Good app until Vareitas stopped supporting it. I emailed the person who wrote the app and the company and have received no response. I believe they’ve just abandoned the app. It’s a shame, because I put so much time into setting it up. It says the app was updated 8 mos ago. I haven’t seen a change in almost 2 yrs.

App has not been promising lately. Reading the app developer webpage, it appears that Maureen arrested in kids games.
Ummmm, not what I'm looking for

I really don't like to be mean or negative on reviews but this app is not quite up to par. It takes a long time to enter a new movie and when it does get entered it often does not have all of the correct info. Editing my list was also a pain or nigh on impossible.
Excellent movie database.

Works well. Does everything you need it to. I have a large DVD collection and it handles it well.
Disappointed in support

I have used this app for years and LOVED it, but since the new iOS 11 rollout it is not working well. I have sent numerous emails to the developer and he has not had the courtesy to respond. When adding a new movie images do not import, some movies are not found, and the genre doesn’t import. This makes the app ver UN-user-friendly.?

This has been a great app however I just upgraded from Apple 4S to a 5S and when I Synced my data did not transfer. Any suggestions Red After loading update the app crashes when I try to add a new title or try to look up existing loaded titles. App is useless. Red5117 I would like to know if or when this app will get back to working as well as it did when I started using it a couple years back. Appears the app is not updated as often as before. Always get wrong movie title when adding, gives incorrect title when entered. Just seems to have a lot of bugs now. Was surprised to see you state not enough reviews yet, what happened? This app needs work.
Not a bad app...

I like this user friendly app but it tends to crash when cycling through titles and adding them. Pretty annoying particularly when you are first creating your library or creating collection lists.

It would be better if you could save with either the UPC code or just the name of the movie. Other wise it's a good app. Would give more stars but need to change the save feature. Update: now this is 1of my fav apps Since u can save with just the name I give it 4 stars. Only cause there is always room for improvements. And if I give 5 stars than that's like saying there is not.
Great app!

Just tested free app today and immediately upgraded to full version. Does everything I need. Have around 600 movies to database for first time and could not ask for anything easier than this. Tried other apps that did not have features I was looking for nor as easy to use. Thanks guys! Keep up the good work!!
