Stash — app for gamers.
Story of devs that want to change gamers community.
We’d like to provide you some understanding what is about our application and why you definitely want to install it.
Prehistory
So, I would like to start from the part who is behind the development of Stash application. We are gamers that are passionated in gaming, e-sports and from early childhood play, watch how someone plays and track what is new on market. The problem in current gaming community is a huge amount of informational noise around games, when you use google or some social network you’ll see a lot of information about different games and part of this information is probably paid. Yeah, it’s a disaster to find the real thought of a blogger or even the official account of a big project. What to do in a such situation? How to build a system in which only user’s mind will be important for game rating? Our team were thinking about this for a long time and came up with the solution to take this on our own and fix this 🙂 We have pretty solid software background and we’ve made a huge impact for different companies. Now we have strength left for making the gaming community better for ourselves and for you, of course.
Functionality
Application is already released and this is a time to discuss what we’ve already done and what will be done in the nearest future. This specific points must provide you information about should you install this app or not, so, read carefully 😁
Home:

This screen is the first one user sees on launching the application. The main purpose of it is to give the most useful and relevant information. As you see there is no unneeded information, not overloaded interface, just the latest releases that might be interesting for everyone. You can simply open the app and see what is new on the market, without any slogans, ads and so on. At the moment it may seem like very boring screen, but we are on the way to adding new functionality like other lists: upcoming games, popular ones and even more.
Search:

Search! What are you waiting from search? So we are 🙂Obviously search screen must to search and it might be the only thing it must do. Yes, it’s the only thing our search is do. Games ranked by popularity while you are entering text, so, you probably will find what you are looking for before entering the full name of a game. Our early users gave us an advise to make filters by platforms, years and so on, and you know what? We will add this for sure 😉 Where have you seen such reaction of feedback? We are open to ideas of the community, because we are a part of it, so, maybe your idea will be in a future release, who knows.
Game:

Oh, it’s my favourite. This is the screen where the magic happen 🙂 Let’s take it in order: you see the details screen of a game, we’ve thought something like “it must provide the full amount of game information in a simple and usable way” and we think we’ve done this. Here you can see game cover image, name, date of release, platforms, overall rating, description provided by publisher, publisher name, developer name, screenshots, watch trailer video, you can open list with game series and addons. You can add game to wishlist, add game to played list, add your review, rate game and in future will be added much more functionality here, it’s the heart of application and it will be enhanced from release to release for sure. Yes, a lot of information, but just look how it is organised on a page, using the newest UX approaches we’ve made it so convenient for you, one swipe and you know all the information you need to choose the game. Fantastic screen, I can’t understand why are you still reading? I’m personally would be already installing Stash application 😁
Manage your lists

One feature that we can’t leave without attention is list management. So, we have two lists: wishlist or “want” as we call it and “played” list. “Want” works super easy, because tap on “want” button will just move a game to your wishlist without any questions. With “played” list things become much more interesting. First of all you choose the game that you’ve played earlier. Then in the presented window enter your comment or leave it empty, select whether you’ve completed the game and rate this game. After all preparations done you need to press “Save” button and that’s it, game is in your list! All data that you’ve entered will be used to rank games, also maybe some of your comments will be the most valuable for gamer that is looking in which game to play 😉
Conclusion
We have some more screens in the application, but they mostly for your comfort and you’ll see them by yourself. The main point of whole article is to show you that such cool application exists and we are waiting for you in our community, let’s build it together, any ideas how to make it better are welcome.
