## What is Disc Search?

This app helps Kaleidescape System owners build and manage their movie collections anywhere, anytime.

Ever bring home a movie only to find out you already own it? Or it’s full screen instead of widescreen? Next time you go shopping, bring your Kaleidescape Disc Search App.

Simply scan a movie’s UPC barcode. If you own the movie, the Kaleidescape Disc Search App tells you whether you have the DVD, Blu-ray Disc or Kaleidescape Movie Store version. If you don’t own the movie, the Kaleidescape Disc Search App indicates if the movie is available on the Kaleidescape Movie Store, including purchase price and resolution formats. The exclusive Kaleidescape Movie Guide provides a brief synopsis of the film, along with details such as director, cast, release year, and more. The Kaleidescape Disc Search App will also keep a history of your scans for future reference.

Kaleidescape, bringing families together through a rich cinematic experience at home.

### 4/5 — This is awesome!

*2018-06-21, version 2.0.1*

But I have no clue on signing in. But I like how it works so far!

### 5/5 — Works

*2011-10-02, version 1.0.5*

It is great. Simply does what it is supposed to do

### 5/5 — Love it

*2011-03-04, version 1.0.5*

Thank you for a great app 

### 1/5 — Not worth the effort...

*2010-10-24, version 0*

Too complicated just for a movie database. I'm sure there are other apps out there that track what movies you own. Deleted

### 1/5 — Requires system?

*2010-10-10, version 0*

Doesn't work unless it can find the system already on your network.  I'm guessing that costs real money.

### 5/5 — Outstanding!

*2010-09-08, version 0*

Thank you, Kaleidescape, for the excellent app!  

Installation and setup are very fast. If you're home when you're setting up, it will instantly find your Kaleidescape system on your network and link it. 

Barcode scans are a snap, movie display is elegant, and knowing whether you have the movie already, and in which format, is wonderful. 

Another innovative product from an amazing company!
