Player Experience Highlights
Community Insight:
The UI could be streamlined, specifically on game pages. This app has a very promising roadmap and Im really hoping this become the Letterboxd of video games.
It is simple and light and the community is still growing day by day.
Very accessible and easy to use. There are definitely some issues which can and should be improved on but it is always in development so.
We really love this app, the only part that could be better is onboarding. We have a tons of games that we already beaten but from the app it takes time to go one by one and add it.
Not gonna lie this app is pretty dang good and its a shame its not more popular. Doesnt seem to get much love on google or reddit but it deserves it. Certainly a work in progress but its got the bones for being the perfect game logging app. Hopefully letterboxd doesnt send a cease and desist.
Our friend was asking if there was a Letterboxd for video games, and wouldnt you know – this app delivered just what we wanted. We are in love with all the features and mechanics! The only thing missing is a large user base to get aggregate ratings on games more refined.
As someone who collects games, Ive come to the point where we go, wait, do we have this already? Love the easy list functions here and ability to review/follow people with similar gaming interests. Works very well, give it a try.
This app is cool at face value and its pretty convenient. We 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. We think they should look at Comic Geek and Serializd and Letterboxd and take inspiration. They have a cool road map which we didnt finish looking over but theres 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 peoples reviews. And, in our 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 us. We love seeing what everyone is playing and organizing our games by years and all that jazz. Its very satisfying.
Would give a 3.5 instead. Kinda slow and crashes sometimes, but its great when it does work. Id recommend it, we wish it worked better and had more features, but we understand why it doesnt, theres a lot of features letterboxd has that this doesnt.
This is so nice and easy to use. It just needs an iPad version.
Highly recommend if you want a place to track your video game collection, would love to see some additional features such as changing the cover art of your playlists, linking gaming accounts from game center, psn, xbox, steam, etc etc. And maybe even dates/timestamps. Other than that amazing app for anything gaming related :).
The app offers social and rating components to what is essentially a list. It looks like its built on the same platform as Serialized and Letterboxd. Its actually on the way to being quite good. However, Theyve started to add paywalls to basic features like having a wish list. $5 is something we would be happy to pay for substantive value, but thats just silly to charge for a core feature that is so basic. Especially when apps like Letterboxd are free and our social networks already show what Im up to gaming wise. Plus we have our Metacritic to share our reviews. Theyre 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 isnt quite there yet and the core features paywall is just annoying. Ill be keeping an eye on GG but for now Im looking for alternative options.
We really really like this app! Its got a very nice interface, some helpful features and a good amount of games are accounted for. Unfortunately, the app crashes very frequently. It crashes when attempting to submit a request for a new game, it crashes occasionally when we make a new list and at various other times as well. Ill continue to use it in the hopes this will be fixed, but eventually ill have to abandon it if it isnt.
We were with this app from very early on. But once the subscription service was added, at $5 a month no less, it just wasnt worth it. Like some have mentioned an initial purchase would be OK but thats outrageous for a game catalog app. Sad, because Ive checked out other apps, and this is our favorite, but just not worth paying that much.
We were super excited to hear about this because Im an avid listmaker and have a huge collection, but the app glitched every time we try to create a list. We 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). We would totally try this and probably love it after some changes though.
We got this to make nice lists of current and upcoming titles so we could share them for Christmas ideas or to show our friends what we could play together, but the price to do so is very very high. They are charging 4.99 a month for access to wishlist tab and ad free privilege plus other benefits and that is wayyyyy to much money for the convenience in our opinion. This would be a instant buy for a one time fee or a like .99 cent monthly sub but 50 dollars for a year even is insane. We will just go and find a cheaper alternative. Otherwise the app is responsive and has easy to understand ui. You can just make lists which is nice and kind of bypass some of the premium features, but its not really suited really well unless you pay. We can add games to what Im playing or our lists, but you have to refresh once after adding them if you havent closed the app. Not really a full app experience at the moment unless youre comfortable paying 4.99 a month. We didnt use the app for too long because everything unique and what its useful for is locked behind that subscription. We just cant afford to use our money for something like this that we can do ourselves or find cheaper alternatives between other apps. Sorry :(.
