How is this free?! It looks super cool. Gives you daily recommendation for new music and learns your taste based on your swipes. Basically, it's Tinder for music. I want it for Android, please!

@v4violetta Maybe the data itself is valuable to them--knowing that Kendrick Lamar listeners also swipe right on Death Cab for Cutie (ha) might be good for either artist's record label.
@v4violetta@jackrometty Yeah it is :D. We aggregate the track info from blogs and tastemakers (similar to The Hype Machine) then stream it from Soundcloud.
Hi guys, Founder of Choosic here. Thanks for sharing Violeta.
I'm glad you like the product, we're working hard on making improvements, bringing the app to Android, Windows and Web and we'd gladly take any feedback on board.
In terms of how Choosic works, we actually aggregate content from over 600 tastemakers and then run it through our recommendation engine to get the best of algorithmic and curated recommendations.
I'm looking forward to hear what other people think :D !
@shanev Not yet, but we have plans for the future to recommend music from friends, so having it integrated from the get-go really helps.

Yet another app developer that believes Facebook is the only way to go about doing things. I was excited to try this app and was instantly roadblocked because I don't use Facebook. Please add an alternative way to get access such as email or Twitter.
@aaroncrocco Hi Aaron, we're planning on integrating social recommendations. We want to add traditional email sign up but we got to think a few things through in terms of user journey. Sorry man, we'll sort it out!
If you're ever in London, we host chilled out networking events with live music (from emerging artists) every quarter called "Plugged", it's a really nice vibe. Or feel free to pop over to our office and have a chat and we'll treat you to some quality new music and coffee :)

Interesting! Isn't this something that last.fm used to do/does?
@v4violetta Ha ha, but of course, what would we do without swiping! But leaving the joke aside, cool stuff! ++1 on the Android version, please! I'm still not cool enough to get an iPhone. =) =)
