vinylover

vinylover is a vinyl collection tracker for iPhone and iPad from developer Kirill Konovalov, with an AI assistant built in. It keeps a collector's vinyl library and wantlist in one place and uses AI to suggest which records to add next. vinylover is meant for vinyl collectors who want to catalog the records they own and keep track of the ones they are still looking for.

Collectors add records to an unlimited library and wantlist, or import an existing library from Discogs in one click. Search groups all of an album's vinyl pressings together, so the user can tap in and find the exact version they own, and a record can also be looked up by its barcode. An Artists section at the top of search results lists all of an artist's vinyl.

AI-Suggestions recommends records the collector may want to add next. Listen Today prepares a daily recommendation from the collector's own library to start the morning with. iCloud Sync keeps the library up to date on all of the user's devices. Recent updates added endless scrolling and more relevant matches in search, sharper iPad layouts, and long record titles that no longer get cut off.

vinylover is free to download with Premium in-app purchases: 1-Month Premium at 1,99 USD, 6-Months Premium at 9,99 USD, and 12-Month Premium or Vinylover Year at 14,99 USD.
