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? :-) #gaming #indieDev #iOSDev

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. #gaming #GamingReport #iOSDev #indieDev

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"

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. #gaming #iOSDev

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.

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. #gaming #iOSDev #indieDev

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. #gaming #indieDev #iOSDev

Favorites screen showing the new "Recent activity" with Returnal that has status "Playing" followed by the upcoming Mafia game with status "Backlog"

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. #gaming #indieDev

List of best games for PlayStation showing the average Open Critic score. First is Baldurs Gate 3 with score of 96, followed by Elden Ring with 95, then Astro Bot also with 95.

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. 🏷️ #gaming #indieDev #iOSDev

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.

I am currently working on preparations for iCloud sync for the app, as well as trying to find ways to promote the app & improve the App Store presence... These are the main reasons there aren't any new "visible" features atm. Downloads are low and #1 priority is to increase them.
