Ministry of Sound 2.2.3
Ministry of Sound is designed in such a way that the player controls only emerge when you need them, leaving the entire UI to focus on the content and how you browse the artists and their sets.
A gallery of sets
In addition to the Live Radio function, you can select the days of the week to choose your sets and add them to your queue, favorite sets, watch headline sets directly from the club, and even plan your nights with listings and ticket purchase.
The player sits at the bottom in a small area with just play / pause functionality, allowing you to navigate the app without fear of touching playback controls by accident.
Radio & Club
Ministry of Sound has two main sections in the menubar that sits at the left. The green-themed Radio menu lets you listen live, schedule, browse DJs and shows, and go Live in the club.
The club section is purple-themed and lets you buy tickets, check out listings, see photo galleries, and more.
The sound quality is great, but sadly there’s no offline listening feature (not even for the oldest of sets).
The settings are practically inexistent, something that may or may not cater to some listeners. However, here at Softpedia we appreciate a music app that puts emphasis on the content, rather than on the controls and the layout.
UI could be more readable
The design is ambitious and bold. The UI scrolls through every set bringing up universal options in a way that saves real estate on the display in order to serve multiple titles at once. However, the backgrounds are too filled with graphics, sometimes too dark, and the text is somewhat hard to follow (despite being caps-locked throughout the app).
Ministry of Sound Radio also comes with support for Chromecast, which manes that you can now broadcast your music straight to your TV and enjoy it all via the big screen and the audio system you have in place.
