Ratings and reviews

When it works, this app is perfect. It catalogues every game, physical console, controller, and keeps track of the value of your collection, as well as a wanted list and many other things. However, I have not gotten the app to open so I could actually use it more than once in the last month or so. I'll download it, add a game or two, and then it will crash while loading every time after that. UPDATE: As of 7/6/2020 the app works again, and better than ever.

At first it worked great. It was a very useful app for an NES collector. There were times it would stop working and the app would restart. Ultimate Game Guide for the NES was not perfect to begin with. If you recently updated your phone, the app is now useless. It crashes constantly. In fact you can't even open it. Hopefully this will be fixed soon. I haven't be able to use it for almost a month. Uninstalling and reinstalling does not fix the problem either. Buyer beware.

So I opened my app today and much to my horror all 500+ entries were deleted. My phone had forced updated to v2.0 and I had no idea. I recently spent 12+ hours adding notes and double checking the accuracy of my app to my collection. All my work is gone. On top of that the new version is broken. The search function is unreadable with text appearing on top of cartridge images. The additional info like publisher, developer, rarity are now blank. A beautiful and useful app now gone. Disappointing.
