MovieBuddy: Movie & TV Tracker 4+

Brilliant! Get this app!

If you are a person who likes to keep a record of the movies and TV programs you watch, or would like to watch, this app is perfection. I have spent years looking for some thing this simple - every other app is crudded up with social media and or advertising, and is so impossible to sort through that I had resigned myself to using Apple notes or Google tasks to keep track. With this app, you can very easily search on the Internet to download information for any movie or TV show you are hoping to see. You can keep the interface as simple as you like. On my phone I just have movie posters for everything in my lists. Click on the movie poster and you can access any information you need, (metadata, reviews, links to streaming services) and hide anything you don’t want to see. The UI is a little challenging, but the developers are incredibly helpful and very responsive. One quick email sorted me out. Love this app!

The best app on the market for physical collectors!

I downloaded every other app on the market for organizing your movie collection and this is by far the best one in my opinion. The scanner works really fast, it’s incredibly accurate and if not 99% of the time gives you the correct option to choose before adding it to your library, the cover art they choose looks good, they give you an incredible amount of info to filter your collection by, and a ton more. Last but not least the price to upgrade to the pro features is the cheapest of them all and definitely worth it. Great work! (I never write reviews for apps but this one just happened to be perfect!)

Impressed

This app is exactly the type of app I was looking for to catalog my movie collection. Scanning movies in is a breeze. It took me awhile to figure out that I could do several titles at a time, but now that I can, it’s a must faster process.

The only reason I have not given 5 stars is that there are a few areas where the app is not very intuitive. 1) I can’t figure out how to export in a format the way I want it to look (cover art, title, & other specific criteria listed by itself). 2) I recently bought a new iPad & it proved to be frustrating trying to get my list to populate on that device. The exporting/importing required multiple attempts. 3) I want the same info to populate for all of my titles, but when I’m scanning them in, I also have to add fields. I wish there was a way for these to appear automatically.

Overall these are fairly small concerns. I would still recommend this app to someone with a large collection of movies/shows.

Developer Response ,

Thank you for your feedback! 1) You can export specific fields via the "Fields" settings > Edit > Add Field Group, and then enter the group name and specify the fields. 2) You should select Settings > Sync > Select Service > Sync with iCloud > Confirm > Merge. Do that on both devices and your library will be synced. 3) You can select Settings > General > Fields to Edit, and specify which fields you always wish to appear on the New Movie / Edit Movie page.
