Every game you own, in one place, and a good answer to what to play next. Sign in with Steam, Xbox, or PlayStation and Pocket Backlog brings your whole collection across in one go. NEW IN 1.5: READY FOR IPHONE DUO - Open your iPhone Duo and the Library spreads across both screens: Now Playing as a Cover Flow, a countdown to your next must-play, and your Gamedex beside it - The Gamedex becomes the Dex: one finished game on show on the left, every finish in a numbered grid on the right - Your Wishlist and the Releases calendar use both screens too - On every iPhone and iPad, the Library now opens on a stage that takes its color from the game you're playing - Counting down to a must-play? While you wait suggests a game from your backlog you can finish before it lands START WITH WHAT YOU ALREADY OWN - Import from Steam, Xbox, and PlayStation: choose what comes across, and import again later to pick up only what's new - Achievements and trophies come along, so you can see how far along you are in each game - Not on those? Pick a platform and check off the games you own, or search the IGDB catalog and add one with a tap SORTED FOR YOU, NOT SHOUTED AT - Organize reads your trophies and playtime and suggests what looks finished or never really started. Nothing changes until you say so - Your backlog sorts itself onto shelves: nearly done, barely touched, the genres you collect. Build your own and pin your favorites - Pick for Me finds something that fits the time you have tonight FINISH THINGS, AND SEE THEM - Every game you finish becomes a card in your Gamedex - Rate games your way, from Uninstalled to Masterpiece, and share a review slip with your verdict - Check-ins ask how the game you're on is going: stay on it, finish it, or set it aside - A Recap every month, and your Year in Gaming each December ALWAYS KNOW WHAT'S COMING - The Releases calendar shows the next twelve months, and your wishlist gets a nudge on release day - Discover is a Cover Flow of popular games: skip, wishlist, or add each one, with Undo if you change your mind FREE AND PRO Import, Organize, shelves, ratings, Recaps, Releases, and the Gamedex are free.
