Hot Music 1.0
For those who want to browse the most recently released albums and hits form their favorite artists, having a utility like Hot Music onto their Windows Phone handsets can be all they need.
Nice and clean front-end, with all the functions at hand
The friendly interface of this application has a decent look, not too flashy and most of all focused on practicality. The main menu offers instant access to the numerous sections of the app and moving back and forth through the GUI has a smooth feel to it.
The nice album images and other pictures displayed inside the various modules of Hot Music are in contrast with the bothersome adverts that follow you in most areas of the utility. Also, from time to time you will come to face some prompts to rate and review the app, which can be dismissed and deactivated with a couple of taps.
Albums and charts at a glance
This application provides a wide variety of music tracks and record albums that you can browse with the utmost ease.
For the hottest songs you have at your fingertips the Billboard and UK Top charts, while from the "new albums" area you can check out English, Korean, Japanese and Chinese releases.
Cache songs and create playlists for offline playback
Hot Music is able to provide a simple way of keeping your preferred songs onto your phone by storing them inside the app and then saving them into your local library. This feature is limited to transferring 3 items without a purchase.
With this tool you can put together offline and online playlists and listen to your music on the go. Another neat feature of the app is the automatic lyrics search, so every time you open a new song, you will have the text displayed also.

Bottom Line
Design / UI8
This app has a well-balanced interface that manages to combine practicality with a smooth design and fluent navigation. Nonetheless, the ad banners take away some of the good feel of the app. |
Function10
This utility is well equipped and provides many useful features like music caching and transfer to local storage, playlist creation and a built-in lyrics viewer. |
Security6
Hot Music is a bit too curious by nature, as it requires access to the appointments, phone dialer, owner and phone identities for no good reason. |
Battery8
While this application is up and running the power consumption is low to moderate, so the battery usage remains at an average level. |
Price8
A very solid feature pack coupled with an evident ease of use are the strong points of this utility, but it has some limitations and minor drawbacks that diminish a bit its value. |
Compatibility9
Well suited for most Windows Phone devices out there, this app only needs version 7.5 or higher of the operating system to be installed onto the handset. |
