  1. [R2] iCollect Video Games 5/5 · US Super good: It scan it and then it Get connected, but you can also search it
  2. [R5] iCollect Video Games 5/5 · US Have used for over 10 years.: I have thousands of titles that I wouldn’t be able to keep track of otherwise. I own the Games, Movies, and Books collections of the app. The few problems I’ve had over the years have all been fixed after sending them an email.
  3. [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.
  4. [R8] iCollect Video Games 5/5 · US Great tool to keep track of my games: Works great. I especially love the wishlist and searching for games is super easy. Keep up the great work!
  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. [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
  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. [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.
  9. [R21] iCollect Video Games 3/5 · US Has Great Potential - Quite Buggy: Love the layout and the bookshelf appearance. Really is a nice touch. A+ for the huge database, barcode scan, metadata editing, etc. Lots of customization for each title which is great if you collect rare limited and special editions of your favorite games. Uploading custom cover art is MUCH APPRECIATED. However, after paying $5.99, it does have more bugs than I
  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. [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
  12. [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
  13. [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
  14. [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!
  15. [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?
  16. [R50] iCollect Video Games 4/5 · US Sort it! Video game app: This is a great app when it works. This app has deleted hundreds of games on 4 different times. Wasted hundreds of hours inputting data. I have emailed company over a dozen times...NO FEEDBACK! If you have only a few games. Go ahead and use. Serious game collection collectors beware. John H
  17. [R52] iCollect Video Games 1/5 · US Don’t buy!: This app is always having issues, logging me out/not letting me log back in, camera scan not working etc. Now that it’s been bought out from I sort it, it’s telling me I’ve never purchased the app and is trying to make me re-purchase the app. Don’t waste your time. This app has caused me more headache than anything.
  18. [R13] iCollect Video Games 1/5 · US Always a subscription: You can only store 15 games and then they want you to buy more space…..
  19. [R61] 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
  20. [R63] HappyMoods 3/5 · US WHERE THE *BOING* IS THE MODS!?: CANT USE MODS
  21. [R66] HappyMoods 3/5 · US App was tested: Not good, no mods but, what’s good use for tracking your gameplay?
  22. [R67] HappyMoods 1/5 · US I've seen the reviews: so basically I've seen the reviews about it crashing instantly and theyre right it happens to me too and I really want people to read this. THIS IS TRASH.
  23. [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?
  24. [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.
  25. [R92] HappyMoods 1/5 · US Tracker on this app: Tracker on this app
  26. [R97] HappyMoods 5/5 · US I know this is a malware: DO NOT USE THIS YOU CAN GET A TROJAN ON YOUR PHONE THIS IS A BAD APP DONT USE THIS IT CAN DESTROY YOUR DEVICE!! THIS CAN MAKE HACKERS MAKE MORE MALICIOUS MALWARE WITH THISSSS!

  28. [R110] HappyMoods 1/5 · US Virus: This game gives your phone or any device a Trojan Virus. A Trojan Virus can steal files, hack your phone or even make any game or app freeze. If you feel your phone get hot, a Trojan Virus might be in there. Go to the Apple Store or Verizon Wireless to fix.
