Video game backlog tracking with community features
GameRoll is a video game backlog tracker and gaming community app for organizing games, deciding what to play next, and discussing games with other players. It records a library across platforms using four statuses—pending, playing, completed, and dropped—along with wishlists, favorites, and custom collections.
Beyond personal tracking, GameRoll combines a social activity feed with player ratings, written reviews, and game-specific discussion threads. Users can also share posts from supported social networks so GameRoll identifies the game and adds it to their Roll or wishlist without requiring a manual title search.
Features

Social sharing and game detection
Share posts from TikTok, Instagram, YouTube, Facebook, or X to GameRoll. The app identifies the referenced game and can send it to your Roll or wishlist.
Community feed and discussions

Use cases
Organize a cross-platform backlog
Replace an outdated spreadsheet with a single library that shows which games are pending, in progress, completed, or dropped across different platforms.
Choose what to play next
When several pending games compete for attention, spin the Roll to select one randomly instead of browsing the backlog manually.
Monitor future purchases
Save upcoming or discounted-game candidates to a wishlist and receive release notifications, with optional sale alerts for supported PC storefronts through GameRoll UNLIMITED.
Capture games from social feeds
Share a game-related post while browsing TikTok, Instagram, YouTube, Facebook, or X. GameRoll identifies the title and adds it to the Roll or wishlist.
