Ratings and reviews

[Edit: Massive props, they actually fixed it. This app is no longer listed in my updates list.] The app works as intended. The only issue (which I think is on the apps end) is that after it last updated it got stuck in the list of apps in need of updates. It doesn't actually need an update I don't think and when I hit update it doesn't, so that's kind of weird. Overall that does not affect the way the app runs through.

Update: I got immediate response from the developer (see below) and a request to change my review, but nothing changed on my end. It was still stuck on my "pending downloads list" and it wouldn't come off. I finally deleted the app and re-installed it but that didn't work either. It reappeared on the list and won't come off. From the other reviews here, it looks like I'm not the only one to complain that this app doesn't want to update. I can't get it off my "pending updates" list.

Does what it's meant to, helpful for saving progress on some games, I cycle thru games often so it's nice not having to start all over. Currently, it refuses to update, ik others have mentioned it but I feel the need to as well. I honestly just wish it was compatible with more games, most games have other ways of saving data so it's not a huge deal.
