Big error!!!

I had about 500 records on the Wax app on my iPhone. I installed it on my iPad and turned on iCloud sync, and my entire collection disappeared!!! How do I get it back? Bot sure this has been corrected before going back and trying this again. Luckily, I have since learned that my iPad still is the collection, so I have kept it offline so that it does not update.

Response from developer

Hi Franco! Sorry for the issue with upgrades. It should be fixed now!

Amazing app for record collectors

Also the developer is very handsome.

Wac

So far it kinda works, it left a lot of titles off when I uploaded my collection from Discogs and seems to confuse artists such as howling wolf became howling wolf’s band. Doesn’t seem to be anyway to print out the collection so it looks like I’ll need to re list the whole collection rather then have a list to check entries off. Also no support seems to be available but I could of missed a link.

Great app

Easy interface

Very disappointed

I have a large record collection and I want to organize them to track what I own. I read all the reviews and was excited......but soon discovered a disorganized convoluted system nearly impossible to navigate. I spent twenty minutes looking for US releases of Springsteen.........couldn’t find them. Same with Billy Joel, Zeppelin is a hodge podge. Feels like a site dedicated to people who like to show off their imports, not organize their collection so they don’t buy “Live at Leads” on accident again....might be useful to divide releases by country within artist, or maybe I just never found out how to do this. Anyway.....

Crashes when tipping

I tried to leave a tip but the app kept crashing on purchase, so I guess I’ll leave this review instead. I otherwise love the design and functionality, although an iPadOS app would be nice. ☺️

Good concept

If you are using discogs as your primary catalog, this app is no good. Each time you import, it brings in all albums again. So it doubles, triples, etc. the look and feel is great, but definitely need improvement.

Uggghh

Constantly spins busy while scanning bar codes the first few times. Have to close out of app and try two or three times. Can't find bar codes a lot of the time. No way to fast scroll through collection...should have a letter tab at top to quickly go there.

Sharp Looking App!

The app looks really good, love the interface and usability. My only gripe is the search function. There is no way, that I’ve found, to filter down the search. Try to sort through to find your pressing of a Beatles or Zeppelin album! Need some sort of function to be able to filter the results down! Otherwise great app. I love the Crates idea and the random album feature!

Useless

I have catalogized my whole collection in Discogs, this app is useless for me because the Discogs import does not work at all (and yes, I have set my collection to „public“).

Pretty but a bit pointless

The app design is nice, arguably superior to Discogs, but the app itself doesn’t solve any problems that Discogs hasn’t already. It has crashed a number of times for me and when I imported my Discogs collection, it failed to import 51 records but didn’t tell me why or which records weren’t imported. I tried to import a second time to fix this, and now half of my collection is duplicated.

There is also no continuous sync with Discogs. Since I would never abandon Discogs, keeping two apps that duplicate each other, one of which is quite buggy, doesn’t make any sense.

Everything I was looking for

I had been looking for a way to keep track of my collection, by name and with pictures, but had previously come up blank. Wax does all of this, including filling in all of the info if you search for your disc; and you can search by album title, catalog number, and more. Seriously love this app ❤️

Essential for music collectors

I’ve looked for a app to digitally categorize all of my CD’s, records, and cassette and this app goes above and beyond that. With so much customization options and an easy to use UI, I would definitely recommend this to everyone looking to organize their library

So far so good!

I’ve only been using the app for a few minutes but one thing I noticed after importing my collection from discogs is that Wax automatically applies the 7” tag to vinyl that’s listed under 45rpm, when these are actually 12” records. I’d like to see a separate designation for rpm and record size if possible! Otherwise everything seems great so far!

Response from developer

Hi there! You can indeed change it in the dropdown for "Format", but I'll check out why it's doing that automatically.

Easy to use, solid app

Overall a great cataloguing app, I like that the album art is automatically downloaded and it’s quick and simple to add albums.

The one feature I’d love to see is the ability to search all songs/artists on the albums. Currently you can’t search for individual songs or artists on the albums. This would be a nice feature especially for compilation albums.

Response from developer

Hi there, thank you for the suggestion! I've added it to the backlog.

Totally Awesome!!!

I love this app so much! It’s simple to use and I have no problems with it! I think that it is perfect for organizing your records! Everyone who has a record collection need to absolutely download this ASAP!

A valuable tool for vinyl collections

I’m finding the app easy to use and outstanding at finding every obscure version and edition that has ever been published. I’m also happy to know I can add my own entries for the real oddballs. My first wish for improvement is being able to browse my collection on my iPad. Someday? Secondly, after a search and after looking through the “thumbnails,” I may choose a version that turns out to not be an exact match. When I close that choice, I have to go all the way back and start my search all over again.

Response from developer

Hi there, I'm glad you're enjoying wax! That bug that you mentioned seems to affect a few other people too, and I'm working on tracking it down. EDIT (Jan 20, 2018) That bug you mentioned should be fixed up in 2.0. Thanks again!

Love it.

Great and simple UI for keeping track of my vinyl collection. Would love it if I can somehow export my collection list or sync with Discogs.

Response from developer

Hi there, you can indeed export your collection list (in Settings), but wax does not, and likely will never, sync with Discogs.

Great way to keep track of my vinyl collection

I have an extensive vinyl collection and am always shopping for new records. I also have a terrible memory and a tendency to buy doubles. With Wax, this will no longer be an issue. I now have access to every record I own, so if I'm not sure if I already own something, I can pull out my phone and check the list on this app. Highly recommended for the casual or advanced collector!

Great app for my personal collection

This easy-to-use app is perfect for cataloging my record collection. I love being able to organize and annotate my albums the way I want to - highly recommended.
