SoundShare is an app that connects many music services together into just one social network. A place where you can see and play what your friends are listening to, start a party (so your friends can play songs through your device), create collaborative playlists with them (no matter which music service they use), like their songs, send them a message and a lot more.

"SoundShare is a new iPhone app that makes it very easy to share songs you enjoy with your friends." - LifeHacker

"SoundShare shows a lot of promise. The music streaming market is fragmented and there is little incentive for service providers to build tools to share music across platforms." - MacStories

Pros and cons of SoundShare app for iPhone and iPad

SoundShare app good for

Very easy to use, and allows you to listen a short preview of what your friends are listening. A must have!
Great way to share playlists and all u listen.....works fast smooth...sick!
This app definitely has a possibility to become mainstream and popular it is amazing and is equivalent to a music Instagram that has sex with Netflix
Must have app! Brings together the two music networks together for ultimate music steaming collaboration.
Awesome app to share music with my friends and discover new songs!

Some bad moments

The app crashes everytime I try to share what Im listening to facebook.
Maybe Im missing something but when I press the share button on Apple Music I dont see any SoundShare app extension. Is it even possible to share from Apple Music to SoundShare?
Collaborative playlists and share sheet extensions arent functional at all. Useless app.
Could use some UI tweaks and some more design polish, but its definitely on the right track. Borrows heavily from Instagram, which isnt a bad thing. Once they more tightly integrate Facebook and twitter contact recommendations this should start to gain traction. If this was combined with great ui an design of Nowplayer it would be the music app Ive been waiting for.
Everytime I try to share to FB or twitter, the app shuts down. Needs to be fixed. Unusable the way it is currently.
Awesome app to share music with my friends and discover new songs!
