sadly no proper f95zone api yet, youll have to scrape and parse the threads manually for the most part, but i have all my code opensource so feel free to take inspiration!
Recently a game got deleted (or the thread private for some reason) from F95 and it was on my list. The app said that I have no access to it or removed and I can delete it or keep it on my list. I decided to keep it if It's come back. About a week later I noticed that there is no update notification (or other) any of my listed games. The problem was that I kept the game on the list and that way it skipped the updates. It does not matter if it's automatic on start or manual.

At first I was joking but if you're looking for opinion, yes I'd be interested in mobile f95 checker

Something similar happened to me as well.
WillyJL has more important things to deal with for the moment, I'm sure the issue will be resolved in good time...

Happy UniDay, WillyJL.
I use vpn for F95. But it dose not work with F95 Checker. My vpn is global mode, and i start it before Checker. But still, a connection to F95ZONE failed. I have set wokers-1&timeout-120s. But still no luck. And by the way, when i clicked the links for github,f95 and donation on the right bottom, nothing happened. So i think i might miss something vital for function, but no idea what.
Here is the detail log.

A couple minor ssues...
1) I can't figure out how to remove a filter without getting an error or initiating a search of F95. Pressing
FWIW, my personal preference would be that pressing
2) If games are sorted by the Notes field and something is typed in that field, the game's sort location may be automatically adjusted. Nothing wrong with that, but depending on the circumstances it can be moved "off screen" in which case the field loses focus, and anything further that is typed ends up in the search/filter field.
1) I can't figure out how to remove a filter without getting an error or initiating a search of F95. Pressing
Enter with the filter in place results in a search of F95. Completely deleting whatever was typed results in a seemingly arbitrary filter being applied. Pressing Enter when the filter field is empty results in an error:You don't have permission to view the spoiler content.
Log in or register now.
Esc would clear the field and return to an unfiltered state.2) If games are sorted by the Notes field and something is typed in that field, the game's sort location may be automatically adjusted.

what i could add is a toggle to not check notifications (alerts and inbox)
yeah, a missing game thread is counted as a refresh error, and therefore interrupts the refresh process, so games after that one will not be checked, and the refresh order is mostly arbitrary (id say random but it isnt, its just not a logical order to us) so you also dont know whyat was checked or not. ill try to improve on these kinds of errors, maybe continue checking and show a summary of games that failed to be checked at the end of the refresh.
as for the false notification, well im not sure. the notification will show ALWAYS and ONLY when either:
the exact game name string is different - could even be an added space or different capitalization
the exact version number string changes - same as above
the status changes - normal to abandoned, on hold to completed, and so on...
if you got the notification there was a reason for it, and the update popup shows the detail that was changed to cause the update notification.
planned as a custom tag system
mentioned it above. currently a check error will always cause the refresh to fail, and therefore stops checking other games. so yeah its normal that you didnt get other update notifications, but also not ideal. ill work on it
hm ok well, those error messages arent really useful since the important bit here is represented by ?????????, indicating that your system language is not english and the interface cant display those characters. most i can do is suggest the usual: maybe its antivirus, maybe its firewall, could be anything.
known issue. there was a bug in pyimgui where deleting didnt actually delete, but replace with null characters, so it would be filtering by null characters, which makes no sense. fixed in the beta builds, havent gotten around to make a proper release yet
hm yeah, sorting by notes and editing them does pose an interesting problem... will have to think about what could be done...
It's currently kind of hard to see which games have an update available. How about making a colorful icon for that? Or maybe instead of unchecking the installed checkbox, make that one another color or symbol?
Alternately an additional column would be nice as well, so we could sort/filter for games that have an update available.
PS:
Really looking forward to the custom tags!

Hey that's funny, I made a software for myself as a personal project that is basically some kind of GOG library/launcher, allowing me to launch and manage my games from any platform from the same place. For F95 games I'm also sending requests like you do to check if there is a new version online by catching a URL redirect, but that's about it. It put a smile on my face to see that we used the same technique 
I stumbled across one of your comments and saw your tool in your signature, very well done, features wise and looks wise. I will use your tool and get some ideas for my own soft at the same time
Keep it up, that's a good thing you're doing for the community. Have a nice day !

dont really like that idea, i find its fine like it is now. you could try sorting by the installed checkbox? ill remind you that theres multisort so you can sort by that and also add a secodnary and maybe tertiary sort option! check the FAQ for that

Just released 9.4 since it had many very needed changes and fixes that were left hanging since i got lost in other stuff. Still many planned features and fixes that havent made their way into this update, those will come sooner or later

The problem is that when an update is found the Installed checkbox is auto-unchecked, so sorting is of no use in this case. This is really only a concern to me because I have interface scaling at 1.5 and the update available icons/text can get lost in the noise and in some cases pushed beyond the field. And it's not even a big concern, but here's a few possibilities that have come to mind:
- Add a way of filtering games with updates as part of the
You must be registered to see the linksconcept. So if an update is found when the Installed checkbox is checked, the program automatically applies an "Update Available" label or whatever in addition to unchecking it. And of course once the user checks the box again the label would be auto-removed.
- Put a shooting star icon before the game name, assuming it wouldn't interfere with sort by name.
- Change the color and/or style of the text after the game name when there's an update available so that it stands out.
- Assuming the Installed checkbox is
boolbehind the scenes, maybe it could be changed tointor something so it could have three states: 0 for false/unchecked, 1 for true/checked, and 2 which is set exclusively by the program if an update is found when it had been set to 1. This would presumably allow games with updates available to be grouped separately when sorting by Installed.
Of course, the best solution for me would be to stop downloading games before I'm ready to play them, because I also use the field to indicate I've merely downloaded a game.
Edit: 3-4 are largely the same as suggestions from lewdypie. Probably should have read his full post earlier.

saw there's an update available. That means you had some free time from studies, right? glad to see you're available
While running the update, noticed there could be a counter (like 1/5, 2/5 etc.) for the installation. I felt like it took a long time and there's a lot of progress bar that reset or even go in reverse (nice feature tho)
Having a general idea of how many progress bar will have to fill could be a nice feature to add

Played checkbox is bool, installed checkbox is str. it remember what version number you marked as installed, and the checkbox will be ticked as long as the installed field is equal to the current version string
2 and 3 seem the most reasonable to me, I’ll work something out. 1 would make sense, but I’d prefer to keep labels as purely user managed
Just realized that too lol, seems like I skimmed over the first part and focused on the adding a column part, which I think is excessive. I’ll probably either add an icon before the name, or make the color of the version text customizable, or both. We’ll seeEdit: 3-4 are largely the same as suggestions from @lewdypie.

Disappointing, but maybe this will motivate me to try to make a fork since you don't want to implement my other auto-label idea either.
