My Movies Reviews

Most of the time the barcode doesn’t scan, or sometimes it will if I hold the camera over it for a full minute first. So far only 5/30 movies are in the database. Even famous movies like White Christmas, Annie, and Shrek don’t come up when barcode is scanned. And even if recognized it would be nice to do a batch add to the collection instead of having to click the movie then add to collection once it’s recognized. Needs to go look at how some book database apps work to get an idea of better flow.

First, let me just say how much I love MyMovies. It is a life-saver in tracking the films I own and collect, and I also use it for tracking the movies I've seen. One thing I've noticed, though, is in categorizing my "Watched" movies by director, many of the films I've recently added are not listed under the director's page (i.e. I just watched two Ang Lee movies for the first time and logged it in MyMovies , but they don't show up when I go to the "Director" category under my watched films, even though he is listed as the director for both films within MyMovies ). Also, for some reason the DVDs I enter are not saved to my account, only on MyMovies (which I guess kind of makes sense, as they are a "Blu Ray" based site). These are minor complaints, and I really am pleased with MyMovies and what it allows me to do. However, I would love for these small issues to be resolved in a future update.

I love that I can keep track of all my movies and whenever someone asks if I have a certain movie, I can look and see if I have it. I like that it keeps track of all new releases and sales. Another great touch is that it goes through all the different releases of a certain film in physical media. My only complaint is that it counts a box set as one film, regardless if you have multiple films in a box set. Another thing, I hate that it doesn’t have every release ever, which then again that would be impossible to do but, I have like 4-5 films that don’t show up on MyMovies or website but other than that, this is a great app for movie lovers and collectors!

App is working well for me on the iPhone 11. Very few issues with the scanning portion & no crashes. But I have a few suggestions:

What I would like to see is a quicker way to access the barcode scanner. Anytime a disc is scanned, you add it, then have to click all the way back to the home page and start over. Maybe having a bottom menu with a button for the scanner would help.

Additionally, when you have multiple formats of the same film, MyMovies doesn’t combine those movies as one. This throws off the total count. Same goes for movie sets; it counts one set as one item rather than counting the number of films in the set itself.

Would also like to see MyMovies combine TV shows rather than counting seasons as individual items. For example, the current number of shows in MyMovies for me is 11, but I only have 4 shows scanned.

With some quality of life improvements MyMovies would get a higher rating. Hopefully an update is in the works.

Since I mainly buy in bulk, or other people’s collections, can we please get a feature where everything that’s scanned in from a new delivery can be added with a couple clicks? Like they’re all the same seller, same price when divided out, same purchase date, etc. I’ve got around 1000 that still need to be entered since even with bulk scan, you gotta go one by one…

Or at least add a favorites flag to bring the most often used sellers to the top of the list. But adding bulk options would easily make this a five star app. Even with the 90’s ui feel.

Super responsive app, great for release tracking, no bloat. The only real problem is that the barcode scanner function for collection tracking is broken on iOS. The camera opens, but barcodes are never detected.

If any devs are reading this, a patch for this issue would be greatly appreciated.

Device: iPhone 14 pro max, iOS 16.2

I’ve really enjoyed using MyMovies to catalog my very large movie collection. The barcode scanner is how I usually import movies, and it has worked great. I’ve only had maybe 5 or so items that the program just couldn’t identify.

More artwork options, especially the back cover that would show special features included on the disc would be a big plus. Sorting options are pretty limited as well. Manual input of information or artwork would be a good addition.

Barcode scanner doesn’t work with iPhone 14 Pro Max cameras, won’t scan the barcode because the camera won’t automatically focus and there’s no way for me to force the camera to focus within MyMovies . I prefer to use the barcode scanner over manually searching for the title I’m adding to my collection.

