User Reviews

Users praise the app's clean layout and strong collection-tracking features, plus ongoing updates and developer involvement. Major drawbacks include the core inability to play games, reliability concerns, and limited console coverage. Wishlist and social features are underdeveloped, and some reviews question the value given the price. Addressing playability, expanding platform support, and improving social features would likely improve satisfaction.

Pros

Excellent layout, design, and options for cataloging retro games.
Great for tracking your collection and wishlist, with price context.
Frequent updates and expansion (SNES added, new libraries) and active involvement by Pat Contri.
Useful for NES/SNES fans with reviews and detailed game information.
Perceived value when unlocking libraries helps manage what you own and want.

Cons

Inability to play games within the app; many reviews report you can't play the games.
Limited console coverage; calls for broader support (N64, GameCube, etc.).
Reliability issues and reports that the app sometimes doesn't work.
Wishlist/friends features are missing or hard to use; trouble adding items or sharing collections.
Price/value concerns with some reviewers calling it a scam or waste of money.
