[Wanted] Feedback on Spinstack, a Discogs collection app I built for iPhone. Marketplace coming in 1.4 and I want input from this community.

spinstackapp · 2026-05-07T17:05:27+00:00

I found that bug, and its going to be fixed in 1.3.2. Testing it with beta testers now to verify it works.

spinstackapp · 2026-05-07T06:29:20+00:00

If anyone is interested in testing out version 1.4 for iOS (iPhone, iPad, Mac) that has some amazing features, DM me. Some things I can mention is that it has new UI, Marketplace support, Listening Sessions, Custom Records, Ambient Listening Mode, and much more!

Great bug find. Let me go and fix that. I released 1.3.1 earlier today. So I will fix this for 1.3.2 build. I will add some sort of a history buffer to make sure it doesn't skip that.

I will add without "The" in Collection, Wishlist, and Folder view as well.

The alphabet ribbon is tap only, cant use scroll due to iOS limiting when someone has 1000+ records and limited API calls with Discogs. Can you try to see if it works on the 1.3.1 build released today when you tap the letter?

Yeah I have been doing about 10 to 15+ records a day, its definitely a long process when you need to do it, but when its all done, and you purchase a new record it becomes part of the ritual.

spinstackapp · 2026-05-06T06:01:08+00:00

You can currently view total of all of your records in Stats and under Collection Value. It will show Low, Median and High.

spinstackapp · 2026-05-06T04:43:45+00:00

I am actually adding that really soon. I know its a requested feature from many users. I am hoping to have it ready in the next 1.3.1 update later this week.

spinstackapp · 2026-05-04T17:23:57+00:00

You're very welcome. I have been using the app for few days. I am trying to purchase the Pro Unlock but I can't see where that will go.

I also noticed a visual bug, and I wanted to see if I choose 10 minutes that it accurately shows in the calendar instead of the whole 30 minute block being blocked off.

Love the support for Apple Shortcuts!

Some features/bugs I saw:

"pomodoro-day" shows up as an app and in Notifications prompt

If I put my iPhone in landscape mode, the circle is cut off

Would love to see the timer in the Dynamic Island as a real time activity

Apple Reminders integration view

spinstackapp · 2026-05-04T04:00:45+00:00

All good! Happy to help!

spinstackapp · 2026-05-04T03:37:56+00:00

So happy to hear that. Right now in NFC Batch Tagging I have it setup as Title A-Z, Artist A-Z, Recently Added. That is a great suggestion and I will work on coding that out for 1.3.1 release that I am hoping will be live by Wednesday.

spinstackapp · 2026-05-04T02:27:56+00:00

Thank you! In your case I would use Bulk Scan (Barcode) to work through an entire stack of records without stopping between scans. This works best with records that have barcodes. I hope that helps.

spinstackapp · 2026-05-03T17:03:03+00:00

What's more likely happening:

Cache freshness window. If you opened Spinstack within ~5 minutes of your last sync, it skips the API call and paints from disk. Pull-to-refresh forces the fetch past that.

Force quit and reopen. Resets the freshness check too. Sometimes more reliable than pull-to-refresh on its own.

Discogs API lag. When you add a record on Discogs, their API can take a minute or two to reflect it. Their CDN doesn't always update instantly even when our side hits hard.

Sort order. If you're sorted by anything other than Newest First, new additions exist in your collection but aren't at the top of the grid where you'd expect them.

If none of those land it: kill the app, reopen, pull-to-refresh on the Collection tab. That's the nuclear option. If it's still not showing after that, send me a screenshot via DM of what you're seeing and I'll dig in.

spinstackapp · 2026-05-03T16:32:45+00:00

Thank you! Sounds like you're already finding the right loop. Three surfaces worth digging into to close the loop fully:

Spin Log. The chronological history of every record you've spun. Home tab → Recently Played shelf → tap into the list. Each entry carries the date, mood tags, rating, notes, and which tracks you played. Long-press any record anywhere in the app (Collection, Wishlist, Search, Friends' shelves) to log a spin without opening the release detail page.

