Love it

This app has helped me keep track of all our movies. I just love it!!

A Great Trilogy of Apps

I first downloaded MusicBuddy and found it to be well designed and easy to use. Following that experience I bought the other two Buddy data apps, MovieBuddy, and BookBuddy. All three are available as a bundle at a reduced price, which is great value. Finding the relevant item in these apps is so very easy, they check online for information and covers. I was amazed by the information downloaded for some of my music albums, which included not only the main artist but also, in the case for example of Bat Out of Hell, the names of two orchestras, and 20 performers. The creators of these apps have worked hard on their development and don’t seem to have missed a trick. The latest version of MusicBuddy now enables the user to view album covers in list view or three different sizes. Thanks for that Kimico. I hope you’ll bring that feature to the other apps. (Edit: it’s now in MovieBuddy. Great!) Finally, I’d like to praise Kimico for its support. I had a couple of technical questions which were promptly and successfully answered.

Fantastic App

This is everything you need in a movie and tv show collection manager.

It’s very user friendly and the UI is very pleasing aesthetically. It’s simplistic approach makes adding your physical or digital content a breeze and unlike other similar apps which try to include every single option on every single screen this one doesn’t- it lets you do what you want and it does it really well.

That’s not to say it’s lacking features-oh no, this app has all the bells and whistles you need, you can add /remove filters, create custom filters have custom artwork etc etc the list is endless. Even the app icon is nice to look at!

You also get a fully operational app with no ads or nag screens for up to 50 items so that you can try out all the features- that way you know exactly what you’re buying. Talking of buying for the price of a medium coffee you unlock the apps full potential and support the devs.

Talking of devs. I have contacted them 2-3 times during my free try-out stage and I received REALLY FAST responses! I knew then this person takes pride in their work -Bravo!

It’s also a breath of fresh-air and so refreshing to find an app which hasn’t jumped on the subscription service band wagon. Thank you for that.

I look forward to seeing future updates with some additional features which I hope include - tapping an actor name to see bio and filmography ;)

Great app!

I actually collect VHS tapes and need to keep track of them some how, tried google docs and didn’t work well. This app is exactly what I needed, highly recommended!

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!

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

Issues With Upgrade

The app all in all is pretty great. My only issue is that when I went to get the upgrade for 4.99+tax, it tried charging my account $20. I wouldn’t care about the price if it said $20 upfront.

Some TV series require a "watching" state

Please add this state!Thank you!!!

Finally, exactly what I was looking for

I 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.

Fantastic

Great app. Makes everything simple when it comes to labeling movies in a series.
