UPDATED DESIGN
This version updates the design to support the latest OS design patterns and the full range of iPhone & iPad screen sizes. Youll also see some much requested features like full-size high quality artist images and the new artist detail layouts.
MUSIC
The app includes a full music player as well as a mini player you can access anywhere in the app. You can play 30 second sample clips or buy your favorite songs and albums directly the iTunes store. You can also play full length music videos from Youtube and use a premium Spotify account to play full length songs.
NEW MUSIC DATA
This updated version of the app makes use of new and additional data sources to improve the broad music coverage in the app. The app now covers a lot more artists (around 2 million artists and bands) and includes many newer artists that the old version did not support. From super rare tracks to major hits, youll find artists, bands, songs, and albums, across thousands of music genres from ultra underground new electronic genres to Norwegian black metal, golden era hip hop, deep indie experiments, pop, country, world, folk, classical, and more.
PERFORMANCE
The app has also undergone some big code changes behind the scenes to keep the app up to date with the latest technology changes and security requirements from Apple. The main benefit of these changes is that the app is more efficient and secure, supports bigger music maps, is easier to maintain, and works well across all devices.
SONG MAPS
In addition to making maps of similar artists, you can now also make maps of related songs :) You can create a song map by starting with a search for a song instead of an artist, or you can view an artists profile and then start a map from one of their songs. Note: related songs are determined based on related songs that users also listen to (rather than songs that just sound exactly the same).
FAVORITES
You can save your favorite artists for easy access later. Note: favorites that you might have saved in previous versions of the app will not appear in this new version (the new code is a major update and favorites could not be transitioned across).
SHARING
You can share maps, songs, and artists straight to Twitter, Facebook, Instagram, Email, Messages, and more. Just tap the (...) button on a map, song, or artist to share.
SUPPORT
This is a big update, with many changes in design, code, and data sources. If you experience an issue please get in touch so I can fix it for you :)
You can report an issue at any time by shaking your device. Data fixes (like missing bands or incorrect band info) are usually fixed a few hours after being received from users, so send in your issues :)

Latest reviews of Discovr - discover music app for iPhone and iPad
Back in high school (1984 -1988), we relied on radio. The newly invented MTV & underground papers to find & "discover" new music. Our music wasnt considered mainstream & wasnt played on conventional radio. College radio was our only opportunity to hear bands like Siouxsie and the Banshees, Bauhaus & Patti Smith. An app such as this which shows these artists connection to each other, whether it be through working together or influencing each other is groundbreaking. Included is a mini-bio of the artist(s) as well as a nice sampling of their music-older as well as current. Kudos to the great minds that thought of this. Thank you.
This is one of my favorite apps. The company Discovr is very intelligent, because they have so many apps that are useful and very visual. Unfortunately this is the last of their apps that still work. They had a Twitter and iOS app app.
Simple and Handy yet efficient and informative!
Best music app hands down.
Am way into French & Québec music (but live in NYC) & this has made it so much easier to find new singers/bands. Thanks, Discovr.
