Greetings all,

I am a prospective buyer of DVD Profiler, but wanted to know if I could use this to share my collection with my daughter in another city. I see that I can buy the IOS app and sync over wi-fi at my house, but since she is in another city, she couldn't. I suppose she can access the online "my collection', but wondered how effective that would be in a phone browser?

Is there a mobile view of the online collection? Or is there a way to export from windows app and import to her IOS app?

Just trying to find the right product for my situation. Thanks for any help.

Yes, the iOS version can sync over the Internet, and multiple copies can sync with the same desktop database. There are two ways to do it:

1) Upload your collection via the Online->DVD Profiler Online feature, then download it via the iOS device.  You can make changes in either location, upload, then download again. Note: You will need a paid version of DVD Profiler for Windows to upload a collection larger than 50 entries from your Windows PC.

2) Sync the iOS version with your PC DVD Profiler database as you would over wifi. This requires opening up a port on your router.  See www.portforward.com for instructions specific to your router. Note: they offer a paid program to do it automatically, but they also offer free instructions to do it manually.
