## What is Groovv?

The beautiful way to catalogue, track, and explore your vinyl collection - and the collectors behind it. Groovv pairs with Discogs to give you a stunning visual library of your records, with smart features Discogs doesn't offer.

YOUR COLLECTION, YOUR WAY Browse in a classic grid, detailed list, the signature Crate Flick view, or Shelf view - sorted by your own tags so the app matches your real shelves. Select multiple records at once to tag or tidy them in one go. Own two pressings of the same record? Keep multiple copies, each with its own condition and history. Filter by genre or by media and sleeve condition, search instantly - notes, tags and custom fields included - and sort twelve ways, from artist and label to value, plays, and colour.

SCAN TO ADD Point your camera at a barcode or album cover and Groovv identifies the record using AI and Discogs data. Add it in seconds with condition, purchase price, and notes.

IMPORT FROM DISCOGS Already on Discogs? Connect your account and import your entire collection in minutes. Added or removed records? Tap "Sync" - no re-importing needed. Your Discogs folders come across as shelves, and your custom fields sync onto every record.

COLLECTORS Vinyl is better shared. Browse the Collectors directory, follow the crates you rate, and explore profiles - covers first. Going public is opt-in, and you choose what's visible.

TASTE MATCH (PRO) See how your crate lines up with any collector: your match %, the records you both own, and the ones you're missing. Sort your followers by match.

COLLECTION REPORT Turn your collection into a polished PDF appraisal: every record with value, condition and photos, plus totals and highlights - ready for insurance or the coffee table. Included with Lifetime, or a one-off purchase. Condition photos export in one batch too.

LISTENING STATS One-tap spin logging: streaks, your most-played artist and record, a yearly heatmap, and total listening time.

VALUE AND ANALYTICS Every record shows an estimated value from Discogs market data, adjusted for condition; your collection total adds up record by record - free. Pro adds Crate DNA, genre and decade heatmaps, pressing countries, and top labels.

GRADING ASSISTANT A step-by-step guide walks you through media and sleeve condition using the Goldmine standard. Add condition photos and regrade over time - the full grading history stays with the record, and your photos join its artwork gallery.

PRESSING DETAILS See who pressed your record, who mastered it, who cut the lacquer - plus vinyl colour and matrix/runout data, and the full Discogs artwork gallery.

GEAR LOG Track every cartridge, needle, and belt swap - with play time estimated from your logged spins, you always know the hours on your stylus.

PLAY & CLEAN HISTORY Log plays and cleans with timestamps - past dates included.

SHARE YOUR COLLECTION A clean, visual page of your collection to send or post.

## Version history (last 5 releases)

### 2.4.1 — 2026-08-26

Two upgrades straight from collector feedback: reinstall a cartridge (or any gear) from your history and it keeps the play time already logged on it, and the new Artist · Year sort files each artist's records in release order - perfect for shelf-style browsing.

Also new: a "how this value is calculated" link on your stats, an FAQ link in Settings, and a batch of stability fixes.

### 2.4.0 — 2026-08-20

Zeig deinen neuesten Fang! Neue Share-Cards machen aus jeder Platte ein schönes Bild für Instagram Stories oder TikTok - Farbe wählen, eigenes Foto nutzen, Notiz dazu, dann teilen oder speichern.

Auch die Plattenkiste wurde kräftig aufgewertet: Blättere mit echtem Schwung durch deine Sammlung, flippe mit einem großen Wisch durch viele Platten und tippe auf Trenner-Tabs zum Springen. Sammlerprofile öffnen jetzt in der Crate-Ansicht mit Trennern und Jump-Button.

Dazu diverse Fixes.

### 2.3.1 — 2026-08-17

Crate view leveled up: tap a divider tab peeking out of the stack to jump straight to it, or use the new Jump button from anywhere in the crate.

Also in this update: a much tougher Discogs sync for large collections (interrupted syncs pick up where the last one left off), compilations now sort properly (Now 2 before Now 10), tag renames and deletes apply instantly with tags listed A-Z, and a round of crash fixes across the app.

### 2.3.0 — 2026-08-12

Select multiple records at once: press and hold to batch tag, untag or remove. Filters grew up too - filter by genre, styles are A-Z, and sections fold away.

Also new: your Discogs folders sync in as shelves, Discogs custom fields appear on each record, search now covers notes, fields and tags, rename your tags, your condition photos join the record gallery, matrix/runout per copy, play-time estimates in the gear log, and a round of stability fixes.

### 2.2.0 — 2026-08-11

The Collection Report is here: a polished PDF appraisal of your whole collection with values, condition and photos - ready for insurance or simply for pride of place on the coffee table. Export your condition photos in one batch too.

Also new: document a record's condition with photos and a full grading history, keep multiple copies of the same pressing, rank your wantlist by priority, sort followers by taste match, estimated values in CSV export, easier tag management and stability fixes.
