## What is SocialSound Pulse?

SocialSound Pulse is the companion for music fans.

News, new releases, tours, and festivals — for every artist you actually listen to.

FEATURES
- Feed: artist news rolled up across press sources
- Releases: new albums, EPs, and singles as they drop
- Tours: see which of your artists are on the road, with dates near you and ticket links — plus the full bill: every supporting act, each with a bio, so you know exactly who you're seeing before the headliner takes the stage
- Festivals: browse festival lineups and spot the ones stacked with your artists
- Artist Detail: bio, social links, recent news, upcoming shows and setlists
- Manage Artists: pull from your Apple Music library or add manually

PUSH NOTIFICATIONS
Optional. Opt in for a once-daily digest of upcoming shows and new releases from the artists you track.

MUSIC SERVICES
Works with Apple Music (full feature set). The built-in share extension also resolves songs across Apple Music, Spotify, and YouTube Music so you can share with anyone.

PREMIUM
SocialSound Pulse is free, supported by ads. Go ad-free and unlock more:
- Plus — removes ads, unlimited tracked artists, concert alerts, smart sharing, and the Playlist Generator (build a playlist from your recent listening and send it straight to Apple Music, Spotify, or YouTube Music). 7-day free trial, then $2.99/month or $14.99/year.
- Lifetime — a one-time purchase: everything in Plus, forever, with no subscription.
- Remove Ads — a one-time purchase that hides all ads.

Payment is charged to your Apple Account at confirmation of purchase. Subscriptions automatically renew unless canceled at least 24 hours before the end of the current period; manage or cancel anytime in Apple Settings. Any unused portion of a free trial is forfeited when a subscription is purchased.

PRIVACY
No account required. The free version shows ads via Google AdMob, which may use your device's advertising identifier (you'll be asked for permission first). Beyond ads we run no third-party analytics — just a random install ID for aggregate counts. Your library data stays on your device.

## Version history (last 5 releases)

### 1.7.0 — 2026-07-13

Shared — a new home for your music sharing (More tab): see everything friends have sent to your share code, plus an anonymous community feed of what other listeners are sharing.

• Build playlists without connecting a music service: tour, festival, and setlist playlists now work as universal links that open in Apple Music, Spotify, Tidal, Deezer, and more
• Share songs straight from Spotify — the SocialSound share extension now appears in its share sheet
• Easier start: add artists by name, no music service required
• Feed quality: smarter artist matching and fresher stories — no more old news resurfacing or stories credited to the wrong artist
• Following a new artist from Recently Played now works on the free tier
• Clearer Premium details and bug fixes throughout

### 1.6.0 — 2026-07-08

A FRESH LOOK, EASIER ON THE EYES
- Every page now shares the same stage-night look: one consistent dark background, matching cards, and text tuned to accessibility contrast standards.
- New opening splash: the band takes the stage.
- Headers, filters, and action bars stay pinned while you scroll.

FASTER - EVEN ON BAD SIGNAL
- Shows, tours, festivals, releases, and local events are saved on your device, so pages open instantly. A small "Looking for new..." pill checks for updates in the background.
- The feed loads more stories per page and refreshes itself if it ever comes up empty.

TOURS, OPENED UP
- Tour dates and ticket links are now free for everyone. Premium keeps the tour overview, supporting act bios, and one-tap tour playlists.
- Tap "On Tour" on any feed story to jump straight to that artist's Tour & Shows page.
- Ticket links get their own line - easier to read, easier to tap.

YOUR LIBRARY, PROPERLY CREDITED
- Re-sync your library anytime to pull in new follows.
- Collaborations now credit every artist separately - "A & B" no longer hides two artists behind one name.
- Sharing to a friend who uses email? Send it right through Messages.

### 1.5.0 — 2026-07-06

LOCAL SHOWS ARE HERE
- Local: every show within driving distance, including the small-venue nights only locals know about. Search any city, state, or zip to scout a trip, and share an event with a friend to see if they want to go.
- Artist pages now have Tour and Shows side by side - one-off shows and festival stops no longer hide inside a tour.

A BIGGER, SMARTER FEED
- Follow up to 75 artists free (up from 15) - bring your whole library.
- Stories about several of your artists now show a chip for each one.
- Off-topic articles are filtered much harder, and you can flag anything that slips through ("Not about this artist" or "Not music news").
- Artist photos now load once and appear instantly ever after.

FOR EVERY MUSIC SERVICE
- Add artists by name no matter where you listen - every add is verified against the music catalog, so your feed stays clean.

### 1.4 — 2026-07-03

Tours — see which of your artists are on the road, with dates near you and ticket links. Every tour includes the full bill: supporting acts, each with a bio, so you know who you're seeing before the headliner takes the stage.

Festivals — browse festival lineups and find the ones stacked with artists you actually listen to.

Playlist maker — build a playlist from your recent listening and send it straight to Apple Music, Spotify, or YouTube Music.

Plus performance improvements and bug fixes across News, Releases, and sharing.

### 1.2.0 — 2026-06-29

Tours are here. See where the artists in your library are playing, get the current setlist, and build a tour playlist in one tap - the full lineup, supporting acts only, or a single artist. Share a tour with friends and get notified the moment tour info is ready.

The share sheet is smoother too: add a personal message once and it leads every link you send, including to your saved contacts.
