### 5/5 — Awesome!

*2026-07-27, version 10.2.0*

This helps me keep all of my movies organized so I don’t buy them twice

### 5/5 — Awesome!!

*2026-07-26*

Really easy to add movies and categorize them. Love it for my DVD collection

### 5/5 — Incredible!

*2026-07-20, version 10.2.0*

A wonderful resource to help organize my dvd collection. I especially love how the app lets you look online for the exact cover art. I also enjoy how simple it is to use the barcode on the back of my dvd to enter the movie into my collection.

### 5/5 — I love Movie Buddy

*2026-07-08*

Movie Buddy is so easy to use. It makes it easy to check if I have a DVD before I make a purchase, eliminating double up purchases. The only downfall is UK barcodes, they are hit and miss.

### 5/5 — The best app!

*2026-06-29, version 10.2.0*

All my collection in an app. I love it. Thanks!!

### 5/5 — Brilliant APP!

*2026-06-19*

I manage my massive catalog of REMUX movies, small file size movies, kids movies, shows and documentaries via Movie Buddy. 

I use tags, categories, loaning feature, wish-list etc to perfectly customise the app as per my requirements. And there are lot more features that I haven’t explored yet. 

Another fantastic feature is to generate reports in multiple ways and export them to Excel etc. Which is super useful for quick analytics or sharing my collection with friends. 

I was using Binnerup Consult app My Mohies for long time and loved it. But it got too expensive via hefty subscription fees. 

With one time payment Movie Buddy is excellent value but doesn’t not compromise on any key features.

There is a learning curve. But you get the hang of it, it’s just superb and easy to use.

### 5/5 — Awesome

*2026-06-13, version 10.1.0*

It takes care of all my dvd catalogs and puts them in a format I can verify and review.

### 3/5 — Syncing issues

*2026-06-06*

I like this trio of apps but have stopped using them due to syncing issues. I have followed advice from them to try to resolve but no luck. Since I want apps that can be used on both devices, this is no longer a good app for me

### 5/5 — 10/10

*2026-05-21, version 10.1.0*

i’ve always loved collecting DVDs now I have a way to not buy doubles anymore

### 5/5 — Great for movie collectors

*2026-05-21*

I 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.
