In addition to streaming songs, 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.

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 especially includes many newer artists that the old version did not support. From super rare tracks to major hits, you’ll 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 artist’s profile and then start a map from one of their songs.

Pip Wangler

Normally $0.99.

Pip Wangler is a unique 3D puzzle game.

Try to get your Pip from one end of a bendy Wangle Wire to the other by spinning the whole thing this way and that. Gravity is your friend, but the twists and turns of the Wire are not!

Completing each puzzle quickly enough unlocks a fresh Wangle Wire for you to try.

You can try each one in four different Wangle Zones – Earth, Fire, Air and Water – each with a different look and feel, and with trickier zones giving you higher scores:

‘Easy Earth’ has a Wire that’s not too slippery, and the whole things spins quite sedately.

‘Frisky Fire’ has a slick, polished wire that the Pip slides around rather more quickly; you’ll have to work harder to keep it under control.

‘Turbulent Air’ brings a fresh challenge, as the Wangle Wire tries to slip from your grasp, and twitches back and forth when you aren’t moving it yourself.

Lastly, ‘Deep Deep Water’ requires all your wits, as a blackened Wangle Wire in some gloomy depths is lit by the gleams of light from the Pip.
