Since the introduction of their own music-streaming
service, Apples vision for their iOS music app seems
to left some of their users behind, users that had
different demands of the music app they want to use
on their phone.
Compared to the old iPod days, the use of much
smaller flash-storage and incomplete streaming
catalogs seems to kill the once achieved dream of
having the whole music collection in the pocket.
For this course the main task was to redesign
an existing iOS-App in the Appstore. I teamed up
with
David Röttger, and together we chose the App
Evermusic, that already provided the technical framework by
being able to access music from a variety of cloud
hosters. To transform it into a better solution for
the music enthusiast that still values access to
their own music collection on the go, we reduced the
layers of complexity by focusing on the core tasks,
that these users needed to build a streaming library
on their own.
