Ratings and Reviews
Not bad, some missing features
Overall this is a nice little app for keeping track of your NES collection.
I wish it had the Reflections section from the corresponding book, as that's been cited as the best part of the book and it would be nice to be able to read them. The included reviews are okay, but are more just descriptions of the games and offer little opinion.
I'd love the ability to see the estimated value of my collection, of my wanted list (the interface for marking a game as "wanted" is a little wonky), and the rare, common, etc. games from my collection.
There's also some missing controllers: I remember having some third party joysticks when I was a kid that aren't listed.
Overall I like having the app and I'm looking forward to any upcoming Super NES and Gameboy versions.
Update fixes everything!
Hands down the best NES reference money can buy. Expert reviews, ratings, values, and high res cartridge/box art for every single game. My go-to source whenever I find an unfamiliar cartridge in the wild.
Developer Response ,
Thanks for the updated review and making us your go-to source. We'll be updating the app often with additional content and new features.
Impressive Update!
It’s so great to see all of the issues I had with the prior version resolved. Visually everything looks nicer as well. The one area that I would like to see expanded would be the accessories. There were so many unique controllers and odd devices. It would be good to see them all together for completeness.
Developer Response ,
Thanks Michael! Your feedback regarding the accessories section is very on point. We're already on it - thanks again.
