This app is pretty powerful but lacks customisation when it comes to printing (formatting and font size). E.g. the best layout is the 2,4” one for a wide range of label printers, the downside here is the low durability of the widely used thermal printing methods. A thermal printing label is sensitive to temperature and sunlight and won’t last much longer than a year. There are other printers out there with much sturdier printing media but with less width (e.g. Brother PT-Series). Being able to get more information on a label simply by adjusting the layout and fontsize would be highly appreciated. **Developer response:** both formatting and font size can be adjusted using the Label Designer and adjusting font size at the print preview. i have thermal labels i have printed that are 5+ years old. if you have any questions, please reach out to me via DM at @labelmateapp on IG, id be happy to answer them. ### 5/5 — Simply Amazing *2026-09-13* I'm shocked a tool like this wasn't around yet. Great functionality and constant updates from a dev that cares. **Developer response:** thanks Pablo! more coming soon! ### 5/5 — Amazing *2026-09-06* This app is the best thing since sliced bread **Developer response:** !!! ### 4/5 — Having trouble connecting to printer *2026-09-04* Now the app is saying to connect to print hub but the app is called print master now ?? It’s not allowing me to print from label mate app to phomemo 110 **Developer response:** Print Master is phomemo's proprietary software. you can connect with the m110 via the printer setup in the print hub menu. feel free to reach out to @labelmateapp on IG or @yeahdef on threads and I'll walk you through it. ### 5/5 — Game changer *2026-09-01* Best app for vinyl cataloging and discogs management out there. Super robust label creation features and so easy to use + perfect Discogs collection/inventory integration. A must have if you buy or sell or DJ w vinyl! **Developer response:** thanks much! ### 5/5 — Cool App, Great Customer Service *2026-08-26* I really love the idea of this app. The fact that it will not only generate a label for you based off a scan of your record, but then also add that record to your discogs collection is a huge convenience and time saver. When I first got the app there was a bug that wouldn’t allow me to print a 4 track label with the printer I had, I reached out to the developer who replied to me almost instantly, chatted with me for a bit to try and get it to work and when it wouldn’t, he had fixed the big in an update within a few days. Big ups 💛 **Developer response:** Thanks for the review Dylan, glad I could fix that bug for you! ### 4/5 — Great potential… *2026-08-20* The app does a remarkably good job at identifying records. I was surprised at how well it identified rare & unofficial releases. And the ability to manually put in information is really useful too. This has amazing potential for record digging, selling, and library organization. The challenge this app has is that it’s incredible at amassing a big data library of titles and information, but it lacks flexible tools that would allow you to use that information, from storage, and export to design and print formats. Once that part gets solved, I don’t see why this app wouldn’t be as standard as a the 1200 or M-447. **Developer response:** Appreciate the feedback. Always working to improve! Feel free to DM the IG account and we can talk over your ideas - BTW the latest update allows users to make custom label layouts :-) ### 5/5 — The Best Vinyl App *2026-08-12* If you’re serious about vinyl this is the app you need to **Developer response:** Thank you! ### 4/5 — Notes on Labels? *2026-07-06* Great concepts, doesn’t work on all of my records but pretty decent. How can i add notes on the labels? I can see it on the print but cant add my own notes? **Developer response:** notes feature has been added. available on 2.4" roll DJ labels and seller labels. more label types supported soon. ### 5/5 — Great app! *2026-07-05* I really want to be able to save the sticker in the form of a picture in the photo gallery. And you need the ability to manually select font sizes and horizontal orientation and manually enter names and BPM Now, when printing through the Nimboot printer, the image is dull, because the letters are very small. **Developer response:** Good feedback. Will work on save label to photo gallery feature. ## Frequently asked questions about Label Mate ### Does Label Mate have ads?

CIRCLE LABELS. A new label type that prints a replacement center label and its DJ strip together on one ordinary 4x6 shipping label.

It comes in three sizes: 7" with the large jukebox hole, 7" with the small spindle hole, and 12", which lists the tracks you want to feature. Pick the side and the speed, and a cue mark at the top you can line up with the first downbeat.

