GG Reviews

Major features such as adding items to a wishlist or backlog are locked behind a way too expensive paywall. Searching functionality does not work correctly; items need to be sorted by relevancy. As compared to Letterboxd, adding items to a wishlist is free and their paid subscription service is much cheaper and provides better functionality.

However, I do like the play status distinction between just beating the story vs 100% completing the game.

I got this to make nice lists of current and upcoming titles so I could share them for Christmas ideas or to show my friends what we could play together, but the price to do so is very very high. They are charging 4.99 a month for access to wishlist tab and ad free privilege plus other benefits and that is wayyyyy to much money for the convenience in my opinion. This would be a instant buy for a one time fee or a like .99 cent monthly sub but 50 dollars for a year even is insane. I will just go and find a cheaper alternative. Otherwise GG is responsive and has easy to understand ui. You can just make lists which is nice and kind of bypass some of the premium features, but it’s not really suited really well unless you pay. I can add games to what I’m playing or my lists, but you have to refresh once after adding them if you haven’t closed GG . Not really a full app experience at the moment unless you’re comfortable paying 4.99 a month. I didn’t use GG for too long because everything unique and what it’s useful for is locked behind that subscription. I just can’t afford to use my money for something like this that I can do myself or find cheaper alternatives between other apps. Sorry :(

I was super excited to hear about this because I’m an avid listmaker and have a huge collection, but GG glitched every time I try to create a list. I totally understand needed to have a payment option but theres way too many features that really should be free (profile backgrounds, wishlist and backlog features). I would totally try this and probably love it after some changes though!

The ability to write reviews, make lists, rank games, follow people, and have a simple Played,Beat,Playing,Abandoned system is great. Only things I would suggest are adding things like displaying the stars you’ve given games directly on your list, and the ability to add games to a list from within that list instead of needing to leave the list and go to the search tab.

On iPhone 6+ running iOS 12.1.2, can't have GG running for more than 10 minutes without it crashing. Other than that bug it's a decent app, good interface, easy to use, up to date with all games on all platforms. I needed a good app to keep track of all the games I have and want to play and this is the best one I've found and I will continue to use it, but it needs an update to fix the crashes.

i really really like GG! it’s got a very nice interface, some helpful features and a good amount of games are accounted for. Unfortunately, GG crashes very frequently. It crashes when attempting to submit a request for a new game, it crashes occasionally when i make a new list and at various other times as well. I’ll continue to use it in the hopes this will be fixed, but eventually i’ll have to abandon it if it isn’t.

Much like when I started to use Letterboxd early on, I think GG has a lot of potential. It was clearly inspired by Letterboxd and I’d like to see some future features that take from that experience to here.

Something I’d like to consider be implemented is selecting which platforms for the games you played. I would also like for there to be some kind of implementation of a stats like feature like Letterboxd does that recaps your year of playing games with different stats such as categories, playing time, etc.

I think there are some QOL things that can help boost GG as well. Sometimes things don’t load right and lists can be a bit cumbersome to put together.

All in all, lots of potential and I’m considered subscribing to receive any new features sooner. Wish the developers the best (from someone who has longed for this kind of app since Raptr shut down.)

Let me say that I’m really glad theres finally an app like Letterboxd for video games. It’s really nice to have such cohesive lists and stuff, but it’s easy to see this is in a very early stage. The most prominent thing to add would be the ability to rate games out of 5 or 10, as that would add a better place for discussion and review. The search function can also be improved, as the game I search for is often far down the list of results, even after I type the exact title. But apart from those and lame loading times, I really enjoy GG and I really want to see it improve over time.

Highly recommend if you want a place to track your video game collection, would love to see some additional features such as changing the cover art of your playlists, linking gaming accounts from game center, psn, xbox, steam, etc etc. and maybe even dates/timestamps. Other than that amazing app for anything gaming related :)

I want to start by saying this is probably the best app of its kind; free from the bugs of other similar apps, an attractive user interface, and useful features.

However, there are a number of things that could use some improvement.

First and foremost, the search results need a better algorithm. When you search for a game it usually comes far down the search results list below a bunch of less pertinent content. There needs to be an algorithm that sorts the search results by relevancy.

