[APP][4.1+] Humming songs for others to guess - Hummi.nz - #1 HN show - Android Apps and Games

Hi everyone
Less than a month ago I challenged myself to build and launch an app in one week and I developed Hummi.nz, an app that allows you to record yourself while humming a song and test the other users to see if they guess the songs.
https://medium.com/@razvanilin/challenged-myself-to-build-and-launch-an-app-in-a-week-cc6b44731a49
I week after I launched, I posted about it on HN and I was amazed to have created a useful discussion around it. The post even reached #1 in the show section and #9 on the main page. Later on, I also launched on Product Hunt and managed to get featured for most of the day on the main page accumulating almost 80 upvotes.

This leads me to believe that the concept of the app is good, but I'm really trying to execute it right at the moment. If anyone has the chance to try it out, I would be grateful if you share your feedback here.
I'll be here to reply to everyone so feel free to ask or share anything. Cheers!

Sing (hum) your favourite songs and send it to other people to guess
No words allowed while singing!
You can browse a list of hums recorded by other people and try to guess the songs
You can climb the leaderboard by guessing songs
You get points when people like your hum as well
Hummi.nz is an app that allows you to record yourself while humming a song and then send this to everybody that uses the app. They will then have to guess what song it is. The perfect place where you can sing your heart out and share with others.
You can also listen to other people humming and try to guess the song yourself.
Got a tune stuck in your head and can't put a name on it? Hum it with Hummi.nz and other people will help you out instantly. The power of people can be greater than automated apps like Shazam and SoundHound when it comes to humming.

Free Song of the day app for Google Music?

Is there a app that gives notification of the Google Music free song of the day?
Similar to how this app:
https://market.android.com/details?id=com.apperhand.amazon.appstore.free.app.of.the.day
Notifies of the free Amazon App Store free app of the day?
Sent from A Team Kang Powered VZW 4G LTE G-Nex
Yes Please! ...and how about all the other free songs on Google Play Music?
I second this inquery and move to inform of possible solutions for google music free song of the day/free song collection/antenna free song , anyone?
free song of the day is listed on the main page:
https://play.google.com/store/music?hl=en
it is down a little bit after the 'best deals' section. On the free song of the day is a link for 'more free music':
https://play.google.com/store/music...theme_2011_10_29?feature=free-song-of-the-day
Their free song of the day, I guess actually came from blog Magnifier:
http://magnifier.blogspot.com/
which hosted features for people to find/discover new music, and of course a free song of the day.
apparently the blog not only had a free song of the day, but had a segment called "Antenna" with free samplers, which seemed to be monthly 'editor picks', would be a good way to describe what it was before.... usually of a new release OR an independent / lesser known band complete with reviews....
http://magnifier.blogspot.com/search/label/Antenna
Antenna, as with the 'song of the day' also merged into google play music, and is now stating "ANTENNA SAMPLER: Google Play's monthly free sampler is back with more new hip-hop, indie, electronic, country and Latin pop." which seems to be a selection of several artists, ~10 tracks, with an opening few paragraphs talking about that month's selection... it is found (took me a while) at the bottom of the main store page, on the left below the graphic that says "Free Music" (not the same link... which is misleading), the link is the actual text that says "ANTENNA": https://play.google.com/store/music/collection/series_overview_antenna_2010140_ant_antenna_march
it looks like it is actually a 'collection' which there are other collections to the right of "free music".
The original Magnifier blog also had "Scanner", which provided free samples of different GENRES of music:
http://magnifier.blogspot.com/search/label/Scanner
In the Google Music store, I am not sure where to find this at all - however I do believe it is the same as when you first create an account (or maybe it was when first logging in, or downloading the 'music manager' desktop program) and it offered to add free music based on the genres you selected..... IF anyone knows where to find the free music GENRE sections within Google Play Music, please let me know!!
Also, The original Magnifier blog contained video interviews with various artists... new releases, new artists, up and coming, independent, etc... However, the video features usually contained a selection of free songs as well:
http://magnifier.blogspot.com/search/label/Video Feature
The link to the google play store works:
https://play.google.com/store/music/collection/series_overview_videofeature_20100c2_vid_dr_dog
However, I cannot figure out where this 'video features' section is and how to get to them from the Google Play site... again, if you know - please let me know
And last, there was a 'free songs archive', a banner on the side of the page... I believe this is the same as the ''more free music" link on the song of the day:
https://play.google.com/store/music...011_10_29?feature=free-song-of-the-day#?t=W10.
free songs url from the magnifier banner link:
https://play.google.com/store/music/collection/series_overview_theme_2011_10_29
However, it does not provide the entire 'archive' to view but it seems to change once a week?? I'm not sure....
SOOOOO There are SEVERAL placed to get free music from Google Play Music store.... some of them I can't even find anymore, and don't know exactly how they name the 'collections' as it isn't a generic link, but changes with each new weekly/monthly 'free samplers'....
For example:
Searching "google play music magnifier" came up with this result, an old video feature:
https://play.google.com/store/music/collection/series_overview_videofeature_2011_10_26?hl=en
Searching "google play music antenna" came up with several different old antenna collections:
most recent -
https://play.google.com/store/music/collection/series_overview_antenna_2010140_ant_antenna_march
older results -
https://play.google.com/store/music/collection/series_overview_antenna_2012_01_12?hl=en
https://play.google.com/store/music...iew_antenna_2010019_ant_antenna_october?hl=en
https://play.google.com/store/music...ew_antenna_20100d5_ant_antenna_december?hl=en
https://play.google.com/store/music/collection/series_overview_antenna_2012_01_11
https://play.google.com/store/music/collection/series_overview_antenna_20100fb_ant_jan_antenna?hl=en
https://play.google.com/store/music/collection/series_overview_antenna_2010121_ant_feb_antenna?hl=en
https://play.google.com/store/music/collection/series_overview_antenna_2012_01_13?hl=en
https://play.google.com/store/music/collection/series_overview_antenna_2012_01_13?hl=en
These seem more like the original blog's "Antenna" in that it is about a single album by an artist, with a paragraph of info about the artist/band:
https://play.google.com/store/music/collection/series_overview_antenna_2011_10_27?hl=en
https://play.google.com/store/music/collection/series_overview_antenna_2012_01_10?hl=en
Either these (a specific artist on Antenna) or the "Video Features" with free songs to download -I think- are related to all the albums titled:
"(Artist Name): Live at Google" by (Artist) or simply "Live @ Google" by (Artist)
Which so far seem to all be free... Also, all the album 'cover art' for these albums also have a similar grey bar that says "[email protected]" as if it is the album name, regardless of which of the two album titles above is used.
Other than being able to make out the year (2012) and dates on some of these links, and then not using the year anymore on newer ones but a 2010xx link of some sort, I can't seem to make sense of how to check regularly other than going through the google music play store and hoping the Antenna section is there and hoping I can find out where to find the Video Features section...
Of course all the links have "/music/collections/series_overview_".... in the url, however I have seen nothing to indicate searching collections or finding links to 'series'.... Again, if you know something I've missed - please let me know!!!
Hopefully there is a program / app or something that can inform (or possibly automate the 'add'?), for at least the free song of the day? As that seems to be one of the many sources of free music on Google Play Music that would be easy to locate and has a 'feature=free song of the day' URL that likely(?) stays the same...
thanks for any help guys! :fingers-crossed:

