Works, but can be improved – DVD Profiler for iOS Review

Generally, I like the app and what it aims to do. I am able to add titles to a list and use that list to make sure I don’t buy the same title twice. Unfortunately, I have stopped trusting it to accurately reflect what I have in my collection. Only after I cross check my collection with the app will my confidence change. —At least once when I was adding titles to my collection, I noticed that the app had jumped to an earlier collection number that had previously been assigned. Hopefully that problem has been fixed with an update. —Even with Nesting off, I still have to add separate entries for box set contents for them to show up on the alphabetical list. —Details for most American tv series are good and include sequential episode lists. Series from other countries usually don’t seem to have as much info, based on what I’ve seen in my collection. Also, some box sets do not list what films it has included in the set. —Most of my exercise DVDs are not found by barcode, so I either have to do a title search or make a custom entry. Custom entries may include title, barcode and country. No cover photo. —Recently my batch scans by barcode create a “Similar titles owned” banner in the top of each entry. If I add it to the collection from the item screen, the banner disappears. Not sure for how long. Also, the collection entry number seems to change when I add it. —When you access Features, all you can tell is the type of features it has, not what the features are. —When I browse the collection (e.g., search for cast member, crew, etc.), except for single entry results what I can call up for more details is always less than the number of results that are claimed to be found in the search results. —I can never get the upload to match the download, but I am able to update titles added.