Second, the option to rate games. I think adding the option to add a rating for games you have played would be a useful feature that many users would be interested in.

Lastly, sorting of lists. There is currently no function in which you can sort your lists which I find to be frustrating because I would like to have my collection sorted alphabetically. Adding in a sorting (and possibly filtering) function would go a long way to help users organize their collection.

I’m so happy to have found this, and I think it could get even better than it is.

I’ve seen a lot of people say this is the “Letterboxd of games” and I couldn’t have said it better. It’s easy to use and keep track of things and the social aspect is fun.

Although, there are more things I’d like to see expanded upon (I might make a lot of comparisons to Letterboxd):

-One thing is to be able to like and comment on reviews, as that would create more room for conversation and just make the social aspect more fun and help people meet and follow others who they enjoy

-Another thing is a better search algorithm, because I’ve seen a few people say and I agree that the title I’m looking for is below many others

-One more thing that I think would be fun is to include the credits for games (such as the director, composer, artists, etc.) so you could click on there name and see what else they have worked on and in what area, like in Letterboxd.

I understand I’m asking a lot but there’s no rush. GG is going to be my new obsession and I can’t wait to see it grow!

Would give a 3.5 instead. Kinda slow and crashes sometimes, but it’s great when it does work. I’d recommend it, I wish it worked better and had more features, but I understand why it doesn’t, there’s a lot of features letterboxd has that this doesn’t.

I love using Letterboxd for movies, it’s an obsession of mine. I’ve been looking an app like that for games for a while. This is the closest experience to Letterboxd I could find. The design is great. I would like to see some more sorting options in the future. Being able to sort by year or console would greatly help in cataloging games. I would also like to see support for lists. I want to be able to rank console libraries or games of the year. Lastly we need a review system!

Full disclosure: I’ve been involved/aware of GG for awhile. Pretty much since the beginning. I’m stoked that it’s finally out and have been enjoying a lot of the basic framework.

It gives me an easy way to keep track of my games, backlogs, and my wishlists. The interface is pretty easy to understand and clean. I dig that.

Keep it up man! Looking forward to seeing what else he does with this!

Been using GG for a while now and absolutely love it. It could use some polishing but overall it works great. It’s a small dev team but they’re extremely open to feedback and great at communicating.

They continue to add to GG , add features, fix bugs, etc. It’s terrific.
Plus there’s an awesome community on Discord. Can’t wait to see how GG continues to grow.

Been highly anticipating the release of GG. Now that it’s out, it is my go-to app for keeping track of my games. I host The Reformed Gamers podcast and, as you can imagine, we play a lot of games. I’ve used other sites before this app but they just never satisfied. Not only does the this app app satisfy my gamer needs, GG looks great as well. Looking forward to future updates!

GG is fantastic, and is a wonderful inventory app, besides everything else it does. But there is plenty of room to grow. Thankfully, having spoken with the developer, the features I want are all on the way. But don’t wait until then to download, GG is more than enough already!

I’m a lifetime gamer, and gaming is a true passion of mine. However, life is busy, and being an “adult” can sometimes get in the way of that passion.

Well, GG giving me the ability to track my backlog, also allows me to track my gaming accomplishments. It’s so nice (and fluid) to have everything you want to digitally compile about your own personal gaming lists is aggregated into one place. Not to mention, the community aspect, reviews, and recommendations, are a great addition.

Can’t recommend this enough for any and all gamers from all walks of life!

GG is so fun to use an definitely deserves more love. I completed my first full year with it and felt so accomplished looking over everything I beat and completed.

The tracking is already top notch and everything else is an added bonus.

This is what I’ve been looking for in an app and a website. Clean UI, simple and easy to use, large catalog of games and information. What I would like to be added however:

- the ability to edit what games are in your list from WITHIN the list I.e. you can add games from the list rather than having to go to the game page and THEN adding it to the list of choice (both on the mobile and desktop versions).

- the ability to add data to a game entry I.e. what platform you played/bought it on (PS4, XB1, Steam, GOG etc)

- Profile picture that isn’t a gravatar

Overall great app and can’t wait to be adding more and more content to it and using it for years!
