iPhone GamingBuddy: Discover new games, track your collection, widgets & more

[nemecek_f]

Hello again

I have recently added highly requsted feature: "Time to beat" information provided by IGDB. This shows the time game takes to finish when you hurry, play normally or try to complete everything.

The app has also been localized into a few languages (Spanish, German, French) and it also uses the iOS 18 Translation framework to on-demand translate game descriptions and storylines.

I have new TestFlight out after a hiatus.

New version features much better video playback (videos play inline, support PiP + there is also preference to change this).

Also more iOS Translation framework integration. Now majority of the dynamic content can be translated on-demand.

Hello! Happy to announce that GamingBuddy is now also available for Apple TV 🎉

The tvOS version is smaller companion build to easily watch new trailers on the big screen. I really enjoy following the game showcases with my app but watching trailers wasn't ideal experience. That is now much faster with "GamingBuddy TV".

The tvOS app is completely free.

The version 4.0.0 is finally out. 🎉

• iPad support – One of the most requested features is finally here! The app takes advantage of the larger screen and syncs your data across iPhone and iPad with iCloud.
• Better library organization – You can now tag your favorite games, filter by tag/status/platform, and customize the layout of your library. Add personal notes (with links!) and easily access your activity history.
• Follow developers & publishers – Stay up to date with new releases by following companies. You’ll get notifications and see all their upcoming titles in one place.
• Magic Find – Search for games even if you don’t remember the name. Just type something like “pixel art farming sim with a dog” and GamingBuddy will try to find a match. Great for discovering older games you vaguely remember.
• Top-rated game lists – Unlimited users can explore the best-reviewed games on PC, PS5, and Xbox One based on OpenCritic ratings.
