Has EVERYTHING, but the UI could use some work

I picked this app because it has everything I could want. EVERYTHING. But sometimes When I enter a sub screen, the menu disappears and I have to exit the app and re enter. Also, i feel like the UI is missing something. Needs more flare. I’d love to see more analytics on my collection.

I hope v2 is a pleasant surprise

One small change is like to see is the ability to hide prices in the list. Given the small amount of screen real estate and the length of most game titles this would be a big help. Aside from that this is what these apps should be. A database I can select games from, not some stupid list app where I have to search for everything, like anyone can remember every game title ever released.

Great for International Gamers

RetroChecker is perhaps too complicated for its own good. It’s so frustrating to seek out the US Canada version of every game. If there was a filter, I think it could go a long way in helping overcome this issue.It also lags quite a bit because of the large amount of info. It also doesn’t seem to be updated. Therefore, there is much to improve on, but that doesn’t mean it isn’t a good app.I think people from the international community will love it because it has Pal versions first. Perhaps the creator of the app is in Europe.I think for NTSC collectors like myself should use GameEye. This one is simply easier to use for those of us that are not PAL gamers.

V3 added the ability to filter the platform list to your liking. Also, search results now get sorted to display your selected platforms first