Changed: - Tap LIGHT for a steady light; it stays on until you tap it again. The strobe stops by itself after 10 seconds. Fixed: - Crates could come up empty after updating the app. - A slow match could start playing over the record you scanned next. - Switching tracks quickly could leave the wrong one playing. - Being offline now says so, instead of reporting no match. - Coming back from Edit design keeps the label size and edits you had. - Label Designer keeps your last change when you leave right after it. - The print sheet no longer freezes when switching from Sticker to DJ. - Messages like "Added to collection" show above the sheet they answer. - Deleting a crate asks first. - VoiceOver can read and adjust the pitch fader. ### 1.9.8 — 2026-10-13 - PRINT STRAIGHT FROM YOUR COLLECTION AGAIN. I heard your feedback! Every record in your Discogs collection and wantlist has a print button again, so you can go straight to a label without opening the player first. apologies, i thought i was streamlining, but i broke some workflows. - Fixed: after scanning a label, Print and Details in the player sometimes ignored taps until you closed the player and opened it again. - The Munbyn FM226 is now in Recommended Gear, with the label rolls that fit it. ### 1.9.7 — 2026-10-10 NEW • Munbyn FM226 support: print labels and receipts over Bluetooth, alongside the Phomemo printers. • Label Designer v2: tap a field to add it, undo and redo, and a card that shows which built-in label your design replaces. New type options (weight, all caps, kerning to fit) and a spread tracklist layout. Switch between the default label and your design right on the print screen. preview the design with a random record from your collection. • Vibes are now six groups (Energy, Dancefloor, Lead, Set time, Keeper, Reference), plus a separate clean/explicit mark that prints on the label. long press to switch emoji, tap to add. • History and collection rows now look and work like scan results, with track previews, and price lookup, for a more consistent design. • Report a Printer Problem: send us what your printer said, from the Bluetooth Printer screen. You see exactly what is sent first. • One-time tips for gestures that were easy to miss, like swiping up on the cover for the pitch fader. IMPROVED • Closing the player returns you to where you were in your collection. • Pull down in the collection to re-sync from Discogs. A green dot marks records in your active crate. • Label scans are slightly faster, especially on labels with a lot of text. • 45 Art sheets reach the printer much faster. • Print sheets open on the last label size you printed, always. • Seller tags print the sleeve grade next to the media grade. • Larger text sizes are supported throughout the app. FIXED • Phomemo M220: a 70×80mm label could print in pieces across several labels, in certain scenarios. • A crash when pressing SCAN while a history replay was still loading. • Records whose label spells out a name the catalog number abbreviates now match. • Auto-add no longer prefers a test pressing over the retail copy. • Printer badges on the label size list no longer get cut off. ### 1.9.6 — 2026-09-20 • Sheet labels. Use a sheet of blank label paper and an ordinary laser printer: print any fixed-shape label in the app, several to a page, with cut marks to follow. US Letter or A4. You no longer need the printer it a label size was exclusively authored for: the 50x80mm two-track DJ label is no longer only for M110 owners, for example. • Color, for the first time on DJ labels. Incl. arbitrarily placeable colored dots in seven shapes for mood-marking • Your own label size. Drag a label by its corner against a grid. For the first time, you decide the exact dimensions of a label. • On the 2.4" roll, each section is a height in millimetres instead of a share of a page with no end, so making one band taller no longer shrinks the others. • Crates hold 100 records, up from 50, so a crate can fill a sheet. • Holding the price arrow takes about a second and a half to go from $5 to $80, instead of eleven. • Densely filled text 45 labels resolve more accurately • Faster scanning: several kinds of redundant per-scan work removed. ## Apps similar to Label Mate | App | Rating | Price | Category | | --- | --- | --- | --- | | [Vinyl X: Record Value Scanner](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/vinyl-x-record-value-scanner/id6752253711) | 2.0 (8) | Free | Reference | | [VinylSnap: Scan & Value Record](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/vinylsnap-scan-and-value-record/id6748595105) | 4.7 (3,600) | Free | Reference | | [VinylWorth-Vinyl Record & Scan](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/vinylworth-vinyl-record-and-scan/id6757348036) | 4.7 (637) | Free | Reference | | [iCollect Movies: DVD Tracker](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/icollect-movies-dvd-tracker/id476461999) | 4.6 (8,151) | Free | Reference | | [Dust - a guide for burners](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/dust-a-guide-for-burners/id6456943178) | 4.9 (542) | Free | Reference | ## More apps by Joseph Liechty - [Magic Wrist](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/magic-wrist/id6758743219) - [Cauldron: Token Printer](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/cauldron-token-printer/id6799283540) All apps by Joseph Liechty: https://appshunter.io/developer/1874765626 --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
