The stats could also show games finished multiple times, game that is the longest in your wishlist and similar.

"Tracking game sessions" would be live timer on your phone and once the game is finished you could see how much time it took and perhaps this could be tied to stats

Two features I am thinking about adding in the future:

1) Statistics - chart that show how many games you have by category, wishlist vs owned and other metrics

2) Tracking game sessions - log your actual play time

Is this worth adding? Any ideas, comments? :-)

Screen showing the "editor" for "Gaming Report". This shows up to three games from the following categories: Playing, Backlog, Finished.

Users can choose games, add extra text, toggle ratings visibility and change size to better fit as "story"

With the latest update you can share your own "Gaming Report" that is automatically created based on recent games.

It also has many ways to customize it πŸ‘

Let me know if have any ideas how to improve it or tweak it.

Hello, super awesome to hear you enjoy the app πŸ’œ

I don't want to rule anything out, however social features are quite difficult and come with lots of possible issues: handling account, data security, content moderation etc.

The main obstacle is also the number of active users.

Easily create and share "share-able" images. You can select compact or "story" size that is great for Instagram for example.

I am planning to extend this so all feedback is welcome.

Smaller upcoming feature 😁

Custom Filter will be extended with the ability to select minimal rating. So if you often rate the games you finish, then, for example, you can easily find the best games you finished and can re-play them.

Another thing I am working on - Open Critic score directly in the list view.

This is currently for the "Best Games" lists and may seem a bit redundant but I plan to add sort options for the "Best by Platforms" lists so you can see the most recent games for example.
