Hey Chompers,

The wait is over! Apple recently approved Chompin for iPhone and we’re proud to announce it’s available for download in the iTunes store (iTunes link). This release brings all the music discovery features you’ve come to love on Android phones to iPhones and iPod Touches. We’ve decided to offer both ‘lite’ and ‘pro’ versions of the app. This ‘pro’ version comes with some cool new features that we’re excited to share:

Channels

When you tap on the menu button you’re presented with the usual Discover, Chomped, Friends, and Search tabs you’ve come to love in the Android version. Now you also get a series of Channels that allow you to further filter and select musical genres to explore. These Channels are created by analyzing each track and it’s related blog, extracting relevant keywords, and comparing with Last.fm’s tag APIs. 

The fun part about Channels is that they change with the current music trends. For example, Rock and Country are pretty consistent, but Christmas or American might pop in during certain holidays or concert series. 

This type of filtering was the most requested feature from our last poll and from your emails. We’ve had fun putting it together and think you’ll enjoy this new way to discover music on the go.

Lots more to come! Let us know what you think so far.

Thanks,

The Gnomes
