Sonic Search
Read full descriptionHide full description
Sonic Search is a discovery radar for electronic music listeners, DJs, and selectors. Find a track for the moment, listen to a preview, then use the buttons to like or pass. The app learns from choices stored on your device and sharpens future recommendations without requiring an account. With Sonic Search, you can: • discover tracks by subgenre, BPM, energy, vocals, and mood; • find DJs and selectors by musical intent and listen to public sets; • follow electronic music news and open the original sources; • follow public community conversations about tracks, DJs, parties, and festivals; • organize likes, passes, and your local music profile; • open official links to hear artists and tracks on available platforms. Sonic Search does not host its own streaming catalog. It recommends, adds context, and links to previews, sets, and official sources when available.

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Sonic Search at none against Falling Note's 8. Sonic Search also leads on update cadence (every 2 days vs every 3 days) and iOS requirement (15.0 vs 18.6). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
