Movie and TV Shows Database App for iPhone?

[DaViD_BRaNDoN]

I have a collection of 1,000+ movies and TV Shows, and is currently being tracked using a plain old Microsoft Word document. Have tried 2 movie/TV show apps for iPhone below but it didn't fit my taste.

- Movie Collection ($1.99): Nice UI, stores database offline but lack of features. Tracks only movies (search results from themoviedb.org). Shocked to find out database size grew to 1.9GB after entering 500 movie names.
- IMDB Movies and TV (free): Horrible UI, stores database online, ample features. Tracks both movies and TV shows. Too bad the movie/TV Show list cannot be access if not connected to the Internet.

Any other recommendation?

iCollect movies pro. Not sure the cost. With my 1000 DVDs it was the easiest to enter, scan and go. It stores them offsite as well and the website can be shared, so friends know what to ask to borrow. It got real slow to open once I crossed 500 movies though. And I named my library as an inappropriate joke, and couldn't change it later it to be politically/mother acceptable. I packed the physical discs away and am not looking forward to entering them in to a new system. First world problems! I tried a few though, and iCollect movies by hooked in motion has been the easiest app to use. Have fun!

Haha! Thanks for the recommendation. Will look-see on the features shortly.

Tried TodoMovies ($1.99) a couple of days ago. Nice UI (better than Movie Collection), stores database offline but a bit slow on displaying search results. Major turn-off is the size of the database - just entered 50+ entries and it already consumed 120MB+. Imagine the database size as I have over 1,000+ entries! Deleted the app shortly after and back to tracking on Word document

I gave up on trying to maintain icollect, or looking for something better. With over 500 movies there just doesn't seem to be an app that can smoothly handle it. Where is the iTunes movie Match?

Have you considered trakt.tv? Even tho I use Plex to manage my library, it syncs with Trakt.tv. Here's my movie library on trakt to give you an idea of what to expect: http://trakt.tv/user/dryland/library/movies/all

There are a few trakt apps as well. I use utrakt on my ipad.

Will check out utrackt shortly. Quick question, will it work offline (as I presume an online account is required to access trakt.tv)?

I use delicious library. It will not physically store the files but it keeps a nice list. I can also mark things I have loaned out. It's not in the App Store yet, but will be soon.

Yeah that was recommended to me but unavailable back when I started my journey to organize.

Is there an iOS version of Delicious Library?

There was, then it was pulled. They posted a tweet saying they're going to bring it back. It was free if you were a delicious library for mac owner. I don't know if that's true now.

Hope to see it released soon!

Yes true. App won't work unless you're online.

Re-downloaded TodoMovies last week after their recent update to V2.1. Boy, am I glad I did! The search results performance has improved dramatically and the best part is, the database size is now very small. Think they have made a major database restructuring from V1.2 to V2.0. I've entered 820 titles and the size is only a meagre 47MB! Supports motion posters too. Highly recommended!

By the way, those looking for an excellent app for TV Shows, try iTV Shows.

I would like share that currently I am using the app called "My Media Collection" - a media library which keeps track of the books and movies you own. With My Media Collection, you are never more than a tap away from your entire media library. Check out the app here >> https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/my-media-collection/id808489033?mt=8&at=10l3Vy

Well! I gave attempting to keep up icollect, or searching for something better. With in excess of 500 films there simply doesn't appear to be an application that can easily handle it. Where is the itunes motion picture Match?
