Songkick launches iPhone app
By CMU Editorial | Published on Thursday 9 June 2011
Live music web service Songkick has launched a rather snazzy new iPhone and iPad app which will allow users to track their favourite bands, browse live listings by location, and share concert plans, all via their portable devices.
At launch, the app scans the user’s music library to find artists to track (the scanning screen is worth downloading the software for on its own), but probably most interesting is the ‘what gigs are happening near me tonight’ function which, although an obvious service to offer, is pretty cool nevertheless, benefiting, of course, from all the listings on the main Songkick platform.
Confirming the app launch, Songkick top dude Ian Hogarth told reporters: “We’re on a mission to make sure music fans never miss another concert by one of their favourite artists. The Songkick Concerts app makes it easy for music lovers to know when their favourite bands are coming to town, quickly check out ticket options, and share concert information with friends on Facebook and Twitter”.
