But it is getting better at it. ### 5/5 — Sehr gut! *2026-06-12* Das ist eine sehr nützliche App, durch die ich eine viel bessere Übersicht über meine Musiksammlung bekommen habe. Klasse! ### 5/5 — MusicBuddy Pro: Vinyls & CDs *2026-05-09* Ich bin sehr zufrieden mit der Sammlung App 🤘🏻 ### 5/5 — Love, love, love! *2026-04-16, version 10.0.7* So I have had this app for a long while…5-6 years. It was during Covid when I had too much time on my hands. I downloaded this app, Music Buddy Pro (along with the app for dvd’s and books) and got to work. I have a decent cd collection, in excess of 500 and it was so easy to catalog each one. Just scan the upc code and ALL the info about the cd is now at your fingertips! How many times in the past I would buy a cd (or dvd or book) then find out I already had it at home. Now I have an inventory of it all. Easy to search within the app for artist, song etc. I love these apps. I would give 10 stars if I could. ### 5/5 — Been using for a decade *2026-03-10* This has been my goto for cataloging my vinyl collection for the last decade. The only thing I wish it had was a way to share a library database among family members so that we could all use it for the group collection. ### 5/5 — Indispensable. *2026-03-06* Superbe outil pour connaître la musique que j’ai achetée. Et éviter d’acheter plusieurs fois le même album. Merci. ### 4/5 — Bien mais 1 bémol *2026-02-26* Cette app est vraiment au top et mérite largement son prix pour la gestion d'une discothèque volumineuse. Très paramétrable. 80% de mes CD sont trouvés par le code barre, 15% par la recherche web et 5% à saisir manuellement. Un must ! Un petit bémol : je synchronise plusieurs appareils iphones et ipad via icloud. Parfois un appareil refuse de récupérer les derniers éléments. En général il suffit de désactiver puis réactiver la synchro. Une fois j'ai du supprimer l'appli puis réinstaller. ### 5/5 — Hat Vorteile *2026-01-25* War vorher bei Discogs- manche Punkte haben mich da genervt. Habe durch den Wechsel wieder viel Arbeit, aber FÜR MICH ist Music Buddy Pro bis jetzt besser ! ### 5/5 — Application au top mais manque de partage de nos listes Avec des amis *2025-12-06* L’application est super, il manque juste un moyen de pouvoir partager notre collection avec d’autres personnes ayant aussi l’application ### 5/5 — Utile et pratique *2025-11-14* J’utilise cette application depuis plusieurs années, ainsi que ses consœurs, BookBuddy et les MovieBuddy. Elles sont tellement pratiques qu’elles me sont devenues indispensables. Je n’utilise pas l’option partage en ligne, de toute façon trop chère pour moi. Je recommande fortement cette application (et les autres de Kimico) ## Frequently asked questions about MusicBuddy Pro ### What does MusicBuddy Pro do?
