Common questions

How do I join the beta?

Email zachvivierdev@gmail.com with the email address of your Apple Account. You'll get a TestFlight invite. Install Apple's free TestFlight app, open the invite on your iPhone, and install Gamelog from TestFlight.

How do I send beta feedback?

Take a screenshot in Gamelog and tap Share Beta Feedback, or open TestFlight, choose Gamelog, and tap Send Beta Feedback. Email works too.

My Steam import shows no games

Steam only shares your game list when your profile's Game details setting is Public. On Steam, go to your profile, choose Edit Profile, then Privacy Settings, and set Game details to Public. Then try the import again.

Gamelog says my Steam sign-in expired

Sign-ins last about 90 days. Tap Sign in with Steam again, from the + button or from Settings.

What does the green ! on a game mean?

Steam has posted an update for that game since you last played it. Open the game to read the patch notes, and the ! clears. You can mute alerts for one game from its ⋯ menu, or for all games in Settings. Wishlist and Dropped games never show it.

Some games have no patch notes

Patch notes come from each game's Steam news posts. Some developers don't label their updates, or don't post them on Steam. Games added manually have no Steam page to check.

Why did a game move out of Done for Now?

By default, games left in Done for Now move to Finished after 30 days, so the list stays short. In Settings, you can change how long to wait, move them to Dropped instead, or choose Never to keep them in Done for Now. Changing a game's status restarts the count.

How do I move my games to a new phone?

In Settings, use Export History, then Save to Files. On the new phone, use Import History, then Import from Files. Games already in the library are skipped. If you use Steam, you can also sign in and import your Steam library again.

The export includes the Notes field on each game's Edit screen. It does not include notes saved to a game from the scratchpad or the Notes button, or the scratchpad itself. Those stay on your old phone. Before you switch, copy any text you want to keep, and take screenshots of drawings.

Is my data backed up?

Your library is stored only on your phone. Deleting the app deletes it. Export your history now and then to keep a copy. The export doesn't include notes saved to a game or the scratchpad, including drawings.

How do I delete my data?

Delete games in the app with a long press. Deleting a game also deletes its notes. To delete every note and clear the scratchpad, use Delete All Notes in Settings. To remove everything, delete the app. To disconnect Steam, choose Sign Out of Steam in Settings. See the privacy policy for details.
