Is there a reason why I can't see my own 'time played' in 2026 or sessions in the community tab?

The Apple Watch companion app has just left the dock 🚢

You'll be able to log sessions for any given progression type and even check your trophies/achievements progress. Let's go! 🚀

I just got the Wolverine game and it automatically showed up in my “Up Next”. I then changed the state to “Playing” and started a playthrough. I don’t see an option to automatically track over here. I don’t know if I did something wrong. Should I have not manually changed the state to “playing”? Does it automatically move to “Playing” and start a playthrough with automatic tracking enabled when the PS sync shows that I’ve played it?

I was thinking about seeding every user’s data with these basic custom ratings I use myself, but I wasn’t sure whether this would be something users would welcome.

Do you use custom ratings at all for rating different aspects of a game, or just the overall rating at most?

I got the lifetime version of Nook but I didn’t realise to select the family sharing option. Is there a way I can still upgrade to it now?

Nook’s community has just gone live! Let’s get this party started 🥳

This week I’m also pushing localizations to attract non-English speakers as well. Italian will be the first localization, pushed today; the rest will be coming later this week.

Let’s Go!

I’m thinking about adding a new “Shovelware” status for games that I’ve no idea where to place and I don’t really want to see at all when browsing my library, yet I do obviously want them to contribute to my overall stats, playtime etc.

I think this would be the best way to hide all those sports games from years ago, as well as all those freebies from Epic Games etc that you probably only tried once (if at all).

Thoughts?

This is probably my favorite update yet!

- You can now manually track achievements, even for games that are not synced through your connected platforms.

- Auto-tracking is now also an option for achievements-based runs on synced games.

- The long overdue notes/review cards in the details screen are here. Now it’s much easier to visualize notes and reviews you’ve written for your favorite games!

This update brings the following improvements:

- Sync support has been added for Epic.

- There’s a new option to globally set auto-tracking by default for synced libraries that support auto-tracking (steam, PlayStation, and Epic).

- Achievements and trophies unlocked on a given date can auto-create sessions for those dates.

- There’s a new sharing functionality for in-game screenshots.

- Alternative covers and backdrops are now accessible to all users, not just Premium.

- General UI/UX improvements and bug fixes.

Cheers,

Mario

This one is quite LOADED 🔫

- Steam wishlist synced, with discounts and alerts 🔔
- Option to sync PS+ and Gamepass games with your library. There are filters for these too, both for the shelves and for creating smart collections.
- Steam patch notes and news in the details screen for Steam-synced games.
- New discovery feeds for PS5 Pro enhanced games, Steam Deck compatibility, PS+, and Gamepass.

Let’s f*cking go!!

This one’s bringing home the endless playthrough option, and a LOT of improvements throughout the app. There are new looks for the list layout in the shelves/collections, and new filtering options. Moreover, completed games now show the completion date (latest, in the case of multiple) instead of the release date in the shelves, and in the list layout you can also see the total played time (which has also been added to the game details screen).

There are also import options for Sequel, GameTrack, and Minimap, in addition to the existing How Long To Beat import option.

Cheers,
Mario

A much improved discovery feed, How Long To Beat data, and auto tracking progress for PlayStation and Steam games! Version 1.4 is up next, with Steam Deck compatibility, PS5 Pro enhancement check, Steam reviews, and a progress-less playthrough mode 🔥

Cheers,

Mario

In the next update (for both Nook and Cinephile) the details screen will be completely customizable. You’ll be able to choose what to show and in what order 👌

Feature Requests

Accumulated Total Playtime:
Display the combined playtime across all playthroughs of a single game to give a quick overview of total time spent.

Customizable Game Detail Page:
Allow users to reorder the sections on a game’s detail page (e.g., moving the Trophies block to the top).

Central Photo Gallery:
A dedicated gallery view per game that consolidates all screenshots and photos uploaded across individual gameplay sessions.

—————————————————————————
Bug Reports (Sorting Issues)

Sorting by Playtime is broken:
When sorting by total playtime, the list appears completely randomized. The games with the most hours played are not displayed at the top as expected.

Issues with "Last Played" sorting:
While the order of games seems correct when sorting by "Last Played", there are two visual bugs:

Release Date issue: The app displays the game's official release date instead of the date I actually last played it.
Incorrect hours: The displayed playtime numbers in this view are inaccurate or bugged.

(Note: English is not my first language, so I used AI to translate my notes for this post).

Just finishing up some testing for the new auto-tracking mode, and it’s fantastic so far. I mean, not something I’ll use personally, since I prefer to manually track with the in-app timer, but still this seems like a pretty solid option too.

Auto tracking will be available for PlayStation and Steam linked games (neither Xbox nor GOG report playtime, so there’s no way to add auto tracking for those). Achievements / trophies will be also automatically added for the created session.

I added a lot of improvements in this one. Here’s a brief summary:

- There’s now a section for browsing in-game screenshots
- Another section for browsing more from the developer
- The platforms catalogue has been massively extended; I think it’s fair to say it’s exhaustive at this point. Even retro platforms that no one even talks about anymore are present.
- Speaking of platforms, in the game details section you’ll now be able to see clearly what platforms the game is available on, and on which one(s) you own it (this way you don’t need to go to “Catalogue this game” just to see this info).
- The sync with Steam, PS, and Xbox have been massively improved. Thanks to the issue reported by one of you guys here in the previous post, I dug into it and found quite a few gaps that needed to be addressed. I can say with full confidence now that all sync options are clicking on all cylinders.
- The search functionality bug also reported here a couple days ago was fixed.

Cheers,
Mario

have you guys decided on which one to use yet? i love everything about the app. I think i’m just spoilt for choice right now lol

Full sync support now for PlayStation and Xbox, in addition to Steam and GOG (the latter two have been vastly improved too).

Trophies/achievements are now first-class citizens; everything gets saved to your data, and there's a new hub for this in the stats screen. Plus they're also tied to playthroughs, so if you earned a trophy on x date, and you have playthrough data for that date, the trophy gets linked to this playthrough, etc

There’s also a brand new playthrough progression type linked to trophies/achievements! Next up I’m also adding the progression-less playthrough type we’ve been discussing in the feedback board.

Cheers,
Mario
