Spinstack 1.4.2 is all about polish and reliability. BEAUTIFUL ON iPAD Discover and your Insights now make the most of the big screen. Today's Pick sits as a wide banner with your Quick Picks right below it, and Wax Timeline and Stats line up in one clean, centered column. NOW IN MORE LANGUAGES Spinstack is now fully translated in Brazilian Portuguese and European Portuguese. The Spanish throughout the app now reads naturally for collectors in Latin America, while still feeling right in Spain. YOUR UNLOCK STAYS PUT Restore Purchases now brings your unlock back right away, and collectors who already own Spinstack no longer see a stray trial reminder after opening the app on a weak connection. PLUS THE USUAL CARE Smaller fixes and refinements throughout. Thanks for collecting with Spinstack.

Spinstack 1.4.1 brings collectors closer together. ADD A FRIEND IN PERSON Pair like an Apple Watch. Pick Show My Code and your Vinyl DNA appears with a scannable code at its center, drawn as a cloud of dots in your own colors. A friend points their camera, the swirl becomes the viewfinder, and you're added with a tap. Prefer to type a username? That's still one tap away. PRESSINGS A new showcase for collectors who own an album on more than one variant. Your colored vinyl fans out and spins, each disc showing its color, year, country, and catalog number, with a ring that tracks how many of the album's known pressings you own. Find it in Discover. THE B-SIDE, LIVELIER An unread badge lets you know when friends have new activity, and clears the moment you look. Double-tap a record to react. Your most-reacted spin of the week leads the You tab. Add a friend's record to your wishlist with Want it too, and see Albums you both want on their profile. LAST.FM, ON EVERY RECORD Open a release and see how it lives on Last.fm: global listeners, your own plays, and its top tags. Your Week in Vinyl crosses what you actually spun this week against your shelves, so the records you own and played rise to the top. A SHARPER CRATE DIG Crate Dig now shows each album once instead of repeating it as several pressings, so every dig is fuller and more varied. PLUS POLISH A refreshed welcome tour that shows off everything Spinstack can do, a tidier B-Side shelf on your home page, and the usual round of fixes and refinements. Thanks for collecting with Spinstack.

A stability and trial-fairness round. Two changes: - Sectioned scrolling, fixed on iOS 26.5. Sorting Collection or a folder by letter or original year on iOS 26.5 with a few thousand records could trip the system watchdog and terminate the app. Fixed. Section headers no longer pin to the top of the screen; a small floating capsule shows your current letter or decade instead. The right-edge alphabet scrubber works the same as before. The underlying layout is dramatically lighter on big libraries. - Trial fairness across reinstalls. The 30-day free trial used to reset every time the app was deleted and reinstalled, because the trial date lived only in a store that iOS wipes on uninstall. The trial now follows your Apple ID through iCloud and the App Store, so the window is honest end to end. Existing users carry their current trial date forward. Keep the feedback coming. Settings → Help & Feedback.

We fixed the sync bug that was hiding records added on Discogs.com. Pulling to refresh now shows your latest additions, including on big libraries where a stalled page in the middle of a refresh used to throw the whole result away. A few more wins along the way: - Price Watchdog is steadier on large libraries. A tester reported the app quitting halfway through a long sync on a several-thousand-record collection. We trimmed peak memory across the fetch and throttled mid-sync recomputes so the process stays alive end-to-end. - Pulling to refresh on the Home screen actually fetches now. Was a silent no-op within five minutes of the last sync. - Some Apple Music pressings come with the wrong preview track list. Release Detail now has a per-record Hide Apple Music Previews toggle. - Batch Tag Records picked up an "Ignore leading 'The'" sort option so The Beatles files under B and The Wall files under W. Keep the feedback coming. Settings → Help & Feedback.

