Always find your purchased and recorded movies with your iPhone's support: Register your movie media (DVDs, BluRays and so on) and their contained movies and then label the media with labels which help find them easily. The list with sorted movies allows you easily to find the movie which you like to watch. Grab the medium which contains the movie and enjoy a comfortable movie night. You can assign details to the movies like list icon, title image, genres, etc. Some of these details can be displayed in the list of movies. In the settings of the MovieArchive you can define which ones of them you want to have displayed in the list. You can also define the sort order of the movies in the list (sort according to title, duration or the year of publication). With the In-App purchase "Download movie details" the MovieArchive loads the details from the internet (themoviedb.org) and you can easily assign them to your stored movie. Advantages of the MovieArchive: - multiple movies per medium: additionally to your purchased movies enter also your recorded movies (e.g.: a BluRay with two recordings) - privacy: your data is stored only in your iPhone, iPod or iPad (not on a server in the internet) - flexibility: in addition to the 20 predefined genres you can add your own genres Additionally to the english language the app supports also German and Spanish! By the way: with the In-App purchase "Loan to / Borrow from" you have always the overview to/from whom you have loaned out your movies.
