iCollect Movies: DVD Tracker +4

‘I collect Movies’ is a fantastic application for maintaining a personal movie collection. It is very simple to operate, taking just a couple of button pushes to capture and store your movies. It has a built-in barcode scanner. For those items ‘without’ a bar code…no problem, you can easily enter your movie's information manually. There is a detailed menu of items you may select, or manually add for each movie entered into the database. The app also can capture (using your phone's camera) your movie's front and back artwork if it doesn't automatically appear after scanning the barcode.

I am happy to give ‘I Collect Movies’ a 5 STAR rating!🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

I use this app for cataloging my large VHS collection. I have almost 3,000 VHS listed on this app. I really like that I can take a picture of my tapes and enter tapes that may not have barcodes. All in all, a pretty easy app to use. However, a bad flaw in this app is that it randomly deletes entries. The point of using this app is to have easy access to my list so I don’t buy a tape I already have (when you reach the 2,000 mark, you will forget what you have) and to help me organize my tapes by allowing me to look up a tape to see where it is in the house. A major flaw in my opinion. Also, some of the data under the entries cannot be deleted after another user fills in the information. For example, if someone marks the tape as being subtitled, you cannot mark it otherwise. A small problem, but it would be nice if all of the data under the entries were fully customizable. I only run into this problem when I scan the barcode on a VHS and there is already an entry for it by another user. So an easy workaround is to just manually enter the tape without the barcode information, although it’s kind of inconvenient. Overall, I find the app pretty easy to use but it does have a lot of bugs.

Purchased this app to catalog my massive movie collection of well over 5,000 Blu-ray and VHS. I have spent countless hours on this app taking photos and cataloging over 1,200 films from my collection with thousands more to go and it was all in vain! In the middle of cataloging a movie the app randomly shuts down which deletes all of the information that I just entered, wasting all of my time. Even after successfully saving the info from one of my movies the app will remove any given film from my collection at any given time. This defeats the purpose of the app. The point of this app is to preserve your collection for the future and it does the very thing that you’re trying to prevent by deleting a film from your collection. Also this app does not allow you to view your collection while offline. I wish I could take back all of the countless hours that I’ve wasted using this app. Given enough time, this app will eventually delete every single saved film from your collection. I would have been better off handwriting my film collection in a notebook than using this pathetic app! Save yourself from making the mistake that I and many others have made and don’t even bother downloading this pathetic app.
