AWESOME! App works great! Had been looking at movie list apps for about a year. Took a gamble on this app when it came out, have been using it for several months. Data carried over w/o a hitch from a 4 to a 5 (sync through pc) emailed copy of movie list to PC. Well worth the gamble! Now I'm not buying duplicate movies and can keep track of who has borrowed what. I am also using it to keep track of a book series that needs completed. App is very easy to use. You can scan in multiple titles at once, add your own cover photo and edit manually if needed. This app is worth the $ if you are wanting a simple user friendly way to keep track of your movie collection.
Best one Yet!

I love this app,,, It pulls data very nicely for my entire movie collect & allows me to share the list with others. I’d certainly pay for a desktop version ;-)
EXCELLENT movie cataloging app!

This app does everything you would expect in a movie cataloging app. Entry is easy, you can scan the barcode to have all of the information pre-filled or enter it yourself manually. It searches 7 different sources to make sure the correct information is displayed. If the information for some reason isn't correct, it can easily be changed manually. Even the cover art is displayed and your movies are listed in an iOS music like format. I buy a lot of movies, so having an app like this to keep track of them all is essential to avoid buying duplicates. My only gripe is that the barcode scanning starts to slow down once you scan in movies back to back, but hopefully that will be fixed in future updates. If you want an app to keep track of your movie collection, this is the real deal.
Is NOT as advertised

When I first tried this app it was like the first date with a gorgeous woman. I thought I’d found what I’d been looking for. But then, like dating that gorgeous woman, the true innards of the app are ugly as sin. MyBoxOffice fails miserably. Using it is onerous. There’s almost no info on how to manage the scanned data. After a lot of time gleaning over the web site I was able figure some things out and it was all bad. While it does a fairly good job of acquiring the basic info of a movie, if it misses anything, making corrections isn’t easy, especially the movie’s title. it’s an exercise in frustration. Once you’ve scanned your movies, you no doubt want to import the file to your Mac, right? It has a lame desktop app to download that’s a horrible Java app. It’s operation is impossible to figure out. I’ve seen better “my world” Java apps. You can also download the data as a CSV file via DropBox but the .csv file is horribly structured. Furthermore, you lose all the cover art. Lastly, if you download the app on other IOS devices, the data doesn’t sync via iCloud. Pitiful. Absolutely pitiful. In a nutshell, the basic concept of the app is good. Unfortunately, the execution of it horribly amateurish. The developer is clueless about how to make an app that’s user friendly nor even completely accomplish it’s intended purpose. Save your money and time and look elsewhere.
Used to be great

For some reason today, everything I scan comes in wrong. I've had to just manually enter them.
Junk

Please refund my money, seriously not one movie scans correctly. So please refund my money. Saying an app does something then charging money for it and it is broken is thievery. You have stolen my money please return it.
not quite a 5

The new update crashes the app whenever I try to look at the titles in my collection in portrait mode. In landscape, I can scroll through the covers. In portraitt mode, any action crashes the app. It has been rendered useless with the new app. Loved it before the update. Cant use it now. Try again, please.
Title search errors

Every time I enter a title to search it returns with a completely different movie than what the results that was chosen