Can you please shorten that text, its confusing, please tell us what you want instead of 9000 lines of text :/

I know it's been a while since you asked, but maybe some else will stumble across this thread looking for it.
I have written a free app just for this. It is called "Free Song of the Day" in the Play Store. Search for FSOTD or download it here;
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.taggahertz.freesongoftheday
I would really appreciate any feedback. I have just released it and I am sure there could be some improvements. I will even be willing to send you a premium version of the app for free if you PM me and are willing to test it out.
Also, if anyone has any good ideas on how to promote Android apps to get more downloads, I'd be more than interested. Thanks.

Looks interesting but not available in the U.K. I would also suggest you create your own thread to publicize your app.

[APP][2.3+] Kites - making location based messages more relevant

Hi guys, long time reader, first time poster here (which means unfortunately i can't post links - darn)!
I have just finished my first (big) app and am really proud of it and will be releasing in the coming weeks. I would love for people to help beta test it.
The app is called Kites. To cut a long story short, Kites lets you leave messages for people at specific locations. The recipients can either view these on a map or be notified when they get near. For example, you can leave a reminder for your partner at the supermarket and they will get it when they get there. So no more excuses as to why they 'forgot' to buy your chocolate milk
Check it out at kites.rockolabs.com - its still in beta so please join our g+ community to get access..its all on the website!
We also have a promo video up:
Hope you like it
Just learnt how to post videos so bumping so people can see it
Like your concept. Good luck!

Listen to Wikipedia

I didn't know where to share this, so I hope this is the right place.
I recently was discussing sleep with my friend and we both shared our methods on winding down after a long day and my friend told me about this website:
http://listen.hatnote.com
It's totally free and requires no subscription. Basically every time a Wikipedia article is updated/edited it plays a sound, which all come together quite well.
I discovered that with Android Lollipops chrome tabs being separate in the new card style task manager, the music on the website will continue to play in the background when your switching between apps...
Listening to this for an hour before bed while checking my emails, IM'ing etc... I found to be totally and utterly relaxing. It's also fairly awesome because the sound is being created by information online being edited or updated so it really brings out the beauty in information and knowledge.
I thought it was a nice thing to share
Good!!!:good:

[APP] ListenApp - Listen to music together anonymously

Hello everyone!
I am Sicknote and this is my first real Android App.
On my commute to work I always listen to music and everyday I see people on my train to do the same. Sometimes I can't choose a song to play and get so curious as to what that cool person on the train might be listening to, so I developed an application that would allow me to do just that.
ListenApp connects to the users Spotify app and shares what the user is listening to anonymously. Other ListenApp users can see what song is being listened to and at what position in the song the person is at, they can choose to listen together from the same point in the song.
Everything is anonymous.
Users can search for music globaly (default setting) or 100 meters / 50 meters. But it's advised to keep the global search on until there are far more users.

This is my first real personal project that I am passionate about and I'm very excited to share it. I hope people enjoy it as much as I enjoyed working on it because the only way it an succeed is if there are many users. Either way I'm happy to have finished it.
