Burnley, Lancashire -- (SBWIRE) -- 11/30/2015 -- Since its launch 6 months ago, Apple Music has gained 6.5 million paying subscribers. It's now being developed to work on Android phones. The app has been launched in beta and aims to bring Apple Music to everyone.
It's the first proper attempt Apple has taken to make one of its own apps available on Android. There is an app made by Beats for the Beats Pill Speaker and a 'Move to Android' app, but Apple Music is the first Apple branded app to make the move.
It will also be the first time iTunes content will be available on another mobile platform, with users being able to access past purchases on iTunes. The app will look slightly different for android users as it includes a hamburger menu instead of the buttons at the bottom which IOS users are familiar with.
The move comes during a new music release period, with new albums from huge artists such as Adele, Justin Bieber, One Direction and Rihanna all expected in the next few weeks. Other music streaming services such as Spotify, Google Play and Amazon Music are already available on other mobile platforms and have been successful – but Apple wants to remain prominent on every available platform.
Apple sees the importance of being noticed across lots of different operating systems, from Windows, IOS and Android, but other companies need to take that on board too. Getting your site or app to work perfectly on a number of different platforms is important for success.
