### 2/5 — Frustrating!

*2026-02-26, version 4.9.17*

Every t8me to start to us this program I have a problem. Maybe I’m the problem, LOL. Each time i open it to add new titles (CDs, vinyl, whatever), it opens on a different page and it takes me a while to start again from where I left off. What am I missing, doing wrong. Please help!

### 2/5 — The developer ignores issues

*2025-11-16, version 4.9.14*

The app has a nasty bug relating to scrobbling. I wrote to the developer but he basically ignored me. It’s been months and the issue has not been fixed.

### 5/5 — Perfect for the record store!

*2025-05-08, version 4.9.9*

Finally an app that takes my discogs Wishlist and sorts by artist surname just like record stores do. Makes life so much easier.

### 4/5 — Almost perfect..

*2025-04-27*

I love this app to bits, it’s loads better than the app that Discogs provides, particularly where organization and UI are concerned. I’m still trying to find a detailed explanation of what the pro version entails, because rn it doesn’t seem like I received any upgrades or new features that I didn’t have while using the free version. If the $10 is just to support the developers, I have absolutely no problem with that, but if that’s the case there needs to be transparency. 

Forgive me if these are things that already exist behind the paywall, but if that’s the case I’m not seeing it. 

1. I wish there was a way to add collections and tags for records that are in your wishlist. I have many records that I’d like to purchase eventually, but some are more important than others. I’m sure most people can relate to that. I would love to be able to tag records in my wishlist as “most wanted” or “high priority” for easy viewing of records that I really want to keep an eye on in the Discogs marketplace. Currently, when I long press on an album in my wishlist I DO see an option to tag, but when I click on the tag button, the app force closes itself. I’m not sure if it’s a glitch or what??

2. Also, I’d like to be able to upload proper album art for my wishlist as well. Sorry, but the Discogs community is absolutely useless when it comes to uploading quality and cohesive album art, which it’s something that, for me, makes browsing discogs web/app super agitating. 

I think these two simple features would turn this app into a 5 star app in my book, and improve the user experience tenfold. Very grateful for this one either way. I love having an organized, digital home base for my vinyl.

### 4/5 — Great

*2025-04-13, version 4.9.9*

The app itself is amazing. Great for a big library, with such features like scrobbling and Apple Music support. One issue is that using it free is a pain: there’s an unskippable 50 seconds plaque each time you launch the app. Paying is pretty much required

### 5/5 — Essential app for managing your music collection

*2025-04-13, version 4.9.9*

One of the most useful apps on my device, it is arguably *more* useful than the app that it was designed to compliment. Presents your discogs data in a logical and useful style (one click tells you how much of your collection is on vinyl ❤️) with a dazzling interface and great looking layout. 

Link with your last.fm account to scrobble your vinyl plays with a single click. I almost fainted.

Well worth the pro version. Get it.

### 5/5 — Get the pro version...

*2025-04-10*

I hate subscription-based apps where the payments are subtracted automatically. Like all of us, too many electronic monetary numbers swirling around too many accounts/apps. I'm trying to minimize what goes out without my explicit knowledge each n every time, so a one-time payment to their Pro version is ideal for me. Being able to switch between accounts is very handy, and the ability to list things in the marketplace is seamless. Not sure if I can export a collection to another account, or transfer a want list from one account to another, but if I can...6/5 stars. If I can't, I'm sure they'll jump on it. Fun fact: early creator of this app used to use my account to beta test certain features, as my collection is not only somewhat large but very "fluid" in the comings and g-...mostly just comings, as I have trouble letting go n selling ;)

### 5/5 — Completely Brilliant!

*2025-03-07, version 4.9.8*

Such a nice piece of software. UX is top, intuitive, very stable, really highest recommendation in my book. If you’re using discogs to catalog your collection you need this app.

### 3/5 — Needs some work

*2025-02-12, version 4.9.8*

Overall it is a nice app, but definitely needs more attention from the developers. I bought a PRO version, which worked for a while,  but when paid functionality stop working… I had to request a refund from Apple Store

### 4/5 — Great app

*2025-01-28*

Looks wonderful on my devices. Great sorting options here. Please sort out the issue with “Various” (when this is attributed as an artist name), it can’t be manually changed.

**Developer response:** Thanks for your great review!  I take into account the “Various” issue.

### 5/5 — If you collect vinyl, this app is a MUST

*2025-01-25*

I’ve been using this app for almost 10 years and I don’t know where I would be without it. The interface is much more graphically appealing and easier to use than the Discogs app imo. Well worth the $6 or so to unlock the ‘premier’ version. You will not regret it!

### 3/5 — Great potential!

*2025-01-09*

This has the potential to replace the Discogs app for me, but it’s lacking a very important feature. It doesn’t offer quick access to the recent sales history. The history tab only shows the low, median, and high price, not the actual recent history. You can get there, but it takes several clicks and steps to get to it.

**Developer response:** Discogs doesn’t share Marketplace stats data with 3rd party apps that use its public API like Discographic, so the app has to scrape these stats from the Discogs website and it’s only done by request of the user to avoid hitting the website unnecessarily. That’s the reason of the too many clicks to reach this info and why is not displayed at first.

### 5/5 — Fantastic!! Great way to display!

*2025-01-07, version 4.9.7*

When I had Apple Music, it was so easy to play a track from my collection (not every track but a lot.) nicely done app that’s easy to add to the collection.

