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? :-)

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 👍

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

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"

Couple of new "features" coming soon 😀

The status will show number of times you finished a game and also new "Replay #[number]" status.

+ the notes added to games are easier to view. I did not select the best link 😅

This took lot of time but finally done and out with the recent update 4.3.1 🎉

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.

Finally had the time to do something about the "Up Next" carousel in favorites 😀

The previous version was one of the oldest UI "components" still in the app 😅

#gaming #iOSDev #indieDev
Favorites screen with the new Up Next carousel that shows Mafia: The Old Country as soonest releasing game in 11 days. The bottom part is longer and uses colors from the cover to provide more space for the days left label without covering the game cover.

By chance is there anyone who installed iOS version of GamingBuddy recently?

I am curious what did you think about the initial onboarding/tour? 🙂

Thanks!

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 new feature I am working on 😀

"Recent activity" - this new section shows games from your collection for which you recently updated status. This makes it super simple to find game you are just playing or recently finished.

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.

Working on the ability to "batch manage" your games 👍

So far these is the ability to toggle multi-select, selects games and then apply tags to all the selected games. 🏷️

Version 4.1.0 is now generally available from the App Store 🎉

These are mostly refinements and tweaks for 4.0.0 + some smaller additions like the Bookmark widget and fast access to Magic Find.

#gaming #iOSDev #indieDev
Mostly refinements for the previous v4 update with bug fixes, design tweaks and more. ## Bookmark widget - Have a really favorite game? Put it on your Home Screen ## Magic Find shortcut + Control Center widget - Fast access to recently added Magic Find feature. ### And more - Also also some more esoteric stuff like fixes to (hopefully) display correct artwork in widgets when game cover is updated. - Better display of the "Artworks" section on game detail screen. - Better UI for managing custom tags for your games. - iPad tweaks, fixes for the "Follow companies" feature which launched recently.
