Honest Vinyl Scanner

Photograph a record. Find out what it actually is — and what it's honestly worth.

Coming very soon on Android, with iPhone to follow.

What it does

Point your phone at a sleeve or a centre label. The app reads what's printed there, works out which pressing you're holding, and shows you what copies like it are actually selling for.

Why "honest"

• It tells you when it isn't sure. Most records exist in dozens of pressings that look nearly identical and are worth very different amounts. When the evidence only narrows it to a group, the app says so instead of picking one and sounding confident.
• Prices are real listings, not invented numbers. When we can't get a reliable price for a record, we say that too, rather than showing you a made-up figure.
• No account, and nothing sold. Your collection and scan history stay on your phone. There is no sign-up, no location access, no ad or tracking SDKs. See the Privacy Policy — it lists everything that leaves your phone.
