From super rare tracks to major hits, you'll find artists, bands, songs, and albums, across thousands of music genres from ultra underground new electronic genres to Norwegian black metal, golden era hip hop, deep indie experiments, pop, country, world, folk, classical, and more.
The app makes it easy to discover new music or explore the music you already love by finding similar artists and displaying artist info like biographies, videos, songs, and more.
In addition to making maps of similar artists, you can now also make maps of related songs :) You can create a song map by starting with a search for a song instead of an artist, or you can view an artist's profile and then start a map from one of their songs.
You can share maps, songs, and artists straight to Twitter, Facebook, Instagram, Email, Messages, and more.
The Discovr interface design was called 'Beautiful and dynamic' by The Wall Street Journal, and Discovr has been featured in Billboard Magazine, Wired, BBC, The Guardian, NME, Fox News, AFR, Sydney Morning Herald, The Age, The Australian, and more.
The main benefit of these changes is that the app is more efficient and secure, supports bigger music maps, is easier to maintain, and works well across all devices.
Note: favorites that you might have saved in previous versions of the app will not appear in this new version (the new code is a major update and favorites could not be transitioned across).
This updated version of the app makes use of new and additional data sources to improve the broad music coverage in the app.
This version updates the design to support the latest OS design patterns and the full range of iPhone & iPad screen sizes.
The app now covers a lot more artists (around 2 million artists and bands) and includes many newer artists that the old version did not support.
Note: related songs are determined based on related songs that users also listen to (rather than songs that just sound exactly the same).
You can play 30 second sample clips or buy your favorite songs and albums directly the iTunes store.
The app includes a full music player as well as a mini player you can access anywhere in the app.
The app has also undergone some big code changes behind the scenes to keep the app up to date with the latest technology changes and security requirements from Apple.
