Audioboom Launches New Android App

Audioboom (AIM: BOOM), the leading spoken-word audio on-demand mobile platform, announces that it will relaunch its Android app with an updated design and a host of new features tomorrow.

The new app - which will be available from Google Play - launches shortly after the announcement of the Company's partnership with comedian and presenter, Russell Brand, who will be recording The Russell Brand Podcast exclusively for the platform.

The platform currently has 3.4 million registered users around the world, and works with over 2,300 global content partners and broadcasters.

The Android app includes:

   --     a completely redesigned interface in line with the Audioboom iOS app;

-- Your Player, which plays the freshest content from the channels and people the user is following, plus trending and relevant audio from the categories they like;

   --     a custom-built recommendations engine to learn what audio the listener loves; 
   --     a download function to save audio posts for offline listening with one swipe;

-- an updated record, trim and upload function to let the user quickly create their own clips to share with the world.

Rob Proctor, CEO of Audioboom, commented:

"The launch of our iOS app at the end of last year was a huge success, and we're excited now at long last to bring the same functionality to our Android users. We believe we are reinventing radio consumption for the digital age, and the new app allows people the opportunity to listen and curate audio when they want to. Having moved from user generated content to high quality, professional content, we are rapidly becoming the Netflix for audio."
