News & Updates

A major update has landed on 1 August with a sharper split between Business and Consumer experiences, plus refinements across the shop-floor tools. 🌐 **Website** — The public site now has a clearer Business versus Consumer orientation. The homepage, navigation and pricing page are reorganised so visitors land directly in the right context, with less friction between the consumer and professional flows. 🛠️ **The Floor Tool** — Further improvements to the POS workflow, stock detail view and day-to-day intake/sales handling. The UI is tighter and the path from scan to checkout is more consistent. 📱 **Mobile Scanner** — Scanning robustness is improved. Barcode and cover recognition now handle more real-world conditions better, so scanning in dim light, on angled sleeves or with glare gives a more reliable result. 🖥️ **Shopfloor Kiosk** — The kiosk interface is cleaned up and more self-service ready. All changes are live now for existing users.

Switching tiers from the Subscription page is now fully wired through a dedicated backend flow. Upgrades and downgrades apply cleanly via Stripe with proper proration, and the UI reflects the new plan immediately after confirmation. Also fixed a handful of smaller billing edge cases around trial state and plan sync.

The mobile experience just got a major decluttering. We've streamlined the homepage and search interface so you can move faster, with less noise and more focus on what matters when you're out in the wild. 📱 **On-the-go ready** — Whether you're browsing crates at a vinyl fair, hunting at a flea market, or quickly checking a record on the train, the refreshed mobile layout puts the essentials front and centre. Fewer taps, cleaner cards, and a quicker path from question to answer. Desktop remains untouched for power users — the mobile refresh is all about making Groove Guru effortless when your phone is the only tool in your pocket.

The landing page has been redesigned with a cleaner, more focused layout. Lengthy feature descriptions are now tucked behind a "more details" button, so guests see a welcoming overview instead of a wall of text. Click through to explore the full depth of Groove Guru at your own pace. We also added a compatibility section to the homepage so visitors can see at a glance which platforms Groove Guru supports. The site is optimized for desktop, tablet and mobile to deliver the best experience on each device, and works seamlessly on Android, iOS and Windows. Tap the "?" next to "Compatible for" on the homepage for tips on adding Groove Guru to your home screen.

Big April update with two major additions: 🔌 **Offline Mode** — Your collection is now automatically cached on your device. When you lose internet (at fairs, markets, or travelling), the app still loads and you can browse your full collection. A banner shows when you're offline. Search, tools and adding items require internet — but viewing your collection works anywhere. 📱 **Mobile Expert View** — The Collection Tracker on mobile now features a cleaner, streamlined default view. A new Expert View toggle lets you show or hide advanced options like import/export, watch timeline, collection statistics, and status filters.

Version 1.0 is now effective. After months of development and beta testing, Groove Guru officially is live. Launching with 700+ unique sources, Fair Market Value analysis, Vinyl tools for every part of your hobby, Collection Tracker and more to come.

Your Collection Tracker now includes a portfolio-wide Fair Market Value trend chart. See how your entire collection value evolves over time — aggregated from all individual FMV analyses.

Power users rejoice — you can now toggle between the card grid and a compact, sortable table view in the Collection Tracker. Sort by value, date, status and more.

Auto Search now shows a pulsing "X new items" badge directly on your Saved Searches card and the Features page, so you never miss fresh listings.

Each collection item now has a timestamped activity log. Add detailed information, insurance notes, provenance details and more.

We're thrilled to announce the public beta of Groove Guru — search across 400+ marketplaces worldwide for your collectible and more.