GG is a beautiful app and on paper it is just what we were looking for to keep track of the games we are playing and want to play. However, it feels like an overwhelming proportion of its features are behind the Elite paywall, which is prohibitively expensive given how we use this app. We cant even sort our buckets of games by title – its a shame that the free version of such a pretty app lacks basic functionality.
What has happened to this app? This used to be a 5/5 perfect experience for gamers like us. Now things just dont function for no reason. Cover art doesnt load. Searches fail. Add to a list doesnt show any of our lists. Its borderline unusable right now for us which is a shame. Ill add the second star because Ive loved this so much for years. Really hope it gets turned around. Thanks Covid.
The biggest features for us from Letterboxd is to see info at-a-glance about who made movies and the Diary to keep a good accurate record of when we watched things. Im sure this app is fine at what it does, but until it really has all the features of Letterboxd, we just cant see ourselves using it.
This app is so fun to use an definitely deserves more love. We completed our first full year with it and felt so accomplished looking over everything we beat and completed. The tracking is already top notch and everything else is an added bonus.
For a while we had tried a few different apps for tracking our backlog. None of them had all the features that we had wanted. After finding GG it is the only tracking app we have used.
Im a lifetime gamer, and gaming is a true passion of ours. However, life is busy, and being an adult can sometimes get in the way of that passion. Well, this app giving us the ability to track our backlog, also allows us to track our gaming accomplishments. Its so nice (and fluid) to have everything you want to digitally compile about your own personal gaming lists is aggregated into one place. Not to mention, the community aspect, reviews, and recommendations, are a great addition. Cant recommend this enough for any and all gamers from all walks of life.
Been using this app for a while now and absolutely love it. It could use some polishing but overall it works great. Its a small dev team but theyre extremely open to feedback and great at communicating. They continue to add to the app, add features, fix bugs, etc. Its terrific. Plus theres an awesome community on Discord. Cant wait to see how the app continues to grow.
GG app for games track is amazing but need to more features like:- 1- widget for iPhone to see what game date release in a daily basis and countdown games release. 2- notifications for games, When users added games to (want to play) section to then notify when games released. 3- more information for games genre. 4- numbers for how many games played games and (want to play) and other sections . This feature from GG Website.
Visually, this is the best game tracker. We wish sorting games alphabetically was an option and also a tab for backlog. Want to play is different to us in that we do not own it; whereas, backlog is owned but havent played.
Im so happy to have found this, and we think it could get even better than it is. Ive seen a lot of people say this is the Letterboxd of games and we couldnt have said it better. Its easy to use and keep track of things and the social aspect is fun. Although, there are more things Id like to see expanded upon (we might make a lot of comparisons to Letterboxd): -One thing is to be able to like and comment on reviews, as that would create more room for conversation and just make the social aspect more fun and help people meet and follow others who they enjoy -Another thing is a better search algorithm, because Ive seen a few people say and we agree that the title Im looking for is below many others -One more thing that we think would be fun is to include the credits for games (such as the director, composer, artists, etc.) so you could click on there name and see what else they have worked on and in what area, like in Letterboxd. We understand Im asking a lot but theres no rush. This app is going to be our new obsession and we cant wait to see it grow.
Running on an iPhone 7+ causes frequent app crashes.
We really like this. We just wish results would show up quicker when we searched for games. It takes way too long.
This is exactly what Ive wanted on our phone and Im glad to see it here and done so well.
The ability to write reviews, make lists, rank games, follow people, and have a simple Played,Beat,Playing,Abandoned system is great. Only things we would suggest are adding things like displaying the stars youve given games directly on your list, and the ability to add games to a list from within that list instead of needing to leave the list and go to the search tab.
Goodreads but for games. Exactly what we were looking for.
Let us say that Im really glad theres finally an app like Letterboxd for video games. Its really nice to have such cohesive lists and stuff, but its easy to see this is in a very early stage. The most prominent thing to add would be the ability to rate games out of 5 or 10, as that would add a better place for discussion and review. The search function can also be improved, as the game we search for is often far down the list of results, even after we type the exact title. But apart from those and lame loading times, we really enjoy this app and we really want to see it improve over time.
