4.6 out of 5
No supported AFTER purchase

After downloading iCollectMovies I proceeded to enter my collection. Though no indication of a “cap” for free version I assumed that when 10 entries were put in and would not except anymore that was my limit. I could tell right away that I would enjoy iCollectMovies so I proceeded to purchase for $9.99.

The next day, after entering more than 130 entries iCollectMovies could not connect to their server. I decided to log out and restart my phone just to confirm it wasn’t me. iCollectMovies nor the website could verify my account. After contacting support I was advised that iCollectMovies is no longer supported and was in the “process” of being removed from iCollectMovies Store. I was advised to download a different app and that my purchase would transfer.

I proceeded as directed and downloaded the new app. I followed their directions in order to transfer only to get an error on my phone stating “ never purchased”.

I reached out again to support to hopefully resolve this issue. This is ridiculous & very misleading to go through all of this.

ABSOLUTE GARBAGE!!! A WASTE OF TIME!!!

Purchased iCollectMovies to catalog my massive movie collection of well over 5,000 Blu-ray and VHS. I have spent countless hours on iCollectMovies 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 iCollectMovies 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 iCollectMovies will remove any given film from my collection at any given time. This defeats the purpose of iCollectMovies . The point of iCollectMovies 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 iCollectMovies 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 iCollectMovies. Given enough time, iCollectMovies 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.

Great inventory app!

Update:
I responded to an email sent to me by the Sort It creator stating iCollectMovies is no longer supported. I downloaded the supported app and requested an import (several times) and only received more generic emails. No support. While I think iCollectMovies was exactly what I needed, I don’t appreciate not having my concerns addressed. Therefore, I would not recommend this particular app.

I downloaded iCollectMovies to inventory what turned out to be over 800 DVD’s. It was well work the $10 to scan in the majority of my collection! There are several sort options. I also like the ability to click on a movie and see the synopsis. I noticed a funny option to shake your phone and let iCollectMovies select a random movie to watch. I imagine we will use that to resolve the “what do you want to watch?” conundrums we often face. Great app, I highly recommend it for whatever type of inventory you want to set up.

I really like this app but......

I really like this but I spend about 2 hours putting in some of my movies putting in the custom info only to open iCollectMovies today only to find out it removed like 20 movies disappointed but I was like ok I’ll just put them in again closed iCollectMovies for a bit came back to it like an hour later it put all 20 movies back so I deleted the doubles and it deleted the 20 doubles and the original 20 I really like iCollectMovies and wanna buy it but not if it’s gonna delete and add movies all the time I have like 500 movies and don’t wanna sit here everyday worry that I’m gonna buy a duplicate or I’m gonna have to fix my list all the time please fix or give me advice on a fix please and thank you

Updating

I would have rate it higher but there’s as time goes buy it seems to lag more and more when updating my collection. Now when I search for movies to add to my “wish list” they either don’t appear or it takes some time to see add it to the list. Once I opened iCollectMovies to find that all my movies where not there as if I never entered anything ... so I had to add my collection once again and mind you I have over 2000 movies. So that wasn’t a pleasant experience.
I am currently looking for another app since this one seems to have been abandon by the developers I rarely see updates on it to improve.

Easy App to Use with One Major Flaw

I use iCollectMovies for cataloging my large VHS collection. I have almost 3,000 VHS listed on iCollectMovies. 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 iCollectMovies is that it randomly deletes entries. The point of using iCollectMovies 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 iCollectMovies pretty easy to use but it does have a lot of bugs.

Decent app but search is lacking and no ability to sort by genre is baffling

In general iCollectMovies has been helpful in corralling my extensive collection of movies and keep track of what I have. The features it does have are easy to use, and the sorting and searching features it does have are OK.

That said, it’s missing what I’d consider some fundamental capabilities that really hinder its potential and overall usefulness.

First, there is no way to filter the films by genre, even though it’s an editable field. This to me is a basic need - if I feel like watching a horror movie, I want to be able to see all the horror movies I have together. The fact that I can sort by studio but not by genre is strange to me.

Second, I thought maybe then I’d be able to search by genre name instead, but alas, search only pulls from the title. So even that doesn’t work.

Overall, it’s been a useful app to have for my collection, but I’m really disappointed that it doesn’t have some of this basic functionality above. An update that allowed for filtering by genre would make be update the rating to 5 stars definitely.

Would’ve been great…

I have a lot of dvd’s and was looking for a way to catalog all the movies I have so I don’t accidentally buy a duplicate. iCollectMovies started out great and it’s convenient that I can just scan the barcode of the movie and it automatically adds all the information in and sorts the movies. Unfortunately, there’s a 30 movie limit before it wants you to purchase more space. If I only had 30 dvd’s, I probably wouldn’t need to use iCollectMovies to catalogue them. I do appreciate that it’s a one time purchase instead of a subscription but it’s $30. Had it been $5-10 I might have considered it but $30 is a bit much.
This might work better for a small business that wants to keep track of their inventory but unfortunately it won’t work for me.

