Not Happy
Rmwbauer
I'm not happy I have to pay two bucks to make a list of all the movies I own. I'm going to keep searching for a free applicaton that will let me rather than buy the full version.
Eh, I've made better in Access

I'd like to be able to see more info about the movies such as actors, dirctors, writers, etc. Or atleast a link to IMDB or something. For just the bare basic need of organizing, it's ok.
Needs update desparately

Cannot retrieve blu-ray UPC codes and should retrieve some imdb info.
Good app, needs some tweaks

The app is nice. Still has a few minor bugs but they added bluray support and some other features. Now my big problem is when I add a movie with numbers for the name, ex: 300, it does not show up when I sort by title. But shows up everywhere else. But I do give it a 4.5.
Close

It would be an awesome app if u didn't limit it to 5 movies before you had to buy. Lame. I'm gonna delete now.
That's not even a full star

Interface is ugly. Where's the synopsis?what's with all the ugly tabs? They should be hidden when your not editing!!! Why is the movie cover at the bottom? This app can be much better.
okay, but can be a ton better

current version has a bug in it that forcrs it to start up on a screen of 3d style cover viewing of your titles.. you keep having to touch everywhere on the screen and with swipe gestures all over the place to get it to pull up the actual utility portion of the app, this needs to be fixed, its mostly useless until fixed

This app does have potential. It is feature rich and well thought out. Unfortunately, severe stability problems make the app eval-quality at best. I will eagerly await a bugfix release, and use a generic dbase product in the interim.
You need a what?

Realy? You need a UPC code to enter a movie. Thats realy weak. I've got a movie collection of 600+ movies that I have stored in sleves so my living room doesn't look like blockbuster video. I have no way of getting the UPC info, the covers have long been thrown out. Very disapointed that the UPC IS A REQUIRED ENTRY.
Great app!

Hats off to developers such as Josh that give you a chance to try an app before buying! This app is perfect for me. I can scan my movies and the info I need appears, mainly the title of the movie. I have 160 movies in my collection and I don't want an app that I have to type in every title! I used a Palm for 10 years and I typed each individual movie into my database program and did NOT want to have to do it again! I will be buying the app based on my experience with the free version. Thank you, Josh, for allowing customers to download a trial version before they buy!
