Best Apps

Remember when we all used to secretly download music online and fear the repercussions, the years we would spend rotting away in jail for that one download of “Umbrella” or “If I Ruled The World”? Because for me, it stands out vividly in my mind. However, thankfully, the times of “illegally” downloading are in the past. With the advent of apps or rather mobile device applications, we can listen to any song at any time with the touch of a button. 

Still, not all music apps are created equally, so today we present to you the top 10 best music apps to meet your streaming needs:

1.

Spotify offers listeners over 30 million tracks to listen to or to add to for free. But where Spotify hits the mark is in the way it allows users to find new music. Its Discover Weekly feature provides users with a playlist specifically selected for them every Monday.

2. Soundcloud

If you're an up-and-coming musician, you probably have this streaming service on your phone or you're downloading it right now. With its ability to allow listeners to create their songs, remixes, and playlist to their desired sound, this app is a win for garage band artists who dream of becoming the next best thing and for listeners who just want more control over what they're listening to.

Apple Music was once the most anticipated streaming service before users finally got it and saw its many hiccups and issues with navigation. Nevertheless, Apple didn't go down without a fight and fixed many of its problems. Today, the service has great features, like an easy-to-navigate system and playlists made by actual people, rather than robots.

5. Tidal

Beyoncé. and Jay-Z never play when it comes to music, so when they first bought into this platform, it was a shock when it took a nose-dive. However, this isn't to say that Tidal is still off the rails, but rather that it had a few growing pains. After a few months in the shop, this streaming service (now majority-owned by Jack Dorsey' company Block) has better sound quality than most other apps, with hi-res and Dolby Atmos surround sound for all audiophiles who want crystal clear streams, and a higher payout for artists who receive a hefty 10% cut of your subscription fee. Power to the people and to the playlists.

Like Tidal, this app offers hi-res sound and also beats Apple Music and most other top-name apps with its record number catalog of 70 million tracks.

7. Shazam
