### 4/5 — Back button crashes the app still

*2022-12-09, version 3.5.2*

New release/update has caused app to crash when using the back button after selecting a game.

### 4/5 — Game not listed

*2021-06-19, version 1.42*

Can you add a feature where you can add a game not listed? As well as upload custom photos? Thanks

### 4/5 — Has EVERYTHING, but the UI could use some work

*2020-08-17, version 1.42*

I picked this app because it has everything I could want. EVERYTHING. But sometimes When I enter a sub screen, the menu disappears and I have to exit the app and re enter. Also, i feel like the UI is missing something. Needs more flare. I’d love to see more analytics on my collection.

### 4/5 — Needs to include Europe!

*2019-07-06, version 1.42*

Console games are worldwide, so it would make sense to pull some international data into your database. 
Would also be nice to be able to just add multiple games in one go for when you are starting off adding your collection. I’ve got 200+ PS2 games, all boxed, all instructions. I have to add each one individually, unless I’ve missed something?

### 3/5 — It’s a good app but

*2019-06-08, version 1.42*

It’s a good app and has a good set up and system going for it but it crashes a lot and is missing a few older games as far as I could find. New releases need to be updated a little bit more frequently as well honestly it’s good for keeping track of what you have but not it’s not reliable enough.

### 4/5 — Bog love but......

*2019-05-18, version 1.42*

I Love this App, but we get no Updates for new Games of priceupdates. 
Pls update it and i give 5stars

### 3/5 — Cool, but needs some work!!

*2019-05-03, version 1.42*

The app is useful and cool, but there is some things that need to be fixed/worked on: 

-CRASH! The app crashes unexpectedly often.. really annoying.
-No settings or menu to chose your country for currency 
-Most games seem there, but just now I found that it seems that most Tom Clancy’s game are missing.. why? 
-It would be great to be able to remove consoles and accessories from the lists. I think most people (I might be wrong?) like myself want to use it to track their game collection only.

### 4/5 — Crash fest

*2019-04-06, version 1.42*

It’s nice but keeps crashing. Really annoying

### 5/5 — Best Retro Game Database

*2019-03-17, version 1.42*

I got the app only recently, but its getting improved with every release - very impressive. Very simple to use and lots of content included. I also like that it works offline and i can import/export my collection data via iPhone Files app.

### 5/5 — Great app by needing a major update keeps on crashing

*2019-02-16, version 1.2*

Great app but keeps on crashing and doesn’t load anymore please update!!!!

### 1/5 — Not working

*2024-02-21, version 3.5.2*

Will not start up, doesn’t work

### 1/5 — Always crashes

*2022-11-09, version 3.5*

Used to love this app but since updating it never loads up anymore. Tried deleting/re-downloading etc

### 1/5 — All data lost

*2020-12-27, version 1.42*

So from functioning perfectly well, suddenly my many thousands of logged games have disappeared.
Thanks for that!

### 1/5 — not great

*2020-09-28, version 1.42*

The idea is good, but there are so many games missing it’s impossible to log your whole collection. Wouldn’t recommend

### 1/5 — Bull crap

*2019-04-13, version 1.42*

I had over 200 items listed valued at well over $2000 and the app just deleted EVERYTHING. DO NOT USE THIS APP.

### 2/5 — App Ende Juni 21 gekauft

*2021-06-29, version 1.42*

Hi
Wird die App noch aktualisiert 
Ich finde leider nicht alle spiele 
Des Weiteren gibt es ps4 aber keine pal section 
Fehlende spiele kann man auch nicht anheile hinzufügen oder habe ich die Funktion nicht gefunden 
Der Wert wird nur in Dollar angezeigt und die App ist komplett in englisch wird das noch verändert ? 
Wenn das ganze nicht passiert ist die App leider für mich nicht einsetzbar

### 2/5 — It was a great app!

*2019-10-18, version 1.42*

This was a great app, but it DESPERATELY needs an update for its games. I buy, sell, and trade games and I need a dependable app. Once the app is updated I will give five stars. The creator of the app is an awesome guy!!!

### 3/5 — Great for International Gamers

*2021-11-11, version 2.4.1*

RetroChecker is perhaps too complicated for its own good. It’s so frustrating to seek out the US Canada version of every game. If there was a filter, I think it could go a long way in helping overcome this issue.

It also lags quite a bit because of the large amount of info. It also doesn’t seem to be updated. Therefore, there is much to improve on, but that doesn’t mean it isn’t a good app.

I think people from the international community will love it because it has Pal versions first. Perhaps the creator of the app is in Europe.

I think for NTSC collectors like myself should use GameEye. This one is simply easier to use for those of us that are not PAL gamers.

### 3/5 — Good but lacking options

*2020-04-26, version 1.42*

Could really do with options for scaling, using this on a iPad and the text is really small. No option for conversion to other currencies.

### 3/5 — No export

*2019-06-09, version 1.42*

Great app, but if it had an export/import function it’d be a 5/5.  The list of games is too long and complex to not have a backup and restore feature, even if it’s just to CSV.

### 5/5 — Great video game value tracker

*2024-08-03, version 3.5.2*

Really love this app to keep track of the value of all my games, super user friendly!  Would love to see an update sometime soon, but totally understand if not considering it is free!

### 5/5 — RetroChecker

*2022-08-15, version 3.4.1*

I love how easy it is to use and find any game that I’m looking for  the only thing I would add to RetroChecker is to scan a barcode and to change what currency you are using (ie from US dollars to English pounds) but apart from that really enjoying it and would recommend to other retro collectors

### 5/5 — Really is great but…

*2022-07-28, version 3.3.3*

This really is a great app. As I’ve used it more a few more features would make it better

an arrow to quickly jump back to the top
filter hardware
Mentioned previously iCloud or drive support
When sorting by name it still groups the order by console. Would be great to have the option to remove the console grouping

### 5/5 — Great to have!

*2022-05-18, version 3.1.9*

For a casual game flipper, this is really nice to have. Easy to find games and has a good size database. Would love if it included PC games but otherwise really like it

### 5/5 — Ich liebe diese App

*2021-11-03, version 2.3.1*

Ich hoffe es werden weiterhin tolle Updates kommen. Danke fürs fixen der letzten Probleme.

### 5/5 — Retro checker

*2020-10-04, version 1.42*

An absolute must for any serious video game collector who still shops around for games at stores.

### 5/5 — Great potential, but needs improvement

*2020-05-18, version 1.42*

I really enjoyed the app at first, but then some time after I had entered my whole collection, everything just got deleted...

### 5/5 — Outstanding

*2020-01-28, version 1.42*

One small change is like to see is the ability to hide prices in the list. Given the small amount of screen real estate and the length of most game titles this would be a big help.

 Aside from that this is what these apps should be. A database I can select games from, not some stupid list app where I have to search for everything, like anyone can remember every game title ever released.

### 5/5 — Great app

*2019-11-26, version 1.42*

Combines easy search with collection values and a huge database. I use it all the time. The only thing it’s missing is a want list, so I use ‘favorites’ as an improvised want list. Best free cartridge collecting app.

### 5/5 — working great

*2019-03-23, version 1.42*

This update 142 does not work app opens then closes.

iPhone 7,  256gb,  iOS 12.1.4

Update to my review. 

After your response about maybe it’s my install, I have deleted then reinstalled still not working, next I rebooted device and now it’s working thanks for your quick response. 

Absolutely love this app keep up your great work.
