GAMEYE 12+

Great App, Very Useful

I have at least one console from every generation of consoles for the last 30+ years. I started a real push in collecting games a few years ago and have picked up hundreds of games since. This app is beyond useful in cataloging my library. Whether it’s a loose game, to a Complete In Box game, or anything in between, this app is awesome to use and helps you keep track of exactly what you have for each game. If I’m looking at a sale and can’t remember if I have an instruction booklet for a game, I can just reference the app. It’s really useful in quick price references for games, giving you a base to know if someone is overcharging for an item or not. I also really like that it gives breakdowns for the value of each console library in your collection and an overall total value for your collection as a whole.

Another option I enjoy is having the option to filter how you view your library. I will say I wish there were more options to view your collection, whether it is loose game, game + manual, CIB, etc. Also, I do wish there was some way to include pricing/price points for import games.

I absolutely recommend this app for anyone who has any sort of game collection. It is so user friendly with a number of great features.

Collector for 35+ years...

I collect for probably 25-30 different systems, including some weird ones, having been a collector for 35+ years now, and this app is probably the first that I’ve made a real effort to use and have confidence in. It’s well laid out, easy to use, and most importantly, the support/dev team genuinely listens when you have a suggestion/complaint/question/or notice something missing. Their customer service is outstanding, and they are CONSTANTLY working to make the app better and increase the library.

They might not have the wide-reaching rep that some other apps do, but that’s only because it’s still a hidden gem. So, go download it and start cataloging.

Trust me, from someone whose collection boarders on “hoarder-level”, you won’t be disappointed...

:) thank you for the review!

Great app

I think this is a great app to catalog and track your video game collection. There are a lot of options and filters for viewing. It provides a lot of direct and indirect information for detailed assessment, but is also a fantastic quick reference for pricing on the go.

I have three complaints with this app.

First, it downloads the entire encyclopedia of information about every game ever entered to the online database it uses. This should be an optional feature. I am a relatively small collector, and I simply don’t care about the information on tens of thousands of games for PC and consoles I’ve never heard of. For me it’s not just a waste, it’s kind of annoying to even have. I should be able to turn off this download, or at least delete out the parts I don’t want.

Second, the database and therefore the app includes hacks of games. While I’m sure some people like that, I only care about authentic games made by major studios. However, there’s no way to filter out hacked titles. When I do a search for Pokemon I only want to see Nintendo-approves games, but instead it pulls up those plus dozens of hacked versions that people programmed in their basements. It would be great to filter out those results.

Third, I’m unclear on when information and prices update, as the app sometimes has outdated prices. It would be cool if there were a refresh button to get updated prices.

Aside from that I really like the app, it’s for sure the best available for my own needs.

Hey Varanus, there will be significant filtering and data enhancements once the new database launches at www.gameye.app!

For the encyclopedia, you can’t delete chunks of it but if you don’t really care about that you can set the tab order in the settings to move out of the way.
