Young Thug Posted February 29, 2016 Share Posted February 29, 2016 They said from the start that they were using milkcrate to make this, nothing unexpected. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

daegor Posted February 29, 2016 Share Posted February 29, 2016 It's nice and slick and will be helpful for physical crate digging (IE, do I already have this, and is it a good price?) I do hope that they add a search function by cover art, as suggested. They've already said that there will be market place integration in the future. I'd love the ability to add to collection or marketplace via barcode. And, when adding to your collection it would be great to have the ability to save new submissions to draft if the barcode doesn't already exist.

Eliminator Jr. Posted February 29, 2016 Share Posted February 29, 2016 First impression after browsing for ten minutes: I'll never open this app again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mellowtooth Posted February 29, 2016 Share Posted February 29, 2016 what the fuck were you guys expecting?? it does exactly what I'd want it to do. I thought MilkCrate was great. maybe not a full replacement for the site but for casual browsing and collection management it's 1000x easier than the mobile site Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dvv Posted February 29, 2016 Share Posted February 29, 2016 something I would really want is instant notifications when an individual item on your wantlist goes up instead of the bi weekly email with several itsms Seafinch and Fridge Fox 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mellowtooth Posted February 29, 2016 Share Posted February 29, 2016 something I would really want is instant notifications when an individual item on your wantlist goes up instead of the bi weekly email with several itsms I absolutely agree with that, but that's more of a discogs feature request than a request for the app itself. I wish you could "star" certain items in your wish list and get separate texts / emails when those went up Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vinyl addict Posted February 29, 2016 Share Posted February 29, 2016 something I would really want is instant notifications when an individual item on your wantlist goes up instead of the bi weekly email with several itsms I get emails everyday for stuff that's in my wantlist.

Eliminator Jr. Posted February 29, 2016 Share Posted February 29, 2016 what the fuck were you guys expecting?? Not much, really. Acceptable design, reasonable categorization and basic search/browse-functions (collections cannot be sorted by 'added', discographies are completely messed up). I expected a slightly modified mobile version with simple, basic features. I can't see a single advantage in using this over the browser-version, so I have no use for this.

lager Posted February 29, 2016 Share Posted February 29, 2016 I'd use this a ton if you could update your collection by scanning barcodes. Until then I'll probably stick with the mobile site Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vinyl addict Posted February 29, 2016 Share Posted February 29, 2016 Barcode scanner isn't going to be very accurate anyway. There's several albums with multiple presses with the same UPC in many cases DC1221 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Young Thug Posted February 29, 2016 Share Posted February 29, 2016 Not to add items to your collection, just to look them up oh I see he wants a more streamlined thing, that's tough because two different releases of a record can have the same barcode in some cases. Luckily the app has an add to collection button right there after you get to the release page so it's not too bad. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
konk Posted February 29, 2016 Share Posted February 29, 2016 I wanted to be able to sort by value. Can't do that on mobile either. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
serotonein Posted March 1, 2016 Share Posted March 1, 2016 I've been using Discography for Discogs on Android for awhile and pretty pleased with the dev doing what he can to make tweaks along the way. The biggest issue is for classic albums that have 50+ different versions but that's hard to manage no matter the UI. It's been incredibly useful for crate-digging. I signed up for testing the beta of the official app to compare functionality, but it's cool just to have multiple apps for this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vinyl addict Posted March 1, 2016 Share Posted March 1, 2016 The reg discogs site is normally what I use on my Android. Just type the catalog # in at the top. It's not really all that hard to navigate if you know what you are looking for etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jeromium Posted March 1, 2016 Share Posted March 1, 2016 Pretty underwhelmed with the app, but I've yet to use it in the field so we'll see. I expected it to be simpler than the site, removing clutter and things I don't need to worry about while on the go, but the search function isn't as great as the mobile site. I'm used to typing things in the search bar and getting the drop-down of matching results, allowing me to easily pick an option without having to type the whole thing or wait for a search results page to load. The lack of smart search is a major difference and failure on the app's part. Otherwise I just need to get used to how things are displayed. I don't love the results display either, say for viewing versions of a release. It seems more difficult to skim than the mobile site's list. Again, might just need to get used to that.

There is no cutoff or consistency to when they send it out it seems like. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
