New VGCollect Android App Released

[xprenn]

Just downloaded this app, but I can't sign in. Getting "incorrect username or password". I'm using Lastpass, so the password is definitely correct. Lastpass also doesn't detect the login form in the app, even though it works in other apps.

Maybe don't use Lastpass.

As I mentioned, Lastpass doesn't work in the app. I tried copy pasting the password and manually typing it, but it won't let me sign in.

I tried something else and was able to log in now. My password had a # symbol in it, I was able to log in when I removed that...

I can't seem to find the app in the PlayStore. Does it still exist?

[tripredacus]

I can't answer that specifically, but I believe it was reported that it didn't work since the site had the problem a few months ago.

Does VGCollect offer an API for developers to use? I am building an app for managing collections of physical media. For example, Discogs does that for music media.

[tripredacus]

I don't know the status of the API. I do not believe the endpoints are exposed nor is there any public documentation available for it.

[igorevich]

Who would be the right person to ask about availability of the API?

I am aware that other options for video game APIs exist. My reasoning behind asking is offering a choice between APIs for the same media type (in this case, video games).

Hello!
I’m developing an app for this site—for both iOS and Android.
I mainly built it for myself because the site's mobile version is useless, but if people like it and the owners agree... I could share it with the world!

As it stands, it supports importing/exporting the collection dump, searching, filtering, images, descriptions, "pull-to-refresh" from the online source (since otherwise, it just performs a one-time local download), and so on.

I haven't yet worked on a login system or the corresponding database updates needed for cross-platform syncing—mainly because that would require a formal request to the admins.

I’ll keep you posted once I have a version 1.0 ready, as for now I'm at 30% let say.

So I just finally switched from iOS to Android, only to find out the VGcollect app is nowhere to be found. Will it be back on the Play Store soon? Otherwise do we have an APK file I could download?
