Starting to show its age. ### 1/5 — Failed to configure *2025-02-10, version 3.6.2* Could not configure it. Instructions did not agree with options on my IPad. Wasted over an hour attempting to configure I could not find support and finally decided to trash the App. On the other hand Bookpedia does work on my IMac. TOO BAD ### 5/5 — Indispensable for collectors. *2024-08-10, version 3.6.2* I’ve got nearly 20 years’ data stored across the desktop apps that this app syncs with, and everything continues to work fantastically. ### 4/5 — Sync issues *2023-08-25, version 3.6.2* I’ve tried about a half-dozen apps for cataloging my movies and music, and this is by far the most comprehensive and flexible. Unfortunately, I’m now having sync problems. Pocketpedia syncs just fine with the desktop CDPedia app, but it no longer syncs with the DVDPedia app. It’s really a shame, because otherwise it’s just about perfect. ### 1/5 — Unusable *2022-06-29, version 3.6.2* I should have read the reviews before purchasing. App is unusable. Trying to scan codes and was unable to find a single title, adding manually marginally works but totally defeats the purpose. ### 1/5 — ISBN scanner total failure *2021-03-09, version 3.6.2* cannot recognize any scanned ISBNs - worthless ### 2/5 — Unstable and buggy *2020-10-30, version 3.6.2* Was really good once upon a time but now I’m constantly uninstalling and reinstalling it because it will not sync or gets hung up “merging” with CDpedia, its desktop counterpart. Looking for a better solution for a rather large music collection. Can no longer recommend this. In fact, avoid it. Too frustrating for too long, ### 4/5 — Sync problem *2020-08-20, version 3.6.2* iPhone app now longer syncing with Mac App. ### 2/5 — Stable, but extremely bare bones. *2020-06-02, version 3.6.2* Feels like a free app, and was refused a refund. There are better Apps out there that do a much better job for free. ### 1/5 — Cumbersome to add movies, slow scanner, recognized only 1 of first 5 I tried to add *2020-03-15, version 3.6.2* Based on the good reviews I bought this. Of the first 5 movies I tried to add by scanning their barcodes, the only one it found was Suckerpunch on BluRay – but nothing Glee, Fantastic Beasts Crimes of Grindelwald, or other not-exactly-rare discs. Nor did searching the text “Crimes of Grindelwald” bring any search results! Looks like I’d have to type in everything by hand. If I wanted to do that I’d still be using Delicious Library 2 on my Mac. Camera scanner is very slow, too. ## Frequently asked questions about Pocketpedia ### What does Pocketpedia do?