### 4/5 — Awesome

*2024-12-19, version 4.9.7*

Really like it, specially for the scrobbling function. It would be nice if I could see how many times and when I scrobbled an album

### 5/5 — So much better

*2024-11-02, version 4.9.3*

Just moved over to iPhone and discovered this. Thank you! I was worried I was going to have to struggle by with the terrible iOS DiscOgs app!

### 5/5 — Love this App

*2024-10-18*

I have been using this app for years to track our growing record collection. It is amazing.

The only thing I wish would be possible is to share the collection fully with someone else. My wife can log in with the same account, but she doesn't see all the Tags that I have meticulously added to all our records so it feels like she is missing out on all the organization we've honed over the years.

It would be so amazing if Tags could be shared across devices.

## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated)

### 1/5 — Does not have same sign in options as Discogs

*2026-03-18, version 4.9.18*

Discogs allows signing in with google, but that isn’t an option on this app. So there’s no way for me to log in with my existing account. The “contact us” button on the login screen throws an error.

### 1/5 — Nag to buy makes it useless.

*2026-02-03, version 4.9.16*

Nag to buy gets progressively longer the more times you open the app. I don’t need any of the paid functions, I just want my collection available offline, now the nag to buy takes so long to dismiss the app is useless.

### 1/5 — Pointless

*2025-08-30, version 4.9.11*

I can catalog my collection just fine without any app. Particularly one you have to pay for. Plus it’s already there on the discogs site.

### 1/5 — Shameful

*2025-01-26, version 4.9.7*

Forcing us to watch five seconds of subscription ads every time we launch the app is SHAMEFUL and greedy. Who do you think you are?

EDIT: NOW IT’S TEN SECONDS, JUST HOW GREEDY CAN YOU BE

### 1/5 — What Happend

*2024-08-29, version 4.8.12*

This app was amazing but all of a sudden as of today I can’t log in with my Discogs account and it wiped out all if my Discogs stuff completely and after I deleted the app and tried reinstalling it has no indication of my Discogs stuff at all

### 1/5 — All buttons stopped working

*2024-04-26, version 4.8.9*

Having to do this via review as “help” on app not working along with any of the key function buttons, cannot search, look at collection etc. 
also requires multiple sign in and authorisation through Discogs, once should be enough surely.

### 1/5 — App doesn’t work correctly

*2023-10-31, version 4.7.1*

The application closes after 5 second. I purchased premium version but the problem doesn’t solved. iOS 17.0.3

### 1/5 — Don’t bother

*2023-10-02, version 4.6.9*

developer doesn’t answer questions. 
Truly awful- don’t waste your time

### 1/5 — Folders/Tags Don’t Work

*2023-09-24, version 4.6.6*

Overall the updates look great but my folders/tags are no longer appearing in the app.

### 1/5 — App used to be great

*2023-08-22, version 4.6.4*

The app doesn’t work anymore. You have to delete it every day and reinstall it for it to work for a couple hours. RIP the main point of the app is to add to your collection but you can no longer do that. It doesn’t show the artist you scan or even the album. I understand that Discogs changed something but this app should be compatible or what’s the point?!

### 5/5 — Best Discogs management app around

*2026-07-15*

I absolutely LOVE this app. I had been looking for a Discogs replacement app for a while as I don’t like how the official Discogs app forces you to only sort alpha by band or artist first name. Well this app gives you an option to sort by last name and to use a custom sort! Only a minor issue in the sorting as the app puts certain bands that begin with A or I in a different position than where I think they should be, but that’s a minor minor issue. I love being able to add tags to my items and even multiple tags if I want. I also prefer how the album data is presented more then the official Discogs app. And don’t get me started on the reports… oh wow they are incredible. Make sure to purchase the Pro version to unlock the apps full capabilities. You won’t regret it. The app developer is also extremely responsive to support if you need to use it.

### 5/5 — Love it

*2026-05-05*

My go-to app for all things regarding my collection. Super easy to catalog everything. Saved me a few times at a record store to check if I already owned something. I like the ease of barcode scanning and entering catalog numbers when I’m shopping to quick link to music samples and see if it’s something I’m into or not. I love this app.

### 5/5 — Best collectors app

*2026-03-12, version 4.9.17*

Great app for vinyl enthusiasts. Huge database, and I love that it pairs with my Spotify!

### 5/5 — The best

*2026-02-01, version 4.9.16*

Perfect. What Discogs should be!

### 5/5 — Best app ever

*2025-12-25, version 4.9.16*

I’ve been looking for so long for an app that lets me track and organise my CDs and this app has it all. Would highly recommend!

### 5/5 — The Flagship of Music Cataloging

*2025-10-21*

Been using this for a while and have not even considered looking for a better one. Because there isn't.
My collection is safe, and provides me with the knowledge to understand the musical quality/quantity of the media that's preserved.
Working getting the full collection in; will take some time, but enjoying the education and adventure.

### 5/5 — Brilliant app!

*2025-09-02, version 4.9.11*

Been using this app for a long while now and love it. Great way to interface with Discogs!

### 5/5 — Great app

*2025-08-22, version 4.9.11*

One of my favorites!

### 5/5 — A great compliment to Discogs

*2025-08-10, version 4.9.9*

I use this app to catalog my collection. It’s so easy to use, has a barcode scanner, wantlist, and will pick a random album from your collection to play if you shake your phone! Love it!

### 5/5 — FINALLY!!

*2025-06-17, version 4.9.9*

After slogging through the Discogs app for what feels like ages this is a breath of fresh air. All the stuff you want from Discogs and more! Data, charts, facts, snapshots, Full Screen in iPad! My prayers have been answered, well worth the full price! Keep on spinning!
