SoundCloud is an online platform that brings together artists and music lovers, allowing you to discover new music, or 'sounds' on the go with a mobile app for iPhone. As a useful platform for new artists, SoundCloud frequently features music you'd have trouble finding anywhere else online!
Discovering and sharing
SoundClould for iOS lets you discover new music by searching artists, genres and keywords, as well as giving you suggestions on who to follow.
SoundCloud is heavily integrated with Facebook, giving you the option to register using the social media platform, show a live feed of what you are listening to, find and follow Facebook friends, and share music to your Facebook, Twitter, Tumblr, and Google+ accounts.
The verdict?
SoundCloud is a great service, especially for discovering new or emerging artists or even creating your own sounds, but the streaming capabilities of the app for iPhone could be improved to provide a better iOS experience.
The SoundCloud home screen features music shared by those users you follow to give you the most current updates of new sounds. Saving your favorite sounds is easy with the option to 'like' sounds, create playlists and sets, and re-post music.
Navigating through to your own profile, searching for sounds and tracking user activity is done through a panel at the bottom of the app.
SoundCloud lets you stream individual sounds, sets, or create playlists. There can be a slight lag when switching between sounds, and the app itself can be slow to load content.