Crate Dig is now on every tier. The swipeable "surprise me with a record from my collection" feature graduated out of Spinstack Pro. Every user gets the full experience, right next to What to Spin. The smart pick and the random surprise. Both included. Faster, leaner launches • Your collection, wishlist, and folders paint from the last synced version the second you open the app. No more blank grid waiting on the network. • Reopen within five minutes of a sync and Spinstack skips the Discogs call entirely. Instant launch, fewer API requests. • Beyond that, Spinstack refreshes quietly in the background while you browse. The list updates in place when fresh data lands. • Folders cache to disk now, not just their preview covers. Offline folder access shows records, not an empty state. • Pull to refresh always brings back the whole collection. Filing, the way record shops do it • First Name First or Last Name First sorts for Artist A-Z. Traditional filing, finally. • Beach House stays Beach House. Two-word bands no longer flip to "House, Beach." • Artist Banners group every record by the band that made it in list view. Browse like flipping record-shop dividers. • Sort Within Artist lets you order albums inside each banner. Alphabetical, or by original release year. • Original Year sorts group your records by decade. 1960s, 1970s, 1980s section headers you can tap. The right-edge strip switches to 60s, 70s, 80s for era-jumping. • Long-press any record anywhere in the app to log a spin. Collection, wishlist, search, a friend's shelf, an artist page. The B-Side, richer • React to a friend's spin with one of eight vinyl-themed emoji. Heart. Fire. Vinyl. Quick vibe, no typing. • See the records you and a friend both own right on their profile. • Trending in Your Circle ranks the records your friends are spinning most this week. • The feed auto-refreshes every few minutes while you read it, and background pushes wake you when a friend logs a new spin. Quality of life • Last.fm login simplified. Username and password. No API keys. • Three new Siri shortcuts: last spin, current streak, what's next in your queue. • Compact list view fits about 18 records on screen instead of 6. Remembered per view, synced across devices. • A gentle Sunday evening digest recaps your listening week. • Memorable Moments tags first spins, 5-star listens, milestones, and anniversaries. • German, Spanish, French, and Croatian across the whole app. Reliability • Fixed a crash that could hit users with 1000+ records when tapping a push notification. Notification scheduling also stopped blocking the main thread during tab switches on big libraries. • Pull to refresh now re-sorts every time, even when the record count is identical before and after. • A rare crash in Price Watchdog when a release appeared in both your collection and wishlist is fixed. • Background tasks stop cleanly when you leave a view. No more stale redraws after rapid tab switching. • A rare cold-launch crash from tapping a notification is gone. Crate Dig got a visual refresh too. Bucket and match pills moved to the top of each card. Action buttons now carry labels so new users don't have to guess. The progress strip shows "Card 3 of 12" and "9 left." The back of the card scrolls for longer reasons. Thanks for building your shelf with Spinstack.

Fixed a data parsing error that could break search in large collections. If you hit a "data couldn't be read" message when searching, that's resolved. Record detail and sync were not affected.

Customize Your Home Screen Reorder or hide any section on the Stacks home screen without digging into Settings. A new editor with a live preview lets you shape the app around your habits. Open it from Quick Actions or the tip banner on the home screen. Insights, Redesigned A new Hero card at the top shows live counts for your Records, Wishlist, Genres, Artists, Decades, and Labels. Swipe between two pages to see them all. Feature cards now sit in a clean 2-column Liquid Glass grid grouped into Discover, Analytics, and Grow Your Collection. Milestones in Stats now show every locked achievement with a live progress bar. Find Records Faster in Search The Search tab now has Quick Find shortcuts for Scan Barcode, Bulk Scan, Vinyl Vision, and Scan NFC Tag when the search field is empty. All your record-finding tools in one place. What to Spin Widget The medium widget now shows the record's Genre alongside Year and Format, and has a new Spin button next to Next. Tap Spin to instantly log the pick as played. Album artwork now also stays in full color in Tinted and Clear Home Screen modes. Friendlier Empty States The B-Side home shelf shows a hint when your friends are quiet. Play Next explains how to build a queue when empty. Wax Timeline tells you it unlocks at 5 records. Crate Dig makes it clear when your collection is too small instead of showing a generic error. Full Localization Overhaul French, Spanish, German, and Croatian translations went from around 81% coverage to over 99%. Every language now speaks casually using tu, tú, du, and ti. Hundreds of awkward machine-feel phrases were rewritten to sound like they were always written in that language. Dozens of grammar and accent errors from earlier builds are fixed. Polish & Accessibility Dynamic Type support on more screens so text scales with your iOS text size setting. Selection haptics added to Settings toggles, alphabet scrubber, destructive menu actions, and the Reorder button. Pull-to-refresh on Collection and Wishlist now fires a success haptic. Barcode scanner helper text reads clearly against any camera background. Alphabet scrubber in Collection and Wishlist has larger tap targets, higher-contrast letters, and VoiceOver labels. Bug Fixes Settings sub-screens (Display, Notifications, Data, Advanced, NFC) no longer show flat unboxed rows in Light mode. Refreshing The B-Side in the Friends or full view can no longer wipe your home shelf when CloudKit has a hiccup. Reordering home sections after an app update no longer risks a crash. Cards on The B-Side home shelf with user notes now line up cleanly with cards that have no notes. Full notes in the B-Side view are no longer truncated at 2 lines. Price Watchdog confirmation dialog updated to reflect the new batch size.

