Lately hasn’t been able to read any information from the website besides my friends and recent users. ### 1/5 — Broken *2023-08-28* Doesn’t work ### 2/5 — And it’s broke again. *2023-05-08* TRIPLE EDIT. Aaannd everything broke again lol Nothing loads on the home page except progress. If you click on recent games or achievements, it’ll load but trying to go to any game gets you a 404 error. ### 5/5 — The app is great, add a feedback button *2023-03-09* Just wanted to say the app is awesome and I’m excited to use it while achievement hunting. Two suggestions: First, I’d recommend adding in a feature request button somewhere in the app. Second, it would be nice to be able to tap on an achievement and see the posts/comments associated with that specific achievement. Some achievements state they there are rules or additional information in the achievement comments and you have to read them to get more information in how to get the achievement. Take care! ### 4/5 — Works except for progress and mastered *2023-01-10, version 1.0.2* Everything works and looks great except for progress. Very nice work though. ### 5/5 — Deserves more attention *2022-11-19* This is an absolutely beautifully created, and intuitively designed way to interact with retro achievements. I’d love to see more people talking about this app. It feels official — great work! ### 5/5 — Aesthetic and functional at the same time! *2022-10-11* Compared to alternatives this was the most functional app, granted it does require you to login unlike the others. Everything is visually consistent and masterfully designed with just minor pain points. 1. Tapping a cover art is not the same as tapping the game name, maybe have the animation happen then take me to the game page? 2. Lack of comments, which often provide insight on some achievements. Would it be possible to either embed a webview instance or open in browser, the discussion forums for any set? **Developer response:** That's a great idea! In the meantime, in this version of the app you are able to visit the web page of any game and achievement. For games you can by tapping on the "..." button in the top right of the game page or force pressing a game row or card. For achievements you can by tapping the "..." button in the achievement row or by force pressing the row. The button "Open in browser" will open it up in your preferred browser on your device. Thanks for using my app and for the feedback! ### 5/5 — Won’t load much of the info for me *2022-07-08* Every section just has a spinning progress bar except for the Progress section. So I know it CAN pull info for my games, but I’m not sure why the other sections won’t load. Love the appearance and layout from the screenshots though! Edit: Developer fixed whatever the issue was, now the app loads information for each section! **Developer response:** Thank you so much! Your review helped me find and fix the bug you were talking about. I hope your experience is much smoother. ### 5/5 — Great app, glad this exists! *2022-05-14* Very well made, easy way to access the RA site data. Beats logging in each time and looks great. ### 5/5 — Smooth tracking experience! *2022-05-11* Great to organize all of my gaming achievements in the same place! Fantastic saturation of color and imagery. Fun to use! ## Frequently asked questions about Retro Joy ### What is Retro Joy? Retro Joy is a companion app for RetroAchievements.org.
