SANTA CLARA, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--SoundHound Inc., the revolutionary sound search company today released an updated version of its popular music search and discovery mobile application designed specifically for iOS 7. The latest SoundHound update includes an exclusive new music map feature, improved performance and localization, and an updated sleek design.
The new signature feature within SoundHound for iOS 7 is “My Map,” where registered SoundHound users’ music discoveries are visualized on an interactive map. Users can filter their map view across time periods including by day, week, month or all-time.
While “My Map” allows users to collect and visually track their own music moments, they can also continue to see which songs and artists are being discovered by other SoundHounders around the globe via the “World Map” feature, introduced earlier this year. Registered SoundHound users can easily toggle between the two map views. All users can see the World Map and filter between music genres including Rock, Urban, Country and Latin. These features are dynamic and real-time.
“iOS 7 has given us the opportunity to both visually and substantively enhance the SoundHound experience,” said Katie McMahon, Vice President, Sales & Marketing for SoundHound Inc. “The release of ‘My Map’ seamlessly enables users to capture and collect the music moments of their lives, akin to how easily we take photos and love photo albums. SoundHound’s most well known features, including fast music recognition, the world’s only sing/hum search capability and LiveLyrics, just got more delightful now that you can fill and keep your personal map with music memories.”
By registering with SoundHound and creating an account, users can access their personalized map at all times while enabling their search history to be seen across devices, ensuring that content will not be lost.
The enhanced SoundHound app for iOS 7 is available for free from the App Store on iPad, iPhone and iPod touch, or at http://bit.ly/SoundHoundiTunes.
