How do you keep track of your CE's?

I've been using SortIt Apps "Collectors" app. It has the "barcode scanner" feature you mentioned (well, 3 years ago haha). It also has a "bulk scan" function so you can quickly scan a ton of things and it'll automatically add them all from your smartphone.

You can edit nearly all the data of any item, including putting personal notes and use your own pictures if you'd prefer. It has online support so you can login online and see/manage your data from a PC as well or share a link with friends.

It apparently is a suite of sorts with different in-app purchases for other types of collections (i.e. movies, starwars figures, books, pez dispensers, etc.) but I got "books" for free and then it was only like $6 or so for the "video games" one. This pretty much covers all my CE guides and my games. Since you can add anything manually I suppose you could add artpieces and such to one of the above but It'd probably be easier to just get the "art" app-addon I'd think.

When I was on 3G it seemed like some of the bulk uploads I did (after purchasing a bunch of 3DS games) lagged or disappeared, but after a few minutes everything came back up. So so far no major complaints. It's already saved me quite a few $'s of remembering which games I was on the hunt for and which ones I already had

For steelbooks and such you'll have to take your own pictures and add in your own manual criteria - unfortunately it doesn't currently let you create your own "platform" so you can't sort it by "Steelbook", but it is an option under "packaging", so there's that.

Anyway, figured I'd share my experience and hopefully it helps someone out here
