  1. [R3] iCollect Video Games 3/5 · US Nice limited experience, too expensive for me.: So I download this app and in the description it states: large collections require a fee to make unlimited. So large collections are 16 games? If I only had 15 games, I think I could remember them all. Disappointed to start scanning in my collection to find out it’s $30. My 5 minute brief experience, I like the app. But $30 is personally too s
  2. [R4] iCollect Video Games 1/5 · US $30 Payment Required: I was eager to start cataloging which video games I owned, and scanning the bar codes on the back made it seem so easy… that is, until you try to add a 16th game into the app. Then you are hit with a $30 paywall with no alternative. Such a disappointment. I really wish the App Store wouldn’t allow apps like this to even be considered “free” because it isn’t, it’s thirty dolla
  3. [R7] iCollect Video Games 2/5 · US Hidden Fee: Amazing app except for the fact that there was no warning of a 15 game limit. $30 is outrageous!
  4. [R16] iCollect Video Games 1/5 · US Dumb: You have to pay to have more than 15 games. It’s a flat fee but it’s $30 so I’d just settle for something else.
  5. [R1] iCollect Video Games 2/5 · US “Add” button not working.: I like this app. I’ve been using it for years. I just got a new collection of games so I thought I would add them to the app and update my existing collection, but I can’t because the “+” button at the top left isn’t working.
  6. [R9] iCollect Video Games 3/5 · US Old version was better: Since the new version, I’ve lost most of the cover art pictures. And other info is gone. Now I have to spend hours fixing everything that was perfect before it was changed to this new company. My wanted list is missing all the info but the title.
  7. [R20] iCollect Video Games 5/5 · US Great 👌: But When I fill out the form incompletely and go to the browser to search for a photo, When I return, the software is restarted and I have to fill out the form again.
  8. [R28] iCollect Video Games 1/5 · US Not worth my time: I added my whole collection to this app. Tracking it was nice. I could scan a barcode or do it manually when I got a new game. Well logged in today and 90% of my collection isn’t showing up 🤷‍♂️ uhh what the heck. Well I’m not adding it all back in. That would take hours. Guess I’ll find a new app
  9. [R10] iCollect Video Games 1/5 · US I bought it: I bought this app years ago.. just now started using it again and it told me I can only upload 15 games then wants me to pay $29.99 I bought this app years ago for $10… bid I just lose my money or what?
  10. [R25] iCollect Video Games 1/5 · US Why not allow me to transfer my collection from Collectors???: I would consider purchasing (even though I Purchased Full access from the app they cancelled) but only if I could transfer the collection I put in in over several years. It’s really short sited to expect me to spend hours re entering stuff I already put into your previous app. I never received any notice and I’m certain they have my
  11. [R31] iCollect Video Games 1/5 · US They Deleted my Collection: They moved to this app and Deleted my SortiApps Collection without providing any notice. They had my email address. Why not email me to let me know?
  12. [R42] iCollect Video Games 3/5 · GB Great app but...: I bought the full version on the iPad and the purchase won't transfer over to the iPhone version of the same program. Please fix this and it'll be 5 stars.
  13. [R6] iCollect Video Games 3/5 · US FOLDERS: I really liked the app but I think it should have an option to separate the games into different folders, sega genesis with sega genesis, Nintendo with nintendo and not all games together in just one list.
  14. [R12] iCollect Video Games 3/5 · US Good, but not great: I’ve only recently decided to start seriously cataloguing and collecting games. Keep in mind that I’m no hardcore collector, and am mostly just wanting to acquire games I’m personally interested in, among other interesting finds if it’s convenient for me. That said, while it mostly does its job, I’m already noticing features missing that would I would really like to have, or
  15. [R14] iCollect Video Games 4/5 · US Create a ‘Beauty Products Collection’ app next!: What makes this app great is the freedom users have to edit the various entries for each section…however, the only thing missing is a more polished and professional background. It’s pretty bare bones currently, as though anyone could’ve created it by going to one of those generic ‘create your own form’ websites and selecting the default option for
  16. [R18] iCollect Video Games 3/5 · US Just ok: Not optimized for iPad, needs access to pricing with collectors sites for overall collection value, platforms and accessories would be nice for collection
  17. [R51] Tracker Network Stats 1/5 · US Horrendous: Unless you want 2 ads every time you switch screens, pay for premium. It’s not their data to sell and they’re hyper monetizing it. Don’t download just use the website
  18. [R52] Tracker Network Stats 5/5 · US Amazing: Really useful recommend to get this
  19. [R53] Tracker Network Stats 3/5 · US Too many Ads: 30 second ad twice in 90 seconds made me come here to say cmon this is ridiculous
  20. [R54] Tracker Network Stats 1/5 · US Sign link account: Can u fix it I tried to linked it but it just loading forever
  21. [R65] IGN Entertainment 2/5 · US Just ok: This app is fine for articles and news, but if you want to comment on anything good luck, I’m logged into my account and every time I try to comment it asks me to log in again.
