Our first project of the semester is to create a music app.


Competitor Analysis

Apple Music

Apple Music’s design is my favourite as I love the simplicity of it along with the bold colours it uses throughout the app to make it a bit more visually appealing. I personally used Apple Music and I loved it, but it claimed that I wasn’t paying it and it randomly stopped working for me without any warning that they would take away my subscription which is really frustrating.

Spotify

I also really like Spotify’s design, but I feel that it’s a bit too dark for my personal taste. However, I love the fun features Spotify has such as creating joint playlists and Spotify wrapped.

Youtube Music

YouTube music is another app that I found and I don’t really see the use in it as you can already listen to music on YouTube, the only feature that’s different from the original YouTube app is that you can exit the app and still be able to listen to music. Again, I’m also not a massive fan of the dark backgrounds.

Soundcloud

Soundcloud is mostly known as a place for upcoming artists to publish their music. I find this really cool as it’s not a common feature, especially on the mainstream music apps.
