GG|

I looked around for a while for a game backlog app. This is the most polished and useful one I could find!

The UI could be streamlined, specifically on game pages. This app has a very promising roadmap and I’m really hoping this become the Letterboxd of video games

You can’t add games to your wishlist without SUBSCRIBING. Tried to add a game to a list and it straight up does not work. Lazily made cash grab app.

This app is cool at face value and it’s pretty convenient. I think it has potential to be the Comic Geek of gaming. But they should add support for library collection which would include allowing gamers to choose if they own to game and if they own it for multiple different systems and how much the games were purchased for and if you beat them for each system or shelved one. I think they should look at Comic Geek and Serializd and Letterboxd and take inspiration. They have a cool road map which I didn’t finish looking over but there’s so much that could make this app one of the best to exist. Better than IGN playlist even. Also add half stars or point scales. Pleeeeease

itd be really cool if we could comment on other people’s reviews. and, in my experience, ive noticed you cant use the app on mobile data. you have to be connected to wifi. fix those two things and its a 10/10 from me. i love seeing what everyone is playing and organizing my games by years and all that jazz. its very satisfying

I was with this app from very early on. But once the subscription service was added, at $5 a month no less, it just wasn’t worth it. Like some have mentioned an initial purchase would be OK but that’s outrageous for a game catalog app. Sad, because I’ve checked out other apps, and this is my favorite, but just not worth paying that much

Keeps crashing

You can’t do anything without paying for premium, letterbox is free in every function.

The app offers social and rating components to what is essentially a list. It looks like it’s built on the same platform as Serialized and Letterboxd. It’s actually on the way to being quite good. However, They’ve started to add paywalls to basic features like having a wish list. $5 is something I would be happy to pay for substantive value, but that’s just silly to charge for a core feature that is so basic. Especially when apps like Letterboxd are free and my social networks already show what I’m up to gaming wise. Plus I have my Metacritic to share my reviews. They’re asking for the same amount as a Crunchy roll subscription or YouTube Red to take a few features being fuflfilled elsewhere and putting them in one spot. Unfortunately the value just isn’t quite there yet and the core features paywall is just annoying. I’ll be keeping an eye on GG but for now I’m looking for alternative options.

I was super excited to hear about this because I’m an avid listmaker and have a huge collection, but the app glitched every time I try to create a list. I totally understand needed to have a payment option but theres way too many features that really should be free (profile backgrounds, wishlist and backlog features). I would totally try this and probably love it after some changes though!
