Main Roadmap

Hi Moises! I would love to be able to have a feature where you can do a version of family sharing of a shared collection for exqmple boyfriend/girlfriend have a combined collection! That way I don’t have to scan in my albums that my bf has already done in his collection!

Under Consideration

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.

Planned

Hey Siri, Add This · 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.

Smart, Fast, and Yours Alone · 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.

Know It by the Cover · iOS 27 beta

We're reworking spacing and layout across the app so it makes better use of the bigger iPad screen — less stretched iPhone design, more of a true iPad feel.

Improvement

Add friends, view their collections and wishlists, and discover what they’re listening to. Send and manage friend requests to build your music network inside Needl.

A way to quickly “listen” a record when on album detail screen. For example you listen to a record, find in library, click it to go to details, look at photos etc, you read about ai stuff and same as you can like it, you can click somewhere “listened” or something, to check which sides you listened to

Liaten from the album page

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.)

Wishlist sorting

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.

Album Pages: Smoother, Cleaner

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.

App Clips: Try Needl Instantly, No Install Needed

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.

Records in 3D

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.

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.

Add scrollable alphabetical index to list view

User FeedbackIn 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.SuggestionIt 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:<ul><li>Spin the Needle: show a quick overview of the album such as release year, format, or track list.</li><li>Price Check: reveal pressing details, format, packaging, or market information to help identify the record. </li><li>Wishlist: ppossibly expand the artwork or show additional visuals like alternate images, inserts, or vinyl details.</li><li>Album Detail View: possibly expand the artwork or show additional visuals like alternate images, inserts, or vinyl details.</li></ul>This could make album artwork feel more interactive and help users explore the record more naturally when they see it throughout the app.