I love MyMovies! The only reason I won’t give it 5 stars is because it can do bigger and better things.
-Have a feature to label games as digital or physical owned (the times are changing)
-Make the navigation a little more fluid (I use it fine but my wife has MyMovies downloaded so she can keep track of our owned items and it can get a little messy for her since she’s not on it a lot)
-Make a distinction between Theater Movies and Theatrical Release films (plenty of times I’ve tried to add things to my collection and discovered that I’ve looped myself into the listing of the film for Theaters (and if you’re confused by that whole statement than I think I’ve proven my point))

With all that said MyMovies is amazing and keeps multiple pieces running and organized so well that I honestly don’t know how I functioned with my collections before hand since I now realize how massive it is.

I’d recommend MyMovies to literally anyone, collectors or people who just physically own more than two games or movies. It’s an amazing tool that everyone should learn to use and not being 5 stars isn’t a slam, it’s a hopes that something fantastic can get only better! 💚

Great app! Been using the service for quite some time now. Never has any problems! Highly recommend. Very easy to scan the barcodes and add or update your collections.

Suggestion/request: Update MyMovies to create an iPad friendly version - that would be excellent!

The website is a fantastic resource to learn as mush as you could ever want about any particular Blu-ray’s quality, or about Blu-ray and 4K encoding as a whole.

MyMovies is a great addition to set alerts about iTunes sales for any titles that I’m interested in.

Overall this is a really great resource and a great experience.

Many years I had bought another app for cataloging all my movies. The problem is that they never updated the software to work with the new iOS.
This is a lifesaver as I have over 1500 Blu-ray Blu-ray and I'm starting a collection of UHD 4K Blu-ray. In addition I can track my collection on my Mac iPads iPhones anywhere in the world
. Thank you keep up the good work!

An excellent app. The barcode scan function is a godsend and works perfectly. If you search by title, sometimes you will need to use the English title instead of the original from the country of origin.

If you use MyMovies on multiple devices, don’t forget to synchronize when you first open, and it will always update.

Thank you to the developers!

I’ve been systematically purchasing movies from Apple to rebuild my movie library from the DVDs I previously owned. I hated the prospect of paying full price for old favorites, so I sought out a price tracker that would notify me when the movies I wanted were on sale. I found that feature and more in this app! The interface is pretty bare bones, but it gets the job done. Highly recommend.

I have been using MyMovies for several years now and I still love it. The ease of use and the ability to quickly add my collection to a database for quick access is perfect and awesome. As long as physical media is around (which I hope is for a long while) this is the ideal app for cataloging your collection. Highly recommend!

I use the Website daily and MyMovies occasionally but have started looking into it more lately and am very pleased!

My only ask is to please add “Subtitle” filters under My Collection. Part of my family only speaks Portuguese or Spanish and it would be helpful to easily identify which of the movies I own have those subtitles by having that filter option.

Thank you!

I love MyMovies. It has helped me a lot to keep up with my collection and help so I won’t be buying doubles of movies I’ve already owned. But there is one thing I wish MyMovies had. That is the option to see how many movies you have with actors just like the way you can see how many directors you have in your collection. But besides that. MyMovies is the best for all collectors.

I have been using MyMovies a few years now and I love it. It keeps all my movies in a data base. I love collecting movies I have over 500 now and it makes it so simple when I am out shopping for movies. The point is so I want buy duplicates plus if u let some one borrow a movie you can add it to a list in MyMovies so you know to get it back. I highly recommend MyMovies especially if you like collecting them and to keep up with what u have.

I’ve been using MyMovies going on 3 years now would be lost without it. Helps me keep up with the blu-rays I own and the ones I plan to buy movies I seen and ones I plan to see. My only gripe is one of the last updates made it so when your in the retailer section; instead of typing a store in the search bar you have to scroll all the way down. Hey blu-ray forum you all can add in a future update; something appraises your movie collection so if you ever wanted to sell you’d have an idea of what you’ll get.

MyMovies is really neat for anyone with an extensive collection and wants to keep track of what you own and what has been been watched. I have been using there site for years to track deals and MyMovies only helps the collector even more!
