Wishlist sorting
Have the searched vinyls in wishlist be sortable, defaulting to sort by popularity. Possibly having other options based on available data (IE rating, length, etc.)
Planned
Needl in Claude
Bring your collection into Claude. Connect your Needl account and ask about your records the way you'd ask a friend who knows your shelves: "What did I play most this month?", "What was I spinning on this day last year?" or "Log that I just listened to Side B of Kind of Blue." Claude can pull up your records and collection stats, help you pick tonight's spin, and add records or wishlist items for you, all saved to Needl. Sign in once to connect, and disconnect whenever you like.
Planned
Tidal Support
Bring your Tidal listening into Needl. Connect your Tidal account and Needl will show what you've been streaming right alongside the records you own, just like it does with Apple Music and Spotify. Your Tidal plays will count toward your listening stats and your monthly Pressed recap, and you'll see which albums you stream most but don't have on vinyl yet. Those make easy picks for your wishlist.
Planned
iPhone Duo Support
Needl is getting a brand-new design built for iPhone Duo. Unfold it and your collection opens up on the 7.6-inch display, with room to browse your shelves and see a record's details side by side. Fold it closed and pick up right where you left off on the 5.4-inch outer display. Or stand it up next to your turntable, and Now Spinning and StandBy turn it into a dedicated display for cover art, live lyrics and visualizers while the record plays. Your whole collection, made for the fold.
Roon Support
We've heard from collectors who listen through Roon, and we get it. Roon is great. It isn't on our roadmap right now, though. Roon runs on a computer in your home instead of in the cloud, so connecting it works very differently from Apple Music, Spotify or Tidal. We're focusing on Tidal first. If Roon matters to you, upvote this so we know when to take another look.

Hey Siri, Add This · iOS 27 beta
The new Siri can see what's on your screen — so soon, you won't have to say a record's name at all. Just look at it in Needl and say "add this to my wishlist" or "what's this worth?" and Siri will know exactly what you mean. No searching, no typing, no naming names.
Shipped
Smart, Fast, and Yours Alone · iOS 27 beta
Needl's new intelligence will run right on your iPhone — faster recognition, works offline, and your photos never leave your device. When a match gets tricky, it'll be able to quietly ask Apple's private cloud for a second opinion, without ever tying anything back to you.
Shipped
Know It by the Cover · iOS 27 beta
The best records rarely have a barcode — the originals, the obscure pressings, the ones worth the dig. Soon you'll be able to just point your camera at the cover instead. Needl will recognize it on sight, right on your device, and tell you exactly which pressing it is and what it's worth.

Album Pages: Smoother, Cleaner
We're polishing how album and wishlist pages look and feel — smoother scrolling, backgrounds that pull color from the artwork so text stays easy to read, and small motion touches throughout. Same pages you know, just refined.
Shipped
App Clips: Try Needl Instantly, No Install Needed
App Clips are Apple's way of running a tiny slice of an app instantly — no download, no account, no waiting for the App Store. We're building one for Needl: scan a code on a record store shelf and a lightweight version of the app will open right there, showing you the price, a few tracks to preview, and a button to save it to your wishlist. Decide you want the full app later, and everything you saved will already be waiting for you.

Records in 3D
Scan a record and it'll turn into a real, rotatable object on your screen — one you can spin, slide the disc out of, and open at the gatefold. Light will move across the sleeve, the vinyl will catch a sheen, and your collection will look closer to the real thing than ever.
Shipped
Dig Together
Two phones, one shared crate — built for record digging with someone else. Hold your iPhones close or hop on FaceTime, and every record either of you scans will drop into a live crate you both watch fill up in real time, with prices, dibs, and reactions built in. When the session wraps, you'll get a Dig Recap of everything you found together.

Needl currently is under by 10 and those records are found in my Discogs collection but not on Needl

Add scrollable alphabetical index to list view
Right now, to scroll down alphabetically you have to keep scrolling through all albums until the lettered section. It would be really useful if we had a way to speed up scrolling by letting you jump section by section.

Tap Album Artwork to Explore the Record
User Feedback In Spin the Needle, an album is shown but the only option is to close it using the X button. I caught myself a few times instinctively tapping the album artwork expecting it to open more details about the album. Suggestion It might be interesting if album artwork were interactive. For example, tapping the cover could trigger a cool visual interaction — like the record flipping, opening like a vinyl sleeve, or revealing the disc — and then show additional information about the album. Depending on where you are in the app, the interaction could reveal different details. For example: Spin the Needle: show a quick overview of the album such as release year, format, or track list. Price Check: reveal pressing details, format, packaging, or market information to help identify the record. Wishlist: ppossibly expand the artwork or show additional visuals like alternate images, inserts, or vinyl details. Album Detail View: possibly expand the artwork or show additional visuals like alternate images, inserts, or vinyl details. This could make album artwork feel more interactive and help users explore the record more naturally when they see it throughout the app.

Duplicates counting
It should show complete count size of collection, since you can have an identical album on two separate vinyl releases, since a song can alter between versions. Or an option in settings to toggle between showing duplicates as separate release or ignoring duplicates

A way to like a record from album page
Currently you can like an album just when they are listed somewhere but if you click it and go to album page there is no like button

Improve Cover Flow Smoothness
Would love to see improved smoothness when swiping through albums in Cover Flow. Right now it is very stuttered and snaps back to previous albums when you stop swiping.
