[ REVIEW ] nanoGroove 1.0 – grooveShark client with Playlist support

[PPCInformer]

Hi fellas



We got our hands on a new grooveShark client for Windows Mobile. This one allows you to load playlist from any GrooveShark Account VIP / Free. [ updated ]

Check out more screenshots and Video in our Full review of nanoGroove 1.0. We are also giving away 10 copies of the app.

This sounds like a great program for only $4.99. I'm gonna try this out and see what happens on the TP2

thanks yes, i noticed, but... I noticed that it might be better overall if you have a VIP playlist which is 3$ a month, or does the VIP access not really matter much?

with this version I really dont think its necessary. coz even if you load a playlist from the VIP account you have to add each of the songs individually to the local playlist before you can play. ( unless I missed someway to do it )

might as well search for it and add it . That said I have a paid account its only $3 for a month you can pay using paypal and cancel the subscription before the month runs out..

I just purchased the app for $5.00.

So far this is what I have experienced.

-Sound quality much better and louder than the freeware groovefish app
-Very user friendly
-Doesn't lock up or freeze
-Can add as many songs as you want and queue them up as you please
-Album art on most songs is nice to have
-Can hit the power button to turn the phone off and music continues *HUGE PLUS*
-Very finger friendly -finger scroll up or down- i had problems with the freeware app picking songs as I tried to scroll or struggling to scroll in general
-All songs play - freeware app 70% of the songs didn't play and would remain on "requesting stream"


WHAT its MISSING

-Saved song playlist - an app that cost money should have this small feature or at least a recent search *10 previous songs played*
-When you are listening to a song and a call comes through, the song should be paused and restored if the call is ignored or when you are done with the call *you have to open the app and click play in the player currently*
-Navigation pad should be compatible with the scroll list so you don't have to use your fingers if you don't want to

If I find out anything else I will let you guys know.

IMO, its worth the 5 bucks especially if the developer keeps making improvements..just hope for an auto update function when that happens.

I'm just about to chuck out the money, does anyone know if this covers the cost for future updates as well?

good question. I like the app so far and am about to drop the $5 too- but I'll wait until next week when they annouce the 10 free app winners (call me cheap)

I just sent them an emailing asking about the upgrade issue.
Heck, I was going to pay for a year of Panadora but this Grooveshark is so much better I might go here instead.

Been using the app for the last hour straight and its allowing me to create playlists all over grooveshark and access them through nanogroove. I am not a VIP member and I never was a VIP member. Application is amazing and worth the 5 dollars easy. Application would be absolutely essential if the developer could add the radio feature from grooveshark. I would like to see him allow you to simply tap a song and start playing it after searching instead of having to hit the arrow to add it to the "player" and then go down to view, and then go up to player, and then press play on the song.
