MovieBuddy: Movie Tracker App Comments & Reviews

MovieBuddy: Movie Tracker Positive Reviews

Highly recommend!!I’ve had this app for over a year and have finally decided to review it. This is definitely my favorite and most used app out of everything I have on my phone. I am a film major and a huge film enthusiast and I have completely fallen in love with the app. Its definitely the best way for me to keep track of all the movies I have seen and all the movies I want to see, but better than that is the fact that you can add just about any movie and it gives you all this great information on each film, you can organize and find movies according to actor, director, tags applies, genre, etc., and you can even rate the film and (what I love to do) is write all my comments and opinions on the movie in the notes section after I’ve seen it. One of my favorite things I’m also able to do is record what day I watched what movies. Its a really cool way for me to see when I saw each film and/or when I added each film to the app. If I had one suggestion I would absolutely love to be able to record when I rewatch a movie without losing the date when I first saw it. Essentially, I just want the app to record multiple “watched” dates. This may be just a “me” thing because I rewatch movies so often and really would like my rewatched movies to show up more than once, but I don’t want this to sound like a downside to the app or anything. It’s just personal preference and a way in which the app could improve for me at least. All in all, I am a massive fan of this as a way to better organize movies, more easily add them to your “need to watch” list, and also because each film usually provides me with a lot of really valuable information and there is a section for me to write my thoughts down after the movie! I very highly recommend it!.Version: 8.14.7

Best Film Collection App I’ve Used!This is a great app to keep track of your collection. Best one I’ve used! Easy to add a title (barcode scanner, search online, or manual input). It can also link a title to its IMDB page. It has tons of customizable fields (pretty much everything is customizable), a lot of filters, tags and categories options, a notes section for each release (which is great for including physical extras that come with a release or to explain what is on each disc), multiple backup options (I use iCloud), easy to navigate, and looks clean. I do hope one day the ability gets added to upload more than one photo of a release instead of only one. Would be nice for box sets and collector’s editions, and also for inside artwork, back side artwork, spine artwork. Also, the pinch-to-zoom ability for artwork would be nice too. The free version lets you add up to 50 titles, if I recall correctly. The paid version is only $5.99 (that’s at least what I paid a few months back), which is really affordable and you can add as many titles as you want. I highly recommend!.Version: 9.8.0

Brilliant! Get this app!If you are a person who likes to keep a record of the movies and TV programs you watch, or would like to watch, this app is perfection. I have spent years looking for some thing this simple - every other app is crudded up with social media and or advertising, and is so impossible to sort through that I had resigned myself to using Apple notes or Google tasks to keep track. With this app, you can very easily search on the Internet to download information for any movie or TV show you are hoping to see. You can keep the interface as simple as you like. On my phone I just have movie posters for everything in my lists. Click on the movie poster and you can access any information you need, (metadata, reviews, links to streaming services) and hide anything you don’t want to see. The UI is a little challenging, but the developers are incredibly helpful and very responsive. One quick email sorted me out. Love this app!.Version: 9.5.5

ImpressedThis app is exactly the type of app I was looking for to catalog my movie collection. Scanning movies in is a breeze. It took me awhile to figure out that I could do several titles at a time, but now that I can, it’s a must faster process. The only reason I have not given 5 stars is that there are a few areas where the app is not very intuitive. 1) I can’t figure out how to export in a format the way I want it to look (cover art, title, & other specific criteria listed by itself). 2) I recently bought a new iPad & it proved to be frustrating trying to get my list to populate on that device. The exporting/importing required multiple attempts. 3) I want the same info to populate for all of my titles, but when I’m scanning them in, I also have to add fields. I wish there was a way for these to appear automatically. Overall these are fairly small concerns. I would still recommend this app to someone with a large collection of movies/shows..Version: 9.1.2

Love this app!I checked out 7 or 8 apps that do roughly the same thing, and MovieBuddy is the clear winner out of all of them. All of the others were either slow or their scanner didn’t work or they required monthly payments. MovieBuddy has an initial 50-item limit, but the upgrade is only a one-time $5 payment and then you have unlimited items forever, no additional payments! The scanner works great occasionally it will think it’s scanning the wrong version of a film, like a remake of the same title, but it’s super easy to replace with the right title and you can add titles in multiple ways. I only had to manually input 1 out of my 326 movies, and it’s a pretty obscure film, a recording of a stage performance called The Reduced Shakespeare Company. And even then I still found the cover art and summary online through the app. It was a little confusing figuring out how to share my movie library with my family so we all have the same list, but I emailed the app developer and they got back to me within a day, addressed me personally and addressed my specific problems politely and thoroughly, and even offered to do more than I expected. (SUGGESTION: It would be great to be able to find other users and share lists and/or view each other’s libraries so that friends can browse each other’s films and borrow movies from each other.) The other great thing is they have other sister-apps for books and music! MovieBuddy, BookBuddy, etc. As far as I can tell, it’s the same deals and same functionality throughout all of them. Bottom line, I highly recommend this app!.Version: 8.8.5

