Collectors Rejoice! Discogs Has Launched a Mobile App
Super-duper record collector website, Discogs has jumped into the mobile app world with the launch of its free iOS app. An Android version is still in the development stages.
Although the app doesn’t quite have all of the features you can find on Discogs website, it’s noted that more modifications for the app are forthcoming.
Reads a statement issued by Discogs: “The official Discogs App doesn’t integrate every Discogs feature, but it currently includes the tools you’ll need to take your music collecting habit on the go! (If you are looking for the full site experience, our site is already mobile optimized, so just navigate to discogs.com via your phone’s browser.) We’ll be adding new features based on your feedback!”
