Reviews from customers
When after a year or so my nice home made Access database begun to suffer from it's inconsistence and largeness I begun searching for a professional program. The ability to get movie details from an online source was one of the main topics I was looking for, but also the different viewings, sorting and filter function that I needed to migrate my collection to a new program. All of this I found in Movie Collector!
After that I had tested the program for about 6 months I bought my self a copy and begun to move the collection from Access. As the years went past my database just grew and grew and the way I worked with the collection slowly changed to fully take advantage of the features in the program.
Then one day a new update was announced and was I happy after installing it. The new version 5.0 had almost everything that I now was looking for. I would like to praise the new 5.3 version. The filter and viewing features are super, thank you for a very great and useful program. It really helps me in my daily work with my movie collection.
I then wrote a friend asking if they knew of a good program for keeping track of my DVD Movies, and they directed me to your site and I d/loaded Movie Colllector. I entered in a couple of titles and was amazed as to the ease of use, and the thoroughness of the Movie information that was included automatically. It even imported the information from the other program. I bought your program immediately.
I buy the DVD Movies and make copies so I can watch the copies and keep the originals in pristine condition. I store the DVD's in several locations. Those I loved and I want to watch over and over. Those I'd like to see again sometime. Those I have not seen, and those I would not want to watch again, but I'm too cheap to throw them out. Your program makes it so easy to keep track of the movies and their locations. What a gem of a program you and your team have created. It is also great to have help files that covers everything and you don't have to guess what is being said. But best of all I like to install a program and just start using it without jumping through hoops.
Your program is intuitive and easy to use with a shallow learning curve. Thank you for this, and for keeping your program so affordable.
It is so easy to add movies, then edit the details and add the few covers, that are missing in your database. And I'm able to contribute with my own scanned covers, thereby giving something back for others to use. I just love that I'm able to customize almost everything and make it personal.
The export function to HTML is so nice. Now I'm able to view my DVD collection from all over the world. And export to my PDA - This is the end buying the same movie twice! Right now I can't think of anything missing - but keep up the good work!
Thank you very much and keep up the good work.
At last I know where my DVDs disappear to!!
I will be putting a note on my website regarding your product and excellent customer service, everyone who needs a program like this should own yours, period.
Thanks again!
I have a collection of movies numbering in the thousands that could seriously compete with Blockbuster Video.
Your program seamlessly put my collection together in a way I never thought possible. I am still learning its functions and can only say its great!
Great Job!
If a 70 year old can master the programme without reading the instructions it has to be good.
With thanks Joy.
Kids go to the pc now to check what movie they want to watch. I'm going to set up an old pc right by the bigscreen so we can be lazy and see the movie list from the couch.
I have been using Movie Collector for a couple of years now and I have never found anything similar to keep track of over 500 DVD's by index number and track what I loan out.
Thanks again.
Best program I've ever used.
I have been using your products to gather several of my collections together and want to also get another one or two of your products.
I just bought an IPod a few months ago, I spent last night playing with the program and also found the box set option to be very useful; I have quite a few collection sets yet I list the movies individually so finding them now is much easier. My dvd collection is borderline insane, and I have been carrying a list with me to ensure no duplicates. This makes keeping and maintaining my inventory and keeping track of loans almost effortless giving me more time to watch movies.
I myself have been programming since 1985 and was so glad somebody else has gone to all the work putting Movie Collector together. I can appreciate what it involves.
Keep up the GREAT work; I can't wait to see what's next !
I do not know of any other languages, but I can truthfully say that there are no words in the English language that describe my satisfaction with not only movie collector, but the other programs that I have purchased from Collectorz.com. I am now waiting and saving up my money from my disability checks so that I might purchase a scanner to assist me in my cataloging.
I love, love, love this program.
Since publishing on my web site (my .mac account), I can now direct them there. Although in the past I've also kept the data on my Treo 650 - using ListPro.
Thanks again for a great program! And thanks for being so great about support also.
I find the software easy to use. Great product, great price - well done.
Again great job and thank you.
Movie Collector is a great application and I recommend it to every Mac User.
The program was so extremely user friendly I had all 1,650 movies cataloged in less than 2 days. One of my favorite features is the loan management. I can't tell you how many times I have loaned movies out and never gotten them back because I had no idea who I loaned it to.
I don't have the need for any of the other collectorz.com products but I assure you, if I ever do, I know exactly where to look. I LOVE LOVE LOVE my program. I recommend it to everyone I know.
Your product and service is the best I have seen. Thanks.
Collectorz is the best!
I have been entering my collection and every time I think "I whish the software would have a data space for this type of information", I look a little deeper, and there is a spot to enter what I want. It seems that your software was designed by a real movie collector. I love it.
Thank you so much for creating the perfect software.
My home was burglarized and I would have had trouble providing a list of all the movies I had to the police and insurance company. However, thanks to your program I had a comprehensive list and they will reimburse me for all the movies (Almost $17,000 worth!). Bless you!
I group my movies by actor, or Academy Award winners, and this page allows me to create those kind of categories. The one thing I would like to see is an Academy Award information tab. What nominations and awards did the movie recieve? I am inputting that data on the personal tab and that works for me. Other than that, I can't say enough good things about the software.
I can't say enough good things about the Flic scanner as well. My collection of movies and music is HUGE, and I did not want to have to add them manually. The Flic scanner solved that.
The problem I was having was on movie night with friends. They would look through all my DVD's for 30-40 minutes just to find the one they wanted to see. With the software, they can now enter criteria to find something to watch and it takes less than FIVE minutes for them to decide. Last night, my friends wanted a comedy with Tom Hanks that was fairly new, less than five years old. In a matter of about one minute, they had a movie picked out.
Thanks again for helping me to get organized and making movie night more enjoyable at my home.
You appear to have thought of everything and the feature list is extremely comprehensive without being overloaded.
It is the best piece of software I've purchased ever.
I have methodically researched many products to find a software package to meet my needs and I must say that your product beats the competition hands down, without a doubt your software offers the user more options than any similar software that anyone could find searching the internet!
Good Job! My hat is off to you and please please, keep up the good work!
I was creating my own catalog of DVD movies, by typing the info into a word processor, so I would know what was in my collection. It was constant trouble updating, and having a movie's description moving down the page and into another description.
Yesterday I received my scanner from you and spent the rest of the night scanning into your program! IT IS A DREAM COME TRUE! Thank you for your creativity and knowing what people really want, and especially what I needed. Whoever devised the process and the program, thank you!
I own both the movie database and videogame database software applications and I just have to say, this stuff is WELL worth the price! I recommend these to all my friends and colleagues. the Flic Scanner is simply...the Best!
Thank you and I will continue to patronize your site.
Thank you for making this outstanding product available...
Congratulations!
I am an application developer and I was going to build an app. You guys made the effort totally unnecessary. Thanks again.
Thanks for a very fine help, and I wish you the very best luck in your venture.
