What’s the Music App You Can’t Live Without?
We all know the iPhone – and every smartphone, for that matter – “changed everything.” The way we hear our favorite tunes and discover new ones was forever changed by these devices. We don’t even need an iTunes library anymore – just a strong signal and one of the many powerful and well-stocked streaming apps available, ready to play you a lifetime’s worth of music at a tap or a swipe.
We asked: what’s the music app you simply can’t live without? Why’s it so great (available music, it’s interface, it’s rock-solid reliability)? Here’s how you answered:
Soundcloud
The Soundcloud app for iPhone is the best thing ever.

Rediscovered SoundCloud app as an ad-free alternative to Spotifiy + Pandora. Great for remixes also.
