TUNASPOT LAUNCHES ON iPhone

100,000 Desktop users

Tunaspot users have been creating playlists, sharing them among each other and geographically tagged them to different locations all over the world for almost a year now. From the “Superman work-out” playlist at your local gym to that “Our office Soundtrack” by the company next door to yours.

Reaching over a 100,000 users in their Spotify desktop app – Tunaspot now launches its iOS app enabling you to listen to the music around you – be it playlists generated in your city, the music program from a festival you are attending or a brand new local playlist you discovered on the fly during your vacation.


iOS

While Tunaspot Desktop offers users the possibility to create content, the Tunaspot mobile app in its initial version focuses entirely on music discovery. For now, at least. But naturally, with more features in the pipeline.


This way the Tunaspot iOS app completes the circle by enabling users to access all the playlists generated in Tunaspot Desktop on their mobile. The mobile app focuses on the music posted in your immediate proximity, making the Tunaspot music listening experience truly location-based.


The search function and hashtags enable the users to sort playlists and music by different criteria, for example by categories such as #vacationstories and #madeinmalmo.


The Tunaspot playlists (called Tunas) are more than just playlists, for many users they are connected to memories and feelings. For example a certain concert back in the 90’s or all the new great music discovered at Coachella 2013.


Download Tunaspot for iPhone and discover what your city sounds like!
