Hi all!

I am excited to announce that my RetroAchievements companion app, RA Tracker, has officially launched on the iOS App Store!

Version 1 has many capabilities, all designed around maximizing the RetroAchievements experience and feeling right at home on your iOS Device.

View your completion progress for all games you are earning achievements for

View awards for mastering a game

View all of your recently earned achievements

See users that have earned specific achievements

View the Achievement of the Week and get a notification when a new one is posted!

View the top ten user leaderboard

Add games to the Backlog to keep track of what you want to play

Search for games by console to see what games currently have Achievements to earn

Create a list of games to track completion progress

Follow other RetroAchievements.org users and track their progress and recently earned achievements

I would absolutely LOVE to hear feedback from the community.

Once the final API endpoints get enabled, I will start work on the v2 update which will have much more information for users.

If you don't know what RetroAchievements is, now is a great time to check it out!

Just downloaded the app to give it a shot and I like how easy it is to browse the available games in the RA library and points for supporting dark mode. A few things I would like to see to use the app more would be

The ability to search the entire library for something like Pokémon for example and see all games for all consoles instead of selecting a console and then searching each one for Pokémon.
It would be nice to be able to see what achievements I’ve already unlocked when checking my progress for a game
I like seeing the extra stats on an achievement when selecting it, but it would be better if we could see the achievement description without having to select each achievement individually. I think the browsing has a lot of potential, but just needs some tweaks to keep me from looking through games on RA itself!
I’m not able to see the achievements in the games I’ve mastered by clicking on the award and they don’t show up in the progress section so it their was a way to easily look at the ones I’ve completed that would be nice too.

Overall, I think this is a great start and I’m excited to see where this goes

Looks like an endpoint that will enable both of these features has been turned on. Working on the feature now!
