I don’t generally like writing reviews for apps, but I’m writing this one today because I can tell that this app is cared for. It is user friendly and incredibly unproblematic. I will absolutely be donating for the betterment of this app; it’s the least I can do for being able to keep track of all of my tapes! The only thing that I would change is being able to catalog TV shows, but I don’t have that many yet so I’m not worried about it for now. Thank you for being so passionate about your creation!
Developer Response
Thank you so so much for your kind words! That means so much to know people are loving the app that much (I also hate writing app reviews).TV shows are pretty tricky unfortunately, but maybe in a future release... I only have a couple myself too.Best thing I've read today.
THE Collection App

I've tried a few of these and this is by far the best designed collection tracker I've used. My only request is to be able to track TV shows too (maybe have the TV show as one item and then when you click on that, you can choose what seasons you have). Other than that, I absolutely love this!
Developer Response
Thanks Matt! I know, TV shows are a whole other beast... Maybe eventually ;)
Perfect. One request.

I love the fact that this manages everything without the need for an account. No social media nonsense or anything. Just simple and effective collection logging. One request would be to add a VHS category. Or an “other” or custom tag option.
Developer Response
Hey Luka! Glad you're enjoying the app, the no account experience is exactly what I wanted from the start. Not sure if you've checked out the latest update, but custom tags are now live! I hope this sorts out the pain point you had. All the best :)
Barebones but a solid foundation

There isn’t a lot going on here, which is for better or worse. Adding more movie formats would go a long way (LaserDisc, UMD, VHS, and Beta). It would also be cool to see TV added, or the ability to scrape your digital library right from Apple.Despite the limits, this is a really cool app that I hope continues to grow and mature.
