Movie Reviews in Hand: Leonard Maltin Movie Guide 1.0 Review
Posted by Jordan Rosenwald in "SOFTWARE" @ 11:00 AM
Conclusions
I am so very torn by this program. It really is well executed with only a few minor hang-ups that I think could be easily remedied with an update. I’d like to see the ability to assign an owned movie to multiple categories and a means to input from your desktop or import data would also be fantastic. I’d also like to see a little more information when I select an upcoming movie or DVD release.
But what leaves me with reservations is the fundamental nature of the program. It’s a movie guide. It does not pretend to be a comprehensive list of movies. But there are a couple ways to get a comprehensive list of movies on your PDA, so I fear that despite this program's incredible capabilities, many will overlook this solution in favor of some of the others that are available.
Overall, as a complete package (movie reviews, inventory application, and a way to keep your To Buy and To Rent lists) this program is a worthwhile investment.
