Failed to configure
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

TOO BAD
Indispensable for collectors.
I’ve got nearly 20 years’ data stored across the desktop apps that this app syncs with, and everything continues to work fantastically.
Sync issues
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.

Unusable
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.
ISBN scanner total failure
cannot recognize any scanned ISBNs - worthless
Unstable and buggy
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,

Sync problem
iPhone app now longer syncing with Mac App.
Stable, but extremely bare bones.
Feels like a free app, and was refused a refund. There are better Apps out there that do a much better job for free.
Cumbersome to add movies, slow scanner, recognized only 1 of first 5 I tried to add
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.

Fantastic Pocketpedia
I’ve just found this app having had Bookpedia and DVDpedia on my Mac for years. Synchronized easily and quickly. I’m very happy to have all of this info on my iPad. Thanks Bruji! 🤗
Good, with caveats
I like Bruji’s products, especially on the desktop. They are to be lauded for continuing to support this older iOS app (just as they do their evolving suite for desktop). What I miss in Pocketpedia is plain ease of use. Ergonomically, it would be a massive improvement if we could flick through, say, movies without having to resort to only controlling the app via the tiny thumbnails. In short, let us move from entry to entry by using the entry details (on the right side of the screen) or, more ideally, the larger image itself. Too much fussy tappity-tap is required right now for comfortable portable use. Support for dark screen use is also a must.

Solid companion app for a nice set of OSX apps
Pocketpedia itself is solid - does what it needs to do, what you’d expect. It’s strength lies in the fact that it is a single companion apps for multiple inventory applications. I use Bookpedia, Gamepedia, CDpedia and DVDpedia. Pocketpedia syncs with all of them and provides access to all within a single application. Just what I was looking for. I walked away from the Collectorz (CLZ) series of applications when they went to a subscription model. Bruji provided me with a solid replacement without a subscription.

Decent Companion App But Needs IPhone X Update
It has been a year since the app has been updated and still does not support the new screen layouts for the iPhone X line. It’s frustrating to look at my collection on my phone. That on top of still having to manually sync with my computer and no iCloud or Dropbox support has me seriously considering a new app after using the desktop app for over 10 years now.

Search is broken
Comes back instantly with nothing found, suggesting that it’s not even trying. The MacOs version searches through about 8 different sources and manages to find all my media no problem (but it’s far less convenient holding up to that camera than scanning with my phone).
Avoid.
Avoid.
it’ok but...
... version 3 doesn’t syncronize with new version 5.6.1, please advise
Okay but needs an update
This app is a great companion to the desktop app however there are several things that it lacks.
- adding games will only search the one database instead of giving you options from other websites.
- syncing is a nice feature, but having to do it manually every time seems old school
- adding some different view options would be a great help as well.

Excellent
Does a fine job of cataloging CDs and LPs (and books and DVDs)
Easy to use, easy to input, syncs across phone, iPad and iMac very easily.
I always have my song listing with me, useful when hunting down rare singles.
Most importantly, customer service is really good should you have any queries.

Almost perfect
I LOVE how I can easily edit everything to suit me. The borrowed and loaned stuff is great too. BUT it crashes 9/10 times after adding something to it. It does however save what you put in before it crashed, so minor annoyance at worst. If this could be fixed it would be a five star app for sure.
Not bad for a portable db library, but...
The major problem is it can't find half the books I try to scan. It gets the ISBN correct but can't find any listings in online databases. Why I don't know, all are new books published in the last year, well known titles.
That's disappointing and a problem as a library grows, you can only add so many books manually before you give it up. If the developer can improve that feature it'll get 4 stars.

Not recommended
It's an ok app just not worth the money I mean most of the books I have can't be found on doghouse search which is a shame since I have to add them manually. Defeats the point of getting this app. Other than that it's an average library app. Not worth $3.99.
