RFG App for Android: The official thread!

[theGrue]

Yup, definitely a good idea, definitely on the list of things to do. I'm taking longer than I should with the random because I wanted to try some new interfaces rather than just kicking to the existing game info screen.

Take your time. Great work!

Had a submission correcting a UPC that directly mentioned it being done because the UPC search couldn't find it in the Android app. Figured I'd let you know that people are using it, Grue.

I was wondering if there was a way to sort games you have more than one copy. I would like to just convert any games that I have more than one copy of to the for trade file. Is there a quick way?

Love the app!! Thanks

This app is great. I use it when browsing thrift shops. It's going to be put to solid use when I go to Midwest Gaming Classic this year.

Not sure about the app, but we have sortable columns on the site. Just click on the column title in your collection and it'll sort by ascending/descending order.

Shadow,

Thanks for the response. I can export to excel as well What I was hoping was that I could somehow quickly make a for trade list with anything I have more than one of instead of having to re-pick all the games.

[Shadow Kisuragi]

Nope - that functionality doesn't exist on the site nor the app.

not sure if its been mentioned yet but when I'm in my collection folder and click to filter it brings up all the different consoles for games in my wish list and other folders. Was hoping it would filter just by what consoles are in the selected folder.

I have been having trouble similar to Brianstorm99's issues.  Anytime I click the refresh icon next to the "All Folder" the app only updates the "Wishlist" and "For Sale/Trade" (which happen to both have nothing in them).  If the "Collection" category is selected for refresh the app will sit there spinning forever.   I have tried logging with different capitalization combinations, but nothing seems works.  Any ideas on what might be wrong given that I am logging in with the correct capitalization?

EDIT:
Just to give a little more information, I am able to add games to my collection through the app.  These additions stay even when I do an update of the collection.

Hey, Shadow just paged me to the thread because some folks were having issues related to games from newer consoles, I'm going to try giving myself the same PS4 games you've got and I'll see if I can recreate the issue.

I've been using the app to add some games to my collection and have a couple suggestions. When on a game page, the RFG logo should take you back to the main screen, its just a bit annoying to use the back arrow multiple times.
And this one may not even be something you can change, but even when you're in portrait mode, the UPC reader always goes to landscape mode.

Yeah, I need to make the app use a proper, modern Action Bar. I'm trying to get back in to the Android swing of things lately and make some improvements to fit a more modern look and feel. I tried to do some R&D last weekend, but ended up getting distracted with, you know, actual site problems. The app's not too useful when RFG is down!

As for the second thing, I think that's just how the barcode scanner is.

Its no big deal, I mainly just wanted to post them while I was thinking about them so when you're looking for improvements to make they're here.

I just installed the app on my new phone and when I logged in it says I have 0 in my collection.  Is there something I'm not doing right?
