MovieBuddy: Movie & TV Tracker 4+

A Great Trilogy of Apps

I first downloaded MusicBuddy and found it to be well designed and easy to use. Following that experience I bought the other two Buddy data apps, MovieBuddy, and BookBuddy. All three are available as a bundle at a reduced price, which is great value. Finding the relevant item in these apps is so very easy, they check online for information and covers. I was amazed by the information downloaded for some of my music albums, which included not only the main artist but also, in the case for example of Bat Out of Hell, the names of two orchestras, and 20 performers. The creators of these apps have worked hard on their development and don’t seem to have missed a trick. The latest version of MusicBuddy now enables the user to view album covers in list view or three different sizes. Thanks for that Kimico. I hope you’ll bring that feature to the other apps. (Edit: it’s now in MovieBuddy. Great!) Finally, I’d like to praise Kimico for its support. I had a couple of technical questions which were promptly and successfully answered.

Fantastic App

This is everything you need in a movie and tv show collection manager.

It’s very user friendly and the UI is very pleasing aesthetically. It’s simplistic approach makes adding your physical or digital content a breeze and unlike other similar apps which try to include every single option on every single screen this one doesn’t- it lets you do what you want and it does it really well.

That’s not to say it’s lacking features-oh no, this app has all the bells and whistles you need, you can add /remove filters, create custom filters have custom artwork etc etc the list is endless. Even the app icon is nice to look at!

You also get a fully operational app with no ads or nag screens for up to 50 items so that you can try out all the features- that way you know exactly what you’re buying. Talking of buying for the price of a medium coffee you unlock the apps full potential and support the devs.

Talking of devs. I have contacted them 2-3 times during my free try-out stage and I received REALLY FAST responses! I knew then this person takes pride in their work -Bravo!

It’s also a breath of fresh-air and so refreshing to find an app which hasn’t jumped on the subscription service band wagon. Thank you for that.

I look forward to seeing future updates with some additional features which I hope include - tapping an actor name to see bio and filmography ;)

Cinephile’s Dream

This is the modern equivalent of alphabetising my DVDs on a Friday night in 2002. I love it.

Finally my haphazard lists and notes about what I want to watch/have watched are all in one place. Other apps offer this service, however no others I’ve tried offer this much tailoring and customisation. Love the ability to read IMDb trivia directly in the app and the filtering options. After several months of use I am super happy - truly an organised cinephile’s dream.

One thing I would like to see if possible - the option to search for an actor/director/cinematographer etc., and see their entire works. Outstanding nonetheless however!

Developer Response ,

To search movies by a specific actor (or director, cinematographer, etc.), go to the main page and select the desired filter (e.g. “Actors”). Then, type the desired actor name in the search box at the top of the page, and select it from the search results once it appears. You should now see all the associated movies. 

Note that if the “Actors” filter (or any other filter) doesn’t appear on the main page, you can select it on Settings > Filters page.