  22. [R66] IGN Entertainment 5/5 · US Comments are basically broken: Every time you try to make a comment, or even like something, it’ll ask you to sign in… Even though you are already signed in. And then, if you try to sign in again and make the comment, it’ll ask you to sign in yet again… basically you could never make a comment unless delete app and uninstall it every damn day, sometimes multiple times a day. I’m done with it.
  23. [R67] IGN Entertainment 3/5 · US Love IGN. Hate the app: Man oh man… I love IGN. I love the content. I love the hosts of all the shows and podcasts especially Beyond & NVC. Love the reviews, on sale sections, news, events. But boy is this app bad and keeps getting worse. It crashes all the time. I have to log in almost every day. The videos don’t play or play and then crash… 5 stars for IGN content/creators and 0 for the app
  24. [R68] IGN Entertainment 1/5 · US Jwt Malformed: Been locked out for a year. Wouldn’t be terrible if I wasn’t constantly asked to login to a portal that doesn’t work.
  25. [R79] iCollect Everything 1/5 · US Bait n switch: I have a very extensive collection of die cast , action figures . Sports card , Pokémon cards etc. so I decided to try this app right off the bat you have to pick your subscription level.. I chose lifetime since it was for everything 99$. Then comes the upgrade to pro to unlock all the special features .. another 99$ I passed on that one n glad I did. On the action figures it was s
  26. [R80] iCollect Everything 5/5 · US Great for organizing my action figure collection: I love the ease of the barcode scanning system as well the built value estimates provided by the app. I’m really excited to get a handle on my collection and this app checks all the boxes.
  27. [R81] iCollect Everything 3/5 · US I like the format and functions but expensive and glitchy: I like the format and functions which is why I pay for it, however for an expensive paid app, it has been way too glitchy, many times not accessible when I need it, won’t load my inventory without any notification of an update or whatever. I expect better from something that costs this much.
  28. [R82] iCollect Everything 1/5 · US Ok if you have 5 minutes per car to manually enter every car: It draws you in with promises of fast scans and bulk scan capabilities but that just not accurate. You have to pay for AI scans. The bulk feature doesn’t work at all. It states it will give you options since the UPC code is case specific, not car specific so it will give you the cars in that case to choose from. It only did that one
  29. [R93] HappyMoods 2/5 · US Doesn’t Work: The app crashes whenever I open it and again, there’s no mods for Toca Life. Can’t really install anything for other apps/ games. Do not use
  30. [R94] HappyMoods 5/5 · US Samuel: Fellhauers
  31. [R95] HappyMoods 1/5 · US I can’t even open the app: 1
  32. [R96] HappyMoods 5/5 · US I only put 5 stars so y'all will see this: So it doesn't work it is fake and it won't even let me play my games it is terrible I do not recommend
  33. [R107] GAMEYE 1/5 · US Can’t sync with website: The app works great, but the fact that you can’t log in with an account you made on the website means you can’t sync your library across both mobile and computer.
  34. [R108] GAMEYE 5/5 · US Great App for Video Game Collectors.: I NEVER leave reviews on anything….but this…this caught my attention. Having a database for your game collection and estimated worth is such a nice such in the event you unfortunately had to sell some for your games. Easy to navigate and use is a ++. Linking HowLongToBeat for games is so freaking cool, I can go to the app and compare before I start a new game.
  35. [R109] GAMEYE 3/5 · US I’d be nice if you could import your own roms on here: Just because I thought it was a playable game software
  36. [R110] GAMEYE 1/5 · US Terrible experience: Added hundreds of games last night and saved. This morning opened the app and it’s empty. Waste of time. Thanks so much
  37. [R30] iCollect Video Games 3/5 · GB Fall: Was an amazing app but since the update none of my games appear and I can't click on anything
  38. [R37] iCollect Video Games 1/5 · US Well, I guess it is time to try something new: I’ve had the app for several years with only a few minor issues (slow to load list, etc). Yesterday I opened it and found my list of 1800+ games gone. Wishlist still there, but my entire collection is just…gone.
  39. [R43] iCollect Video Games 1/5 · US Once awesome, now worthless: Used this app for YEARS to organize my collection and wishlist. After the update at the beginning of the year, my collection got wiped, requested money to add more games, and ran so slow it was practically worthless to use. For what was once free and almost perfect, it’s a shame that it’s now as bad as it is. Better off using an excel sheet.
