Tap Album Artwork to Explore the Record

Feature RequestFeature Request

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.

    hey @Erik Toplak

    Just wanted to let you know that this was released.

    Thank you again for the idea and the feedback. I added two things here:

    1. If you tap on the album, it takes you to the album details view.

    2. If you press and swipe left, you can also see the album cover.

    Let me know what you think of it, and if you think of any other ideas, feel free to submit feedback. Thank you.
