I know, I know, it’s been way too long since we last updated our Android apps. But this is all going to change soon. Please read on for happy Android news …

You see, during most of 2012, while the Android and iOS editions of our mobile apps were exactly the same… our iOS editions still sold twice as many copies …
Yes, that’s weird, with more Android devices being sold. Maybe the average Collectorz user is more likely to use iOS, maybe the average iOS user buys more apps, I don’t know.

Fact is, when we started developing the most frequently requested features for our apps,
( adding, editing, barcode scanning and two-way syncing through Connect )
the obvious choice was to do all this for the iPhone/iPad edition first …

Yes, I admit, that sucks if you’re on Android. But it got even worse:
The development of these 2.0 apps for iOS took way longer than expected
And all that time, progress on the Android editions was left at a standstill.

HOWEVER: here’s the good news: More »

GeekExchange.com reviewed Comic Connect, our online cataloging tool.

“The long and short of it, my fellow geeks, this is a MUST HAVE for big time collectors! It’s beautifully done and simple to use.”

A small, but recommended, maintenance update of Movie Collector 9 for Windows has just been released.

Fixed:

• Update Automatically: sometimes actor image links would disappear
• Main Screen: sorting on IMDB rating was very slow
• Quick Search: cast and crew names weren’t always searched correctly depending on the “Show Names as Last Name, First Name” option
• Edit Lists: ID column was never showing values
• Templates: movie poster or backdrop weren’t showing when movie had no links.

To update, just use Help > Check for Updates in your current version of Movie Collector.
