CHANGELOG
What’s new in Groovv
Every Groovv release, newest first. New features, improvements and fixes for collectors, shipped every week or two from Melbourne.
Set the exact time a record joined your collection
New
- Set the time as well as the date when you edit Date Added, so a record sits exactly where you want it in date-added order.
Improved
- Crates fit the screen on tablets held upright.
- Crate dividers show how many records are in their section.
- Records with no artwork show the vinyl placeholder instead of a blank square.
- A short intro to Connections for anyone who hasn’t found it yet.
Fixed
Connections: see who made your records
New
- Connections. See who made your records: musicians, producers, engineers and studios, and how your records connect. Tap a name to see everything of theirs you own, and find this week’s connection in Stats.
- Pro: put a photo of your own on the front of a crate.
Improved
- Flip the order inside each shelf on the Shelf sort.
- A better record page on tablets.
- Your collection value now says how many records are ungraded.
- The pressing picker keeps its Add button on screen.
Fixed
Search that finds Motörhead when you type motorhead
New
- Search ignores accents, spaces and punctuation, so “motorhead” finds Motörhead and “acdc” finds AC/DC.
- Search and cover scans find limited and one-off pressings that Discogs doesn’t list under an album.

Send records from Groovv to Discogs
New

- Add to Discogs too. Turn this on in Settings and every new record and want goes to Discogs automatically. It’s off by default.
- Groovv only ever adds. It never edits or deletes anything on Discogs.

Improved
- Discogs import and Sync now run on Groovv’s servers. Sync is faster and keeps going if you close the app.
- Sync pulls in additions and removals, and records you re-add on Discogs keep their tags and plays.

- A smoother value chart.
Fixed

- A crowded Collection header.
Your own covers, everywhere
New
Improved
- Covers you add yourself now show everywhere: Recent Spins, Most Played, Time to Rediscover and the stats cards, not just the Collection tab.
- Big collections on collector profiles arrive already sorted and page in as you scroll, so a 6,000-record crate no longer reshuffles.
- The Collectors tab, Pulse, search and follower lists are quicker.
Fixed
- The Profile tab claiming no internet on a working connection.
- Two crashes from double-tapping Back or Close.
Scan a barcode, get your exact pressing
New
- A quicker start for new collectors: a two-slide welcome, the Discogs question up front, a first-run checklist and a day-two note on what your collection is worth.
- An offline strip when you lose your connection.
Improved
- Scan a barcode and the result opens on the pressing from your region, with the others one tap away.
- Barcode results list every pressing Discogs knows, not just the first one someone added.
- Missing covers fill in on their own.

Fixed
Spin the Crate moves to your collection
