Like it? Log it! With the invaluable PiCosm Like Logs
Ever wished you could maintain a future proof structured list of your favourite content? A searchable database that only you can edit and view, without worrying about what others think of your taste? Now you can. The unique PiCosm Like Logs allow you to input detailed records of music tracks, movies and/or books you want or have, from the date of first discovery to the key people involved, such as author, actors or song writer.
Rate each entry from 1 to 5 by tapping the innovative Pi Pie control. Useful for filtering the content you really like from the so so.
Along with other options, powerful filters allow you to reveal which items you have yet to acquire or consume, from that tune you heard on the radio or a book or movie a friend recommended years ago.

Track your tunes with the Music Like Log
You could rely on your Spotify, Amazon or Apple Music playlist(s) as a way to manage the tracks you like. But what if a track is removed from their streaming library for legal reasons or you grow bored of the track and remove it? Later you may regret this and when trying to add the track back to your playlist, you cannot remember the name? This is no longer an issue with the PiCosm Music Like Log.

Bring out the worm in you with the Book Like Log
Whether a collection of dusty paperbacks on the shelf in the spare room (that you will peek into one day) or a thriller you're midway through on your Kindle, keep in control of your literary history and plans with the PiCosm Book Like Log. The Review and Notes fields in each record allow you to express your opinions and thoughts. Filters can be used to show books you have yet to read, narrowing them down by genre if necessary.
