Backloggr

Backloggr is a cross-platform game library, backlog, and achievement tracker for Apple users who want one record of their gaming life. It is strongest for players managing collections across several consoles and PC stores, especially those who enjoy statistics and community discovery. The unfinished privacy policy deserves careful consideration before connecting accounts.

Overview

Backloggr combines automatic account imports, manual cataloging, play-progress records, and social tools in one service. Its read-only account connections are intended solely to build and synchronize a library, which limits the stated access purpose. However, the website privacy policy remains a placeholder and does not yet provide completed processing and controller information, an important weakness for an app handling gaming-account data.

Key features

The catalog contains more than 350,000 games spanning over 250 platforms. PlayStation, Xbox, and Steam libraries can synchronize automatically, while the App Store description also includes Nintendo Switch importing. Manual entry supports physical copies and indie games, useful when an account connection cannot represent part of a collection.

Backloggr tracks more than ownership. Collection size, completion rate, backlog depth, hours played, a backlog score, and a Year in Review give completion-focused players several ways to measure progress. That breadth suits people trying to understand and reduce a large backlog; someone seeking only a trophy log may find the surrounding library system unnecessary.

Discovery tools show games trending through community activity, countdowns for wishlisted releases, and new releases ordered by hype. A single dashboard combines Steam achievements, PlayStation trophies, and Xbox Gamerscore, so multi-platform players can review progress without switching services. Reviews, public lists, follows, comments, direct messages, badges, and a community feed make the product a social catalog as well as a private tracker.

Feature requests can be sent to [email protected], and in-app bug reporting is also provided. The marketing site says it uses no advertising or tracking cookies and embeds no third-party analytics or fonts; that statement applies to the site, while the placeholder policy leaves broader account-data handling unresolved.

Pricing

The free plan costs nothing and includes library import, game tracking, trophies, and backlog tracking. It is the sensible starting point for players who want the core catalog and progress functions without a subscription, although the published plan does not include the extra customization and advanced features reserved for Pro.

Backloggr Pro (Monthly) costs $2.99 a month and adds extra customization and advanced features. Backloggr Pro Annual costs $8.99 a year for the same stated additions, making it the lower-cost recurring option for users willing to pay upfront for a year. Backloggr Pro Lifetime costs 14.99 USD once and also includes those additions, fitting committed users who expect long-term use. No seat quotas, usage caps, trial period, or renewal terms are provided, so buyers should not assume limits or billing conditions beyond these prices.

Platforms

Backloggr is available on iOS and macOS. The App Store listing supports iPhone and iPad on iOS 17.6 or later or iPadOS 17.6 or later. It therefore suits Apple-device households, but readers using Android or Windows as their primary interface should look elsewhere.

Who it's for

Choose Backloggr if you play across PlayStation, Xbox, Steam, and potentially Nintendo Switch, want manual control over physical and indie games, and value completion analytics alongside a unified achievement view. It is less suitable for users who need broad non-Apple access or who are uncomfortable linking accounts while the privacy policy is unfinished.

Pros and cons

Pros

• Broad catalog: More than 350,000 games and 250+ platforms reduce gaps in a varied collection.
• Multi-service tracking: Automatic imports and a combined achievement dashboard bring console and PC progress together.
• Useful backlog analytics: Completion, hours, backlog depth, score, and annual review support deliberate backlog management.
• Flexible entry: Manual additions cover physical copies and indie games that imports may miss.
• Generous starting tier: Core imports, tracking, trophies, and backlog tools are free.

Cons

• Apple focus: iOS, iPadOS, and macOS availability excludes users seeking Android or Windows apps.
• Privacy uncertainty: The website policy is explicitly a placeholder, leaving important account-data terms incomplete.
• Pro detail is limited: Paid tiers promise customization and advanced features without specifying individual functions or quotas.

Alternatives

RetroAchievements is a free community service spanning Android, iOS, Linux, macOS, web, Windows, and an API; pick it instead when retro achievement support and broad platform access matter more than Backloggr's library analytics.

Trophy Hub keeps every feature free, has no ads, and includes 1 GB of cloud storage across Android, iOS, web, and Windows, making it preferable for a simpler free tracker outside Apple's ecosystem.

Game Rover suits users who want Android, iOS, and web access plus a free tier with defined game, list, sync, and Scout AI limits.

PocketPSN is the better fit for PlayStation Stars collectibles, custom lists, friend-filtered leaderboards, and forum discussions on Android, iOS, or the web.

AchieveAll offers tracking, syncing, communities, and a feed on Android and the web, with a paid tier for visual customization.

EveryGameStat is a free web and Windows option centered on linked accounts, a player card, library, and leaderboard.

GameSave is a Linux and Windows alternative with a free core app and optional paid expansion.

Achievement Scavenger is a free GNU GPL choice for Windows 10/11 or Linux/Steam Deck.

Verdict

Backloggr is a strong choice for Apple-based multi-platform players who want library organization, backlog metrics, and achievements in one place, with a capable free tier and inexpensive Pro upgrades. Look elsewhere if you need Android or Windows support, only want a focused achievement utility, or require a completed privacy policy before granting account access.
