Movie, Book & Media Scanner

About Movie, Book & Media Scanner Android App

MBMS is a simple and easy to use mobile based movie and media collection database to manage your inventory of all your media like movies on DVD, Bluray, Bluray 3D or books and games. An app which notifies you when loaned items are overdue and provide customizable reminder notifications per eMail or SMS.

MBMS is for you when you:
- have no idea how many and which movies/tv shows/books/games you own
- have no clue where your loaned items are
- have not yet found an app which supports TV shows beside movies
- have so many different media types that you are glad that you can create your own categories
- search a tool which imports the additional data automatically only by scanning the barcode

MBMS is complete free without any ads or limitations!

Disclaimer:
The automatically found titles and cover images are not property of mine. I am providing a common interface to automatically find and download that information, but I will not be able to add or update the content. The automatically found titles or cover images may therefore be wrong. The found item coverage for my 450 movies and several books is > 95%. Game coverage is about 50%. Cover images are sometimes at low-resultion and will not scale well on tablets.
