Music app for bikers

[St_Gabriel]

Any more thoughts on an iOS version?

[Murray]

For a change I have to disagree with you. I believe everyone is different and should evaluate the situation for themselves. For me no music = mind wanders an often have "far canal, where did that come from" moments.
Music at an appropriate volume, that does not block engine or traffic noises, keeps me on point.
Same in the car.
Not loud music. Background.

Loud music is what affects your aural senses in traffic.

totally agree and backed up by some dickhead women cutting in on me today on motorway and not quiet bike and reasonably loud horns but hello when I go past her to give the KB wave she's got plugs in her ears and obviously couldnt hear a damn thing. riding bikes is dangerous enough without loosing your listening ability

On the way home on grids I had some #whiteboyproblems. My Bluetooth coms went flat 30 seconds into ride. Due for next charge Monday but forgot to take into account the extra riding earlier in the week. The first 20 mins of ride were reasonably normal but the next 20 minutes were so distracted I had to stop and gather myself. Surprising what you start thinking about when you are by yourself.

I am sure some will tell me to HTFU, but it is a real issue for me and has been for a long time. I can't do repetitive tasks accurately without music either. Studying is hard to possible without either music or books on tape.

Result of a significant head injury that left me unable to read because of the scramble of thoughts fighting to be at the front.

Hi Mushu, yep the app needs at least android 4.0 to run, looks like your defy runs gingerbread (2.3). Pretty much any new android phone these days will be on 4.0+ except maybe some $99 Huaweis...

Well, I lost my phone yesterday, so I went out and bought a Galaxy S3 and have already downloaded the app, I'll report back in a couple of days with what I think.

Nice work, just about to finish a diploma in software development and hope to develop these sorts of useful applications

Just setup a paypal account for donations for your efforts or something and see what happens man

Haha sweet. I might just do that :-)

I haven't forgotten about an iOS version. We'll see what happens once v1.0 is out for Android...

Awesome, go hard mate. Mobile app development is where it's at at the moment.

Looks good wouldn't mind a windows phone version if its easy to port.

Is there anyway to get the app to pickup my music that's on my sd card on my s4? As this is where my Google Music app keeps it.

Charging for it is a tricky one because the plan is to open it to 3rd party extensions, I.e. so you can download custom announcements from other developers from the play store. The trick is to do that without alienating anyone... Still thinking about it. Thanks for the support.

So how will you make you're millions? haha. Nice looking app mate. Just downloaded it now. I don't listen to while on the motorbike but I thrash the shit out of my buds while working around the house etc. I had Tasker set up to read texts and announce callers but it doesn't like the Z1 too much so I've given up on it. This will make things simpler. Any plans to announce callers as they come in?

Oh, if only the widget was semi-transparent or full transparent I'm starting to appreciate my wallpapers a lot more and all the apps they have, at least, semi-transparent widgets to keep things clean (Walkman app is one of them).

I'll give it a thrash this week and see how we get on. Might be cool mountain biking with an hearing the alert that I've hit 55 km/h

Does it not automatically do it? I only have music on my card for my Z1 and it just shows. Plays fine too.

No doesn't seem too possibly it's due to the way the s4 addresses the ad card. Pics up music on the on board storage fine

Androids can be a bit funny like that. Fix is usually just to un mount the card, mint the card and the open the app. Sometimes not because of SD card running slightly different
Format. If so back up your files to desktop. Format SD card from phone. Restore files, un mount and re mount.

Some phones you need to import your music files via their bespoke apps.

so far really enjoying this app, awesome work dude

[MarkH]

Installed app, seems pretty good even for just listening to music while not riding.
I like it!

Yep this will be easy to add now

That's a good design point, I'm sure most people would appreciate seeing more of their wallpaper. Noted

Hah that would be cool. Just need to add one for 88 mph now...

@russd7 and MarkH

Thanks for the feedback, glad to hear it! Feel free to rate it on the Play store as well if you've downloaded it *nudge nudge*
