Keep track of your games and have them with you all the time using this app! The app "Inventory: Game Collection" allows you to keep track of the games you own. You can filter by platforms or status and create tags to further organise your collection. An import function makes transition from other solutions or spreadsheets easy. To make your games really stand out, "Inventory" has a sleek, non-intrusive design while offering essential features. When making it, I aimed for an experience that makes it fun to look at your collection and presents your games in a beautiful way. Adding your games is really easy, just use the search-feature and "Inventory" pre-fills information like the game's release date and cover image. Of course it's also possible to customise any information and add your own cover image. You can also do a bulk import of many games, using a CSV-file. If you already have cover images for your games, you can import them as well. This makes it easy for you to transition to this app from another solution or a spreadsheet you may already have. I want you to be in control of your data and not be locked-in with this app. That's why you can easily make a full backup of all your games to a simple spreadsheet, including cover images! If at any time you would rather switch to another solution, or want to make a backup of your data, just export it! All your games are synchronized to iCloud, so you can use the app across devices as well. FEATURES - Simple, sleek design. Looks nice in dark-mode and light-mode. - Two ways of looking at your collection: in a list (more information) and as tiles (bigger covers). - Search the internet when adding new games and pre-fill information. - Organise your collection by platforms, status or tags. - Add "moments" with cool screenshots you took or to note down your thoughts on a game. - Look back at previous years with the Rewind-feature and decide your game of the year! - Add metadata for the region of a game: Important for collectors! - Import lots of games through a CSV-file. - Stay in control of your data with the export-feature. - Use across devices with full iCloud sync. I plan to further improve the app and add more features. Please tell me any feedback or wishes you have and I'll try to include them. You can contact me via the app. PRICING The app is free and offers all features for adding up to five games. If you like the app, I'd appreciate if you would support development and server-costs by buying any of the included in-app purchases - you can choose yourself how much you want to pay. Any of them unlocks adding unlimited games.
