Best Vinyl App
Response from developer
Hi Clinterific, thank you for such a detailed review! It means a lot that the UI won you over, and I’m glad your Discogs import went smoothly. Tracking what you paid against what a record is worth now is one of my favorite parts of being a collector, so I’m happy it’s useful for you too. The live lyrics were a fun addition, and keeping Needl ad-free is something I care about, so thank you for noticing. I’m also thrilled it looks great on your iPhone Duo, especially so soon after launch! Enjoy the collection, and please reach out anytime if there’s something you’d like to see next! 🖤
The Absolute Best Media Collector App PERIOD!!!
Response from developer
Wow, thank you! After trying plenty of other vinyl apps, hearing that Needl came out on top for you is the best feedback I could ask for. I built it for collectors like you, so reviews like this mean the world, and your recommendation to just get it might be the best pitch I’ve ever had! Enjoy every spin! 🙌
Stunning app
Response from developer
Thank you so much for coming back to update your review, sbaugh! Fixing the iPad issues was important to me, so I’m really glad it’s where it should be, and your feedback is what pushed me to get it right. I’m excited for you to try Needl on your Duo. A lot of thought went into the design, and some fun new ideas and interactions are coming. If you have any feedback or ideas, just let me know directly in the app. I’m excited to keep building this, and kind words like “a joy to use” keep me going as a solo developer. 🙏
The intent is great

Hi idandfei, thank you for such honest, thoughtful feedback, and for supporting Needl with a subscription. You're right: lyrics were hit or miss, and a line hanging on until the next one is exactly the kind of thing that shouldn't happen, especially when you subscribed for them. Your feedback pushed me to rebuild Live Lyrics from the ground up. They now follow the singer through every line, pause, and outro, and if the timing is still a little off, Needl can listen to the room and suggest a better offset. Please update to the latest version from the App Store and give it another listen. I'd love to know what you think. I want you to get what you paid for, so if any songs still aren't right, I'll keep working on it until they are. I also hear you on priorities, and visualizers are something I'm happy to keep building. The best way to share ideas is to email me from the app, or you can find me on Reddit. If the lyrics are working better for you, I'd be grateful for the chance to earn a higher rating. Either way, thank you for helping make Needl better.
