My Movies Pro - Movie Library App Reviews

I purchased this app some few months ago and are managing movies on a NAS file in Movie-Folder structure which worked well for the initial inventory. However since upgrading to MacOS X 10.9 the Application keeps crashing when scanning the folder share. Bug reports and Crash reports have been submitted two times, as well as three additional mails to the Customer Support team - no answer, no feedback, no bug-fix. Nothing. For a paid application the support is very very poor leaving paying customers with a non-working solution, especially when quick crash fixes are being highlighted in the description. The tool itself works fine. For TV series the name to series matching is very poor - e.g. files called „The X-Files S1xE02“ have been matched to completely different series, e.g. all TV series need manual correction. Movie management is great.

My collection is now 430 and keeps going. This is a must have! Super nice interface and sync between MacBook - iPad and iPhone flawless. Quick solutions from the support staff.

Update!! This program is absolutely amazing! The movies are always up to date on the database, so as soon as you buy a movie and scan it into the system via barcode, it is instantly added with up to date information. This is the ultimate movie database for you Mac, iPhone and iPad. Each movie can be scanned in and cataloged. You can find any information you need on any movie you own or put in the system and adding movies has never been easier. Keep up the good work guys!!

Over the years i tried several different apps to catalog the movies I own and rent. DVDpedia was among the best, which means to me that it was average. I had a lot of trouble matching movies to my titles as well as a couple of other minor problems, so I basically gave it up a few years ago. Now along comes My Movie on the MAS, and I am pretty excited about this app. First of all, a big shout out to the developer, who understands the value of offering a trial version for us to try out before buying. After a day of evaluating the trial, I returned to the MAS and bought the Mac OS X and the iOS versions. Before purchasing I had a question about importing a list of my past Netflix rentals and the dev was prompt with a reply. Potential buyers should also know that the dev has an active user forum where I searched and found answers to a couple of subsequent questions. I am extremely impressed with the UI and the ease of discovering all manner of popular as well as older not-so-well-known titles like Rififi and Mon Oncle. There are ways to do some customization, and a feature I like a lot is that you can create categories and put a film in multiple custom categories. I created categories for each of us in the family as well as an “all” category. That makes it easy to find those that a particular person likes. Finally, the information for any given film is really quite complete: Description, Extra Features, a complete cast list, and languages available for the audio tracks and subtitles. There are a couple of features that I won’t be using but others will find very worthwhile: Sharing on Facebook or Twitter, and, if you have the movie on your computer, you can choose to play it from within the app. This is an easy to use and attractively priced app that will please most every videophile.

This is an excellent App; I highly recommend it!

Great app could use sort by location. I would also like to see an easier way to use a handheld barcode scanner.

I first tried two other programs before trying the free iPad version of My Movies. What amazed me was when I was home as soon as I opened it, it synced with my iPad version the minute I opened it. Now that is my idea of syncing! As I write this review I am downloading the Pro version. I will write a indepth review later. Rich

My collection is only about 400 titles but this app is exactly what i needed. I use it on my iphone and ipad also and its great to have all devices in sync. The customer support is strong and they seem to be completely dedicated to making their app as good as it can be. Dont think I’d change a thing.

Very detailed. Lots of fun for the collector.

I was using Collectorz before, but they started to have issues with syncing and then with images for the covers. When I switched to this app I could use my iphone to scan in the movies and it works almost completely flawlessly. The syncing is perfect and I never have to worry if my iPad, iPhone, desktop, or any other device is in sync. They just are. I would highly recommend this app to anyone who wants to catalog their movie collection and keep it synced across multiple devices. No more buying duplicate movies.

I really love the app it self! I just wish they would have some explanation on what some the lines in the app means as I can’t figure it out. I have a large collection and this will help keep me from getting duplicates and keep track of which movies are being borrowed by different people. I would like to see a little better way of printing selected movies such as all John Wayne movies, so that you might be able to give the list to family so that they would be able to give you ones that you don’t have in your collection as gifts.

remember when you paid substantial money for “Programs”? Now we hate to spend anything for an “Application”. For all the money I spent in the past i get more use from this $20 app than most of the others combined. Great support, well thought out and continually updated. If you have a collection of movies you must have this. Ive got it on 4 devices now and refer to it daily.

Like the layout and the search function for adding titles. I wish you could sort titles by Director or genre though - that would be a very cool update to add!! Other than that, very pleased.

The app keeps on crashing all the time. I have a 2.5k movie collection can’t upload and sync it. What to do to get my money back?

Years ago I was a huge fan and user of a similar app that was, “yummy”, so to speak. Then they decided to hobble the app, pull the lame mobile app they had out and promised new things “coming soon”. A very long time passed and NOTHING. Enter "My Movies Pro!" These guys seemed to come out of nowhere, and did what the old champ SHOULD have done from the begining. Mac and iOS syncing, camera support, and everything else you could possibly want. Many times I’ve been at a store, saw a movie on sale and I can just pull out my phone & see if I have it. If I don’t, I’ll buy it, and scan it right away. Then I get home, open my Mac and the two are in perfect sync. Never buy a duplicate again! When you have a large collection, it’s too easy to lend out a movie and you never see it again. Now you can keep track of WHO you lent it to and even add a due date to remind you. This app rocks! But it for Mac, buy it on iOS!

I’m an “old guy” and have around 175 multi-season TV shows and over 1,500 movies that I have collected through the years - this app handles all that very well. Great graphics and descriptions/synopsis for the entries and no longer do I rent what I already own. I also get a lot of use from the “Wish/Wanted” list so I don’t buy the same film twice. With a collection this big, it is great to skim the shelves and see what strikes me to watch - it is like having ( my own ) video store in my pocket. There is always room for improvement, so if I could wish for one thing it would be better iTunes integration. But, as is, the entry of new items is quick and “magical” and the results are about as perfect as they can be. This app is always running on my Mac, iPhone & iPad, I would be lost without it.

We have over 1000 titles and love the flexibility of sorting to find actors, movies, where located, etc. It keeps getting better and the new update is fabulous. It contains so much information and is so easy to find movies. it is very fast and makes sure you have backed up your database. Love it.

Overall, I love this app. I have both the Mac app and the iPad app. I found to my dismay that, while the iPad app allows you to store digital titles from iTunes and other sources such as Amazon, when you sync using the Mac app those titles do not sync. Am I doing something wrong?

If this program actually worked, it would be pretty good. As it stands now, it is buggy, crashes constantly and errors out all the time. The WORST part of this is customer support, which iniitially asked for screenshots. They were sent these along with numerous explanations of what the program was exhibiting. No further contact. I wasted both my time and money on this this. Customer support is AWOL. Would highly recommend steering clear of this program unless they actually get it to work. I have a large collection and it just can’t handle databasing more than a few. If they ever reach out and help get this working (which it should do WITHOUT customer support) then I will be happy to give it more stars.

I have used this program for several years and it is one of my all time favorites. It has never given me a problem and I would highly recommend it for anyone.
