Your pocket vinyl catalog, with the soul of a record shop. Point your camera at a cover and let AI do the rest: Flipside recognizes the record and fills in the title, artist, year, high-resolution artwork and tracklist. Your collection stays organized, beautiful and synced through your iCloud. No spreadsheets, no typing everything by hand. And now Flipside goes beyond the catalog: you compare, discover and show off your collection. NEW: SINTONIA How well does your taste match a friend's? Swap a 4-digit code and see the sintonia ("in tune" in Portuguese) between your two collections: your match percentage, the records you both own and what one of you has that the other is hunting for. Only the result is shown. Your collection stays yours. NEW: YOUR COLLECTION BECOMES A STORY A 9-second video flipping through your records, ready for Instagram in one tap. It works for your Sintonia result too. NEW: A SUGGESTED RECORD EVERY DAY The Radar picks a daily suggestion based on your collection and tells you why. Like it? Save it to the Radar. Not your thing? Pass. A great excuse for your next trip to a record fair or a record store. SMART SCANNER, EVEN BETTER Frame the cover and Flipside finds and crops the record on its own, snaps the photo when the cover holds still and identifies the album in seconds. No record at hand? Pick the cover photo from your library. A rare pressing the catalog doesn't know? Your photo becomes the cover in your collection. EVERYTHING ABOUT THE RECORD, WITHOUT LEAVING YOUR COLLECTION ⢠Detailed album and artist information ⢠Full tracklists with Apple Music audio previews ⢠Artist discography and a translated biography ⢠Universal search by album, artist or band ⢠Camera Control (Visual Intelligence): point at a cover in a store and jump straight to the album in Flipside YOUR COLLECTION, YOUR WAY ⢠Immersive or List view, you choose how to flip through ⢠"On the Radar": a wish list for digging at fairs and record stores ⢠A profile with stats about your physical collection ⢠Automatic iCloud sync BUILT FOR EVERY SCREEN iPhone, iPad and iPhone Duo.
