The app I chose to review is called 8tracks. This app is similar to Pandora, because it is an app that allows you to listen to music for free. The app is a free app; all you have to do is create an account. When you open the app you are given different themes to choose from. Once you choose a theme it will then it will take you to the next page where you choose a second theme that will further define your search for the perfect playlist.  The playlists are created by users for others to listen to.
       This app has several positive and negative features. A main positive of this app is that you get to listen to new music and great playlists that people make. Another positive is that there are endless users that create playlists, so there is always something new to listen to. A negative of the app is that you can’t hit the back button to start a song over, or to listen to it again. Another negative is that once you listen to a playlist you can’t listen to it again until a few hours later.
       Overall I give this app two thumbs-up. This app has so many different playlists it doesn’t ever get old. Also because there is such a variety of music available through different users.

Happy listening!

  1. Hi Alicia! Thank you for sharing this information about 8tracks. I have never heard of this app, but it sounds very useful and fun, similar to Pandora. I love that it provides a very personal approach to designing your account and finding the perfect music for everyone. I enjoy finding new music, and I imagine that this app is a great way to find new songs since there are so many users to share their favorites. Do you know if this app can be used internationally? I wonder! I recently traveled out of the country not knowing that I could not access my Pandora stations. If 8track is used internationally, I wish I had known about it sooner! Thanks for sharing. :)
