Got Nick?
Bottom line up front: this has proven to be a worthwhile purchase. The interface is relatively intuitive to use and the presentation of data is highly functional. I especially like the ability to back up the database to Dropbox. Scanning product bar codes with the in-built camera is not hyped enough. It is a very strong sales point in my book. The occasional crash or difficulty importing data has given me cause to send the author an e-mail or two. I've always gotten a quick, courteous and informative reply. More importantly, the issues I've looked for assistance on appear to have been addressed within an update or two. Kudos! In future iterations it would be very nice to see a good selection of cover art when manually updating entries. It would also be nice to see the creation of a database of user created movie information shared between all MyBoxOffice users.
Love love love it

This is an amazing app to keep track of my movies. Would like to see a random button to help pick out a movie if I'm having a hard time deciding what movie to watch.
Very nice app... Would like more info on the movies though

Nice app. Does what it says very well. There are a few miscellaneous issues that, once addressed, would make it a 5 for me. 1) the list of movies sometimes shows duplicates - it's intermittent and I haven't been able to figure out when/why it happens but a simple scroll down thru the list clears the duplicates. 2) I'd like to see more details on the movies like format (full screen or widescreen or at least aspect ratio), length of the movie and cast. 3) Cover art seems to get loaded at a low resolution so at large size, it's not a crisp picture. I buy a lot of movies cheap ($3 at Big Lots!) and this will keep me from buying duplicates. Scanning is VERY easy!! A strong selling point!
Great place to keep track of movies

This app is nice. I love having a place to store all my movies at on my phone. Before I just had a list of them saved on the computer, but this is great because it organizes it for me and I have it with me at all times. I especially like being able to see all the covers when you turn the phone on it's side. Two suggestions. I would like to be able to see how long each movie is. And the only other thing is, it would be nice if there was a feature that kept take of the last time I watched the movie, and I could sort by date watched. Right now I am just keeping track of last time watched in the notes section.
Good but needs more stability

I also own this developer's book database, which I really like, but right now this movie database seems to be unstable. I've started entering my movies & quite often after I've entered 5 or 6, I go see the list & movies are listed alphabetically wrong or twice or not at all. Then I close the app, come back a little later & they're all there. I hope he fixes this problem because otherwise it's a good app, just like the book one. Once the issue is fixed it'll be a 5 star app.
It's great... But...

I love the app, it is great for my OC tendencies. But being so anal also makes me hate the crashes that occasionally occur. Warning: do not scan a huge amount of barcodes before saving the few you already have... They may mysteriously vanish requiring you to re-scan. I can't help but wonder if there's an app like this for video game collections as well.
Good app

This is a good product that makes maintaining your movie library a breeze. Both scanning and manual entry take no time at all. One thing I'd like to see is the ability to pull in the movie details such as a summary and artists into the profile. Making this data searchable could provide filter capabilities by artist. Overall I would highly recommend it.
