MediaShelf

New in Version 3.1 NEW: WIDGETS Discover comes to your Home Screen — a rotating pick from this week's features, your library and wishlist counts, and one-tap search and scan buttons. Plus a Lock Screen scanner button, so checking a barcode while you shop is one tap from your pocket. BETTER MUSIC SCANNING Music barcodes now match against a dedicated music catalog — CDs, vinyl, and cassettes identify more accurately, with the artist, format, and official cover art filled in."), CLEARER DUPLICATE WARNINGS One consistent, quieter banner everywhere you add or browse — tap it to see exactly which copy you already have, without interrupting your save. ---- MediaShelf 3.0 is our biggest update yet — headlined by something we've wanted to build from the start: a scanner for everything that doesn't have a barcode. MEET THE AI SCANNER Plenty of what's on a real shelf has no barcode: older books, vinyl in printed sleeves, imports, box sets, magazines. Now you can just photograph the cover. AI image recognition, powered by Google Gemini, identifies the exact edition in your hand — from the artwork and design of the cover itself Details are verified against online catalogues: credits, runtimes, labels, publishers, and more It sees your actual copy, capturing what a barcode never carries: the edition, pressing, issue, volume, or series When official cover art is found, choose between it and your own photo, right on the result card If a barcode won't read, the scanner now offers the AI Scanner as a fallback Honest by design: you're only ever charged a scan when the AI answers, never for technical failures Three free scans are included for everyone. MediaShelf Pro includes 50, with 100-scan top-up packs available in Settings NEW: MEDIASHELF PRO — FAMILY Share Pro with your whole Family Sharing group: no ads, unlimited items, and iCloud Sync for everyone Includes 150 AI scans to use together ORGANIZE YOUR WAY Group your Library and Wishlist by collection, location, rating, or type — with collapsible sections Tap multiple collection pills to browse them together; tap again to deselect Empty collections tidy themselves away until they're needed A new Other collection gives a home to everything unusual — and items now follow you when you change their type The Wishlist gets its own filter settings, independent of the Library COVERS IN THEIR TRUE SHAPE — AND A CLEANER LOOK A streamlined toolbar: add, search, and settings, right where you need them A redesigned filter panel — Sort, Order, Filter, and Group in one place, with a clear indicator when a filter is active Cover art in its true shape: album sleeves draw square, movie cases tall — no more uniform cropping, with every cover balanced to carry equal visual weight A smarter cover camera: automatic cropping and photo enhancement, every time Refreshed icons, a better photo review screen, and a small scanning robot to keep you company RICHER ITEM DETAILS Catalog-verified credits: directors, casts, and runtimes for films; labels for music; publishers and languages for books Cover choices that are never lost: switch any item between your own photo and the online art, any time, from the edit screen FIXES & POLISH Your cover photos now always win over downloaded art Smarter duplicate warnings for short titles Discover artwork loads more reliably More accurate cached-image counts, better sync merging, and dozens of smaller improvements Early Pro supporters: thank you — your AI scans are already credited to your account.