The best app on the market for physical collectors!I downloaded every other app on the market for organizing your movie collection and this is by far the best one in my opinion. The scanner works really fast, it’s incredibly accurate and if not 99% of the time gives you the correct option to choose before adding it to your library, the cover art they choose looks good, they give you an incredible amount of info to filter your collection by, and a ton more. Last but not least the price to upgrade to the pro features is the cheapest of them all and definitely worth it. Great work! (I never write reviews for apps but this one just happened to be perfect!).Version: 9.5.3

Bit of a learning curve but so worth itBeen using and exploring other apps and inventory cataloging methods and have not been satisfied so far with what i used until now. I have a large collection of movies and it is difficult to keep track of what i own. I have caught myself buying duplicates and always find myself experiencing buyers remorse not soon after. This app sure makes keeping track of everything, even movies/shows on my wishlist. I also like that i can keep track of loaned out media and to sho I loaned them to. But what I absolutely love about this app is that i don’t have to pay a monthly fee to use it. A one time payment of $10 is awesome..Version: 10.0.0

One of the best apps I’ve found.This is the best app available for cataloging your movies. The creators offer a generous trial period of 50 movies. By the time I got to that limit I was sold and purchased the pro version. I only wish I had seen the bundle with Book Buddy before I made the purchase. I would have purchased the bundle instead. A suggestion to the app creators: I think you should make that bundle purchase available when someone is ready to make the Movie Buddy purchase. Other than that I am totally satisfied with this app and would highly recommend it..Version: 9.5.0

Best support team I’ve ever dealt with!I had several devices connected to the same iCloud account with only one phone not syncing properly. The support team was very responsive and helpful giving detailed feedback requests. If you are thorough with your first request for help they may be able to sort it out in one email. Response time was next day for each communication. This app is great for those that wish to consolidate the physical space the movies take on a shelf but still have a simple way to browse for a movie to within moments..Version: 9.0.2

Best movie/show database I've foundThis is an excellent way to keep track of movies and shows that have been watched. The one time upgrade fee was definitely worth it, and I'm so glad it isn't yet another subscription. Favorite features include filtering movies/shows by tags, seeing the top actors/directors in my collection, quickly importing information but having flexibility to edit most fields, and being able to add an entire show series as a single entry. Thank you to the developer for creating such an easy to use but fully featured app..Version: 8.15.5

Movie buh-uh-ddddyI’ve been looking for an app for a long time to keep track of my movies and allowing them to be alphabetical like I keep mine on the shelf. I kept a note on my phone and it was a pain to keep up with. This app makes things so much easier and I’m glad it has the option to ignore prefixes in movie titles. The options to also add formatting let’s me know if the movie I have is blue ray or not. So when I’m out and see the movie I can easily check what I have and can slowly upgrade my collection to blue ray/4k. This is my favorite app I have. Thanks MovieBuddy.Version: 9.4.5

Great for movie collectorsI have tried quite a few apps for my movie collection of around 2000 movies and this is by far my favorite one. I love how easy it is to navigate and find a movie I wanna watch. You can even organize the movies and edit all the information however way you want to. You can even add a little section for movies on your wish list that you’re looking out for. Love it my only small problem is trying to move movies from the wish list to movies I have and having to re-edit everything..Version: 10.1.0

Solid App, keeps getting betterI have been using this app (and the book app) for several years. I’m giving 4 stars not because the app itself is well built, pretty good user interface, and they keep it updated; I’m giving 5 stars because of their responsiveness. The latest of which resulted in making it much easier for us to record when we’ve watched a movie again. One day I would like the ability to share a text list of movie title with year via text message or email. A few of my friends and I like to exchange movie recommendations, nothing fancy, having that as an option would be a nice enhancement..Version: 8.14.8

$5 upgrade totally worth itI just downloaded this app yesterday and has already become so useful! Love the option to being able to scan all my movie barcodes, and then was able to compare those that I already had a digital copy for. Also liked that I am able to select various movies and add “tags” or “formats” to help me know which movies I have physical bluray/dvd copies, which are digital and/or iTunes downloads, etc. This will definitely make picking a movie to watch much easier and it will keep me from buying duplicates!.Version: 8.12.12

