I love the features that you have in this, no ads, no bloat, happy to support you. ### 5/5 — Really solid game tracker *2025-04-29, version 2.3.2* Winston is a very good game tracker. It’s got a good, clean design, and has pretty much all the features you’re looking for. It’s also a pretty good deal that you can use it for free, and the premium features are just a lifetime unlock for the cost of a nice coffee. ### 5/5 — ITAD integration would push this over the top *2025-03-01, version 2.2.2* Please integrate with IsThereAnyDeal and/or PSPrices, that would make this app indispensable for both games I want to watch for price drops and games I want to follow progress and release dates for. ### 2/5 — Nice concept but the worst ui *2025-03-01, version 2.2.2* This app seems to be a great concept but the UI is just horrible!! No preview images of the games on the main screen, etc. I think is better to have a global search over the main screen so you can select all the games that you want and then add it to your lists by selecting them. Tip: there is an app that is called movix so you can see the ui implementation and my point. Please check it out! Regards @JRGN ### 5/5 — Best game tracking app I've used! *2025-01-22, version 2.2* Winston is the first game tracking app I've used that I'm truly happy with (and I've used a lot of other apps for this)! It has nearly all the features and details that I want, laid out in a way that's easy to get around. It has a great level of detail when viewing a game. Related games, DLCs, etc., plus useful links like Wikia, Steam, and so on. I can add a score to a game and see how other players scored it, which is missing in many other apps. Notes will be handy for games that involve a lot of backtracking (Metroidvania). This may not sound like a big deal, but navigating the app feels like a normal iOS app; it's easy to move around between different games and sections of the app, both on iPhone and iPad. This is a major issue for me with some other game tracking apps. I'm excited to see what comes next in Winston! ### 5/5 — Great App! *2024-06-07, version 1.6.2* I was looking for something that was simple to use and this works great! I checked out your TV/Movie App as well, its equally good for tracking upcoming stuff. Thank you! ### 5/5 — Well designed game tracking app *2024-06-01, version 1.6.2* Works amazingly on both my phone and tablet ### 5/5 — WINSTON DEV IF YOU’RE READING THIS THANK YOU!! *2024-05-14, version 1.6.2* one of the most useful apps ever best part is no ADS!! bought the pro version even though i don’t need it because i genuinely love this app. THANK YOU WINSTON DEV!! ### 5/5 — Fantastic app with native iOS UI and responsive dev *2024-05-14, version 1.6.2* Really great app for game tracking - love the simple native iOS UI which isn’t overly busy and helps performance run perfectly as well as a responsive dev who adds new features constantly My two dream features for this app to be perfect would be: 1) a wishlist function separate from lists (so that games on your wishlist don’t get added to your “library” the way they currently are) 2) for lists to save sorting - currently you can sort them by release date, title, etc., but it reverts to the default sorting by date added whenever you refresh the app ### 5/5 — Great app to track games in lists *2024-03-02, version 1.5.2* I wish I could sort lists by their IGDB rating and I wish I could display the and filter by platforms in custom lists too. ## Frequently asked questions about Winston the Video Game Tracker ### What does Winston do?
