Earlier this year, we covered some of the updates to the FlashFWD award winning music discovery app SoundTracking. Today, after a year of  impressive milestones and development, SoundTracking announced a new version of the app with brand new features, including a fresh user interface and a new “discover” section.

Soundtracking’s new UI is simplified and updated for iOS7 optimization, including updated navigation and new user tab bar, higher quality timeline photos, Brighter accent color themes, new fonts, and new icon action buttons. Top friends are also auto-suggested in search and tagging flows to improve efficiency.

Rather than relying upon just a scrolling stream of music moments, SoundTracking has introduced the humanized and friendly “Discover” section.  The feature includes a variety of new discovery options for users who enjoy finding music from different angles.

• “Song Of The Day” – Each day, the editorial staff picks a new track from an emerging or popular artist that we think has an exciting sound, regardless of genre.

• Search – Find music and other fans simply by typing hashtags such as #nowplaying or #tbt.  This allows people to discover music by evolving topics created by music fans, not just by standard genre categories.

• Trending – Changing by the minute, this feature shows what music moments are popular around the world among the SoundTracking community of music lovers.

• Nearby – Based upon our current location, this section shows you what’s popular in your local area and city.  Learn about new music buzzing in your neighborhood and follow some fellow music lovers.

Since SoundTracking launched in 2011, over 40 million music moments have been shared in the SoundTracking community, with over 530 million views. Over 60% of users have tagged their music moment locations over 1 million times, using the location services powered by Foursquare API and Google Maps API.

You can download the new SoundTracking 4.0 on the iTunes app store.
