PocketPedia - Ability to store locations

Post by monty0018 »

I would love PocketPedia, Only if it had a way to store the location of the movies in My Collection. Suggestions for Field names would be;
Binder
Sleeve
--- or ----
Location
Location Detail

Otherwise, solid product. It just seems like this was an oversight!

Thanks,
Monty

Pocketpedia has the location field, since it needs to be able to display that information when syncing with our Desktop Pedias. once we add the ability to edit information for an entry, you will be able to fill out that field. If you are a Mac user take a look at the DVDpedia, CDpedia or Gamepedia. Thank you for the feedback.

PocketPedia - Ability to store 'spotted' locations and price

Post by thajeztah »

The title of this feature-request 'triggered' another idea (just 'brainstorming' here :));

Add 'spotted at' (GPS) location

Would it be possible to add the current 'location' (GPS location) to an item in PocketPedia, for example;
I am looking for a certain DVD on my wish-list and while shopping, I see that DVD in a shop, but I want to
continue shopping, because other shops might sell it at a lower price.

I open PocketPedia, look up the DVD in my wish-list, tap the 'spotted' button.
The iPod/iPhone automatically looks up the current address. I can enter the name of the shop and the price
of the DVD. (If I don't have GPS, I can look-up the address in my address book)

If I later on find the same DVD in another shop, I can compare the price with the other shops and if I decide to buy the DVD at
that shop, I can click 'navigate' to have my iPod/iPhone help me find my way back to that shop!

After buying the DVD, simply click the 'bought here' button to move the DVD from the wish-list to my collection and, because
I already entered the 'price' and name of the shop, those fields will also automatically be filled :))


Again, just brainstorming here, but this seems like the kind of integration only the iPod/iPhone can offer!

Thanks for the great product, I'm looking forward to future updates. If a paid-for edition would be better for development,
count me in :)

The location aware feature idea sounds great. We will definitely keep it mind for future updates, thank you for sharing. The hardest things about the iPhone is that it can so so many things it's hard to pack them all into a small touch based interface.
