Simple Tracker

Playing video games can sometimes become stressful, especially when you are trying to collect special items. If the video game provides some sort of guidance for it, then you're most likely going to use that to help you acquire the items. What happens if there is no such aid within the game and moreover you have to keep track of those items in order to finish the game? You use a game tracker. Simple Tracker is an application with a name that says it all.

The menu is more of a checklist

The application features two types of menus, a full and a compact version. In the full list or menu, you will have various graphic representations of game items. Clicking on each of them will color and thus mark them as found. The compact list is exactly the same, the only difference being that it's shorter and includes the most important of the items within the game. If you're a "collect them all" gamer then this application is for you, provided the games you need a checklist for are supported.

While the idea behind this app is pretty neat, one must agree that upon seeing the supported games, unless you are a fan of any of them, it becomes clear that this application in its current stage is pretty useless. Unless you are playing Zelda Ocarina of Time. Hollow Knight or Metroid Zero Mission, this application can't really help you out. One neat feature is that for certain items you can add capacity or amounts. This is most useful if you have more than one iteration of the same item.

Simple Tracker is an application that was built on a cool idea. Unfortunately, the small list of supported games makes it quite restrictive at the moment. Whether or not this will change in the future remains to be seen. The concept remains interesting, especially for those that adore using all sorts of game enhancements or aids while gaming.
