Best app I've ever purchased from AppStore!!! – My Movies Pro - Movie & TV Review

You. Need. This. I thought things were going digital, and stopped buying movies years ago. I didn't realize what a scam and expensive train we would be thrown on, not to mention never really have full control/ownership over our digital content on our own storage devices. And cable now charges to see movies from 20-30+ years ago! $3.99 to watch Twister if it's not featured on a cable channel that month...which is really several months or more the way they keep the same stuff in place for eons. We went back to DVDs and LOVE having no commercials again, and LOVE not being nickled and dimed to death. This app is making it a BREEZE!! This is the most well made and efficient app I've used in years. The developers thought of everything I would want to do to track my movies. (I'm a system designer and programmer with extensive experience in quality testing, so that's a huge compliment from someone who is highly detailed.) They went above and beyond allowing us to scan the barcodes rather than have to manually add titles. Then they went a step above that and allowed for "multi-scan" which makes your initial adding of your collection take about 1/1000th of the time it would take to manually add every one of them. Big hug to the developers!!! You can just keep scanning like a grocery store checkout, and when you are done you just tap add, and select the group to put them in. Done. ALL details about the movie and actors right there. Blows away ANY list app I've ever used. Then they went a step above all THAT and allow you to see trailers for all your movies, AND new releases too! The group categories were so thoughtful and insightful, I'll never have to make a new one; they thought of everything I would do. When I want to sell some of my collection, all I have to do is move those movies from Own-keep to Own-sell!! I can see all that I intend to sell in one group. I can also scan movies at a store and add them to a wishlist or a "to buy" group. When we want to watch a movie, we can sort through our collection using this app and it provides more information than my cable or on-demand guide, and much easier and quicker to navigate. ANOTHER big hug to the developers. Also much easier than poking through our shelves. I can't think of anything they could have done better in the way of basics for tracking what you already own - so you don't accidentally purchase again when you pass that awesome $2.99 deal bin in the store! And the fact that my Android husband has access to our collection list via the internet, and my kids can use the app on their iPhones, means that any of us can double check if we already own it, then purchase a movie and scan it on the spot so we have immediate updates. It's such a great app I feel guilty asking for more, but I'm going to anyway. Hee hee. DEVELOPER FEEDBACK: I hope you get a new media company for trailers SOON and get that back up and running again! (Currently have to connect to a YouTube trailer, but even that's done nicely and seamlessly- kudos.) And it would be great if you could import IMDB numeric n/10 ratings so we can decide what to watch or buy that we haven't yet seen, or haven't seen in a long time, and allow us to set our own personal ratings too, like 5-star ratings. That way we can see both ours as well as IMDBs. For instance: Guardians of the Galaxy IMDB: 7.8/10 Personal rating 5/5 stars. Maybe even have our ID replace the term "personal rating" like Joe's rating: 4/5 stars. ;) I chose IMDB because it has been the most accurate rating system out there that we've found. And one last request, please don't sell out to the big corporations like so many other great apps and companies do. Be loyal to us and we will pay to support you for your hard work. I'm even going to pop for the Mac app. It's worth every last cent. If you ever find that you have to sell out to the cable dogs or production companies, or a company like IMDB or Netflix that falls in love with your platform and get greedy, please please please leave all current features and capabilities in place for the prior owners of this app; as a loyal nod in our direction for our support. All new owners of the app would have the new limitations that would no doubt be put in place (like a flipping monthly subscription!) But not the owners before such a change. I'll pay your price up front to be left alone in peace, and I'll work hard to promote and support you. But I wouldn't if it became a greed-fest like so many other things nowadays.
