User reviews

Great potential…

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.

Thank you!

Notes on Labels?

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?

Response from developer

notes feature has been added. available on 2.4" roll DJ labels and seller labels. more label types supported soon.

Great app!

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.

App works really well and is a great way to sample tracks, even when looking for more obscure albums. Nice work on this one!
