### 5/5 — Very Cool App

*2026-08-11, version 1.6.0*

I have an extensive vinyl album collection and this app has allowed me to catalog all of my LPs and also calculates an estimated replacement value which I am using to provide to my insurance company for a replacement policy. Thx!

### 1/5 — Needs work

*2026-08-09, version 1.6.0*

Still needs more time to go through more generations and fixes because it’s just not accurate!

### 5/5 — Useful app for record collectors

*2026-08-09, version 1.6.0*

Very useful app when buying records,  take photo get release date details and a suggested value.

### 1/5 — Multiple misses, skip it and check discogs

*2026-08-09, version 1.6.0*

Wrong releases found, prices weren’t even close to actual sales prices on other sites.
Have lots of rare and oop records and it hasn’t been good with those.
I was hoping this app would read the inside etching on the record to truly determine the release, but it’s just looking at the image which can be the same across multiple pressings.

### 2/5 — Guter Ansatz, aber…

*2026-08-08*

…ohne Verknüpfung zu einem Verkaufsportal brotlose Kunst☝️

**Developer response:** Hallo wpknorr, vielen Dank für dein Feedback! Wir freuen uns, dass dir der Ansatz gefällt, und nehmen deinen Wunsch nach einer Verknüpfung zu Verkaufsportalen gerne als Anregung für zukünftige Updates auf. Deine Ideen helfen uns, VinylSnap stetig zu verbessern. Bitte sende uns weitere Details dazu an support@vinylsnap.com, damit wir dein Anliegen direkt prüfen können.

### 2/5 — 無料ではないので

*2026-08-07*

ほんとに認識してくれてるのか怪しい場合がほとんど。もっと学習を積んでほしい。有料なんだし。

**Developer response:** alechil様、この度はご期待に沿えず申し訳ございません。認識精度を向上させるために、明るい場所でレコードを平らな面に置き、ラベル全体が枠内に収まるようデバイスを固定して撮影をお試しください。もし改善されない場合は、詳細を調査いたしますので、レコードのラベル写真と認識結果を support@vinylsnap.com までお送りいただけますと幸いです。より正確な体験をお届けできるよう改善に努めてまいります。

### 1/5 — GIVES 2 INACCURATE PRICES

*2026-08-07, version 1.6.0*

Scan an item two different times and got 2 different prices. One is 85 and one is 20. Very far off.

### 5/5 — brilliant product

*2026-08-06, version 1.6.0*

brilliant product

### 3/5 — Good concept poor execution

*2026-08-05*

I paid 29$ for this app. Tho the idea is convenient it’s not accurate I’ll scan the same item 2 times and the price is different each time. Sometimes I scanned Chicago album but it comes up the Beatles.  Even tho it says Chicago in big letters. App needs to improve if not i want my money back.

**Developer response:** Hi Almnkh, we are sorry to hear about these recognition and valuation issues. For better accuracy, please ensure good lighting and hold your device steady over a flat label. While market prices can fluctuate, we strive to provide reliable data. Please send photos of the misidentified records to support@vinylsnap.com so we can investigate.

### 4/5 — Interessante

*2026-08-03*

Deveria ter opção para impressão de relatório com o conteúdo registrado, além de incluir as capas dos discos. Preços meio defasados em relação aos cobrados em muitas lojas, tanto nos sebos, como nas demais. Como exemplo: comprei numa Fnac de Lisboa o disco duplo “Remembering Now - Van Morrison”, paguei €35 e o APP avaliou um valor máximo de US$25.20 !
