Free Music for SoundCloud 1.25
But popular music apps can be restrictive, that's why some alternatives and complementary apps have appeared. Free Music for SoundCloud is such an app, it streams content from the heavily used app and comes with some additional tools for users to enjoy.
Sleek interface that slightly resembles that of SoundCloud
The UI is pretty nice but it seems a bit simplistic, with some features and all sections displayed on the bottom of the screen. There are no settings, so the app doesn't have any customization features.
Still, if you were looking to access all sorts of songs and podcasts you can do that fast. It doesn't require online registration, so users can launch the app and start listening immediately. It doesn't have instructions, but new users wouldn't even need them seeing how it's so easy-to-use.
Listen to all sort of songs divided into genres
All you need to do to listen to songs is tap on the genres icon, scroll through all sorts of music genres and pick the one that fits your preferences. You can choose from hip hop, house, metal, techno or alternative rock.
But if you don't wish to explore songs, then simply type the name of the song or artist in the search bar. Although the app loads songs from SoundCloud, it only provides users with a portion of the content that can be found on the original platform.
Create multiple playlists
The app lets you create multiple playlists with songs you wish to listen to. However, not all songs that you add to playlists are actually saved and you might discover that the playlist is missing some of the items that you've added.
Tap on the star to favorite songs and the app also records your recent history of listened songs or artists searched. The sound quality isn't pristine and album art is of low quality.
You can shuffle songs or share them with friends on social networks, but you can't download them to your device because SoundCloud bans such actions taken by users. The app provides users with controls in the lock screen but it doesn't have controls for car mode or an equalizer.

Bottom Line
Design / UI8
The interface is okay, but the app could use some more customization options and a more intuitive layout. |
Function7
It works just fine, but the UI is non-responsive at times and the selection of songs is quite limited compared to the original platform. |

It needs access to some areas of your phone that aren't connected to its features, like location services. |
Battery7
Consumption is moderate even for a music app, so keep an eye on battery levels while using this app. |

It needs devices running Android version 4.0 or later to work, making it inaccessible to some users. |
A nice app but it needs some more features and content.
