Thanks, I'm glad you like it. I'll look into it, but I have a feeling it would get too complicated since the Discogs api doesn't allow for something like that. But I will look into it since it's a good idea and would be nice to have. Thanks for the suggestion.

Hey. No it's still in there so you should still see it. Could you try logging out and then in again and see if it comes back?

Ah great! Thanks for letting me know

Thank you for the message. Yes I have error logging, but it's not always that I get it. But I did get the one from when you tried it, and it's from 1.4.1-1 (You can only see that it's 1.4.1, but the last is a 'hidden' internal version number). I actually released a updated version an hour after I released that version (1.4.1-2) that should fix that problem, but I guess Google hasn't sent it out yet. Thanks again for the help.

I finished adding this functionality now and it'll be included in the next version of the app (1.4.2). Keep an eye out for it and let me know what you think. Yes exactly, it'll look something like this then: http://i.imgur.com/jrXJ1yF.png

Hi, it's actually already possible today. If you type in LP at the filter field at the top of that screen it'll show you that. It's also possible to use that to filter by country, title, catno, format, label and year.

Thank you, I'm glad you like it. It's a good suggestion. I'll look into it for I'm not sure if I want to add it as it might make it confusing to the user. But I will write it down and see if I can find a good way of doing it. Yes that would help a lot. In the latest version I solved the two major bugs that have been reported in regards to crashing, so give it a go again and see if you can replicate it. In that case crash reports would be great so that I can look into fixing it. Thank you for your feedback.

Thanks for the feedback, I'll look into the bugs and see what I can do. Let me know if you find any more. Thank you very much, glad you like it.

No problem, glad you like it. If you want to try it without the apps you can send me your discogs username and I'll make it so that your account doesn't have the ads for the next version of the app. Same for you if you want to try it without the ads send me your discogs username and I'll be happy to let you try it without. I've tried to pack as many features and such into it as possible, but if there's any more you would like to see then let me know. Thank you, I'm glad you like it. Let me know if you have any questions or problems with it and I'll be happy to help.

That is something that I've had in mind, but haven't had time to start with yet. I'm not sure I'll be able to get it to work, but hopefully I might be able to get something like that to work, but it's a huge project so I have no idea if I will. Thank you very much, glad you like it. Unfortunately it relies on the Discogs notifications to do so, but I have something in mind that might make that possible. But it's just in the planning stages now and a long time ahead right now. And no, since I there is no way to connect a record store to a Discogs seller directly then I can't display their inventory. It's a very good idea, but not possible however. And thank you

Cool, check it out and let me know what you think, and if you have any problems or questions about it. A tip is that you add it to your wantlist, and then check your notification settings on Discogs.com so that you get an email every time an item in your wantlist is added for sale. That way you get notification messages when it happens on Discogs (as well as in the app then).

Thanks, glad you like it. Yes I want to improve the message handling a lot more, but unfortunately it's not really possible using the Discogs API at all. I've already had to do a lot of circumventing it just to get the messages into the app to begin with, and doing more with them is unfortunately very difficult. Just something like replying to messages is almost impossible to handle directly from within the app, but I am looking into that type of stuff for the future. But I don't have any high hopes of getting much more functionality out of the messages unfortunately.

Ok thanks for letting me know, I'll look into it. By the way, if you're sorting your list the same way every time, you can go into the settings and choose a default sorting method, and it should always open that up when you start the app. Cool, thank you, and I'm glad that you like the app. Thank you, I'm glad you like it. And yes, I've gotten that feeling as well! But you can always look at is as an investment But honestly, it's just a value that's based on previous sales history, and all of the time as well as sentimental and emotional value that has gone into it is surely much greater. No that's true, it doesn't go that deep as to filter out credits on that level unfortunately, but that's a limitation on the amount of data that Discogs provides for the collection. There's several lot of those little things, for example I had to spend a lot of time and energy on finding a workaround for the fact that Discogs doesn't provide information about when the items were added to collection/wantlists so that I could sort after it. Edit: If you really want to accieve something like this, you can go into the beatles then list all of their credits, and it should show an indicator on every item that you have in your collection/wantlist/inventory/list. Ah good. Unfortunately the Discogs api server isn't always playing nicely, which there isn't much to do anything about. I've built in several attempts to fix this problem by retrying and things like that, but it's not always possible to remedy unfortunately.

Yes if you go into your collection screen (same for your wantlist) there is a input field at the top that says 'Filter collection'. Just start typing in there and it automatically starts filtering your collection bellow. It checks for the title, artist, label, catno, format (and in the next version your collection field notes). If you go into your collection and then click the three dots in the top right to open the menu, one of the items is a 'random item' button that will choose a random release from your collection. Hm that's strange. Which artist was it?

Yes I've got that in my app as well. It's a nice feature. I've also got sales history for releases, as well as Discogs suggested prices. (Nice username by the way)

Thank you, and no problem. You can post your iOS findings here if you want to.
