Congratulations! What did you do to market the app? Just stick it in the store? Or did you get blogs to do write-ups?<p>It seems like discovery has always been a huge problem for app developers.
Good job! It's on the App Store, so treat yourself to a full version number ;)<p>(I wonder if people would be less likely to buy it having "0.0.2", thinking it may not yet be worth buying. In any case, why not just call it 1.0.2, etc?)
There's a web version too. Handy for checking out the type of music: <a href="http://noonpacific.com/" rel="nofollow">http://noonpacific.com/</a><p>edit: First song convinced me already.
Did you get 8tracks API permission for use in a commercial app?<p><a href="http://8tracks.com/developers/terms" rel="nofollow">http://8tracks.com/developers/terms</a>:
For commercial use of the API (including ad revenue) you must receive permission. Please contact api@8tracks.com.
Loved the first song I heard on web version, +1 for Android.<p>Good example of non-technical value creation - can't fake good curation. That your project has done so well tells me that the streaming music players have not cracked the code yet.
How are you handling issues related to copyright? I don't have an iOS device so I can't tell if the app simply streams the music from sources that have legal access or if its locally caching the music.
The concept and screenshots look great! Do you have last.fm support? Because (for me): If it doesn't scrobble it's not a music player :-)<p>Edit: Just downloaded the app. It doesn't scrobble but otherwise the app works as advertised. Thanks for posting here on HN! Not only music discovery but also app discovery is hard sometimes.
Congratulations! Just trying this out now and I love the mix I've had so far.<p>It's so easy to make music these days that it can be difficult to find the gems in all the noise. For me, having places you can trust to do some curation/filtering for you is really important.
This is an awesome app! Really nice unknown (at least for me) music!<p>If I can give you some feedback, the UI need some tweaks. the whole screen bounces when you touch it. Would be nice to have more details about the songs. A progress bar would be nice.<p>Really nice app!
Bought! To show support and so far the mixtapes are totally up my alley.<p>How long did it take till you felt comfortable with development on the app, as far as quality, amount of bugs, etc., to release it on the app store?
