Awesome!

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

Awesome!!

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

Incredible!

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.

I love Movie Buddy

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.

The best app!

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

Brilliant APP!

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.

Awesome

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

Syncing issues

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

10/10

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

Great for movie collectors

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.

Just what I was looking for

Amazing 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.

Perfect App For Movie Collectors

I 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!!

Thanks

Great 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.

No Subscription FEE

Movie Buddy works great and I bought a lifetimes license for 10 dollars. I use a hand barcode scanner to scan in my whole Movie Library, and new movies I add.

Does not scan any longer

Updated review: reduced to 1 star. App doesn't work anymore. Continually crashes and will no longer save scans. Wasted time and money scanning hundreds of dvds for nothing and now I can't scan the other half of my collection. Garbage app.

I bought the pro version because I have a huge movie media collection and wanted to finally keep track of it. I like that I can export to a PDF list and also have the collection with me on the go when shopping for used or new media. It's ok but it has problems that need to be addressed. -You have to scan a little at a time because it frequently gets the wrong versions or a totally different movie and sometimes it says it didn't scan one that it did or vice versa. -It seems to default to new reboot versions of old movies I've had to go back and check multiple times which is frustrating if you're trying to scan hundreds of movies. Sometimes it puts other movies that just have the same word in the title and aren't even connected to the UPC that you scanned. -Trying to scan a series of movie sequels is tedious when it shouldn't be (eg: Friday the 13th 1-10) it mixes them up and you have to manually fix them. - Boxed sets are also annoying and it cannot find most of them, I had to manually add. It's been a lot more tedious than I expected and not even halfway through. This needs a hefty update to have more accurate results, a UPC is connected to a specific version so not sure why it's often so wrong. I hope an update comes out that fixes this database, I'm still using it for now but we'll see.

Response from developer

Thank you for the feedback. We’re very sorry for the crashes and save issue. MovieBuddy is normally very stable, so this may point to a local data, sync, or device-specific issue that we would really like to investigate and help resolve. If you are willing, please contact us from MovieBuddy > Settings > Send Feedback and let us know whether the app crashes when tapping Save or shows an error message. Regarding barcode scanning accuracy, MovieBuddy uses multiple UPC lookup services first and then searches TMDB by the detected product title, since there is unfortunately no public UPC-to-movie database. This can sometimes lead to incorrect matches, especially for older titles, sequels, and box sets. Box sets are also difficult because movie databases generally catalog individual movies rather than retail box sets. We understand the frustration and would be happy to help troubleshoot the crashes and saving problem and also offer workarounds for boxsets.

Great app for movie lovers

I have an extensive physical movie collection and this is a wonderful help to keep it all in order

Great app

Need to find a way to show the format. DVD/ blu-ray / 4k

MovieBest

Después de probar 5 catalogadores de películas, éste sin duda es el más completo.

Love this app

I’m really enjoying cataloging all of my DVD’s. The only thing I wish is that there was an easier option to print out just the movie titles.

Good

That’s fine