The B-Side: Now Working The friend activity feed from 1.2.1 wasn't showing spins between friends due to a username matching issue. Fixed. Usernames are now case-insensitive everywhere. If your feed was empty, tap Settings > The B-Side > Wipe My B-Side once, then log a fresh spin. Manual refresh buttons added to Friends and The B-Side views. Permissions Setup New and returning users are guided through Camera and Apple Music permissions early so features work the first time you need them. All camera views now show an "Open Settings" button when access is denied instead of a dead end. Easier to Understand Collection, Wishlist, and other views now have brief descriptions so you know what each section does. New tooltips explain The B-Side, Apple TV pairing, Milestones, Spin Log, and the Stacks dashboard as you discover them. The purple number in Sonic Connections Bridge Records is now labeled. Mood tags say they shape your Spin Analytics. Price Watchdog shows its data comes from Discogs Marketplace. Vinyl DNA has an expandable list of all six collector archetypes. The Recently Played section guides new users to log their first spin. Crate Dig in Insights Crate Dig now has its own card in the Insights tab so it's easier to find. Price Watchdog: Faster Prices now fetch in parallel instead of one at a time. Larger batches, shorter cooldowns, and releases already priced today are skipped automatically. Roughly twice as fast for large collections, and repeat refreshes are near-instant. Tips Show Faster Feature discovery tips now appear on your second launch instead of your fourth, and new tips can surface every hour instead of once per day. Bug Fixes Fixed Vinyl Vision crashing when tapping the + button on a matched record. Fixed the barcode scanner viewfinder not aligning with the overlay in Scan Barcode and Bulk Scan.

THE B-SIDE: SEE WHAT YOUR FRIENDS ARE SPINNING Spinstack is now social, without losing the privacy you signed up for. Turn on The B-Side in Settings to share your recent spins, collection adds, and wishlist picks with friends who follow you. Tap the new B-Side shelf on your home screen to see what they've been up to. Off by default. You choose exactly what to share. Your notes, ratings, moods, and listening history stay private unless you explicitly opt them in. Shared activity auto-fades after 7 days, and a single tap wipes everything you've ever published. DJ-FRIENDLY SHARING Flip the eye toggle on any spin to share your note publicly. Enable ratings in settings and your stars ride along too. Your friends see the records you loved, not just the records you played. NEW HOME SHELF The B-Side lives on your Stacks home screen alongside Recently Added and Recently Played. Tap a card to view the record, long-press to log your own spin of the same album. HONEST STATS "Various" no longer counts as an artist in Top Artists, Unique Artists, Wax Timeline, or Crate Dig. Your compilations still live in your collection as they always have, but your stats now reflect real artists only. Thanks to the user who asked for this. QUALITY OF LIFE - Fixed NFC Log Spin not loading the tracklist when you tap a tagged record. - Fixed the Collection Currency picker clipping symbols like CHF, MX$, and NZ$. - Added a proper Privacy section to Settings explaining exactly what The B-Side does and does not share.
