| Posted: | | | | Ken, a lot of upset people - me included - who bought new phones (S24) and find the app won't install. Since it's gone from the Google PlayStore, I bought another copy from Amazon to get the apk and verified it's not compatible. So many people love this program. There are three good paths forward - Recompile and release for 64-bit devices, covered within our existing licenses - Recompile and release at a fee, if you can't afford to support us at the moment. - Go open source, and let the community solve the problem. - (Or, sell it to someone who will support it. But please avoid this one if you can.)
Whatever you're doing, please at least give us some feedback to tell us what you intentions are for the product. |

| Posted: | | | | It seems unlikely that there will be any new releases or any feedback, based on many years of silence (with the notable exception of the post about the server update). Sad to say, if a phone app is an absolute must for you, then you probably should look for another product. I have discussed a couple of them in this thread. | | | My freeware tools for DVD Profiler users. Gunnar |

| Posted: | | | | Thanks GSyren. I suspect you're right and I'll never get a response from Ken. Have to try, though.
As you have seen and commented in your very good thread on alternatives, there really isn't anything that is quite as good as DVDProfiler. Fortunately I still have and use the PC version as my mainstay, and only use the phone version to stop me accidentally buying the same title more than once. I'll cope with a PDF listing, but will probably resort to hacking some code together myself to view/search the collection. Not this week though...
If anyone else is working on this kind of solution, I'd be happy to collaborate. |

| Posted: | | | | A possible solution may be to access your online collection using a browser on your phone. This could let you use the browser's Find function to check if you own a specific title. Clunky perhaps, but it should be doable. You could try it and see if it seems practical. | | | My freeware tools for DVD Profiler users. Gunnar |

That's what I've been doing. Although I just sort alphabetically and scroll through the list, I guess it depends on the phone but it scrolls quickly enough for my purposes. | | | IVS Registered: January 2, 2002 |

Have set a mission to see what I can write to do better than that. Very rusty java programmer and this will be my first crack at an android app. Maybe something to share by the end of the year? This is Ken's opportunity to see if he can beat me. I don't want to steal his business, but this product is too good to let die. |