Fantastic organization app!Thanks to this tool, I’ve found myself watching more movies. Turns out I own plenty that I’ve never even seen... Seriously this is a great app for keeping track of a large film collection and the tools are made much more powerful thanks to the MASSIVE amount of info that each film keeps track of. Tracking actors, directors, and other crew across different films is a breeze and organizing your library by different metrics is super useful. Well worth the upgrade cost! Note to the devs: Please make one for video games.....Version: 8.14.4

Does the job, but a painI have their book app too, so I should have known better, but it’s taken me an hour just to scan 50 movies because their search is awful. It either pulls up the wrong movie entirely, or can’t find it. I’ve had to manually input close to half so far. It’s haven’t checked yet, but the book app also has trouble returning results from my collection sometimes because of how it catalogs parts of the title/info, so hopefully it won’t be as bad for this. But it ultimately is good enough for me to organize my collection, and is the cheaper of the options with a one time purchase.Version: 9.8.2

Exactly what I needed!I am so happy with this app! The functionality and tools are exactly what I was looking for in a movie organization app. Adding movies to my library was extremely easy, and I love how customizable the content is. The backup and sync features make it simple for sharing this app with my family. An added surprise was the ability to track not only what movies I have lent out, but also the movies that I have borrowed from others. Overall, a great app and absolutely worth the little bit of money..Version: 8.12.11

Great!This is a really great app, I love being able to sort all of my favorite shows and keep track of all the ones I want to watch. If I could recommend anything I would love for there to be an ability to copy all tags from one item to put them on to another. Like if I’m watching a comedy sci-fi TV show I want to be able to immediately copy the comedy and sci-fi tags to all seasons instead of having to manually put them in. It would make it easier.Version: 9.1.8

Awesome ToolAwesome tool for cataloging movies. After entering a few movies I decided to upgrade to full version. Being able to scan multiple movies at once is great. I did about 10-15 at a time to ensure all were being added. My catalogue came out to over 600 movies! I never thought we had so many. I used this app to see if we have a movie in our library or not. Today it saved me from buying 2 movies. That alone paid for this app!!! Highly recommended..Version: 8.12.9

Does what it is supposed to doVery easy to enter new movies. I just use the tablet or phone camera to scan the barcode and it gets all the information from the internet. Out of the 160+ I have done so far there have only been 3 or 4 that I have had to go out and find and those were obscure tv series. If you loan friends and family your movies it has a Loaned To category that helps you keep track. The only reason I don’t give it 5 stars is because I think it could use a little better filter/search function..Version: 8.12.10

Wonderful app!To the developers, this is such a great app. It looks great, easy to navigate, and has really cool features that I wouldn’t have thought of (such as the loan tracker, wish list, the ability to search by director or actor or whatever). It’s well done and it has greatly helped me in keeping track of my movies. Preparing for a move and having the ability to track my movies, and print the list, will help me greatly with letting the movers know exactly what is there..Version: 8.12.10

Love the new featuresThe loan history feature is tremendous. Now I know who borrowed each album in the past, and I can also see who my most frequent borrowers are. And I appreciate that it’s much easier to automatically scan all my bar codes now. This app is packed with surprising features. Someone really thought this through. I can’t get over that the developers try to fulfill every suggestion they get. Good job!.Version: 8.11.0

Wow! This app is awesome.I especially like that you can back up and restore, your Movie library to iCloud. I didn’t even know about this app until my previous movie library app (i.e. my movies, pro) tried to make me pay a second time when I already paid for and owned the pro version. Come to find out this app has all the same features and more. Good job!.Version: 9.4.5

Amazing.I am elated to have found this app. I use it to track my Blu Rays etc. I like physical media for ownership and uncompressed audio/video. I use it to track what I have hard copy of (versus digital). Whenever I buy anything BD or 4k I simply add in here. Whenever I want to seriously watch something I use this app to browse and choose. After months of use I highly recommend this app..Version: 9.8.0

Great Organization App.This app is great if you love movies and want to organize movies you’ve watched or movies you want to watch. It’s a great way to check out a movie if you’re bored one night. It’s just an organization app and you can’t watch any actual movies. After about 70 movie listing you have to pay $5 to have infinite. Not too bad..Version: 9.4.5

