About SimpleMovieList Android App

With SimpleMovieList you can search for movies in an online database and store them offline inside the app.

It its possible to manage arbitrary movie lists by entering own categories (e.g. "Seen", "Lent" and so on…)

The movies can be shifted between categories and supplied with additional notes, therefore the whole movie collection can be classified and you always have the overview.
