GamePanda keeps every game you own in one library. Link PlayStation, Xbox and Steam and your games arrive on their own: purchases, subscription titles, and the trophies and achievements you have already earned. Add discs, cartridges and anything else by hand, and they sit alongside the rest instead of being forgotten. ONE LIBRARY, EVERY PLATFORM Digital, physical and subscription titles together. Remasters, remakes and ports collapse under the game they belong to, so a collection reads like a collection instead of a list of duplicates. TROPHIES AND ACHIEVEMENTS THAT KEEP THEMSELVES CURRENT PlayStation trophies, Xbox achievements and Steam achievements in one place, refreshed in the background so progress is already there when you open the app. KNOW WHEN A GAME GETS CHEAPER Watch any game and GamePanda tells you when the price drops. That is the only time it will interrupt you. A BACKLOG YOU MIGHT ACTUALLY FINISH Tap to move a game from Backlog to Playing to Completed. Hold to park it. Challenges count what you finish across every console you own. DISCOVER WHAT TO PLAY NEXT Browse new releases, deals and what is worth playing on each platform. GAMEPANDA+ UNLOCKS MORE Unlimited collections instead of one. A game's whole price history instead of 30 days. A calendar of everything you are waiting for, and a notification the day one of them ships. Check any store region on any game, and change your own whenever you like. Link a second (or more) account(s) per platform. Install to your console and check its storage from your phone. See what your subscriptions gave away in past months. And choose exactly what counts as a deal, instead of just "on sale." And many more features to come!

GameChest
Read full descriptionHide full description
Save the games you spot, in seconds. GameChest is your game backlog, wishlist and collection, kept in a chest in your own cozy pixel room. You see a game in a clip, on a page or on a friend's screen, and by tomorrow the name is gone. Search it, share the link, scan the box or snap the cover, and it lands in your chest together with where you found it. Collect. Play. Remember. ADD IT TO YOUR CHEST IN SECONDS • Tap the magnifying glass and search the game catalog as you type • Share a post or page from another app straight to GameChest, or paste a link • Scan the barcode on a game box • Read the title from a cover photo or screenshot. The text recognition runs on your device. Nothing is saved until you have checked the details. The link where you found the game stays with the entry. YOUR DASHBOARD AT A GLANCE • Your next game, your favorites and your games by status • Ask Till what to play, right from your dashboard • New releases and popular games to explore A CHEST THAT GROWS WITH YOU • Your collection is a chest in a top-down pixel room. It grows in seven stages, from Empty Crate to Legendary Chest, and deleting a game never shrinks it. • Walk your companion through the room. The shelf shows what you are playing and what is waiting, and you change a status with one tap. • Decorate the room your way. New decor unlocks as your collector level grows. • Sit down at the computer to discover games in an endless feed of cards with covers, screenshots and trailers. • Step through the door into your own video store with shelves, a bargain bin and a counter. Nothing is for sale here; it is where your next search starts. • Behind the back door, the flea market sets out crates of games to dig through. PLAY IT, RATE IT, SHARE IT • Mark games as Want to play, Playing, Completed or Dropped, and rate them with stars • Play tonight suggests at most three games from your own chest • Chest stats show your games per console, genres, status, ratings and what you added and finished each year • Turn a game into a Memory Card, or share your whole chest as an image or as a link. A link lasts 30 days and you can stop sharing at any time. Your discovery links stay private. • Open a friend's link to browse their chest and stats, and add the games you like to your own. No friend list and no public list. • Talk to Till, the AI clerk of your video store, about what to play next. He knows your chest and the game catalog. • Your collector level grows as you collect, play, finish and rate. Trophies fill the trophy cabinet in your profile (and in your room with Plus). Nothing expires, no streaks, no pressure. FREE AT ITS CORE Searching games by name, saving, finishing, rating and sharing are free and unlimited. Link imports, camera finds and Till's answers come with free tries. You sign in with your email address, so your collection stays safe in your account. You can delete your account in the app or on our website at any time. GAMECHEST PLUS (OPTIONAL) Plus gives you more link imports, camera finds and Till answers. It adds photo AI that recognizes covers your phone can't read, only after you agree, plus 8 more characters, the Golden Arcade and Gold Foil Memory Card styles and all Plus room items. Saving, finishing, rating and sharing stay free and unlimited without it. Choose a monthly or a yearly subscription; the yearly plan can start with a free week where offered. Payment is charged to your Apple Account when you confirm the purchase (after the free week, if one applies). The subscription renews automatically unless it is cancelled at least 24 hours before the end of the current period. Manage or cancel it in your Apple Account settings. A companion you picked and elements you placed stay with you after Plus ends.
