I’ve been able to catalog my 750-ish and growing albums. I love that I can create my own storage units, especially since I’ve got them in 3 different rooms in my house. The search function is pretty good, but it sometimes doesn’t find identifiers that I’m looking for, then when I go ahead and manually scan and try to find that version, it’s listed right there in the “Identifiers” section, but didn’t come up in the search. This doesn’t happen happen that often, but it’s annoying when there’s 200 versions of an album and it’s easier to just do the search instead of scan. Also, I don’t think my collection is close to being worth over $20k, but that brings me to my other issue. I wish that there was an option to add grading with estimated value for the grade. The picture on the website even shows a range of values, but the actual app does not. Adding this would be an awesome feature that would make this app complete. ### 5/5 — Wow *2026-06-20, version 1.12.1* This is an amazing App. I have over 500 albums and it’s great that I can get a value on them but the fact that I can actually play them on my phone is fantastic . ### 5/5 — Great Service *2026-06-19, version 1.12.1* This app is so easy to use and I can’t wait to add the rest of my collection in to the app. I find the valuations realistic and not to over the top. It’s a simple app to use and best of all their customer service support was brilliant when I made a mistake on when subscribing. Thank you Artur and the team. May you continue onwards and upwards!! ### 5/5 — Worth every penny *2026-05-16, version 1.11.2* Great app great customer service. Between the scanner of both formats & export feature app delivers! ### 5/5 — Good App *2026-05-12, version 1.11.2* Using this app has allowed me to finally catalog my CD collection. It’s quite handy. On occasion it has trouble identifying a CD using the scanning methods, but usually a manual search does the trick. I had one issue, caused by getting a new phone, and when I reached out to the developers they responded immediately and corrected the issue. On a weekend, no less. Highly recommended. ### 5/5 — Top of the Tier *2026-05-08, version 1.11.2* This Record Scanner app I have downloaded for my iPhone and my iPad. My mom has an old trunk of vinyl she has protected with her life and I finally got her to let me open it and organize, place in plastic sleeves, catalog the collection. I know it’s in the hundreds, so far after scanning 111 12 inch I have not had a single error, like I had with the other junk snap apps available. If you want to catalog your collection, transfer it to a doc or csv file or spreadsheet, this is the app you’re looking for, A+++++ highly recommended! ### 5/5 — Super super *2026-04-25* Superbe application et surtout réactivité immédiate de la team si vous aviez des questions sur des améliorations ou autres choses. J’achète sans réfléchir cette appli qui est certainement la meilleure de toutes. Bravo a l’équipe et aux développeurs. Bravo et chapeau bas. ### 5/5 — Fantastic app *2026-04-25, version 1.10.4* The technology on this app is amazing. A simple picture or a code from the sleeve and the details come up so quickly . Absolutely great for checking value and details of your favourite records . It’s really entertaining to check and store your collection ### 5/5 — Huge timesaver *2026-04-19, version 1.10.4* I’ve finally gotten around to cataloging my record collection and this app has really accelerated the process. I love the ability to scan by barcode or catalog id stamped on the record. Scanning album covers also work, but I find this method to be hit-or-miss, particularly when the album art is abstract. Organic searching with text is impressively accurate. The graphical layout of my collection is nice and the estimated value feature incentivizes me to keep scanning. As a bonus, the developer is extremely responsive over email and receptive to my feedback. ### 5/5 — Easy & Pfiffig *2026-04-12* Klasse App - in kurzer Zeit große Sammlung per barcode oder Coverscan gelistet! Hohe Treffsicherheit bei den Preisen! Schneller und super freundlicher Kontakt / Service. Jahresabo ist den Preis allemal wert! ### 5/5 — Easy to use *2026-04-09, version 1.10.4* Got my collections up and sorted really quickly. Love the cover scan function. ### 5/5 — Cool *2026-04-05, version 1.10.4* Awaome ### 5/5 — Well worth every penny! *2026-03-23, version 1.10.4* We inherited my father-in-laws album collection consisting of about 2400 LPs and 2000 45s. Rather than just sell them all of cheap we used this app to catalog and value them, which allowed us to identify numerous rare and misprint records that we were then able to sell for the actual value rather than a few bucks at an estate sale. It definitely took some time to catalog them but it has been well worth it. Our biggest surprise so far has been an Elvis 45 with a title misprint that sold