GameTrack has tracked games on iPhone for years. Nook is the newer, design-led take on the same idea — and it treats a playthrough as the thing worth remembering.
GameTrack has been on the App Store since 2016, and using it today, you can tell. We tested it alongside Nook while building this page: the interface is a decade of additions layered onto a 2016 foundation, with dense list screens, controls that no longer match the rest of the system, and a visual language that stopped moving several iOS releases ago. Screens take a beat longer to appear than they should on modern hardware.
Longevity is a real achievement, and none of this means GameTrack does not work. But an app carrying ten years of interface decisions cannot start over without breaking the habits of everyone already using it, and that shows in every screen.
Most trackers model a game as one row with one state: you played it, or you did not. Nook models the playthrough instead.
Nook was drawn for the current version of iOS from the first screen. Native controls and system materials, real Dynamic Type support, a dark mode that looks deliberate rather than inverted, fluid animation, and layouts built for one thumb on a large phone. It opens instantly and stays responsive as your library grows, because nothing in it is a web view wearing an app icon.
That is the practical difference between an app designed for today's iPhone and one maintaining compatibility with a 2016 design. Put the two side by side and it is not a close call — the screenshots on the home page will tell you in about five seconds.
