SoundCloud upgrades iPhone app
By Chris Cooke | Published on Friday 27 June 2014
SoundCloud released a new app for the iPhone yesterday, and it’s clear that listeners rather than creators where very much in mind during development, a sign that the digital firm is more focused on that side of the equation these days, even though creators are its direct source of revenue.
Though obviously creators benefit too if its easier to stream their SoundCloud-stored content via mobile devices which are, of course, increasingly key to the consumption of any digital audio these days.
Interactions in the new app are “gesture-first” says the blurb, which means swiping and tapping the SoundCloud waveform to stop, fast-forward and skip, rather than looking for specific buttons. Other innovations include new user profiles and the explore genres feature already available via the service’s web platform.
Those curious about the upgrade can read this blog post from SoundCloud on it. Or just bloody well go and upgrade their own SoundCloud app and have a play.
