Movies organizing and back up feature
Users can easily organize their TV shows on DVD/Blu-ray locally by genre, favorite directors, and artists. At the same time, data is being synchronized with the remote application server for back up purposes. Thus, when you switch to another iPhone device the full collection of your personal library is to be backed up and restored from the server.
Barcode scanner and remote database polling
A highly intelligent approach to scanning DVD barcodes was implemented: users can get details of each movie with just a button click. The information is provided through polling appropriate data from remote servers.
Facebook and Twitter API integration
With the integrated social networks APIs users share wishlists and information about their favorite films via Facebook and Twitter. Posts can be added automatically every time users want to share a good DVD or to be notified about a movie or TV show they plan to watch. In this way, users can always keep track of movies and TV shows on DVD/Blu-ray.
Movie ratings
Each movie or TV show can be rated according to personal impressions. Based on the rating mechanism, records collection can be sorted by the custom criteria. It enables users to identify, find and track favorite DVDs in their collection.
Wishlist
Movies you wish to watch can be placed on the appropriate shelf to be notified when they are released. So, users don’t need to track the release data anymore, as the application will let them know about the corresponding event when it happens.
