The Best There Is!
Love this app. I use a few other CLZ apps and this one is my favourite. .Ultirob

This app has been a godsend. I’ve been an avid collector for the last 15 years or so, and CLZ Movies works like a charm. It helps me keep my movies organized and catalogued, and I also love how it integrates with IMDB, and pulls trailers into the movie info, just from scanning the barcode of my newest purchase.
I’ve been a subscriber for the last few years and don’t see that ever changingShow lessRyandk87
Subscription Service, Received a nice reply from CLZ.
I received a nice reply from CLZ regarding the subscription service. I think it was a miscommunication, in how the subscription service was addressed. When I say miscommunication I mean the wording lacked some clarity and definition as to what is going to happen.
That and the quickness in its execution, and not have time to understand to whole picture of how the change is going to effect the future for grandfathered users.
I started using their products from the very beginning, and although there have been a few ups and downs, I think this is a fantastic product. Finding my movies would be impossible with out it.
Unfortunately Apple’s new push for even more profits in wanting everything to go to subscription service payments, is getting out of hand. Which could be the downfall of this company.
As soon as I have time to download version 5, I will give an updated review.Show lessSadly Disillusioned

Hi Rick, I am happy that we got this cleared up. Thanks for your feedback on our communication.Excellent Cataloging App
Scan your disc’s barcode (or add by an online search or add manually) and the entry pops up with all the IMDB info automatically entered plus there’s a ton of other fields to get as detailed with the info as you’d like. There’s also a notes field if you need to add info that doesn’t have a field for it.
Indicate whether you’ve watched the disc or not with a tap, search by a large number of choices (not just by title—actor, year, discs you haven’t watched yet so you only look at stuff you haven’t yet watched & many others).
I’ve emailed the developer a few times since I started using this app a few years ago, and he’s always been responsive and very helpful. I highly recommend this app to have full usage of your collection! We no longer have to endlessly flip through our stuff trying to figure out what to watch!Show lessdavekriss

Thank you for your 5-star review Dave! We're happy you're using and enjoying the app so much!Still 5 stars
I know people are going to 1 star just because there is a subscription now, while there is a subscription and it’s offered to anyone new users and previous purchasers, people who previously purchased this app lose nothing they still have access to everything the had before forever. If you want access to the few new features that you don’t then you have to pay a reasonable price for the sub, none of these new features are in any way required for app functionality. New users will have to pay the sub for full access to what you are grandfathered into and the new features. While I generally don’t like subscriptions I don’t mind them if they aren’t a money grab and the steady income is used to maintain servers/databases and constantly keep the app updated. I don’t think I need a subscription but since CLZ has been such a great resource for me for many many years I’m definitely going to try it for a month. Keep up the great work on this app it’s value is truly immeasurable for me.Show lessHeftybags

Hi Heftybags, thank you! I am happy to see that you *did* understand our grandfathering :-) Now let's try and get everyone to that point.From Great to Gone
Subscription fee’s are all that is evil with apps like this. $25 a year? No thanks. Deleted. Shame as it’s a great app but it’s not worth that.Hbt15

Hi Hbit15, could you contact us at help.clz.com about this? I suspect there is a misunderstanding. FYI: if you have purchased the app earlier, you are very lucky! Whereas new users now need to pay $25 *per year*, you only paid $25 *once* and still get to use v5 (and all future app updates), *for life*, without ever paying for the subscription!Love the app
I don’t have as many movies as others but over a hundred is a lot to me. I keep note cards of all my movies in my purse so when I’m out and see DVD’s I don’t duplicate my purchases. This app does this for me as well as my wishes DVD’s. I’m in heaven because I always have my phone in me but not my purse, lol. Many other things can be done on this app but listing all my movies and being able to keep track of what I have means the most to me. It’s free for the first 100 movies so give it a try. I don’t feel you’ll be sorry. :)Show lesskjolli
The only movie database worth using
I have a substantial number of movies on disc. For years I’ve made spreadsheets and printed out updates so that the family could find where the movies are in the cabinets.
When I finally decided to make it a fully digital storage and search system, I tried most every app available. Most of them promised exactly what I was looking for. All of them seemed to fall incredibly short.
When I had abandoned yet another app and got to CLZ, I was just as hopeful though a bit skeptical at that point. Disappointment was the only constant between the apps.
CLZ changed that. The initial setup was clear and easy. The design and layout is attractive AND usable. The info you need and want is always right there; no hunting for what’s important.
To make the app 100% functional IMO, you need to subscribe to CLZ cloud. The bulk import functions alone make that worthwhile. But then I can also share the list in a read-only mode for the family.
And it’s one of the few apps still developing and trying to innovate.Show lessbeejpowers

Hi beejpowers! Thank you for your awesome 5-star review :-) What a great story! We're very happy you decided to keep searching and found CLZ Movies in the app. Good to hear you're als syncing with CLZ Cloud - a great and easy way to share with family and friends. Happy collecting!VHS and Laserdisc friendly
I wasn’t sure about this app but it’s great. I have THOUSANDS of movies of all formats and was surprised that this app picks up VHS and Laserdisc. It allows you to create your own listings with your own pics for your obscure titles as well. Perfect.Oldblackgoat
Best tool for movie collection
I have used this product and the associated desktop product for years. I am always impressed with the capabilities it provides and that the vendor is constantly improving the product. It is great both for tracking what you have and what you want. Recommend highly!EircM
