Great Travel Buddy!

I like this app a lot! I always use this when I travel to see what record stores are in whatever city I happen to be in. When talking with other music nerds I always mention this as indispensable.

Good but not great

I do like the app for finding record stores near you.
Problem I find is that you can not set a location to find stores near. I have been doing some traveling and day trips. I would like to be able to before my trip out in a location, find the stores near there and then plan my trip accordingly but instead I have to drive to the town and then open the app to find the stores.

Would also be nice if u could put in a start and end location and have the app show u all the stores along the route

Helpful site

I have used this when traveling and it is good overall.When I was going through Portland one of the two had moved locations .I found Holy Cow records in Seattle using the app.Overall it is very useful and I would recommend it.

Good, not great

It’s a good app. Convenient to find record stores in the vicinity of your current location. The biggest improvement needs to be a search function. So you can plan to visit locations outside of your current area. Research stores in cities where you might be headed in the future.
