Backloggr

Backloggr brings a video game library, ratings, backlog, and play tracking into one app for iOS and macOS. Its database is described as covering more than 350,000 games and 250+ platforms. The service says PlayStation, Xbox, and Steam libraries can sync automatically; the App Store listing also mentions Nintendo Switch importing. Physical games and indie titles can be added manually. Progress views include collection size, completion rate, backlog depth, hours played, a backlog score, and a Year in Review. For discovery, Backloggr lists games trending by community activity, countdowns for wishlisted releases, and new releases sorted by hype. A dashboard brings together Steam achievements, PlayStation trophies, and Xbox Gamerscore. App Store-listed community features include reviews, public lists, follows, comments, direct messages, badges, and a community feed. The Free plan includes library import, game tracking, trophies, and backlog tracking. Backloggr Pro is listed at $2.99 a month, $8.99 a year, or $14.99 once. The App Store listing requires iOS 17.6 or later or iPadOS 17.6 or later.

Backloggr pairs library and progress tracking with discovery and community features. Its stated privacy policy is still a placeholder, so readers may want to note that when considering the service.

Backloggr may suit players who want to organize owned games, track progress, and follow a backlog in one place. Its community tools may also appeal to people who want to share lists or discuss games.

Overview

Backloggr is a game-library and progress tracker for players who want their collections and play activity in one place. It is best suited to Apple users juggling games across several platforms; its broad tracking tools are a strength, though the unfinished privacy policy makes account connections worth considering carefully.

Key features

The catalog spans more than 350,000 games across 250+ platforms. Backloggr can sync PlayStation, Xbox, and Steam libraries automatically, and the App Store description also includes Nintendo Switch imports. Physical copies and indie games can be added manually, making the catalog useful even when a game is not covered by an import.

Collection size, completion rate, backlog depth, hours played, a backlog score, and a Year in Review give players several ways to assess their gaming habits. This is more useful for people trying to manage a large, unfinished library than for someone who only wants a simple trophy record.

Discovery tools surface games trending with the community, countdowns for wishlisted releases, and new releases sorted by hype. A single dashboard combines Steam achievements, PlayStation trophies, and Xbox Gamerscore. Reviews, public lists, follows, comments, direct messages, badges, and a community feed give the app a social layer, which suits players who want to share recommendations and collections as well as track them.

The site says connected accounts are read-only and used only to build and sync the library. That limits the stated purpose of the connections, but the privacy policy remains a placeholder that says processing and controller details still need completion. The site also says its marketing pages use no advertising or tracking cookies and embed no third-party analytics or fonts; that statement does not resolve the missing account-processing information.

Pricing

The Free plan costs nothing and includes library import, game tracking, trophies, and backlog tracking. It covers the core use case without a subscription, so it is the natural starting point for anyone who wants to organize a collection before paying for extras.

Backloggr Pro adds extra customization and advanced features. Backloggr Pro (Monthly) costs $2.99 a month; Backloggr Pro Annual costs $8.99 a year; and Backloggr Pro Lifetime costs $14.99, paid once. The annual option is cheaper than paying the monthly rate across a year, while lifetime is a one-time payment for players who expect to keep using the app. The plan descriptions do not distinguish which customization or advanced features each tier unlocks, so readers should weigh that uncertainty against the low-cost free plan.

Platforms

Backloggr is available on iOS and macOS. The App Store listing describes an iPhone and iPad app requiring iOS 17.6 or later or iPadOS 17.6 or later. Players who need Android or a web app should look elsewhere.

Who it's for

Backloggr makes the most sense for Apple-device players who want to combine library imports, manual cataloging, backlog analytics, and achievement tracking. Its community features are a bonus for people who enjoy sharing lists and discussing games. It is less compelling for users who only need a focused achievement tracker, or for anyone unwilling to connect accounts while the privacy policy is unfinished.

Pros and cons

• Pros: Automatic imports from major console and PC accounts, with manual entry for physical and indie games, reduce the work of maintaining a cross-platform library.
• Pros: Backlog and play statistics go beyond ownership lists, helping players see completion progress and time spent.
• Pros: The free plan includes library import, tracking, trophies, and backlog tools, while paid plans offer customization and advanced features.
• Cons: The privacy policy is still a placeholder, leaving important account-processing and controller information unresolved.
• Cons: iOS and macOS coverage excludes players who need Android or web access.
• Cons: Pro plan descriptions do not clarify which advanced features or customization options are included at each price.

Verdict

Choose Backloggr if you use Apple devices and want one place for cross-platform collections, backlog progress, statistics, and achievements. The breadth of its free core tools is the main reason to start with it; players who require Android or web access, or want clearer privacy terms before linking accounts, should look elsewhere.
