## What is NowSpinning?

Drop the needle and NowSpinning does the rest. It recognizes the record you're playing, logs the spin, and keeps listening track by track so every side counts.

HEARS EVERY RECORD
Turn on listening and play a record. NowSpinning identifies it, matches it to the copy on your shelf, and logs the spin on its own. Spin status shows which tracks it heard on each side, and switching to a different pressing takes one tap. While the record plays, it stays on your Lock Screen and in the Dynamic Island.

YOUR COLLECTION, SYNCED
Connect your Discogs account and your collection and wantlist come with you, ready to browse by artist, label, genre, decade, or your own tags. Show records as album art, vinyl discs, or peeking out of their sleeves. The For you lane suggests what to play next from your own shelf, and loved tracks and playlists keep your favorite songs close.

EVERY SPIN COUNTS
Your listening builds into a yearly heatmap, play counts, streaks, and achievements. Insights show your most played albums, artists, and labels, and which records you play all the way through. Vinyl economics adds up what your collection is worth and what you paid for it, and keeps track of the records on their way to you.

COLLECTORS, CONNECTED
See what friends are spinning, share a photo with your own spins, and see what's playing on the map around you. Leave kudos and comments, message other collectors, follow people whose taste you trust, and find what's trending.

SOMETHING TO WATCH
Visualizers turn your screen into a companion for the record: VU meters, Cosmos, lyrics, and more. StandBy keeps now playing on your nightstand.

### 5/5 — A great way to connect with music lovers

*2026-07-17*

I’d been wanting an app like this for a while and here it is. I love the ability to actually see my pressing colors as well as chat and interact with other vinyl and physical music collectors. Music is my favorite way to meet and connect with people and NowSpinning absolutely delivers that.

### 3/5 — Good idea

*2026-06-06*

I buy a fair amount of music off discogs, like the idea of importing my library digitally. App is still a bit glitchy. Some spins don’t log to the community page and the “Shazam” technology periodically freezes. Some aspects of the app don’t fully function. Hoping this gets dialed in, worth the monthly subscription? Yes when they eventually work out all the kinks… music is life!

### 5/5 — Exactly what I was looking for

*2026-05-27*

Discogs apps are a dime a dozen but this one really delivers. Beautiful, functional, and fun to use.

### 5/5 — Good looking apps

*2026-04-25*

Good companion to Discogs. Very nice UI useful function. If the price lower that will attract more subscribers.

### 1.11.9 — 2026-11-04

Bug fixes and improvements.

### 1.11.8 — 2026-11-02

New on Apple Watch: start a spin from your wrist, see what's spinning, and keep your streak on your watch face with new complications and a Smart Stack widget. Records you've opened stay readable offline.

Also in this update:
• Reconnecting Discogs works again on every device, and if it ever can't, the app now tells you why
• Your Discogs draft releases open and get recognized again
• Lists: add, edit, reorder and delete right from the list
• Visualizer: the now-playing card stays clear of the meters on iPad, spins your record, and can hide itself
• The welcome screen no longer slides around on iPad

### 1.11.7 — 2026-11-02

Fixed: playing one song at a time from different records logged nothing, and the bar stayed on your last spin. Every song logs again.

Also in this update:
• Vinyl Economics and the You tab in your home currency
• Record pages compare what you paid with the market in one currency
• Settings > Currency picks the home currency
• "Pick a different album" logs the record you picked, owned or not

### 1.11.5 — 2026-07-28

New: sign in on another device without retyping a thing. Open the app on a new phone, tablet, or computer, then approve it from a device you're already signed in on. Perfect for using your phone's camera to snap tonight's spin while your desk setup keeps listening.

Also in this update:
• When the same track appears on more than one release you own, pick the exact version you're spinning right from the Spin Status sheet.
