MovieScanner App Reviews

At first it wasnt working. Wasnt reading any of the barcodes. The next day it started working and reading every one of them! If this keeps working this is going to be a great timesaver!! Out of 10 scans only 1 artwork (SALT) displayed. So far well worth the $3.00 though. It scans so fast that I had scanned 10 DVDS before I realized I had to save after each one!

I have scanned over 380 movies in less than 24 hours and it has not found maybe 5. This app is awesome.

I have used this app for 1.5 years. It might not find a new movie in its server database but it usually has the cover art. Before this current version, it sorted the titles as they appeared. If the name started with "The", it sorted with the "T"s. The current version changes the movie titles that start with "The" and lists the "The" at the end of the title. It still sorts the movies with the "T"s. The other complaint is true: when scrolling to the movies that start with "The" in the "T" section, the app abruptly closes. Please correct this defect. Thanks.

Since updates cant retrieve photos online for selections!!!! Why did you ruin a great app?

Just okay. Does not display artwork at all on my phone. Marginal at best.

Nice idea, but has so many flaws it is not worth the $3.00. I am giving it three stars because I actually like that app. I just hope that the creators fix all the flaws and work to make it a better app so that it will be worth $3.00. Needs a way to add genres! Needs to be more accurate with descriptions (most of them have nothing to do with film)! Needs a way to remove trailers and add new ones (most of them have nothing to do with my films)! Needs a way to select titles from a list when movies with similar or the same titles are entered! Needs a way to add to the title images. Ex. I own the Errol Flynn version of Rudyard Kiplings Kim. When I scanned the barcode a completely different movie with a similar title appeared. I changed the info. However, when attempted to change the photo from that of the other movie to an image of mine, the only images that appeared in the image finder were pictures of Kim Kardashian and family. I should be able to use the camera on photo to take a picture of my movie and add it to the database or find the picture I want on the Internet and add it. Also, for $2.99 you should be able view your movies by genre, actor, director, etc. I should be able have the option of selecting genre "comedy", for instance, and a list of all the movies I own within that genre appear in list. It should be the same actors and directors (this would mean adding a "cast and crew" section in the movie info). Also, there should be the option of rating the films by giving them a number of stars. The rating should then show up in the movie list in the same way the genre does. I hope the creators of this app actually read the revues. The app could really benefit from all the suggestions that I and others have made.

I really like this app. I have a ton of movies and love the fact that you can scan them into your phone, send an email backup and sync it with another device. All of these are great. The downside is that when you add more movies later on and then sync the devices again, you now have duplicates, triplicates, and so on for every movie in your device. I recently bought 3 movies. After i put them in my phone I synced my phone with my ipad. Now every movie is in my ipad twice except for the three new movies. Fix this and Ill give you 5 stars.

This used to be a solid app. I have been an iPhone user for 3+ yrs and loved this app however I log in today and all my movies are deleted

App will just shut down on its own. Sometimes will not allow me to select covet art and at times it will not read the barcode without restarting the app.

Fails to launch 95% of the time. Used to be good but lately is not worth the effort. Update does not fix anything.

When I try to send a email back up it closes the email right away

I just found this app and love it but the 9/18 update messed everything up. I am unable to scan or type in anything since the update. I hope this problem can be fixed or the app will be useless. When working its a 5 but not as is, more like a 1

This app is just awful. It does NOT work. Save your money.

Just bought this and nothing happens. I scan something and the UPC comes up but it just says its scanning then times out. What the hell?

It is a fine app for keeping records of all of your movies and games. I personally can not get the program to scan a BarCode and have to either input the BarCode in manually or the Title in manually. I think that if the scanner part worked it would save much time organizing my collection. Seeing the movie cove at a glance is nice, being able to edit the title, description, and other lines is nice too. I gave it the rating I did because the product does not do what was promised, so I just put it in the dont ever buy from the parent company again catagorie. EVER! Make it work and I might change my mind, if not... I started out where I was going to give a 3 star rating, but after typing for a couple of minutes I find that I cant stand paying for something that doesnt work. I give it a 1 star just because it doesnt work as advertised. ...Ron

When u scan the movies it dont show up

I have an iPhone 5. Didnt read the reviews before I bought but the first two movies I tried came up really quick. One didnt have an image but title and info still appeared. The everything showed up. Will recommend. I have a vast amount off movies when Im done with my project I will come back give more info on.

Cover flow does not work. You cant search by one word. False advertising.

Ok got thi s app a bit ago and started scanning movies into it!! Loven it for movies then tried CDs for my music collection as well as a couple of books Just amazed at how fast it is to run thru codes! Easy to make folders and sort items for a home inventory list! All I can say is if you want an easy to use app look no further. It could be renamed to movies and more! keep up the great job update as needed but Just fantastic now!

This app has not failed on me once. Easy to use. It does most of the work for you. Very happy with it.
