I did not need an app to try and value my collection, I just want an easily accessible list. This is shareable via the cloud and you can export to CSV, PDF, and more. Well worth the $10 price tag. ### 5/5 — Ótimo *2026-07-30* Cumpriu o que prometeu ### 1/5 — Not very useful *2026-07-29, version 10.2.1* I had hoped to catalog my library of 1500 CDs and loaded a few, foolishly paid for it then found it can’t scan certain barcodes making the catalog infinitely harder to do. Then I found that it doesn’t sync between an iPad and an iPhone like Kindle syncs books. You have to do it through iCloud but that didn’t work for me. I regret purchasing this app. ### 5/5 — Perfect and easy *2026-07-25, version 10.2.1* Great easy to use app. Support where helpful and timely in response. I bought the pro version ### 5/5 — Does it simple and well *2026-07-07, version 10.2.0* Not over complicated. Perfect for my needs. ### 5/5 — Best way to document your music *2026-07-06, version 10.2.0* I have a ton of LPs, 45s and CDs and I’m able to keep these in order with my own album art with their easy scanner. I paid the $10 unlimited plan because the first 50 was so easy. Other apps wanted $10 for a year and weren’t even this good. The search is great and if your stuff has any barcodes it comes up instantly. I can even send a PDF list to my friends. It also comes in handy when I’m at antique stores so I don’t get something I already have. It’s saved me 3 times already. Keep up the good work! ### 5/5 — Top *2026-06-21, version 10.2.0* Première application que j’achète en 20 ans de Apple. Au top pour classer ma centaine de vinyles.👍 ### 1/5 — thank you for nothing *2026-06-08, version 10.1.0* i paid 10$ for a worthless app i try import dicogs collecton. otsnot working. after 20 hours uploading a simple csv file. nothing happens. want my money backk ### 5/5 — Best app ever *2026-05-25, version 10.1.0* Best app I never knew I needed. Easy to use. Pro is only a one time fee of 9.99 and worth it. Now I won’t buy duplicates because I have my catalog with me always. ### 5/5 — OUTSTANDING! *2026-05-21, version 10.1.0* I’m a massive Vinyl Junky and this App is amazing! Couple of slight niggles but on the whole was definitely worth the £10 for the unlimited vinyl additions! I will never buy the same vinyl again - love this App! ## Frequently asked questions about MusicBuddy ### What does MusicBuddy do?