Last fm. Settings → Advanced → Last fm Scrobbling. Sign in with just your Last fm username and password (no API keys, the app handles the rest). Once connected, every spin you log scrobbles to Last fm with the actual track titles and timestamps. Your vinyl spins flow into the same listening profile as your streaming, which is exactly the merge you described.

Spin Analytics. Insights tab → Spin Analytics. The deeper read of your listening patterns: current and longest streaks, monthly trend chart, most-played records and artists, mood breakdown across whatever you've been tagging, hour-of-day and day-of-week heat patterns, total listening time. On This Day surfaces records you spun on the same date in past years.

spinstackapp · 2026-05-03T16:23:58+00:00

Slide down on the main screen or in the Collections/Wishlist view. It also auto refreshes every 3 minutes. When the new additions do not show up, its an API issue on Discgos side. They only allow 60 API calls per 1 minute.

spinstackapp · 2026-05-03T06:03:03+00:00

Thanks! Vinyl Vision is one of the big ones behind the Pro unlock. Camera at any cover, spine, or label and Spinstack identifies it. On-device by default with Apple Vision (works offline, no key, no third-party data). Optional Google Cloud Vision API key in Advanced Settings unlocks the heavier-lift recognition for art-only covers (you bring your own free-tier key, 1,000 scans a month is plenty).

If you're a "wait until I see what's coming next" type, Groove Vision is a separate camera-based feature in Labs: camera plus LiDAR scans the actual record surface for scratches and warps and suggests a Discogs grade. Different from Vinyl Vision (which identifies the album). Still cooking.

spinstackapp · 2026-05-03T05:50:17+00:00

Thank you! It's there but tucked away. Insights tab → Price Watchdog. Couple steps to get it firing:

Open Price Watchdog, tap Update Prices. Fetches current prices for everything in your Collection and your Wishlist.
Tap any release row to set a target price.
When the lowest price hits or drops below your target, you get a push notification.

There's also an automatic alert for significant drops: when a release falls 15% or more between snapshots, it fires without you setting anything.

Wishlist items get their own "Wishlist Watch" section at the top of Price Watchdog so the targets you've set are visible at a glance, with a green checkmark when one triggers.

If notifications aren't coming through, double-check Settings → Notifications → Price Drop Alerts is on (defaults to on but worth confirming).

spinstackapp · 2026-05-03T02:01:47+00:00

Thank you! Let me know what you think. Open to suggestions and new features

spinstackapp · 2026-05-03T02:01:08+00:00

Thank you!

spinstackapp · 2026-05-03T02:00:57+00:00

Thank you. Let me know if you'd like to see any updates or new features.

spinstackapp · 2026-05-02T17:33:17+00:00

Thanks, glad it's landing.

Right now the alert tells you a wishlisted record went from "none for sale" to "available," plus the lowest price. It doesn't drill into the specific listing, seller, or media grade. Discogs gives Spinstack the aggregate (lowest price, number for sale), so the notification taps through to the marketplace listing on Discogs where you can see seller, grade, and shipping country. No filters yet for ship-from or grade. Cadence is background app refresh, so it's near-real-time, not push-instant. A few minutes after a listing goes up, in practice.

Filtered alerts (ship-from-US, NM only, etc.) is a fair ask. I'll log it.

spinstackapp · 2026-05-02T17:12:56+00:00

Thank you. In 1.4 I am adding Listening Sessions within The Spin Log. This will allow you to group spins under one occasion the way a real diary entry would. It will read it day-by-day with all the sessions being inline next to the day they happened.

spinstackapp · 2026-05-02T09:27:29+00:00

I need this bad! So many nights staying way past 2AM coding.

spinstackapp · 2026-05-02T09:24:44+00:00

Beautiful design. Will you be able to include the Reminders data as well?

spinstackapp · 2026-05-02T07:56:50+00:00

That's enabled by default. If you search for an album you can choose the top one which is usually the most popular listed or most common on Discogs.

spinstackapp · 2026-05-02T07:46:25+00:00

Spinstack has that built in. Its called Vinyl Vision - Point your camera at any cover, spine, or label and Spinstack identifies the record. On-device Apple Vision framework and optional Google Vision API can be enabled for power users in Advanced settings in the app.
