquired in the future.
