Ratings & reviews

Spindle Sunday. Every Sunday, 5–8pm ET, the whole app listens together. A card on Home counts down to it and lets you line up what you'll play. When the window opens, Discover gains a Sunday tab: a wall of everyone's sleeves as they drop the needle, a running count against the night's goal, and a chat. First night is October 4th — the theme is "Something you bought used." Re-Spin knows the album, not the pressing. Before, a re-spin only counted if you and the other person owned the exact same pressing — so two people playing the same record on different presses never connected. Now they do, which means far more records to re-spin and far more twin matches. There's also a "Put it on too" button when you're watching someone's live spin. Random plays what's been resting. Tap Random on Home and it now leans toward records you haven't played in a long time, or ever, instead of drawing blind. It holds back anything you've spun in the last couple of weeks and tells you why it chose what it chose. Find people through your shelf. Discover → People now has an orbit feed: what's being played and re-spun by collectors whose shelves overlap yours, with more variety than the same few faces every time. Likes on your picks now reach you. When someone likes one of your challenge picks — today's or one from months ago — you get a notification, and tapping it opens that pick. There's a new toggle for it in Settings → Notifications. Also: the Re-Spin badge no longer disappears from a spin you edited afterwards; dates show on every row in the orbit feed; and the record picker marks and floats the record you already chose instead of making you hunt for it.