for just over $200. We never would have been able to accomplish this without the app! ### 5/5 — Limited access *2026-03-13, version 1.10.4* Works great until you hit 30 scans then you must pay subscription. Trying to keep records in order requires an the subscription also only bad thing ### 5/5 — Top class *2026-02-11, version 1.10.1* Easy app to use, great app support. So important to be able to ascertain true value of my vinyl collection. ### 5/5 — Great functions *2026-02-04, version 1.10.1* This app is easy and intuitive and some great functionality. Really good value ### 5/5 — Vintage lover *2026-02-04, version 1.10.1* wow!! This app is life changing. It’s made cataloging my album collection into a fun pastime. You scan and get to see the value of your hard work collecting in actual #’s. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Only for collections of 30 or less *2026-03-20, version 1.10.4* They do not tell you that you can only scan 30 records before they want to charge a fee. Complete waste of time. If you want to just have a catalog of your records, I would suggest an excel spread sheet. If you are interested in selling, then Discogs is much better even though the interface is horrible. ### 1/5 — Spotifyで聴けない *2026-02-22* リンクがおかしいのかpotifyで聴けない なんとかして欲しい ### 1/5 — Don’t bother *2026-01-02, version 1.9.1* Just downloaded this app, scanned an early copy of The Beatles White Album; four attempts all of them wrong. ### 1/5 — It wants your money *2025-08-19, version 1.8.17* I catalogued what felt like 50 records and was enjoying the app immensely, then a screen popped up saying I had to pay for a plan. £34.99 for the year etc. if you want to do that, fine, but I couldn’t see anything that declared a subscription was involved in order to use the app. Five stars for the app, just not the subterfuge. ### 1/5 — Terrible *2025-07-14, version 1.8.6* Just plain terrible ### 1/5 — No more subscription apps *2025-05-30, version 1.8.6* Tired of every app requiring some kind of monthly or yearly commitment. ### 1/5 — Payant à partir de 30 vinyles *2025-03-23* Bonne appli mais pourrait prévenir à l’installation de l’appli qu’à partir de 30 vinyles il y’a obligation de s’abonner avec paiement mensuel, trimestriel ou annuel… Je n’ai rien contre le fait de rétribuer les développeurs bien au contraire mais le minimum est de prévenir au début. ### 1/5 — Doesn’t find records *2023-06-20* Scanning 45s that don’t have the original sleeve, it won’t find them and returns the wrong artist/song title in the search results. You’d think it could read the text off the label of the record ### 1/5 — It is in no way accurate when it gives prices for the record so that’s a drag. *2022-08-25, version 1.0.20* It is good for storing your records. It is in no way accurate when it gives prices for the record so that’s a drag. ### 2/5 — Looks good but…. *2026-07-20, version 1.12.2* Looks to have some great features but you cannot import from other apps or excel. Therefore having a large collection and having to rescan everything was for me. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Vinyl scanner *2026-08-03, version 1.12.3* Brilliant record scanner ### 5/5 — Records *2026-08-02, version 1.12.3* Great service ### 5/5 — Best ever *2026-07-28, version 1.12.3* super helpful dinding records ### 5/5 — Top music catalog app *2026-07-20, version 1.12.2* Brilliant so, tried the free version first and it was so good I have subscribed. It collects the value of an Item from discogs and also online auction sites, also you can put in your own value if you think it’s worth more. ### 5/5 — Subscription cancellation *2026-07-12, version 1.12.2* Trying to cancel after trial as only needed for a short time couldn’t find anything in RC app sent message and received instant reply advising I needed to cancel through my Apple app which I did. App is easy to use and really good an simple can load heaps of records definitely worth using and if I was keeping my vinyls would do the yearly subscription as very reasonably priced 😊👍 ### 5/5 — Super ! *2026-07-08* Superbe ### 5/5 — Record scanning value *2026-07-07, version 1.12.2* Very useful for rough estimates ### 5/5 — Never knew *2026-07-03, version 1.12.2* I’ve been collecting vinyl for 20 years. I knew I had a pretty extensive collection but when I scanned Mississippi John hurt today found out it was $80. I was surprised shows where you can sell the final seems like a pretty good app. I appreciate y’all. ### 5/5 — Solid *2026-06-30, version 1.12.1* While scrolling through all of the available pressings can be tedious at times, this is a great, easy to use app to catalog your collection- ### 5/5 — please add support for iOS 26 clear icons!! *2026-06-29* app is cool, every time i buy new record&cd i add it to this app but one year later please add support for clear icons!! --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