Well Designed Movie TrackerI love this program. It is easy to add movies. It allows numerous ways to change a movie’s information to fit your needs. Everything about a movie is imported quickly and easily. I do wish that there was a public rating imported for each movie besides my own personal rating, but that’s a minor thing. Overall, this is an exceptional movie organizing program!.Version: 9.4.5

Best Movie Library App everI’m absolutely love this. Eat to use. Add your movie. It lists the actors, ratings, movie length. The free texts under the title allows me to add what format I have the movie in. Scrolling through the pics to find a movie is easy since they are alphabetical. I was thrilled to find this and recommend it to everyone.Version: 9.7.17

Great app, but still waiting..Im still waiting for the option to put movie/tv titles starting with a number under one tab, called "#" , instead of having a 1 tab, 2 tab, 3 tab, etc.. see example below For me, This would be a 5 star app if that change was made...Version: 8.14.2

Please make this available for droid!I really, really enjoy this app. I love having this on hand to double check what movies I have, which I want, etc. There’s wishlists and lists for who you loan them out to- perfect! The only reason I didn’t give it a five star rating is because it’s only compatible with iOS systems. Please make this available for droid!!!.Version: 9.2.4

Love MovieBuddy! Take Delicious Library to go.I have used Delicious Library on my Mac for years, but had to export my library to Spreadsheet, CSV, or PDF to take with me on my phone.😫 Kimico's MovieBuddy imports data from a CSV. I started with this free version and with Kimico' helpful support team I have a sample of my movie library on my phone. Next stop, purchasing Kimico's bundle for movies, music, and books. 👏🏻😀.Version: 8.8.4

Just purchased the app today...Just purchased the app today and already having issues. Was hoping to scan all my movies today but halfway through, I keep getting a cannot connect to server error over and over. If this gets resolved, I will definitely give 5 stars..Version: 8.10.0

An absolute lifesaver!This has helped me so much with not buying duplicates while out thrifting, and seeing what movies are missing out of a series. The only thing I wish it had is a Need to Buy list to put in movies that I need to pick up. Thank you devs for this awesome app!.Version: 9.7.14

Great for a movie databaseI’m retired computer programmer, and I could write something like this. But why should I bother when it’s such a good job? I can track where it is. It just pulls data in off the web by scanning and frankly I can’t think of anything else I’d add..Version: 9.8.1

What happened in the latest update?I really have enjoyed this app, but this latest update has made it look horrible, one movie title edits details are spread out over several lines with voiceover. I would like to have it back to where the movie title, the movie length, and other details are all on one line. It is too cluttered the way it is now. Please change it back!.Version: 9.1.11

Just what I was looking forAmazing app and very easy to use! Loving it. Interface is simple but effective for what you need it for. Only might be an option to sort alphabetically and if PLEASE, PLEASE make an app for video game inventory. I would buy that in a heartbeat..Version: 10.1.0

ThanksGreat app, I can deal with one time payment. Cheaper than money wasted on buying duplicates. Still have yet look at all of the app but also being able to mark what you have loaned out..Version: 10.1.0

Perfect App For Movie CollectorsI love this app. Though it’s free, I did purchase the extra part for scanning more dvds in rather than what comes with the free part of the app. My grandmother has trouble remembering what dvds she has. This app is a lifesaver! Definitely worth it!!.Version: 10.1.0

Needs improvementI love the app but I hate that I can’t share it across other devices. I’d love to be able to pull up my profile on my iPad or phone or Computer without having to update them all separately. I don’t understand why it want sync with our other devices that are logged into cloud and or iTunes..Version: 9.2.4

Great serviceThis app works wonderful but there are a fair amount of titles missing or that do need be manually added, I also wish there was a way you could click on more than one movie at a time instead of adding a single title.Version: 8.15.7

Love this appI love this app! Am considering paying for full app. But one thing I wish under the Watch Status there was a “watching” selection. Forbid you are currently watching it and not fully finished with it.Version: 9.7.13

GreatI really liked this app. Only issue I have is you don’t have movies that are complete collection when you go to search. If you upgrade that would be good.Version: 8.13.5

HelpfulI love using this app. It helps me keep track off all my movies not only with how they’re organized to who I loan them to. Convenient when I’m out looking for new movies and don’t remember if I already have it..Version: 8.10.0

MovieBuddy a solid app movieGreat app that performs as advertised. Easy indexing and sorting of movies. Many details that are easily customized. Recommended for all movie collectors Wish developer would add a random title selector (by genre would be sharp) for those times when difficult to decide what to watch..Version: 8.11.0

