Ratings and Reviews
Awesome
Really great app! Has tons of features and information. The only feature it is lacking is a “do not own list” or “missing carts”. The app can tell you what is in your collection, so it should be able to show you the carts you are missing (manuals and such can be checked individually). This would super helpful when browsing video game stores. If you are the developer please consider adding this feature. Otherwise a fantastic app!

A Nintendo collector's best friend
In spite of already having the book written by Pat Contri that contains most of this info, I found that the unique feature with which you can keep track of your own NES collection worth the price in itself.
This is one of the best resources you can have on hand if you collect, thanks to all of the detail that went into compiling this app and its hardcover book counterpart - from label variations and region exclusive games, to info on some of the more rare and obscure cartridges (even non-licensed ones).
If you are new to the hobby - or are a seasoned game collector - this app is definitely a definitive guide on everything you could ever want to know about the NES library.
Best design
I’ve been trying several of the game collection apps to get a listing together of all my retro games. The layout, design, and options of this app are the best of all the ones I’ve tried. It was worth the price to unlock both libraries. My only complaint isn’t really a complaint, more a personal wish. This app would reach perfection if it had the other retro systems as well. Even if it was only the images of cases and cartridges I would be stoked, the extra features could be added over time. My prayer is that this app in time will grow to include the other systems from Atari, Sega, and Nintendo.
