My wife wants to know if anyone has an app they recommend for keeping track of books and movies, on iPhone/iPad. ---

Pocketpedia is the companion app for the amazing DVDpedia, which is only available for Macs. Not sure if it works on its own, but if it does, it’s awesome! ---

Keep track like an inventory, or what? [Goodreads.com](http://Goodreads.com) lets you record books you own and have read. It has apps for most devices including iOS. ---

My wife watches a lot of streaming videos. I think she just wants a way of keeping track of what she’s seen, and her rating. She also reads a fair amount, and wants to do the same thing for books. Oh, and I just found out that it’s not necessarily an iOS app she’s looking for - a Mac app might be better. ---

There’s [icheckmovies.com](http://icheckmovies.com), which looks like it’s intended to be Goodreads for movies. I’ve never used it. You might find a web site + iOS app combo is the best bet, since you can use it from anywhere, desktop included. ---

If you’re considering applications for her Mac (or for a PC), I use Readerware to track my books, DVDs and CDs. It’s an older app and the newest version includes limited mobile support, but basically it’s meant to be used on a computer.