AwesomeI really like how this app works and it helped me log my ton of movies efficiently. It could be improved upon, especially when listing quantities, but overall an amazing app that I very much enjoy. Two thumbs up!.Version: 8.7.1

Impressive!Impressive little app. Purchased movie buddy pro right away. I would like to see ability to export to pdf and ability to choose certain fields to print and to be able to share files with family members..Version: 8.8.9

Terrific AppI’m super happy with this app. No more buying duplicate DVDs! Customer service is excellent if you have any questions. Totally recommend..Version: 9.8.0

Fantastic!!!I have this app on my phone, and when going in to a store to buy a new movie, it’s so handy to know what is already in my library, avoiding duplicating a title!!!.Version: 9.7.13

Love itI’m happy with this app. It’s making me dive deep into my movie collection. Great hobby to document all the films. I wish I had this sooner. The scanning tool is helpful. Try it out. No subscription and the app is inexpensive. I also like it can sync on iCloud and I can review my whole collection on iphone and ipad. This will make collecting movies much easier..Version: 9.7.11

Decent Database Function So FarHad to ditch my last database app. Got sick of the constant pay-to-use updates. Just needed a database that works! Now I have to re-input my entire collection. Hopefully, this app remains stable and retains my movie data for several years..Version: 9.7.3

The Best!This app, and its companion pieces for CDs and Books, are, in my estimation, the best pieces of cataloging software available anywhere today. Not only are they fine pieces of intelligent design, they are very reasonably priced for the value they offer. In addition, the company offers excellent customer support. In summary, these “Buddies” are great; buy the package!.Version: 9.6.6

Camera flash not workingLoved the BookBuddy app so I bought this for my movie collection but when I go to scan the barcodes with the back light on it freezes my camera and I find it doesn’t recognize a lot of barcodes..Version: 9.5.10

Video covers, Selected episodesSome of the video covers on IMDb are are not being downloaded. When trying to change it, the one on the IMDb site is not there. This program will only accept the IMDb number of the series, instead of a particular episode. IMDb has the information on that particualr episode, but the program will not accept it..Version: 9.6.2

OutstandingThis app is very easy to use. I love all the features. Well worth the money..Version: 9.5.8

Movie BuddyLove this app, keeps track of all the movies and tv shows that I own. Very easy to use..Version: 9.5.8

Finally, exactly what I was looking forI can't believe how easy the developer made this. It can scan the barcode and find your movies. You have to review the ones you scan and sometimes correct the cover photos or the edition etc. but it fills in all the things. Trailers, dates, imdb etc and it scans very quickly. I can scan my entire collection in an afternoon. I have 2 people setup on different devices. In order to have the shared database and settings automatically on all devices, we use one dropbox account on both devices. There is a way to do the same with iCloud if it's using the same account on all devices. It took a while to figure out why it wouldn't sync within the shared Apple Family iCloud drive. It wasn't clear at first that it had to be the same apple id on all devices, so it won't work with different people's devices..Version: 9.1.8

Excellente applicationJ’utilise cette application depuis plusieurs années sans problème. Je la recommande à tous..Version: 9.0.6

This is my dream app!This is exactly the app I always wanted. And finally someone came out with my “dream” app!.Version: 8.15.4

Games?Love the app for my movies. But have you thought of adding on it so I can inventory my games for multiple systems.Version: 8.14.10

Great AppI got this about 2 years ago and it’s easy to use and really practical. The only small issue I have is when I try to Export my list, it doesn’t take all my movies. I see them in the App, but not on the exported list. I have the most updated version. Any suggestions?.Version: 8.14.0

Easily Worth The MoneyThis app is easily worth the pittance you pay for it. Other apps are run by scammers (iCollect, Collectors) or are an awful subscription service just to use (CLZ). This is an oldschool, high-quality app that has been on the market for years and, from my experience in the past month, works almost flawlessly. I had a few crashes while switching between this app and another a bunch of times in a row, but otherwise zero problems. Easy to use, easy exporting, all data kept on your phone so no database issues. The custom tags and filtering by that alone is worth the price of admission. 5 stars. Would give 6 if I could..Version: 8.12.11

The bestThis app for keeping a record of your DVDs and blu-rays is the best there is for the cost, once you purchase it, and I tried almost of them. Just lacks TV series, but apparently they will be adding that in the future. Keep up the great work..Version: 8.1.0

Movie Buddy ProEasy to use, quick, well organized. I love this product!! I strongly recommende it to people who have a big collection (1000+) movies and who loan movies to friends..Version: 7.6.8

Worth the priceI have tried and paid for other apps but this is the best so far..Version: 7.5.4
