The MovieBuddy app provides users with a free version that allows the management of up to 50 movies. This version retains all the features of the premium MovieBuddy Pro edition. For users who want to keep more than 50 movies, an In-App Purchase option is available to upgrade to unlimited movie storage.
One of the main functionalities offered by MovieBuddy is the ability to add movies through various methods. Users can scan a barcode using the iPhone camera or a Bluetooth scanner, enter a UPC or EAN-13 code, search for movies online using keywords, add movies manually, or import a list from a CSV file. This flexibility allows for easy and efficient cataloging of personal movie collections.
Organizing one's movie library is seamless with MovieBuddy. Users can categorize their movies into several categories such as "My Movies" for owned films, a "Wish List" for desired titles, "Borrowed" for those lent from friends, and "Previously Owned" for movies no longer in the collection. This structured approach aids users in managing their movies effectively.
Additionally, the app enables syncing across multiple devices through iCloud or Dropbox, ensuring that the movie library is accessible from anywhere. MovieBuddy also offers various features to enhance user experience, such as customizable filters, advanced sorting options, and the ability to track loans, allowing users to see which movies are currently borrowed out.
For those who like to maintain their library efficiently, MovieBuddy provides capabilities such as quick searching, exporting libraries to CSV, PDF, or HTML, and options for backing up to the cloud. With a robust activity history and duplicate detection features, users can manage their collections with ease, while preserving privacy by saving local libraries on their devices. Feedback is encouraged as users can get in touch for support or connect through their social media channels.
