"For You" feed will show you only the most relevant news based on your collection and selected platforms. The plan is to keep improving this - mostly the data sources and the "For You" feed. Let me know if you have any comments or feedback 🙌

New version 4.5.0 is slowly rolling out 🎉 This is the Liquid Glass update with new "Stats" and "Smart Lists". These are more advanced features for GamingBuddy Unlimited. Smart Lists give you powerful way to further organize games. Stats provide high level overview. #gaming #iOSDev #indieDev

The stats could also show games finished multiple times, game that is the longest in your wishlist and similar. "Tracking game sessions" would be live timer on your phone and once the game is finished you could see how much time it took and perhaps this could be tied to stats

GamingBuddy App @gamingbuddy.bsky.social · 11/10/2025

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"

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 😅 #gaming #iOSDev #indieDev

Hello, super awesome to hear you enjoy the app 💜 I don't want to rule anything out, however social features are quite difficult and come with lots of possible issues: handling account, data security, content moderation etc. The main obstacle is also the number of active users.

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

Countdown image for ARC Raiders showing 49 days until release with custom text. The UI also shows bottom buttons for text, countdown toggle and size selection

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.

GamingBuddy App @gamingbuddy.bsky.social · 19/07/2025

Minor update so the custom filter UI shows how many games it will match 🙂 This will avoid the situation where you'd create filter, tap "Confirm" and it would show "No games"

Custom filter view showing Finished tag selected alongside with rating of at least 4.5 stars and there is small label "7 games" above the Confirm button

It is great! I have lots of fun just smashing stuff and collecting gold

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!

GamingBuddy App @gamingbuddy.bsky.social · 16/07/2025

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

Custom filter screen showing newly added rating component. This is a toggle that enables this filter and component to select between 0 to 5 stars.

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"

Continuing the work on this with the ability to change status at once for the selected games. #gaming #indieDev

Wishlist list screen with three games selected showing the "Move to" menu with all the status option with "Wishlist" disabled.

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.

and as always - if you have any thoughts, let me know 🙌 This also applies to general feedback, things you'd like to see in the app and similar 💜

GamingBuddy App @gamingbuddy.bsky.social · 05/07/2025

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.

Thanks for the idea! Are you using other iPad apps on your MacBook? I guess I am mostly afraid of various little problems with the UI etc but I don't have a lot of experience using iPad apps on my Mac.
