About

IMDBuddy

Features
Read full description

IMDBuddy is the movie buddy for people who can’t press play without checking IMDb first. Two apps in one: DRAW & TRACK THE IMDb TOP 250 • You and your partner can never decide what to watch? Spin a cinematic reel for a random pick from the Top 250 and never draw the same movie twice. • Mark movies To Watch, Up Next, or Watched, with one‑tap undo. • Every film shows its poster, IMDb rating, vote count, and a quick synopsis. Tap through for cast, director, runtime, and where to watch. CHECK ANY RATING — OFFLINE • Search 1,400+ movies rated 7.0 or higher on IMDb, with no internet. • Perfect for the seat‑back screen on a flight: if a movie isn’t in the list, it’s rated below 7.0 — so you never watch a dud blind again. • Pull to refresh (with a free TMDB key) to bring the list up to date before you travel. NICE TOUCHES • Where‑to‑watch links open in JustWatch. • Open any title on IMDb, or share it. • Respects Low Data Mode. • No account, no ads, no tracking. Ratings and vote counts come from IMDb; posters and plots from TMDB and OMDb. Not affiliated with IMDb, TMDB, OMDb, or JustWatch.
