In fact, the best think would be to include the IMDB Link (URL) in the movie data.
There's already a direct link to the IMDb, simply click the IMDb icon:

And ideally the Wikipeda entry URL if it exists.
Sorry, I don't plan to do that.

And what would be VERY useful was to add in any awards that the movie has recieved.
I plan to add awards, but in a distant future. Don't hold your breath, I have much higher priorities. In fact, it's quite possible that I'll change my mind... Personally I couldn't care less about awards, and I don't seem to be alone as the ratings of the Academy Awards are historically low.

And even add in the Budget, and Earnings.

To begin with, the IMDb data is the property of the IMDb. It costs a fortune to licence a fraction of it, it's not even possible to licence the whole of it. For Coollector I have to maintain my own database.
Also remember that Coollector isn't a website, it's an app. When you download the app, you download the whole database with it. This makes the app very reactive when you browse the database, make complex searches, or scan your files, and you can use it even when you're offline. To avoid the database to become too big, we include only what we consider the most essential information. The purpose of this app is very different from the IMDb. We don't try to replace the IMDb, the IMDb is fine as a reference movie database. We're more focused on personalization: keeping track of what you've watched, what DVDs you own, what files you have, getting recommendations based on your tastes, deciding what to watch on the streaming services you have (more services will be supported soon).
Our interface will soon get an upgrade. Hopefully it'll make it clearer how Coollector stands apart and how useful it is.
