I can hide the keyboard row, but it still makes navigating GameTrack too difficult. If my iPad is connected to a keyboard, the keyboard row often covers up GameTrack’s tab bar. The tab bar design doesn’t translate as well to the iPad, where it is split across three columns. I’ve primarily used GameTrack on my iPhone, where the colorful game art tiles and slide-up card interface work especially well for navigating lists and searching for games. Settings is also where you can manage the details of your GameTrack account, connect your Xbox, PlayStation, and Steam accounts, and export your library data. Of course, the original version is available too, in multiple colors and special variants. I particularly like the new default icon and alternative icons, which have added depth and a touch of realism to the icon’s D-pad. You can change the app’s theme, layout, tint color, and app icon, personalizing it to suit your tastes. Settings are worth mentioning, too, because GameTrack is highly customizable if you are a subscriber. Finally, you can log into your PlayStation, Xbox, and Steam accounts to track information from them as well. You can also see statistics about the games in your lists broken down by categories like genre, platform, personal ratings, and your history of archiving games. From here, you can view followers and who you follow, access settings, and view and share or delete posts in your activity feed. The final tab is a combination Account and statistics view.

For videogames, that solution has been GameTrack, an app that we’ve covered in our Club MacStories newsletters in the past.įrom the Account tab, you can share your profile, view recent activity, and browse statistics about your games. As a result, I’ve recently gravitated to apps that focus on just a single type of media. Apps designed to track lots of different kinds of media have the benefit of consolidating everything in one place, but often don’t accommodate features specific to one kind of media. Text notes are a quick and portable solution but lack detail. I’ve approached the problem in a lot of different ways. The trouble is that it’s easy to lose track of games I’ve read about, that someone has recommended, and even those that I’m in the middle of playing if I can’t play regularly. As a result, I’m both picky and often slow to getting around to some media, especially games, which often require a substantial time commitment. Between TV shows, movies, music, books and other reading, podcasts, and videogames, the supply of content far outstrips the time I have by an order of magnitude. There is far more media I’d like to try than I have time for.
