Discogs 12+

Great for cataloging records and viewing your collection/wish list. However the one issue I have is that you can not view people’s reviews on the app (you can however view it from a web browser). I like to see reviews to make sure the pressing is good. However, this app does not allow you to view them. I hope this is fixed in the future, but doesn’t seem likely given that there have been updates and still no viewable reviews.

Edit: actually the reviews can be viewed when you tap in the upper right hand corner (...) and select “reviews.” However the reviews should just be placed at the bottom as seen in the web browser. Still a great app.

The app has been fantastic for managing my collection in Discogs, but the latest update broke the search function and makes using the app nearly worthless. As described in another review, you can search once successfully, but nothing happens with any additional searches; no auto-suggestion as I type, and nothing happens when I click the “search” button, even if I start a fresh search. I have to exit the app and start again for each search. I’m in the process of entering my collection of a few thousand records, so obviously way less than ideal. Also has problem where item added to collection doesn’t always show up right away (“My copies”) so appears that item wasn’t actually added. I’ve re-added some only to have multiple copies displayed in my collection after a few minutes. Another problem since the update: the app has hung a few times when I I edit an item in my collection and hit “Save”. I have to exit the app and then when I open it again, the item has been deleted from my collection. Had I reviewed before this update I would have given five stars; now one star is about right.

Great app for tracking the records, CDs, etc., that are in your collection. Very handy when your’re digging in the wild and need to check to see if you already own something. However, it seems more often than not the app, or various features, just do not work. Often as I’m adding new acquisitions to my collection, I’ll get the message “sorry something went wrong” and I have to start all over with adding that record. Quite frustrating especially when you’ve “typed” using your thumb lots of notes about a record (I track how much I paid, where I bought it, etc.” AND it’s not unusual for the app (and even the Discogs website) to be completely unresponsive. Like just now…app isn’t working at all and the website gives this message: “Put on a record, we’ll be right back. We hope to restore services as soon as possible.” Wish this lack of service wasn’t a frequent occurrence, but sadly it is. Great app…when it’s actually working.
