## Description

Winston the Video Game Tracker is your privacy-first gaming companion for organizing, tracking, and discovering games. It requires no sign-in and never collects your data, so you can manage a personal queue, log playtime, and build custom lists and notes with confidence.

Powered by IGDB and IsThereAnyDeal, Winston lets you browse trailers and screenshots, view critic ratings and release dates, and receive release alerts. Track progress with statuses like Started, Paused, Completed, or Stopped, monitor sales for wishlist titles across Steam, GOG, and more, and create calendars for upcoming releases. You can add games from links, filter by platform, and rate what you’ve played.

## Review summary

Winston is widely praised for its clean, native iOS UI, ease of use, and cross-device performance. Users appreciate rich game details and a lightweight experience with a free-to-use model and optional lifetime premium unlock. Recurring requests focus on better list management and customization: separating wishlist from library, saving sort orders, adding more sorting options (IGDB rating) and platform filters, and new views like a gallery. A minor bug about icon changes is noted, but overall sentiment is positive.

### Pros

- Clean, native iOS UI that's easy to navigate.
- Free to use with a lifetime premium unlock option.
- Rich game details and tracking features (DLCs, related games, links, scores, notes).
- Smooth cross-device performance (works well on iPhone and iPad).
