Best Film Collection App I’ve Used!
Jun 15

Watino64
This is a great app to keep track of your collection. Best one I’ve used! Easy to add a title (barcode scanner, search online, or manual input). It can also link a title to its IMDB page. It has tons of customizable fields (pretty much everything is customizable), a lot of filters, tags and categories options, a notes section for each release (which is great for including physical extras that come with a release or to explain what is on each disc), multiple backup options (I use iCloud), easy to navigate, and looks clean. I do hope one day the ability gets added to upload more than one photo of a release instead of only one. Would be nice for box sets and collector’s editions, and also for inside artwork, back side artwork, spine artwork. Also, the pinch-to-zoom ability for artwork would be nice too. The free version lets you add up to 50 titles, if I recall correctly. The paid version is only $5.99 (that’s at least what I paid a few months back), which is really affordable and you can add as many titles as you want. I highly recommend!

I bought the pro version because I have a huge movie media collection and wanted to finally keep track of it. I like that I can export to a PDF list and also have the collection with me on the go when shopping for used or new media. It's ok but it has problems that need to be addressed. -You have to scan a little at a time because it frequently gets the wrong versions or a totally different movie and sometimes it says it didn't scan one that it did or vice versa. -It seems to default to new reboot versions of old movies I've had to go back and check multiple times which is frustrating if you're trying to scan hundreds of movies. Sometimes it puts other movies that just have the same word in the title and aren't even connected to the UPC that you scanned. -Trying to scan a series of movie sequels is tedious when it shouldn't be (eg: Friday the 13th 1-10) it mixes them up and you have to manually fix them. - Boxed sets are also annoying and it cannot find most of them, I had to manually add. It's been a lot more tedious than I expected and not even halfway through. This needs a hefty update to have more accurate results, a UPC is connected to a specific version so not sure why it's often so wrong. I hope an update comes out that fixes this database, I'm still using it for now but we'll see.

This app is exactly the type of app I was looking for to catalog my movie collection. Scanning movies in is a breeze. It took me awhile to figure out that I could do several titles at a time, but now that I can, it’s a must faster process.The only reason I have not given 5 stars is that there are a few areas where the app is not very intuitive. 1) I can’t figure out how to export in a format the way I want it to look (cover art, title, & other specific criteria listed by itself). 2) I recently bought a new iPad & it proved to be frustrating trying to get my list to populate on that device. The exporting/importing required multiple attempts. 3) I want the same info to populate for all of my titles, but when I’m scanning them in, I also have to add fields. I wish there was a way for these to appear automatically.Overall these are fairly small concerns. I would still recommend this app to someone with a large collection of movies/shows.

Thank you for your feedback! 1) You can export specific fields via the "Fields" settings > Edit > Add Field Group, and then enter the group name and specify the fields. 2) You should select Settings > Sync > Select Service > Sync with iCloud > Confirm > Merge. Do that on both devices and your library will be synced. 3) You can select Settings > General > Fields to Edit, and specify which fields you always wish to appear on the New Movie / Edit Movie page.

If you are a person who likes to keep a record of the movies and TV programs you watch, or would like to watch, this app is perfection. I have spent years looking for some thing this simple - every other app is crudded up with social media and or advertising, and is so impossible to sort through that I had resigned myself to using Apple notes or Google tasks to keep track. With this app, you can very easily search on the Internet to download information for any movie or TV show you are hoping to see. You can keep the interface as simple as you like. On my phone I just have movie posters for everything in my lists. Click on the movie poster and you can access any information you need, (metadata, reviews, links to streaming services) and hide anything you don’t want to see. The UI is a little challenging, but the developers are incredibly helpful and very responsive. One quick email sorted me out. Love this app!
