### 4/5 — More albums (at least famous ones)

*2025-10-12, version 2.2.1*

I went through all of childish gambino, frank ocean, and Kendrick’s discography and found that none worked but I still love finding ones that do work. Amazing potential.

### 2/5 — Underutilization

*2025-04-13, version 2.2.1*

Platform as a whole works fine, but very few albums get chosen to be animated. I understand that it takes time and effort to churn out good animations, which is why there should be some sort of approval process where users of the app, or at least verified artists can submit their own work. 2/5.

### 2/5 — The app just doesnt work!

*2025-03-12, version 2.2.1*

This is an AR app yet when i use it nothing happens, it just has a video that does nothing.

### 1/5 — It doesn’t work

*2025-01-23, version 2.2.1*

No matter what I do, the app is just all black

### 5/5 — Really cool app!!

*2024-01-25, version 2.2.1*

I really like this app! I would love if more vinyl albums would be added though! Maybe some popular albums like Taylor Swift’s albums, some old classics like kiss, maybe even Katy Perry! Keep it up!

### 1/5 — ADD MORE TARGETS!!!!!!!!!!!!!

*2023-09-16, version 2.2.1*

bro its been 5 years since you added new targets to your app. i understand that making those animations may take time, there is no possible way yall spend that much time to add more targets. unless yall are trying to make a massive update that add 1000 albums you can scan, you guys are just lazy

### 4/5 — Ignore the bad reviews!!

*2023-02-12, version 2.1.1*

This app is actually cool and it works really well but they need to add more albums. The people leaving bad reviews need to realize that it’s not going to animate every single vinyl, since they literally have to HAND-ANIMATE every single vinyl animation. They’ve only done the most popular vinyls, since most people have them.

### 1/5 — Not enough art

*2022-05-11, version 2.1.0*

Just like everyone else is saying, there just isn’t enough art for anyone to really want this. I tried it on my album the sciences by sleep and obviously to be expected it didn’t work. I knew it wasn’t going to work but I think there should still be a way to suggest albums for artwork.

### 1/5 — All it is is some video super imposed with image tracker

*2022-05-02, version 2.1.0*

I had much much higher hopes for this than what it actually is. With AR, you usually assume 3D projected into real space via LiDAR or spatial compute. This is just playing video based on an image tracker.

Not to mention the app is quite slow to download the video or for some doesn’t even register.

Could have skipped the book all together and just went to the artists instagrams and viewed it through there.

### 1/5 — Don’t Waste Your Time

*2022-03-29, version 2.1.0*

Downloaded this app to use on my record collection ( I have about 45, so a wide range of genres and more “popular” albums from over time” and none of them except one were recognized. Don’t waste your time with this app if you’re looking for any album to work. I seen this on tiktok and thought it was cool; but the only album that worked is Thriller by MJ. Widen your range of albums if you want better reviews