This app is useful but the problem is we don get why we want to play is either own and unown games. We would like separate category like owning the games and wishlist games on this app. We would rate it to 5 stars.
This is what Ive been looking for in an app and a website. Clean UI, simple and easy to use, large catalog of games and information. What we would like to be added however: – the ability to edit what games are in your list from WITHIN the list we.e. You can add games from the list rather than having to go to the game page and THEN adding it to the list of choice (both on the mobile and desktop versions). – the ability to add data to a game entry we.e. What platform you played/bought it on (PS4, XB1, Steam, GOG etc) – Profile picture that isnt a gravatar Overall great app and cant wait to be adding more and more content to it and using it for years.
We love using Letterboxd for movies, its an obsession of ours. Ive been looking an app like that for games for a while. This is the closest experience to Letterboxd we could find. The design is great. We would like to see some more sorting options in the future. Being able to sort by year or console would greatly help in cataloging games. We would also like to see support for lists. We want to be able to rank console libraries or games of the year. Lastly we need a review system.
-Its just what we were looking -Would like a rating system like Letterboxd -Would like the ability to review games -Wish the year of the game was more apparent -When searching for a game like Half-Life 2, all of the expansions or side games come up first. Wish the main game showed up first.
We want to start by saying this is probably the best app of its kind; free from the bugs of other similar apps, an attractive user interface, and useful features. However, there are a number of things that could use some improvement. First and foremost, the search results need a better algorithm. When you search for a game it usually comes far down the search results list below a bunch of less pertinent content. There needs to be an algorithm that sorts the search results by relevancy. Second, the option to rate games. We think adding the option to add a rating for games you have played would be a useful feature that many users would be interested in. Lastly, sorting of lists. There is currently no function in which you can sort your lists which we find to be frustrating because we would like to have our collection sorted alphabetically. Adding in a sorting (and possibly filtering) function would go a long way to help users organize their collection.
Ive been looking for an app like this for years and am happy to say the search is over! Its a beautifully laid out UI, with all the pertinent data, and organizational functions we had wanted. Two thumbs up – would recommend.
Our friend put us onto this while we were live on our podcast (Cross Circle #24 on Playstation Source YouTube Channel) and absolutely love it! Cannot wait to see what updates come to the app in the future very well done. Will continue to talk about this on the podcast for sure.
The developer understands gamers need for a tool to make wish lists, backlogs and a way to keep track of all those wonderful games.
This app is awesome. We just want a way to order the items on our lists, and then Ill have no complaints.
This app is easy to use and very helpful. It would be awesome if in a future update play hours was added so you can see how much youve played each games and total hours youve played games.
We jump around from game to game often and often forget to finish them. We love the way GG categorizes and lets us track our progress. It also reminds us to go back and finish games we forgot about. Great app.
Seems cool but needs a rating system. 1-5 stars with half stars a la Letterboxd would be fantastic.
On iPhone 6+ running iOS 12.1.2, can't have the app running for more than 10 minutes without it crashing. Other than that bug it's a decent app, good interface, easy to use, up to date with all games on all platforms. We needed a good app to keep track of all the games we have and want to play and this is the best one we've found and we will continue to use it, but it needs an update to fix the crashes.
It only needs to add notifications for games release date.
After learning about this from the developer himself, we signed up and now we're hooked. We have it on both our apple and android devices and it'll be super helpful for killing the backlog on our youtube channel. THANKS CHARLES.
GG| helps you kill that backlog, keep track of what to play next and connect with other gamer friends. Im stoked to see the upcoming features.
Much like when we started to use Letterboxd early on, we think this app has a lot of potential. It was clearly inspired by Letterboxd and Id like to see some future features that take from that experience to here. Something Id like to consider be implemented is selecting which platforms for the games you played. We would also like for there to be some kind of implementation of a stats like feature like Letterboxd does that recaps your year of playing games with different stats such as categories, playing time, etc. We think there are some QOL things that can help boost the app as well. Sometimes things dont load right and lists can be a bit cumbersome to put together. All in all, lots of potential and Im considered subscribing to receive any new features sooner. Wish the developers the best (from someone who has longed for this kind of app since Raptr shut down.).
