Custom Playlists on Android
📋Summary
Introduce the ability to create, manage, and view custom playlists directly in LaunchBox for Android. This would match existing functionality in the Windows version and allow users to organize their libraries in more personal and dynamic ways.
❗Problem
Currently, there’s no way to create or view custom playlists on the Android version of LaunchBox. Users can’t group games by theme, series, or favorites, which is a major missing feature—especially for those who rely on playlists as part of their daily experience on Windows. Many have expressed disappointment that this feature is still absent after years of development.
💡Proposal
Add support for the following:
Manual creation of custom playlists
Add/remove games from playlists on Android
Display playlists in the sidebar like other platforms
(Optional) Sync playlists created on Windows via cloud or local copy
✅Benefits
Brings Android feature parity with Windows
Offers much-needed library organization tools
Satisfies one of the most requested Android features
Improves usability for both casual users and collectors

Hiya, sorry for the delay here. This would actually be dependant on having playlists on Android. I’ve gone ahead and created a request for this here:
Custom Playlists on Android
If it’s okay, I’ll merge your request with that one, since it’s an additional use-case that could be solved, but first we’d need to actually support playlists to make this happen
