Hi all!
I am excited to announce that my RetroAchievements companion app, RA Tracker, has officially launched on the iOS App Store!
Version 1 has many capabilities, all designed around maximizing the RetroAchievements experience and feeling right at home on your iOS Device.
- View your completion progress for all games you are earning achievements for
- View awards for mastering a game
- View all of your recently earned achievements
- See users that have earned specific achievements
- View the Achievement of the Week and get a notification when a new one is posted!
- View the top ten user leaderboard
- Add games to the Backlog to keep track of what you want to play
- Search for games by console to see what games currently have Achievements to earn
- Create a list of games to track completion progress
- Follow other RetroAchievements.org users and track their progress and recently earned achievements
I would absolutely LOVE to hear feedback from the community.
Once the final API endpoints get enabled, I will start work on the v2 update which will have much more information for users.
If you don't know what RetroAchievements is, now is a great time to check it out!
Thanks for the feedback, it’s great!
This is something I have looked into. The calls weren’t incredibly efficient, so I didn’t include it in the release version. I’ll do some more looking into it, because I agree that it would be helpful.
Totally. This is something that I’ll be able to include once the full RA API is turned back on. Expect it soon.
You’re talking about on the game detail page? Good call. I’ll see what I can do.
That’s not a use case I considered. I can definitely add that. Do you like the little pop up that happens when you tap your award or would you prefer to see the entire list of achievements and game details?
For the fourth response I do really like the notification in the little “trophy case” section for the awards! Though the master date has been showing “invalid date” for me and all users I’ve looked at so far just to give you a heads up!
I would say if I was able to go to the page for that game with the achievements list directly from the award that would be nice. Kind of like how it works on RA. Not sure how that would work with the notification though, but just a thought
Ah. Thanks for telling me about invalid date. I have a fix for that already. Update will be out soon. Thanks a ton!
I’ll throw together a couple different ways and see what works best.
Great! Looking forward to it!
Version 1.1.0 was just approved and will be rolling out shortly! It addresses all of your ideas above, except for game search. I’ll be looking into that this week.
Wow, that’s awesome! Again, thanks so much for listening to feedback. I’m excited to see how the changes are. I’ll give more feedback if I have any!
Thanks for helping make the app better!
Looking forward to your thoughts on the update.
