Pocket AMC Reader

This application will allow you to read catalogs created by Ant Movie Catalog on your Android phone. It will read XML catalog and import it into its own database which is done for performance reasons. On each start the application will check size of the XML file and when it changes, database is updated. Depending on size of your catalog and speed of your phone, it might take several minutes to import all movies and to start up.

Converting AMC to XML
If you keep your database in AMC format, you will have to export it to XML to be able to use this application. You can easily do that in 5 steps:

1. Open your AMC database in Ant Movie Catalog
2. Select File -> Save as...
3. Select type XML and click Save
4. When asked about pictures answer OK
5. Copy XML and all pictures to your Android device and start Pocket AMC Reader

If import crashes leaving you with only some movies imported, select option Remove bad characters.

Great app indeed. If it is available on iPad, it will be better. I request the developers to port it to iPad.

Definitely a must have to pair your AMC movie catalog with your Android device

Nice app. I have my movie list on smartphone too. Very useful to find my discs. May you can add edit fields function for changes on the list...

I've used Ant Movie Catalogue on my PC for years and have long wanted the convenience of being able to view the information on my mobile devices. This latest version really delivers. Many thanks to the developers.

Being using for a long time. A desktop version with series support would be great

Super app. And cool there has been a new release after a few years of silence ☺! Only wished I could slide through my movieposters once in poster-mode to easily navigate visually through my library!! Now I need to go back to text overview to do this and I only see a small portion of the image...

unfortunately app is not developed anymore, otherwise it's nice...

I can't find the option to just view the posters, indeed of poster then movie title. Plus there is so much of my screen wasted with black space on my tablet. Finally the text that you force me to use is too small for everyone else who is on the couch to read.

Great App, works like a charm, have been looking for something like this for a long time and now I don't even have to re-enter everything, just had to copy Ant Movie Database from PC to phone. Thank you very much.

Works great on Bionic. Allows me to check my list while shopping, to see what I have. Thanks!!!

What a wonderful extension to my desktop catalogue. Great interface, easy to use. A must have.

Excellent viewer for ANT database. I use dropbox to store XML file and ensure it is always up-to-date. Needs some kind of two way sync and ability to display custom fields.

A. G. u. Jun 4, 2012

Great application, simple and easy to load from amc. It would be better if it support custom field from amc.

Just the ticket for use with my large ant movie catalog.... works great!

A. G. u. Apr 23, 2012

App works great very useful for people with large movie collections. Great if you buying a dvd in shop and don't want to buy a duplicate just get out mobile and check catalog. Also very handy if at family get togethers and discussing movies as it holds lots of detail. Greatly designed keep up good work.

A. G. u. Apr 18, 2012

I am SOOO happy to see that this has not been abandoned. Thank you so much for all of your hard work. It is deeply appreciated!

A. G. u. Jun 29, 2011

Played around with it a bit more and saw that "Label" = "Media Label" and it's right there in the "Basic Info" and allows a filter on the field... so now, the only feature request I would make is to have the ability to sort by other fields (not just name and film number)... wait... yes, I double-checked this time, that feature is not available...

A. G. u. Aug 21, 2011

Was about to start a new project programming a catalog app which can import AMC-files, and there it is already!!Great! Feature req:poster overview plz

A. G. u. May 31, 2011

Works pretty well now thanks. Would be nice to have the imdb redirection to the app instead of website and the missing amc fields when using filters

A. G. u. May 5, 2011

Probably the sweetest app ever if you use ant movie catalog.

A. G. u. May 12, 2012

installed this as I can carry my DVD catalog with me wherever i go. also very useful when buying new movies as you can take it out in shop and check what you have before buying. this way you don't end up buying same movie twice. one of the best apps that are on the market . recommend to all movie collector's and film buffs alike. keep up the good work.

This app good, but this APP only save to SD card, cant save to EKSTERNAL memory. Than spend much Space in SD CARD. Pliss maka the DATA save in EKSTERNAL memory. Not SD CARD

A. G. u. Sep 11, 2012

I Use AMC I was looking to a app to manage my videos. This is very good. Is fast simple and loads all the the data from AMC. To be perfect?...be possible to sync with amc without rescan and being possible to edit. Show actors photos when whe search by actor.
