The search function mentioned in description does not function. Every time I’ve tried to access the help feature, the app crashes. No money lost, only my time. **Developer response:** Hi Alan, thanks for your feedback. I'm sad to hear you have issues with the search. Would you mind sending some examples to vinylapp@protonmail.com?  I'll definitely take a look and fix it. Regards, Ivan ### 1/5 — Data processing is wrong *2020-09-21* First time I used the app I scanned the barcode on my album and a different album popped up as a result, I do not want or trust this app and I’m deleting it right now! ### 3/5 — Pictures *2024-08-25* I really like this app. My one and only problem is that when searching my collection the album cover pictures don't come up always. Wish could fix that. Oh sorry, another one is i have a album in my collection and when i hit on it the “are you sure your scanning the right bar code “comes up. Its already scanned in my collection. ### 3/5 — Can’t see the letters *2020-07-17* When I scan on the barcode and it gives me info I can barely see the letters **Developer response:** Hi Mischa, thanks for the review and the comment. I'm sorry I didn't update the app for a while now, but from what I can read, seems like you're using dark mode on your phone. I'm happy to say that a new version of Vinyl with full dark mode support is just behind the corner! Please try it out and let me know if it works well. Regards, Ivan ### 4/5 — Handy app *2020-09-28, version 2.1.0* Really nice little app that I use quite regularly. It’s linked to Discogs so I trust it. I think it would be really cool if you could have the option of logging what you scan. So that you know how much your collection is and can browse digitally. This seems to just be a bargain hunters tool, which is also good. ### 5/5 — My snatch *2022-07-09* My snatch is crispy and happy! This app has made my snatch happy happy happy!! ### 5/5 — Scans better than Discogs! *2022-03-15* Super clean and straightforward design. And this barcode scanner is better than the Discogs app, which in my experience often returns multiple pressings from a scan. Vinyl app is more precise so far. ### 5/5 — nice *2022-02-23* foes the job, nice user experience and slick design ## Most praised reviews (3 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Great!! *2020-06-19* I loved this app it was so easy finding the artist of for the records! I will highly recommend again to a friend. **Developer response:** Thank you. I'm glad you like it! ### 5/5 — Simple and easy to use *2020-05-03, version 2.1.0* This is a great little app.. I’m not sure what database it uses but there’s not been many records it’a failed to find in my collection yet.. it also has a handy link to Discogs so you can use that to add the record to an on line collection. I used to manually input all my collection in a book and now in the process of using this app to add them all to Discogs instead. ### 5/5 — Perfect *2019-04-17* Simple, clear, and elegant user interface. Love that it’s focused and not cluttered with useless features. I would, however, love the ability to catalogue my collection. The built in barcode scanner would make that process super easy. **Developer response:** Thanks for the feedback! I get this request a lot lately and I'm exploring how I could add catalogue without cluttering the app. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