Great app

I love iCollectMovies. I have a small collection of just over 300 titles and iCollectMovies helps me keep track of them. Unfortunately, there’s one problem. There’s no search bar. I know that 300 titles is not a large collection, but it’s still a lot and it’s pretty tedious having to scroll or manually search through cabinets to see if I own something I want to watch. A quick search function would really help in all of the database apps, as I know people whose optical media collections contain thousands of titles. Thanks for your consideration and once again I love having iCollectMovies in my life.

Mostly great app, some shortcomings

While iCollectMovies allows for easy entry of movies, fast searches, tracking loan outs, recording date of purchase and purchase price along with a number of other features, there are still two areas where it falls short. For true movie aficionados, these are big items hence my downgrading iCollectMovies from a 5 to a 4.

What’s missing is there is no way to indicate that the movie is in Atmos, and they still have not added the 4K option under resolution. Both of these have been available to the consumer public for long enough now, and more people have 4K and Atmos in their home theater setups that these appear as glaring omissions. I even emailed support about a year ago and there has still not been an upgrade to iCollectMovies to resolve.

If they could fix those I’d happily give iCollectMovies 5 stars. As it stands now, I can’t.

Awesome for Steelbook Collectors!!

I rarely will pay more than $5 for an app. But this was totally worth $9.99 for the paid version! I’ve been collecting Steelbooks for a few years now, and wanted something to organize everything in my collection. iCollectMovies makes it so easy! Scan the barcode with your camera, and it instantly finds your movie, along with all of the specifications, and the exact cover photo of the Steelbook! They make it easy to find movies you don’t have a barcode on too!

Highly recommend iCollectMovies for people like me who love collecting Steelbooks!!

Pleasantly surprised

I recently switched to iCollect Movies from one of their competitors. I’ve only just begun to transition my collection but from what I’ve seen thus far this is the beginning of a beautiful relationship. iCollectMovies has none of the nuances of iCollectMovies I was using… and that’s a good thing. I have an extensive collection of DVDs and Blu-rays. iCollectMovies now gives a way to cross-reference those pesky movie collections that are on single or multiple disc sets. So now I know when I have movie that is buried in a collection and avoid buying duplicates.

Easy to organize your collection no matter what format

iCollectMovies made it easy to scan the barcodes in bulk of my physical media. We all know physical media is the absolute best picture and sound - NO COMPRESSION! So go buy your favorite 4k format movies and keep track of what you have with iCollect Movies. AND enter the movies you bought online so that when you want to watch a movie, look it up in your iCollect Movies database and know if you have it to watch on the bluray Player or if you want to stream your copy. ENJOY!

Do I have this movie?

This is a great way to be able to quickly check and say, “yep!” Or add it to your wishlist when you get a good recommendation. Or mark it as loaned (and to whom, when) when you want to make a recommendation. Tip: I loan movies to myself when I want to remind myself to watch a new acquisition or re-watch something of which I was reminded. The bulk barcode scan allows you to get your whole collection loaded in no time, and you can save and export and share your list using the Sort It! web version.

Had to re download

Had iCollectMovies for years and the new updated Apple software for my phone would not allow me to open up the movies app to add my new movies. would not allow me to sign in on iCollectMovies , so I deleted iCollectMovies re downloaded iCollectMovies would not allow me to sign in my account. I made a new account and at the beginning and all my movies are zero have to go and re scan all my 1500+ collection, that being said I am digging the new interface.

iCollect Movies App

I can’t say enough good things about iCollectMovies the fact that it just works gets two thumbs up from me. I love that icollect allows the user to easily scan in movies from our collections and most of the content is already filled in immediately is amazing. Not only is iCollectMovies user friendly but the content creators are also very responsive to questions and feedback. Thank you for making an easy to use app. Much appreciated.

Excellent when it works

I’m very pleased with iCollectMovies and it has made keeping track of my movie collection easy. I like that you can list by title or date or other criteria. When it works you simply hold your phone over the barcode and it immediately provides a Photo (of the cover), Title, Format, & Date. Unfortunately it only works about 75% of the time; the rest of the time you have to input all or some of the information manually. Still well worth the cost and recommended.

Fantastic!!

I have added all my movies to iCollectMovies! It helps me so much when I'm out and about shopping and I happen to see a movie that catches my eye, I can look to see if I have it 😃 I have been adding all my movies to binders to get rid of all the cases ( so much more room)!! But when I started to add my movies to iCollectMovies, I found out that I have multiples of a few movies. Oops 😬 a Tip if you need binders they have some on Temu 400 count but if you don't need that many they have fewer ones. I got a couple one to replace one that is falling apart. they are so adorable!

Terrific App (Most of the time)

I hate giving iCollectMovies less than 5 stars but I have to be candid about my routine challenges wit it when doing so on my iPhone. iCollectMovies often will not open until you close and reopen it over and over. And, often times, if I’m listing more than one title at a time, or take too long editing fields, iCollectMovies crashes saving none of my work resulting in my having to start all over.

Great App

This is one of the best Apps I own. I have well over 1300 movies and he keeps them all organized and if I want to know whether I have one or not I can easily go to the program and find out whether I own that one or not. Filing it in the system is so easy all I have to do is scan the barcode and everything comes in automatically. Thank you for a great app. I give it five stars easily more if possible
