Have you been collecting DVD's, Blu-rays, PS3/Xbox/Wii games and video tapes and always wanted to have a current catalog of what you own? Until now, this was a cumbersome job involving a PC, some kind of database program and LOTS of time... but not anymore!
MovieScanner lets you build a compehensive list of your movies in an automated and convenient way - without typing! And you can take it on the road, too!
You simply scan the bar codes on the back of your DVD, Blu-Ray or even your old VHS cases. On devices without camera, simply type in the codes and get the same amazing result!
Movie data is automatically pulled from the internet using our own web service that is constantly being updated to guarantee the best possible hit rate. As data gets stored on your iPhone for offline reference, each movie shows up in the list with it's title, genre and a cover image. A powerful search option lets you find any movie in just seconds.
In details view, you can see a short description of the movie, the genre, and in many cases a direct link to the movie trailer! What's more, you can simply add a personal note and choose from 4 user-defined flags that let you mark any movie as especially cool, given to someone, on your wishlist etc.
With the new bluetooth multi-user option, you can even share your movie list with other MovieScanner users (not on 1st generation devices) - or eMail the list as a CSV or XML file.

This used to be a great app. Support was awesome. Have not used it in years. Went to update my library won’t work. Deleted/ re-installed nothing works. Have IPhone 6 Plus with the latest updates. Have they stopped supporting it. Was 5 star / give it barely 2 as it needs help. Scanner, photos, etc...
Give up

Back from the dead?

I had long ago given this app up as it hasn’t seen development in YEARS, but suddenly today I see an update! Hooray! The release noted even called out a big being fixed that was really bothering me. However, sadly, the image picker still isn’t working on the American Gods Blu-ray (oddly, it seems to be working on some others). Also, the ability to tag movies with “borrowing” and other labels is now broken (before, it would pretend to let you pick a tag from the list, but would only ever apply the first tag). I love all the features this app has and I hope that today’s update means they plan to keep developing it and fixing the bugs.
Dont work.

When I had first bought this app it worked fine. Now it does not work. I will scan a movie and It will not find any info on the movie. Some movies I have to scan several times. Please fix. Wasted my money on this app. :(
Stay Away From This App

This app is crap and its creators are crooks! We really need a Zero star rating and info on how to lodge a complaint with Apple on App Developers who take your money and don't know what they're doing!
So far so good.
Zombie Dan!!
At first it wasn't working. Wasn't reading any of the barcodes. The next day it started working and reading every one of them! If this keeps working this is going to be a great timesaver!! Out of 10 scans only 1 artwork (SALT) displayed. So far well worth the $3.00 though. It scans so fast that I had scanned 10 DVDS before I realized I had to save after each one!
Great app

I have scanned over 380 movies in less than 24 hours and it has not found maybe 5. This app is awesome.
Change to not sort on "The" causes app to close
Wringer
I have used this app for 1.5 years. It might not find a new movie in its server database but it usually has the cover art. Before this current version, it sorted the titles as they appeared. If the name started with "The", it sorted with the "T"s. The current version changes the movie titles that start with "The" and lists the "The" at the end of the title. It still sorts the movies with the "T"s. The other complaint is true: when scrolling to the movies that start with "The" in the "T" section, the app abruptly closes. Please correct this defect. Thanks.
Update not good

Since updates can't retrieve photos online for selections!!!! Why did you ruin a great app?
