CLZ Movies - Movie Database 17+

The app is Excellent

Well, I missed the chance to buy this app, because I was angry about two other apps not acknowledging that I owned them. That has been taken care of. I was also annoyed about having to create an account.
I am annoyed by the shift to the subscription model. This definelty benefits the devs and Apple. I believe this is more Apple than the devs. However, I see the benefit for devs and consumers. I have purchased many apps and I have watched many great apps disappear. Devs are not running a non-profit. They need revenue. This is kind of their fault with the gimmicky .99 cent of "gone free for a day (or week) to gain traction in the app-store. I do not like rewarding Apple for being a controlling parasite. When possible I subscribe directly.
That said, the cost of this subscription is very, very reasonable. I have been in contact with the devs and I could of been nicer. The dev was always courteous to me. They graciously resolved one issue and the other corrected itself (oddly after I signed out of the new CLZ account that I created). When I get all my media back from storage and add it to the relevant apps, I will most likely go pro or premium. Why go through the trouble of adding all my media if the app isn't around?..

Still 5 stars

I know people are going to 1 star just because there is a subscription now, while there is a subscription and it’s offered to anyone new users and previous purchasers, people who previously purchased this app lose nothing they still have access to everything the had before forever. If you want access to the few new features that you don’t then you have to pay a reasonable price for the sub, none of these new features are in any way required for app functionality. New users will have to pay the sub for full access to what you are grandfathered into and the new features. While I generally don’t like subscriptions I don’t mind them if they aren’t a money grab and the steady income is used to maintain servers/databases and constantly keep the app updated. I don’t think I need a subscription but since CLZ has been such a great resource for me for many many years I’m definitely going to try it for a month. Keep up the great work on this app it’s value is truly immeasurable for me.

Developer Response ,

Hi Heftybags, thank you! I am happy to see that you *did* understand our grandfathering :-) Now let's try and get everyone to that point.

Love It!

I am really enjoying this app. It is very easy to use. The ability to scan barcodes works great with my iPad camera. Adding by title works quite well also. A great feature is The Box collection which adds all of the individual tiles in a set automatically and the record indicates in which set the title is found. The folder search is incredibly detailed and easy to use.

The ability to add Personal information such as location, price, and tags was the deciding factor for me. A previous product I tried didn’t have that ability and even though a title was in the database, I still had to search for it! Syncing to the cloud is fast and allows me to use the app on my phone also. The personal online webpage was a pleasant surprise.

The support staff reached out by email within a day of me signing up to welcome me to the service and then responded quickly and efficiently to several questions. The answers to my questions were direct and specific not canned automatic replies. Very polite and respectful to me, the customer.

I have had this app less than a week and have already added 592 titles! The embedded movie clips and plot summaries are a fun way to revisit titles not watched in a while and in some cases I even forgot I had. Great app and service which exceeded my expectations!
